Here are some exercises that (unexpectedly) made my life easier! "Hybrid Fitness Routine" is free on my website and linked on my profile if you're looking for one. No login needed, so feel free to just check it out! I tried to pick exercises in this video that weren't the obvious ones, like bar hanging etc. I also didn't mention ones that reduced pain, since I feel like that's a slightly different topic. Straight arm lifting helped more things feel lighter, especially during manual labor. While the same muscles are worked during things like pushups, pullups, handstand pushups, etc, it just made a huge different even with a small amount of weight. The "curl position" is underrated for daily functionality, in my opinion. I got into fitness with calisthenics, so I never paid much attention to curls until I started doing isometrics. While curls are usually meant to grow the bicep, I've found it to be very handy for carrying things as well. Lastly, I've been doing more physical labor recently and it often involves squatting down in "unusual" ways. While we don't NEED this, it's convenient when I'm in a hurry. The alternative would be to move one thing at a time, etc. However, if you're new to this, I recommend getting comfortable with multiple full, deep, bodyweight squats first if you haven't done so already! That's what I have for now. Have a wonderful day!
Love you videos they are really interesting on what the human body is really capable of. You should consider doing a Collab with the stay flexy guy. I like his videos too. 😊😊
It‘s one of the only fitness channels I watch, because my dude is nothing but kind, supportive and helpful in literally everything he says. I have deep respect for him.
@@tiberseptim8434 He is super charismatic, not the least bit full of himself. He seems to enjoy what he's doing a lot also, it's not so much a thing you need to force yourself to do as is the case with other bodybuilders. I would recommend Fitness FAQ as well. Both have a deeper knowledge about natural movements.
It's funny too because all of those movements are excellent for bodybuilding. Even the deep knee flexion squats, it reminded me of sissy squats which are the ultimate quad isolator
You can build up! Regular squats, narrow squats, staggered squats (one leg in front or to the side), and then assisted one leg squats holding on to a pole or something. And thank you so much for watching and being here!
I tell people "I just want to work out so I can make my body do what I want." Turns out I just want the Hampton-type fitness. Thank you for being my goal 🙌
Balancing on a rounded object, in flip flops, while carrying something one handed to throw off your center of gravity… That was a hard flex sir, and I tip my hat to you.
Even though it was clear from the video what he was doing, it seems like only after I read your comment I came across that he was actually doing something that's not that easy as he makes it look. He acts so naturally while doing wild stuff that having someone pointing it out makes you realize how challenging that could be for anybody else
As someone who has a bachelors in kinesiology and in masters degree in exercise science I appreciate what this guy is doing. He gives some good detail to back up his claims.
Very true! These odd exercises seem to have no use until you realize these are movements you actually USE, all day long. You might not be lifting a log, but you might be lifting a heavy toddler, and exercising those muscles will make these things easier😊
I use to watch you and had bad knees and my knowledge of anatomy and when I use to watch you explain simple knowledge that makes total sense has helped me build muscle these 7 months working out shoot my balance has gotten better I no longer complain about how my body hurts when I do squats appreciate it bro you helping people out here fr fr
It's so crazy now much his muscles pop when he lifts something. It really goes from kinda "everyday guy" to kinda "f*cking shredded dayum!". Talking bout sleeper build
I love doing plank rotations. With proper form, forcing your extended arms to hold your body weight touches on that functional strength he brought up. “Everything becomes easier by comparison!”
I love this way of giving people advice in short clips. Probably one of my favorite trends so far, I absorb everything so much better! Commenting to keep it in my feed ❤️
only as a parent do you understand dad strength 😂 carrying around a growing weight is a REALLY good long term workout, bonus if you keep it up and can pick your kid up when they're 20 or 30 😂😂
It's funny how training specificity works. I can curl 50lb+ dumbbells no problem, but if I hold my 20lb niece for more than 5-10 minutes my arm feels like it wants to fall off. My sister, by comparison, struggles to curl 20lb dumbbells but can hold her daughter for hours with no problem.
I love your energy so much- ive finally made progress on my shoulder mobility so I've needed some new exercises Hearing that unusual form squats are good too actually makes me feel better lol
How was this video SO educational and entertaining simultaneously? Hamptom never ceases to amazes me with his continued creativity and humor. Every video is always different and fun and I learn so much. 💙
@@justsayin._. Please point me to the video that showcases Stayflexy's attitude that turned you off or explain what you mean? Attitude and content wise these guys are pretty dang similar bro
@@NickDanzinger not really any reason to prove an inconsequential opinion. Lol. I just don't like his personality. He seems like a snob. Of course, I could be wrong
@@justsayin._. I know it seems harmless to hate on influencers or anyone on the internet, but you would probably be a lot happier if you didn't contribute more negativity in the world for literally no reason. You wouldn't want somebody doing the same to you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My friend, you are an inspiration. Using your advice, I switched to zero-drop toe box shoes and worked on lower into a squat. Now, after 6 months, I can rest in a squat and slowly, slowly stand up to maximize strength. I have moderately severe osteoarthritis in my knees and am 60 years old, so this is a really big deal. My knees have gone from being weak and stiff to being strong and pain-free. It has not been easy, but the progress has been paying off in much greater comfort and mobility.
I took taekwondo a few years back, and one of the moves they teach you is a side kick, which has been surprisingly useful for a lot of not taekwondo related, like ballencing a laundry basket on my leg while i open door's.
@@DZ-jm1my I thought myron actually challenged the group with well thought out positions. Basically all of his stances held up, valid arguments were not made against them. The fat people were refusing to take accountability.
Easily one of the best UA-cam pages on all of UA-cam. Incredible energy, easily viewable by a very large demographic naturally not forced, kind, gentle, mild, fun, positive, real, It's just so great to see you again Hampton!
The way squats and curls have helped me SO much as mother. Being able to squat down and pick up my two toddlers (both in the 80-90th percentile wieghing a total of about 80lbs) became a hell of a lot easier once I started working out frequently.
@@ViltrumiteIsRite99 ladies should do whatever they want. Full stop. Women should not be afraid to get muscular or take up space. We don't have to fit in these stupid beauty standards. We should do things that make us feel healthy and strong regardless of how people will view us.
I’ve been doing your routine for about a month now, also using the website, and it’s become an integral part of a bigger life change. Your approach just makes it work. Thank you so much for everything you do man.
That's awesome! Keep up the incredible work - cheering for you! There's an app version of the website too - it's still in beta, but some may find it helpful for reference. There's also a link for free support from personal trainers on the website in case you need help. They're all friends of mine and they're here to answer questions. Have a wonderful day!
You are ridiculously likable and come across as a genuinely kind and sweet person who communicates what he is genuinely passionate about. More of this is always, always welcome
This made my day infinitely better. Your positive approach to fitness made me feel so much better about my body and made me excited to work out. It’s nice hearing about working out being a neutral and helpful thing not something to shape and sculpt the body. Especially since I struggle with body image issues and an eating disorder.
Free fitness routine based on these principles linked on my profile! Or you can Google "Hybrid Fitness Routine." There's also a book, ebook, and app version if you want one. Oh and free help from certified personal trainers if you need assistance. Thanks!
Yes! I started training with my bodybuilding husband last year. I was amazed when we moved and had to do it by ourselves how my body held up when I knew before starting training it wouldn’t have through that day. When I stopped for awhile due to my job schedule I noticed how much easier my strength had made everyday life as my muscles weakened. Im back in it again though! Love this
I love this! Now Im motivated to lift. No one ever teaches functionality of body building in daily life like this (in my own feed at least). Way to motivate, making life easier is what motivates those of us that are "too busy in life for the gym."
Isometric bicep curls are great! Helped break a plateau in my bicep growth. My training was holding my daughter almost every outing, walk, etc. “some day she’ll never want to be held” was my mantra to push through the pain!
This man comes in my life every now and then drops some wisdom and positivity and then just disappears, its one of the healthiest friendships ive ever had 😂😂😂
That casual deep pistol squat. 😅 You helped me a lot at the beginning of my lifting journey about a year ago. I was wanting hypertrophy and joint health with the least money possible so i learned a lot through your calethstetics and ring training. Thanks for making getting healthy feel approachable.
Thought you'd gone dude. Missed your chill videos. Finally started hitting the gym, so learning some tips on a healthy way is something I'm really keen on. Love ya dude
I love this so much! I’m new to calisthenics, but I’ve been doing yoga for ages. I love when I can easily do a funky move because of the exercise that I have been doing. It makes life so much more efficient fun and safe!

Yeah and he only touched like a 1% of what it gives you in return.
Your vibe and disposition make me very happy. You seem like a cheerful person and there’s something comforting about you.

Mobility exercises seem really useful!

Those aren’t flip flops you 🤡. It’s easier to balance in sandals like that because you can more easily engage your foot muscles
literally a hard “flex”
His core strength🤩🤩🤩

As a gardener, these tips are very useful. The weird positions I have to hold at times, lifting something while avoiding sensitive plants
I have black raspberries with thorns. Both harvesting them and weeding them are called "danger yoga" in my household!

The positive energy radiating off this man is insane
It’s so nice to see him put on muscle as a purely functional need

God bless! 😇
Your biceps are getting bigger, your style definitely works 100%
Holding a baby for long periods of time is definitely a different kind of exercise. I feel like the nerves in my one arm are dead 😅
I rember that !!😮😮

One of THE BEST work out tips I have ever seen!
This is so wholesome and informative, thanks bro your brightening the world with every video
I love your energy so much- ive finally made progress on my shoulder mobility so I've needed some new exercises

Protect this man at all cost
Nail on the head again. Great channel, create advice.
This guy has such a fun voice 🤩
I feel like I really need to beam myself over to wherever you are and just absorb all your knowledge and experience.
Number one reason I prefer strength exercise, it improves everyday life 💪
Now this is a quality Short. 👍
The “maybe one day ill own matching weights” is such a mood lmao
Excellent. Not enuf people focus on the most important thing about muscles, Function!
I love this! Now Im motivated to lift. No one ever teaches functionality of body building in daily life like this (in my own feed at least). Way to motivate, making life easier is what motivates those of us that are "too busy in life for the gym."
I haven't used any advices given in his videos so far. I just like watching this guy.

This out of the box thinking got you a new subscriber. This sort of training is right up my alley! Smart and functional, I love it!
Always helpful to see this kinda stuff, good motivation
''maybe one day i'll own matching weights'' is so relatable 😅
Smooth as baby shhh.. this man is lethal yet very humble
You have unexpectedly made my life better🙌
Agreed. I rarely work out, but I do move in weird ways a lot.
