Bioneer brother just covers the best stuff for those seeking beyond normal Natural strength for real world power or to add to their martial arts abilities.🏋♀️😎👍⚔️
Your videos always encourage me to do random stuff to build random feats of strength. For the last 2 weeks I've been trying to balance my whole body weight on a door handle, using just my saggy testicles to clinch onto it.
As a long time ambidexterious individual, I can answer that question. Writing with your odd hand will mostly just improve your writing skill. However, doing so and brushing your teeth odd and intentionally opening doors and performing day to day tasks odd will train your ambi-braindedness. It will help you understand how to be ambidexterious. However, tasks that require fine motor skills will need to be trained both ways and the only way to improve those skills is to train them directly.
Cool, thanks for the insight! My Granddad was 'naturally' ambidextrous, which is one of the reasons I've always been interested. Do you know where your ambidexterity came from?
The Bioneer yes. It is also genetic for me. My mom was left handed but trained right handed, my cousin is right handed but throws and kicks with his left. My sister is ambidexterious with a slight right hand preference and I say I'm ambidexterious with a slight left preference because it's easier explaining it that way than to explain that I have to learn every new skill both right and left handed because I do not intuitively know which way will work for me. I played guitar and welded right handed for years before realizing I'm more skilled at both left handed. And this past month I've been attempting to learn a tricking gumbi. I've been training the entire time left handed and left footed because it seemed more natural. But then after a month of making very little progress, I attempted it right handed and immediately landed it. Lol. It is very strange because I never know if I'm going to be left handed or right handed when I learn something new. That's why I specifically mentioned fine motor skills. Simple things like writing or eating, I easily do with either hand without even noticing which hand I'm using but fine tasks that involve both hands simultaneously confuse me because both hands attempt to take the dominant task at the same time and that doesn't workout well for obvious reasons.
Studying & practising the tabla drums has benefited me in this way as well. Both hands doing something together and on their own. In addition there is a “male” and “female” drum that is used with the opposite hand, so there are some energetic components as well. And then there’s the recitation and memorisation, which i’d like to be better at. Music & physicality, a big part of my life out here. All best))))
I'm a year late to the convo but spot on A lot of people aiming to be ambi forget the simple things. For single handed individuals the fine motor skills have been built up for years while the opposite goes neglected. As a child we unintentionally train those skills by picking things up, doing simple actions. Like you said just doing stuff with the opposite hand will slowly build these connections. I'm unsure if I am genetically ambi or not, since the only person to be ambi was my grandmother's sister. She'd often write stuff backwards and upside down with both hands. However this could just be a result of cruelty in the old Irish schooling system, beating those who were left handed and forcing them to write with the right, as left handedness was seen as siding with the Devil and God abandoning you, not just a genetic mutation. But I do know as a child I would intentionally do stuff with both hands, much like how you put it, I wouldn't know what I was good at until I tried it with both hands. While kickboxing I was apparently a lefty too, but I had to try both ways to find out my right leg felt like a log moving it around😂
I've read a lot about Harry Houdini lately and he actually practiced foot dexterity which helped him in his escapes. His first trick was bending over backwards and picking up a pin with his teeth. He never slept more than four hours a night. He had an ice bath installed in his basement so that he could practice his water escapes - and came to prefer cold baths (decades before Wim Hof!). Dr. J.E. Rourke an anatomical expert said, "Houdini is the most remarkable man I ever examined. I have examined Sandow and most all the physical wonders of the country. But Houdini is in a class by himself." He reminds me of Bruce Lee because he was always exploring new things and trying to be the best that he could. My main source is The Secret Life of Houdini by Kalush and Sloman. I could go on and on. I'd love to see you do a video on him sometime especially his exercise routines if you can find anything.
I would also, really like to see a video on Houdini and his feats as well! Thanks for the comment! I am always looking for new content, whether it be a video, a book, an article and what-have-you. I will be looking for this book and eagerly digging into it!
Yes, Houdini seems to have gone under the radar a bit these days but the man was amazing. If anyone can do him justice with a brilliantly informative video it's the Bioneer!
@@edgarlee2802 Agreed! Who knows, maybe he would find another person or two that has escaped our notice and deserves attention and remembering as well!
Yes I LOVE this idea, thanks! I've been planning a 'legends' series for a while now, looking at a range of inspiring individuals from various different walks of life. Houdini would be a fantastic choice and ideal fit for the channel. Really amazing/fascinating guy, and that book sounds amazing. Off to Amazon right now :-)
The interesting thing about ambidexterity training is that forcing your left (or non-dominate side) to do what your right normally does not only improves the left side but also the right. Sort of an open secret among musicians. Have no idea if this applies to things like strength, but it does provide a window into how the brain works.
I'm a musician and you are right, I found out I had a nack for this when I got better at playing many years ago. I was able to sing and play some off beat stuff at the same time. My lawn mower broke during the last depression we had I couldn't buy another one so I started cutting the grass by hand swinging a blade the was so exhausting that I thought I would have a heart attack. So I taught my self to swing left handed as well so I could switch hands then I learned to not switch but could swing back and forth. I was about 60 years old at the time. Watch the movie Cinderella man he became world champian boxer because he learned to switch hands working on the docks be cause he hurt his right hand. By the way I cut the grass for about 5 months and my blood pressure dropped way down I must have been producing a load of growth hormones because now there is exercising things that people are doing to help them become better at their sport or health.
In asymmetrical sports, too. It's forces you to think about form/what you actually want to do, and your body to figure out the best way of getting it done.
I work overnight as a grocery stocker. We gotta stock fast and it involves a lot of rapid squatting lifting and cutting with a box cutter. I learned to use the cutter in my left hand to counteract the constant twisting in one direction for hours on hand.
The brain puts limiters on our body's, mostly so we don't hurt ourselves like you stated in a video before. This same thing causes people having a seizure to spasm so hard they can bite off fingers, rip their own muscles and break their own bones with muscle force. This happens because the Brain isn't functioning right and limiters aren't working. Now that being said some Monks have been able through training mediate and heat themselves drying wet towels placed on them and be out in freezing weather for hours. This makes me think perhaps with the right training you could stop your Brain's limiters through effort if need be like unleash a adrenaline or etc. Maybe a combination of mental and physically conditioning this could be achieved. Sorry for the long comment, thanks for another insightful video.
Look up 'hysterical strength', I think you'd find it very interesting :-) And yeah, I think with enough training meditation can provide greater control over your CNS - which in turn can lead to some awesome feats. All stuff I will be looking into further in future vids. Thanks for the comment!
Check out Matteo Deuanis Spinazzola, he's a calisthenics athlete who is trying to remove his brain's limiter, he's capable of unbelievable feats of strength
Well said buddy...when I'm training people I always say keep your chest out (to keep your back straight and engage the right muscles) and most importantly BREATH!!!
If you have been following this channel or have decades of physical training in various athletics in your background you will realize that being superhuman is not limited to muscles. Having articulate healthy feet does indeed contribute.
I mean how one defines superhuman is different, I would define superhuman as someone capable of doing something that the average person couldn't even if they tried to do it and trained to do it for years. So I fore one am on the fence about this as while I can easily enough pick up a pencil and try to draw with my feet but I'd at best be able to scribble at the level of a 2 year old so this is indeed difficult but is it on the level of it being super human... well I don't know haven't heard of too many people trying to learn this to begin with but I can't see this taking more than a couple years to master to this level... But how'd we even get to talking about what's a superhuman feat? All I was doing to begin with is saying that the clip was pretty strange like a Russian drawing manga with her feet, you couldn't make this sh*t up if you wanted
Fine if you're running over dirt, grass, wood, gravel, or rubber. You will get fucked up though it's rock, cement, asphalt, etc. I was homeless through fall and winter and spring and didn't have proper footwear and still need to finish treatments for my feet. Got cytovirus in my left foot and worts in my right foot. I got boots now with steel plates on the bottom and top because one time while I was in the hospital the guy across from me got HIV from a damned needle while talking out a garbage bag and the damned drug addicts leave their needles all over the place and I don't want to step on one. I would recommend just wearing moccasins or some kind of very thin slipper and running/walking around not too long if you want to toughen up feet without injuring them. Heck you can even just wear a pair of shoes and if you do as much walking around as I do eventually your shoes will fall off / disintegrate from being worn out and by that time that happens you feet will have like a couple CM of dead skin padding the bottom that you can take a knife to and cut off if you want to back to having sensitive feet.
Seriously though barefoot running or running around in those feet-shaped rubber shoes (e.g. "deckpaws") on a treadmill or a rubber surface is a really amazing experience just don't fuck your feet/ankles up running barefoot on surfaces that are really hard.
In Karate you always train in bare feet try pulling your self across the room just using your toes!, Pull your big toe back when doing side kick, pull all your toes back when doing front kick, try to move all toes individually (very hard), In Sanchin Kata you spread the feet and grip the ground with the toes, stand on a curb or brick on just toes and drop your weight down.
Breath in through your nose and out with your mouth using the same force that you're using to execute your exercise or hold. The synchronization is a key element that didn't get much attention during the video.
I had asthma as a kid and was taught how to belly breath very young. It's become completely second nature. The most valuable thing I've ever been taught.
I have an Idea (if you need one, I’m sure you’ve already got a lot) for untapped strength: Sight training - Peripheral vision, accuracy and more (I think it‘s important for general preparedness?)
To answer your question at 8:55 of "Does training writing with your left hand only improve your dexterity in that task? or does it translate to other things?" Yes, training ambidexterity improves you through that one skill especially, but not exclusively. Those skills translate to others that you tap into. Also, the more often you train ambidexterity, the easier it is to engage ambidextrously in tasks you had never tried on the odd side. Here's an example from experience: I myself have been traininging my "extra sensory proprioception" in tossing items around my body as a contact juggler. Water bottles, car keys, chapstick, lighters, fruits and vegetables, wallet, whatever is in my hands I'll toss it with my left and right around to my left and right in various ways. Back to front, front to back, side to side, etc. I wanted to see if building my hand eye coordination and spatial distancing skills would improve anything else. And the answer was a resounding YES! MANY things that would normally fall from slipping, being knocked off balance, etc... within my vicinity are not only caught and never hit the ground but are caught by REFLEX, not by a cognitive decision making type logical process. Also, by improving balance through standing on either foot, my ability to glide when I walk instead of trudge has been such a welcome by product!
For years and years ive looked out for someone like you, brilliant bro, im with you with everything, its amazing to finally find someone like me that i can relate to. Keep moving forward bro ✌
Thank you for your videos! I’m a normal guy from America, but my whole life I’ve always trained everything to be functional in everything. So it’s nice to see someone doing it and sharing it on a educational/elite level :)
Bro.... You have the most unique training routines that I've ever seen. I don't just like it, I respect it because in my eyes it's very interesting and inspiring. Thank you for making this video for guys like me to learn about the many different aspects of training regimens.
yes, thank you, so thankful I found your channel. @5:01 I felt every pebble as you took every step. An unforgettable moment for myself when I went to North Fork Falls with my friends and realized I never trained my feet and always wore shoes.
Thanks man! One commenter complemented me on the technique, another said I box like a bitch lol. Still lots of work to do but loving the training. Scheduled in a whole session of bag work for this week - first one of those in a loong time!
After years of work injuries, finally healed and back to lifting. Trying something different, I'm following Herman Goerner's routine. The information regarding foot strength will absolutely help me. My garage is unheated when I'm not training so I'm picking up some moccasins. I've suffered on and off for years from plantar fasciitis, save when training martial arts. I'm hoping this improves the quality of my life and training. Thank you!
Found your channel last week. Glad i did. Some interesting change of training here. I just started back in the gym after two years off. Had two cars rearended in one year. And since then my energy has suffered, and some minor depression. Been back in the game for three weeks now. And it feels good. Besides having to work around an unhappy knee. I think stretching will give some relief there.
The comment section on this channel is almost as great as the vids. It's genuinely the only channel I make a point of reading comments on, just to cheer me up 😁👍💪
Yay part 2! I have been binge watching you, Jaxblade and ThenX lately, and am currently riding a huge wave of motivation, getting me off my arse and back in shape. I love the direction your channel is heading. Grant is a great addition to the team, and I can't wait for more from him, also looking forward to the next Batman based workout. Keep up the excellent work, you have a bright future.
The video, your channel, and especially the ending wrap up explanation of how to intelligently begin, wonderfully said and explained! I sincerely appreciate your work, your approach, and the effort you into this, its really worth watching...and we the people salut you!!! You fantastic balance with combing a great trifecta of inspiration, education, and motivation. Really wonderfully done, and some appreciation from this humble viewer if nothing else.
I was forced into training ambidexterity when I got into a car accident and had to work primarily with my other arm for a while. It's still kind of nice being able to give my right arm a break.
I'm guessing the Lakes District, which I have seen. 💚 🧙♂️ 🇧🇦 I learnt to write with my left hand when the right was healing from a cut across three tendons and a nerve. 💚
Your videos are clever, inspiring and undeniably well prepared. You go to the point giving clear explanations. You take every topic as deep as you can. Finally a channel about holistic health and fitness worth following! Thank you for the hard work and keep up with that kind of video please.
My notes Train the arch in your foot for more power through minimilist shoes etc Ball ARCH rolling hopping ARCH exercise do in locked postion to generate more power. *why is because when you dig into the fasica of the feet you force the body to engage th eglutes more than quads. OVERCOMING isometrics do it accept after fatigued go at it again with acceleration and you'll recruit more muscle fiber a quick burst
Another solid video! I’ve rewatched most of your videos way more times than I care to admit and always learn something new from them that I can apply to my training. Thanks for all the info and motivation!You’re the reason I get up early or stay up late to get my workout in and to try new things. Keep the vids coming :)
As a kid I wrote with both hands, I switched around as I felt that moment. But when I was 8 my teacher forced me to choose a hand and only write with that hand. That day I felt like using my left hand, and I have been ever since. But I do pretty much everything else right handed.
Love this video brother bioneer. I've been doing these exercises and hold dbs with fatgrip pros and have gained immense strength in kicking and jumping power and maintained it too and I'm in my late 40s. Smash that like button everyone. Another great one bioneer👍🦝
Subscribed! I always liked your channel cause its one of the only channels that make fitness interesting.. i can also recommend the Channel "Red Delta Project" its quite similar to yours but mostly based around Bodyweight training
really great content. I have to stop what I'm doing and actually sit and watch your vids without any distractions. I was also talking to my Aikido sensie (being an ex-SEAL) he truly, also loves watching your content. Keep up the great work.
I learned to use a hammer in my other hand when I worked for a door manufacturing company, it was easier than contorting my body to use my right hand, increased my work volume and reduced accidents. Getting confident with your other hand makes sense that it would translate to many little things, I'll get back to using my left more.
@@TheBioneer nice! I've wanted to learn it but the learning curve of a couple years does put me off a bit. Plus a vocal teacher would be a good idea so you don't ruin your voice. Can't wait for an article or video!
@@timothyfreeman97 not sure honestly. I've only heard of players using wind instruments use it, and then I learned that Aboriginal's did it all the time. Not sure if they were the first or anything
Thanks for all you do I am a first time subscriber Must say you are inspirational Please keep it going And congrats on the birth of your child They truly are a treasure and our future 😎
I can't help but think about Medicham from Pokemon now. It baffled me how the Pokemon did Yoga and meditated so much to the point that it's PHYSICAL attack was jacked up, and not it's psychic powers. Now, I'm realizing that it just activated more muscle fibers in it's body through Yoga and Meditation to where it can hit like a truck, even though it looks like a pink bobblehead.
I just saw that Chong Xi has an interview series with Kadour Ziani, who to me is the most impressive dunker of the past 2 decades. These days I was just thinking about him and what made him able to perform 50+ inch vertical jumps and the condition of his feet and calves must've been for that. And here there is this interview. What a coincidence... Or is it karma? ;) anyways thanks for the great video. Love your work.
I've got the writing backwards lady beat by about 22 yrs. I've been writing backwards as an ambidextrous person my whole life. What she did, did not impress me. Still impressive lol
This channel is always so good. I'd like to start some of these neurological training methods...I had taught myself to write and draw with both hands at one point. I think I just have an easy time bridging both halves of my brain because it was fairly easy. I like to hike in sandals. I've noticed that my feet are far stronger and more flexible than others by doing so.
Please make a video on knock knees fix or knee valgus fix. I am jothi das from India and I am not able to workout, walk or run properly. Please help me.
Pretty good. You covered a lot of material. And it is clear you have been training for close to twenty years ? Have you tried standing still ? I'm not joking. Perhaps you have come across the concept of Sung in your Chinese studies. There is an entire style known variously as Yi Ch'uan and also Da Ch'eng Ch'uan. Where Yang style T'ai Chi Ch'uan moves slowly, this art practices stillness. And they reveal the secret to explosive power is in the red triangle in the foot. Yi, sung, chi, xu-jin, fa-jin, fa-li. Good luck.
Great video. I need to add that feet training with my calisthenics. I'm a cyclist and the one thing I dislike is how we have these ultra stiff shoes to get as much power and efficiency to the pedals. It's like a cast that takes your feet muscles out of the equation. I like it for the performance, but it's not good for my poor feet.
I've been training both sides ever since I was 16 with soccer, jiu jitsu, kickboxing and, basketball and I cannot write at all with my non dominant hand despite kicking punching and throwing just as well with both sides
I ran 21 miles completely barefoot nonstop on asphalt pavement. I wonder if barefoot running helps fighting conditioning and performance? Also, I read in the book Born to Run something about shoes act like a cast on the feet and just how when a cast on the limb is taken off the muscles are weakened and need to be strengthened.
I absolutely think it does help fighting - strengthening the foot is great for delivering stronger kicks, and gaining more dexterity will also help with balance and power. Great analogy!
Have you seen Athean-X here on youtube? On the subject of physical exercise both your channel and his have a lot in common. Great video! Keep 'em coming.
Eccentric should not be easy, and should not be thought of that way. The weight should be under control in all directions. Proper breathing is equally important for aerobic and anaerobic training. Working the feet is very important, but minimalist running is a recipe for disaster. Train your feet in the other ways you've mentioned. All martial artist should be training all techniques equally on both sides. I've seen so many dudes who train only to one side. Very easy to spot and exploit. Always train every thing on both sides, from the knees, and all angles on the ground. Also, training w/ Kali sticks is very helpful. A super skill, attribute developer. Not just for stick work, but many weapons, empty hand, and developing ambidexterity. Imagine the great brain work switching hands on the guitar or any instrument would yield.
Very true about the eccentric. I meant that merely to describe the correct point for the breath as you are yielding to the resistance. But yes, controlling the eccentric has a lot of benefits. Thanks for the comment :-)

But how'd we even get to talking about what's a superhuman feat? All I was doing to begin with is saying that the clip was pretty strange like a Russian drawing manga with her feet, you couldn't make this sh*t up if you wanted
Google Is A Cruel Mistress
Ok. Simple: healthy dexterous feet contribute to overall athletic performance.
Fair enough, though one question... Why are you telling me this? (...) I mean I've never said anything to the contrary, have I?
You are a master of the knowledge of the Human body and anatomy and body mechanics or mechanism
As soon as I saw you do that push up with feet off ground I Subbed
A tip from a boxing trainer... bring your hands back as fast as you throw them. Must make a conscious effort in doing this. Good luck!
Training with Arnis sticks is underrated way of training to be ambidextrous. It also works grip strength, and your reaction time.
2:30 I've switched to barefoot running and I've never felt better. It's crazy how we've tried to make essential movements easier, like sports wear.
Actually, running shoes were designed to decrease injury rate
Yeh to me it seems like with barefoot running i almost run out from under myself when I run barefoot
Fine if you're running over dirt, grass, wood, gravel, or rubber. You will get fucked up though it's rock, cement, asphalt, etc. I was homeless through fall and winter and spring and didn't have proper footwear and still need to finish treatments for my feet. Got cytovirus in my left foot and worts in my right foot. I got boots now with steel plates on the bottom and top because one time while I was in the hospital the guy across from me got HIV from a damned needle while talking out a garbage bag and the damned drug addicts leave their needles all over the place and I don't want to step on one. I would recommend just wearing moccasins or some kind of very thin slipper and running/walking around not too long if you want to toughen up feet without injuring them. Heck you can even just wear a pair of shoes and if you do as much walking around as I do eventually your shoes will fall off / disintegrate from being worn out and by that time that happens you feet will have like a couple CM of dead skin padding the bottom that you can take a knife to and cut off if you want to back to having sensitive feet.
Seriously though barefoot running or running around in those feet-shaped rubber shoes (e.g. "deckpaws") on a treadmill or a rubber surface is a really amazing experience just don't fuck your feet/ankles up running barefoot on surfaces that are really hard.
@Meta Man just check the shoes the shoalin monks use take out the inner sole and you got yourself the cheapest barefoot shoes you can find..
In Karate you always train in bare feet try pulling your self across the room just using your toes!, Pull your big toe back when doing side kick, pull all your toes back when doing front kick, try to move all toes individually (very hard), In Sanchin Kata you spread the feet and grip the ground with the toes, stand on a curb or brick on just toes and drop your weight down.
Breath in through your nose and out with your mouth using the same force that you're using to execute your exercise or hold. The synchronization is a key element that didn't get much attention during the video.
NICE! loving the old school, retro intro. Looking forward to your training session with Mark!
Thanks! Haha I used to love that old X-Men show - first thing that came to mind when making a part two!
I had asthma as a kid and was taught how to belly breath very young. It's become completely second nature.
The most valuable thing I've ever been taught.
More Gold my boy, more gold. Way underrated for good information. Stay learning Ladies & Gents
Easily my favorite youtuber.
I have an Idea (if you need one, I’m sure you’ve already got a lot) for untapped strength:
Sight training - Peripheral vision, accuracy and more (I think it‘s important for general preparedness?)
Got a couple of vids on this actually :-D Check out my one on Daredevil training, and the one on Real-Life Spider-Sense. Thanks for the suggestion!
Nice post buddy - Great work!
To answer your question at 8:55 of "Does training writing with your left hand only improve your dexterity in that task? or does it translate to other things?"
Yes, training ambidexterity improves you through that one skill especially, but not exclusively. Those skills translate to others that you tap into. Also, the more often you train ambidexterity, the easier it is to engage ambidextrously in tasks you had never tried on the odd side. Here's an example from experience:
I myself have been traininging my "extra sensory proprioception" in tossing items around my body as a contact juggler. Water bottles, car keys, chapstick, lighters, fruits and vegetables, wallet, whatever is in my hands I'll toss it with my left and right around to my left and right in various ways. Back to front, front to back, side to side, etc. I wanted to see if building my hand eye coordination and spatial distancing skills would improve anything else. And the answer was a resounding YES! MANY things that would normally fall from slipping, being knocked off balance, etc... within my vicinity are not only caught and never hit the ground but are caught by REFLEX, not by a cognitive decision making type logical process. Also, by improving balance through standing on either foot, my ability to glide when I walk instead of trudge has been such a welcome by product!
For years and years ive looked out for someone like you, brilliant bro, im with you with everything, its amazing to finally find someone like me that i can relate to. Keep moving forward bro ✌
Such an underrated channel that should have a million subscribers
Thank you for your videos! I’m a normal guy from America, but my whole life I’ve always trained everything to be functional in everything. So it’s nice to see someone doing it and sharing it on a educational/elite level :)
Bro.... You have the most unique training routines that I've ever seen. I don't just like it, I respect it because in my eyes it's very interesting and inspiring. Thank you for making this video for guys like me to learn about the many different aspects of training regimens.
yes, thank you, so thankful I found your channel. @5:01 I felt every pebble as you took every step. An unforgettable moment for myself when I went to North Fork Falls with my friends and realized I never trained my feet and always wore shoes.
yess! Technique looking much better dude great work :)
Thanks man! One commenter complemented me on the technique, another said I box like a bitch lol. Still lots of work to do but loving the training. Scheduled in a whole session of bag work for this week - first one of those in a loong time!
After years of work injuries, finally healed and back to lifting. Trying something different, I'm following Herman Goerner's routine. The information regarding foot strength will absolutely help me. My garage is unheated when I'm not training so I'm picking up some moccasins. I've suffered on and off for years from plantar fasciitis, save when training martial arts. I'm hoping this improves the quality of my life and training. Thank you!
Found your channel last week. Glad i did. Some interesting change of training here. I just started back in the gym after two years off. Had two cars rearended in one year. And since then my energy has suffered, and some minor depression. Been back in the game for three weeks now. And it feels good. Besides having to work around an unhappy knee. I think stretching will give some relief there.
Thanks, glad you're enjoying the content! Sorry to hear about your accident, but very glad to hear you're back in the gym!
Loved the X-MEN bit on the beggining hahah
Thanks again for another very informational and interesting video, keep em' coming Bioneer
Love the idea of pushing or pulling objects that do not move !
Such a great channel. A real breath of fresh air for youtube to have someone like you with your diverse content. Keep up the great work mate.
The comment section on this channel is almost as great as the vids. It's genuinely the only channel I make a point of reading comments on, just to cheer me up 😁👍💪
Best channel on YT
Yay part 2! I have been binge watching you, Jaxblade and ThenX lately, and am currently riding a huge wave of motivation, getting me off my arse and back in shape.
I love the direction your channel is heading. Grant is a great addition to the team, and I can't wait for more from him, also looking forward to the next Batman based workout.
Keep up the excellent work, you have a bright future.
Another classy display
You get better every day!Sadly im injured,i cant train at the Moment...😢Bu great Video!!
The video, your channel, and especially the ending wrap up explanation of how to intelligently begin, wonderfully said and explained! I sincerely appreciate your work, your approach, and the effort you into this, its really worth watching...and we the people salut you!!! You fantastic balance with combing a great trifecta of inspiration, education, and motivation. Really wonderfully done, and some appreciation from this humble viewer if nothing else.
Two year with only vibrams. I love my new feet!!! Thank you for putting this out, you should be one of their "ambassadors", so should I.
Bicycle in them!
Bro you're f*cking jacked. Subscribed
I was forced into training ambidexterity when I got into a car accident and had to work primarily with my other arm for a while. It's still kind of nice being able to give my right arm a break.
I'm guessing the Lakes District, which I have seen. 💚 🧙♂️ 🇧🇦 I learnt to write with my left hand when the right was healing from a cut across three tendons and a nerve. 💚
Your videos are clever, inspiring and undeniably well prepared. You go to the point giving clear explanations. You take every topic as deep as you can. Finally a channel about holistic health and fitness worth following! Thank you for the hard work and keep up with that kind of video please.
My notes
Train the arch in your foot for more power through minimilist shoes etc
Ball ARCH rolling
hopping ARCH exercise do in locked postion to generate more power. *why is because when you dig into the fasica of the feet you force the body to engage th eglutes more than quads.
OVERCOMING isometrics do it accept after fatigued go at it again with acceleration and you'll recruit more muscle fiber a quick burst
Another solid video! I’ve rewatched most of your videos way more times than I care to admit and always learn something new from them that I can apply to my training. Thanks for all the info and motivation!You’re the reason I get up early or stay up late to get my workout in and to try new things. Keep the vids coming :)
Thanks! That's awesome that the vids get repeat viewings, and I'm really glad they're giving ideas for your workouts. That's the goal :-D
As a kid I wrote with both hands, I switched around as I felt that moment. But when I was 8 my teacher forced me to choose a hand and only write with that hand. That day I felt like using my left hand, and I have been ever since. But I do pretty much everything else right handed.
Love this video brother bioneer. I've been doing these exercises and hold dbs with fatgrip pros and have gained immense strength in kicking and jumping power and maintained it too and I'm in my late 40s. Smash that like button everyone. Another great one bioneer👍🦝
Just want to say you are great dude.🤙🏼👍🏻// viewer from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thanks! :-D
Subscribed! I always liked your channel cause its one of the only channels that make fitness interesting.. i can also recommend the Channel "Red Delta Project" its quite similar to yours but mostly based around Bodyweight training
Dude you look like a real life superhero, beacause you do little of everything
really great content. I have to stop what I'm doing and actually sit and watch your vids without any distractions. I was also talking to my Aikido sensie (being an ex-SEAL) he truly, also loves watching your content. Keep up the great work.
Ur videos have gotten me back in shape thank u so much brother
I learned to use a hammer in my other hand when I worked for a door manufacturing company, it was easier than contorting my body to use my right hand, increased my work volume and reduced accidents. Getting confident with your other hand makes sense that it would translate to many little things, I'll get back to using my left more.
Reflexology comes to mind re bare feet walking and most instruments use two hands, doing different things.
Have you ever heard of someone using Circular breathing during exercise? It's primarily a singing technique to never run out of air
Awesome idea... and a quick search brings up some interesting stuff. I'll look into it!
@@TheBioneer nice! I've wanted to learn it but the learning curve of a couple years does put me off a bit. Plus a vocal teacher would be a good idea so you don't ruin your voice. Can't wait for an article or video!
Don't Baji or Xing Yi people do this?
@@timothyfreeman97 not sure honestly. I've only heard of players using wind instruments use it, and then I learned that Aboriginal's did it all the time. Not sure if they were the first or anything
What I like about you man is you're from my generation! X-men and Batman!
2:50 Did not expect to see this on the bioneer channel 😂
I love, love, love your videos because you have taught me so much about strength. You are a great teacher!
Please also do a video on power building.
Many interesting things in the real martial arts.
These videos are so interesting.
youre videos are great, good job!
Thanks for all you do
I am a first time subscriber
Must say you are inspirational
Please keep it going
And congrats on the birth of your child
They truly are a treasure and our future
😎
I can't help but think about Medicham from Pokemon now. It baffled me how the Pokemon did Yoga and meditated so much to the point that it's PHYSICAL attack was jacked up, and not it's psychic powers.
Now, I'm realizing that it just activated more muscle fibers in it's body through Yoga and Meditation to where it can hit like a truck, even though it looks like a pink bobblehead.
the talk about connection of awareness and recruiting more muscle fibres makes me think of mindfulness have done video on that?
Always an incredible video! I look forward to your videos all the time!
In Karate you use body hardening technique's called Shime. Basically slapping the skin. It has the effect of relaxing you when struck.
“The answer is, uhuduno”. That was hilarious.
I just saw that Chong Xi has an interview series with Kadour Ziani, who to me is the most impressive dunker of the past 2 decades. These days I was just thinking about him and what made him able to perform 50+ inch vertical jumps and the condition of his feet and calves must've been for that. And here there is this interview. What a coincidence... Or is it karma? ;) anyways thanks for the great video. Love your work.
Dude's curling 81 pound dumbells like they're nothing. Animal.
I lift wearing Vibram Five-Finger shoes, and I've noticed that my feet have gotten thicker, especially the pad under the toes.
Awesome!
I've got the writing backwards lady beat by about 22 yrs. I've been writing backwards as an ambidextrous person my whole life. What she did, did not impress me. Still impressive lol
Part 2 was well worth the wait! Great video
This channel is always so good. I'd like to start some of these neurological training methods...I had taught myself to write and draw with both hands at one point. I think I just have an easy time bridging both halves of my brain because it was fairly easy. I like to hike in sandals. I've noticed that my feet are far stronger and more flexible than others by doing so.
Please make a video on knock knees fix or knee valgus fix. I am jothi das from India and I am not able to workout, walk or run properly. Please help me.
Pretty good. You covered a lot of material. And it is clear you have been training for close to twenty years ? Have you tried standing still ? I'm not joking. Perhaps you have come across the concept of Sung in your Chinese studies. There is an entire style known variously as Yi Ch'uan and also Da Ch'eng Ch'uan. Where Yang style T'ai Chi Ch'uan moves slowly, this art practices stillness. And they reveal the secret to explosive power is in the red triangle in the foot. Yi, sung, chi, xu-jin, fa-jin, fa-li. Good luck.
Freakin love it , this is the type of fitness I'm interested in
Thanks! :-D Has been great discovering I'm not the only one into this stuff...
This channel is just awesome for motivation purposes!
Logic is the only smart way, u proved it 🔥🤜
That person can draw better with their foot than I can with my hand.
Outstanding!
Great video. I need to add that feet training with my calisthenics. I'm a cyclist and the one thing I dislike is how we have these ultra stiff shoes to get as much power and efficiency to the pedals. It's like a cast that takes your feet muscles out of the equation. I like it for the performance, but it's not good for my poor feet.
Nice... I think Steven Maxwell and wim hof's method is very good for breathing... I follow both
Can't wait for the routine
Brilliant.
Very interesting 👏 humans are capable of so much with their own bodies if taught correctly.....
I train my left hand quite frequently and quite vigorously.
Whilst I don't always agree I should probably have already subscribed by now... I think I'll do that now.
Welcome aboard!
I've been training both sides ever since I was 16 with soccer, jiu jitsu, kickboxing and, basketball and I cannot write at all with my non dominant hand despite kicking punching and throwing just as well with both sides
I ran 21 miles completely barefoot nonstop on asphalt pavement. I wonder if barefoot running helps fighting conditioning and performance? Also, I read in the book Born to Run something about shoes act like a cast on the feet and just how when a cast on the limb is taken off the muscles are weakened and need to be strengthened.
I absolutely think it does help fighting - strengthening the foot is great for delivering stronger kicks, and gaining more dexterity will also help with balance and power. Great analogy!
Vegan Paradise Wanderer i don't think it is a good idea to run barefoot on asphalt road, it is way too sturdy for ur bone. Try sand or sth similar
It is great for fighting, you can out run any attacker. By the time they catch you they are out of breath and you can kick their ass.
Or dirt trails, barefoot trail running...
Have you seen Athean-X here on youtube? On the subject of physical exercise both your channel and his have a lot in common. Great video! Keep 'em coming.
Yes, Jeff is the man! And thanks :-D
Eccentric should not be easy, and should not be thought of that way. The weight should be under control in all directions. Proper breathing is equally important for aerobic and anaerobic training. Working the feet is very important, but minimalist running is a recipe for disaster. Train your feet in the other ways you've mentioned. All martial artist should be training all techniques equally on both sides. I've seen so many dudes who train only to one side. Very easy to spot and exploit. Always train every thing on both sides, from the knees, and all angles on the ground. Also, training w/ Kali sticks is very helpful. A super skill, attribute developer. Not just for stick work, but many weapons, empty hand, and developing ambidexterity. Imagine the great brain work switching hands on the guitar or any instrument would yield.
Very true about the eccentric. I meant that merely to describe the correct point for the breath as you are yielding to the resistance. But yes, controlling the eccentric has a lot of benefits. Thanks for the comment :-)
Very good video. Thank you for this post!
I love these videos you are really informed in biomechanics
Best. loving your videos. Big Ups!
which is the best time to serve a tea?which would be the relationship between main meals and tea drinking? I think it would be a good idea for a future video
