    Vicious cycles in training are common; you work your butt off, make some progress, maybe get hurt or burn out, then double down with even more effort, and the cycle repeats. Before you know it, you are putting in more effort, trying harder than ever, but gains are coming slower and slower. I experienced this from probably the ages of 25 to 29 or so, and I was chasing numbers on barbell lifts that I thought would confer the adaptions I wanted (they didn't but that's another story). I was so enthusiastic about achieving my goal that in put in maximal effort, repeatedly, with very slow progress. It finally occurred to me that effort wasn't the problem, but the application of it. Taking a step back, and being smarter with how I applied my effort, allowed me to actually get in better shape with LESS effort, as I was more efficient with my training and injured way less.

    What boss did:
    1. Be more targeted with effort
    2. Do exercises that did not injure vs the ones that had already repeatedly injure
    3. Focus on form and technique vs forcing to add reps or weight every session
    4. Build goals around consistency vs outcomes
    Basically physiological hygiene.

      Rich DeVos of Amway Corporation created a speech known as the “Four Winds.” Very insightful about life. Nice chat. So are you between 45-50? Thanks. 69 here. One more point. Even though you had all the theory and education, you were still stuck in the old paradigm. It’s a crazy thing to see new gyms pop up and people continue feeding the beast of pain and physiotherapy. Oh well.

      @@leejohnson197733 Personally, muscle looks like a waste of time to me. It looks like it strongly encourages the use of momentum and changes which muscle groups you're using between each rep, which blows time-under-tension out of the water a bit (apparently TUT is somewhat important). Hand-stand looks perfectly do-able (plenty of video guides to it) but again not something I'm drawn to. Just basic strength training for me but gl with your goals :).

    I'm coming up on 66 and am in the best shape I've been in for some time, simply because I throttled back to a moderate level of work versus that cycle of over doing it until injury, then back sliding into worse shape.
    Doing 75-80% continuously will pay off better than 110% until you crash.

    Guys... I'm 50 years old and I do only calisthenics... I look like a bodybuilder... big and strong and my workouts are always joy to me because I never train to failure... you simply don't need.... even as an advanced athlete.... training to failure has its place and useful but you DON'T NEED!!!... I never turn my workouts into cortisol bath, CNS frying, injury prone, hormone disrupting all pain stress sessions... I do pull ups dips and push ups of all kind... perfect reps 3 x 12 is all you need.... No matter what you do you will grow... it's not you will grow or not... it's how easily and happy smart way you keep your CONSISTENCY... it's a life long game, so please don't hurt your body, your mind and your health....

      @@ronald7482 I'm writing this for all lost souls in the universe of volume, intensity and frequency... As a calisthenics athlete and an occasional weightlifter training for over 4 decades, I will give you the most important tips that, unfortunately, many people, especially the young dudes, NEED TO learn from trial and error suffering pain, regret and loss of health/injury...
      Calisthenics is all about increasing reps and doing a harder variation...
      First, you need to decide what you want. If you want to have a decent muscular good looking and reasonably strong body, calisthenics is all you need. Push ups, dips, pull ups and rows have the perfect intensity tailored by God to build your body... DO NOT doubt it.
      Form is everything.... do every rep in nearly perfect form... eccentric/concentric full ROM slow reps (not too slow... time under tension TUT is bs... just do your reps in good form with full range of motion)
      You CANNOT build your chest without Push ups... no matter how strong you are, always add regular push ups to your routine...
      You never need to train to failure... training to failure comes with a lot of costs, if you want to have an all around healthy young body, (hormones, CNS, brain, joints etc) never train to failure...
      Do your exercises as 3 sets... reps should be equal in all 3 sets... if your max Dips is 20 perfect reps, DO NOT ever do 20 reps in a single set... instead, do 3 sets of 12 with 1 min rest between sets... this will KEEP your capacity to do 20 reps while keeping you fresh and healthy... You don't need to run a marathon to be able to run a marathon... Never test your endurance or strength... you simply don't need... increase your reps like 13 - 12 - 12... and then 13 - 13 - 12... slowly...
      Over time add harder variation... don't do a lot of volume...you dont need...
      If you can do 3 x 15 with 1 min rest between sets, definitely KNOW your max is over 30 in a single set...
      Do 3 full body sessions a week... A lot of people will oppose this, HOWEVER, I will write again... Do 3 full body workouts a week... your body is a whole unit and muscles are the fastest recovering parts of this system... your brain, CNS, internal organs, joints etc also NEED OFF DAYS...
      Your workouts should be fun... do not exhaust yourself... you can rest 5 min between exercises but always rest 1 min between sets... if you rest more, this means you are training to failure style which will lead to a lot of issues including overtraining...
      CONSISTENCY and PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD are what matters... over time slowly add reps to your sets (don't go over 12 or 15 reps... there is diminishing return... if you can do 3 x 12, KNOW that you get 95 percent of everything that exercise can give you...
      If you do your reps in perfect form, know that you are very strong... you can add weight to your exercise and BE READY to get surprised that your reps even almost don't drop down... (this effect is caused by perfect reps... so do your reps in perfect form...
      That's it... good luck and always have fun...

      Basic calisthenics exercises are all you need to build strong muscular body... (I'm 90 kg 200 lbs)... push ups, dips, pull ups and rows have perfect intensity to build muscle tailored by God... So Do not DOUBT calisthenics...
      Form is everything... Do your reps in perfect form. Slow controlled eccentric/concentric full ROM all the way up and all the way down reps... (not too slow... TUT time under tension is BS... just do your reps in good form)
      NEVER train to failure... training to failure comes with a lot of costs including overtraining, hormone disruption, health issues, joint issues etc...You don't need to train to failure to build muscle...
      Do every exercise 3 sets with min rest between sets...if your max dips is 20 reps, never ever do 20 reps in a single set.. instead, do 3 sets of 12 reps with 1 min rest... this will keep your capacity to do 20 reps without any adverse effects of training to failure... you will be fresh and healthy and happy...
      Keep your reps even... and slowly progress... do 11-10-10... and then 11-11-10... don't go over 12 or 15 reps...there is diminishing return... if you can do an exercise 3 x 12, KNOW that you get 95 percent of everything that exercise can give you....
      Slowly add harder variations.. never quit regular push ups... no matter how strong you are, YOU CANNOT BUILD YOUR CHEST WITHOUT PUSH UPS... so do your 3 x 12 regular push ups...
      If your reps are in slow good form, Be ready to get surprised that when you add weight to your exercises, your reps even almost do not drop down... this is the effect of doing your reps in slow good form... So do your reps in good form and embrace the strength it gives... (You don't need to add weight to your exercises...I simply don't)
      Do 3 full body sessions...Most guys will oppose this... again I write.. Do 3 full body sessions a week... Your body is a whole unit... not a puzzle pieces of muscle groups/body parts... your brain, hormones, internal organs CNS, joints etc.. all NEED OFF DAYS... Whatever Split you do, you will grow... that's why Split Tribes fight each other for decades... they all work... BUT... if you want to grow your muscles in a healthy, happy, easy, consistent way without breaking/quitting/overtraining/crashing... Do 3 full body workouts a week...

    I feel like this is just great advice for life in general and can even be applied to something like learning how to give and receive love while maintaining healthy boundaries. Rather than forcing yourself to open up which can lead to a vicious cycle of being dissatisfied or hurt, which builds trust issues, put the effort that you put into being receptive towards listening to your own needs and inner cues. Idk if that resonates with anyone but I was just reading about this and it did with me. Cheers

    Old and seasoned I can relate to this self-sabotage training pattern. Chasing outcomes in lieu of health, trying to out-train some bad habits, and a few times just giving up completely are part of my journey. It wasn't until I could no longer train for a long period due to a cancer surgery and treatment that I changed my attitude and philosophy on strength training. I am now grateful that I "get to strength train" and I will never take that privilege for granted again. Train smart, stay consistent and make sure you fully understand the stress-recovery-adaptation process and how it is the key to your strength journey.

    Hey man, I am a 23 year old calisthenics guy, huge fan of your channel and this video just hits the nail in the spot. I have been obsessive with everything I am passionate about for years and I would always go through the same cycle, grind my ass off, get burnt out after 3-4 months and quit. I repeated this cycle for many years in calisthenics and all of the things I love, I developed many wrist pains while trying to improve my handstand strength as well.
    After watching your channel you helped me learn what life was telling me all along: Sometimes less is more, resting is sometimes more important than actually grinding your ass off, sustainability is more important than just excessive effort that always leads to quitting and burning out.

I think personally, I’ve been struggling with where I want to go and I’ve been forcing things that I feel I should do but I don’t want to actually do. I know my heart lies in certain places and I feel like getting out of my own way is the answer and just having the ability to say, “ah screw it” and just go on with what FEELS right for me is what’s best to do. You only get one shot at it, so why not, right?

If I feel weak I do an easier day. I do different variations to keep things interesting and sometimes I add kettlebell swings and presses when I have the time.
      My numbers have gone up, I have visible abs for the first time at 36 years old and my body feels great. Just focus on keeping your form as good as you can and go until your form breaks down. My plan is to do this every day for 2024 before even thinking about switching things up.
      Hope this helps!

      @@villeharju2207So are you doing different variations in those 5 hard sets or one variation per day?
      I have also switched up my training quite a bit, following Kborges advice. Though I do full body thrice a week. One push, pull and legs exercise, max 2-3 sets.
      I’m enjoying this training style and it’s very time efficient as well.

    I've been reaping this benefit recently. Earlier would have been good, but I'm glad I'm here now. Carrying a basketball and either a kettlebell or heavy club out the door with me in the morning and using them before I get home has increased my consistency. During barbell training I end sets not based on the max I can do that day, but instead based on how much I can recover from over the following 2 days.
