Really liked how you spliced in very short clips of the movements as you were describing them. Really helped to reinforce the form. Your editing is getting really good!
I've only recently discovered your videos. I like the way you present, really informative and in a calm relaxed manner. It's also good to see someone presenting a fitness video who is not covered in ugly tattoos. I'm very happy to have discovered you here. Thank you.
I tried to do that curl today with my highlettes - it didn't work well as the biggest work was done by forearms and lats. Then I watched your video and how simple the answer was - I just chose wrong grip! That's why wrists were fixed and couldn't rotate, that's why forearms worked instead of biceps. Thank you, Daniel!
Fantastic video my friend. My home gym is almost completed now. Got a nice wide and high pull up bar, Great set of bands and an excercise ball. Im about to build a dip/deep push up set out of pvc and I'm looking into gymnasts rings online that will hook to the pull up bar quite easily. I'm going to use adjustable tie down straps so I can set the height for intensity/rep range. It's awesome what you do here and thanks for all the great information!

But how can I effectively implement things like exercises for the front lever (although my core isn't that advanced). I also haven't got room for doing the muscle up. I could do them with rings but for that I probably need the false grip which for me is nearly impossible to hold. Thank you for your help!
Die Saubazis - Clash of Clans your workout routine is similar to mine. 1. are you happy with your progress? or do you feel you need to change your routine? 2. Do you just want to get stronger or do you want to get bigger and more muscular too? I do a lot of the same exercises as you but I try to do higher reps for example : superset 10 chin ups + 15 bodyweight bicep curl or I would also do 5 x chin up +20kg then take off the weight and do as many chin up as I can. I want to to get a little bit stronger but I focus mostly on getting bigger and more size by doing higher reps and higher intensity by having small rest period in between sets I also notice you do a lot of legs.. Maybe you could do one less leg day to fit in other exercises like practicing front lever etc
Andrew C Thanks for the answer :) The problem is that I don't really know if I am doing good or enough progress... I wait till christmas and then I want to do weighted pull ups and dips this should really improve my strength I hope so :^)
For how long have you been training ? Weighted pull and push are not recommended before you got a good experience and strength with your own bodyweight. There is a long way before stagnation with just BW exercises, like every pull-up and push-up variation (if normal pull-ups become too easy, just go with archer pull-up, assisted one-arm pull up, tuck front lever pull up etc), you'll see that you won't want to go weighted too soon. Otherwise, I have the same preoccupation than you, namely incorporating isometric strength exercise in my routine without having too long workout. I think a good way to do it could be working on pull strength the first day , push strength the second day, set and rep of pulling the 3rd, set and reps of pushing the fourth, and adding legs 2 or 3 days a week. That's only my opinion and I look forward to have another advice from somebody more experienced.
Marius hat recht. Ich trainier seit zweieinhalb Jahren Calisthenics und es gibt noch genug Variationen die ich beherrschen muss bevors an weighted Übungen für den Oberkörper geht. Krafttraining ist ein Marathon, kein Sprint! ;)
Thanks man! I have been doing the rings for biceps and triceps and weighted pushups and WOW, what a difference. I feel a serious pump . Thanks for all your videos, they are exceptional!!! Keep up the good work
Hey Daniel, I don't add isolation exercises to my training... Until now, that is. I do believe though, that if you have information about what would be advisable isolation exercises that would be wise additions to typical bodyweight trainings built around push ups, pull ups, rows, dips, squats and their many variations and the usual progressions like handstand, levers, planche... We would all be grateful. The notion of being held back by an imbalance like you mentionned really hits a nerve ;-) Thanks again for the consistency in quality content.

Amazing video as always my brother. Gonna try this tomorrow
I definately use bodyweight bicep curls on rings, the results far surpass anything I ever achieved using barbells and dumbells, I have short muscle bellies and I thought I was doomed to small biceps until I switched over
I know this is a very old comment. But in case you still reply this comment of yours if you don't mind me asking, how often do you do your bodyweight bicep curls? And how many times per week? Thank you in advance.
I'm new to the channel. This is awesome content. Keep up the great work. I really like how you aren't "affected" like many other You-Tubers. You and Matty Fusaro are the real deal. Nice work!
Make a video with prepositions about training so you stay uninjured whole year arround. I always have warmups at begining, stretches after training, while training everything with perfect form and still menage to get as I have right now is bicep tendonitis at proximal part of humerus. Please make a video on that theme with some help tips, thank you and keep up with the good work!
Generally these Rogues Rings are highly recommended www.roguefitness.com/rogue-wood-rings Personally I use these more budget friendly ones from Amazon and am really happy with them www.amazon.com/Diameter-Gymnastics-Rings-Buckle-Straps/dp/B00SAEPY72/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479411402&sr=8-1&keywords=rings+titan
Agree that isolation exercises definitely help. I do dumbbell incline curls and/or these to help with pull up strength and row strength and a lot of trapezius work like parallel bar shrugs to help with handstand work.
Great discussion Daniel. I must admit I was under the impression that compound movement is better when doing bodyweight training, and generally have only done isolation when I realized a sticking point in a certain movement. I will have to have to start implementing this a little more since your results speak volumes. Thanks again
I do some isolation exercises for biceps, the most effective I've found is doing dumbbell 7s (there's probably a more technical/appropriate name): 7 upper half dumbbell curls, 7 lower half, then 7 full dumbbell curls. Kills my arms and definitely increased size. I will try video's workout on my Pellor rings. Thanks! "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." 1 Timothy 4:8
Tried out your biceps workout on the rings this morning and it's great! My arms were burning on the first set! Did four sets of 10 reps. Loved it, gonna add to my routine. Thanks for posting!
About a year and a half ago I started bodyweight training almost exclusively with compound movements. I love the challenge and efficiency of this type of workout since so many muscle groups have to be activated in all workouts. However, I've found that the strength deficit in my left side is holding me back. So weights and isolations have helped me target these specifically.
I do a few isolation exercises, all for just the arms. I don't do any isolation exercises for the legs, besides glute ham raises, but even that's not really an isolation exercise. For my arms I do curls, body weight and dumb bells, and also sphinx push-ups and triceps kickbacks. Other than that my training is focused around barbell movements and bodyweight exercises.
Do you follow a specific workout routine/program or do you change what you do everytime you train? Also, describe your routine if possible. Thanks! You're videos are fantastic! :)
How to train biceps? Just do sphinx pushups/body weight triceps ext in reverse. It is kind of like putting a push-up next to an Australian pull-up. Just move your body further back and arms more forward. Simple.
What isolation exercises do I do to compliment my BEGINNER level bodyweight training? Mostly some dumbbell bicep curls (excited to try the ones you just demonstrated in this video), some back extensions (not sure if true isolation, seems more compound/posterior chain based), some tricep pulldowns, and lots of forearm isolation which helps my obstacle course training. Great video!
That's the third video covering this subject.I like it though cause it makes me and other people remember! What about pelican curls? I've seen Dominik sky doing them from a handstand on rings and it blew my mind!
Came for the biceps lesson, left with a new understanding of how isolation can help my bodyweight training plateaus I've been hitting a lot of lately. Haven't done much isolation, but now thinking I'll start. Any isolation bw exercises for lats? Thanks and keep up the great materials
it is hard to isolate the back but if you really want to target and strengthen your back, do weighted pull upsand try any type of front lever exercise and progression. both dynamic and static like tuck holds, tucked pull ups, front lever raises, elevated leg pull ups. ever since I started my front lever journey I've gained a pretty developed back and achieved a full lever along the way. and I also believe dips can help. good luck.
I'd be doing some resistance band pullovers. "Isolating" the lats, or any muscle group is impossible but doing the above exercise will at least help you connect with the function of the lats.
I wanted to ask, Daniel, if you could please upload a video of max one rep dip. I've been wondering for a while what it might be, having watched the 1 rep chinup and also because i want to see how you might compare to someone like Adam Raw; who is also quite impressive in physique and strength aspects
@@moritzhoffmeister4824 i just pick 1 exercise per body part. My workout goes like this: MONDAY -Bench press 15 sets for 4 to 10 reps (Pause bench for power and from the end of workout, i incorporated pyramid style workout) -Barbell Squat 15 sets for 4 to 10 rep (pause squats is a must for building power) -Side lateral raise 15 sets 8 to 10 reps -Lat pulldown 15 sets to 5 to 10 reps -dips till failure if you can -Barbell curls 15 sets 5 to 10 reps I go heavy as much as possible, and dont forget to breath when exercising. I train smartly, warmup before heavy lifts. On the next day of the work out, you must choose an exercise that was not incorporated the other, so for tuesday, my first workout would be Dumbell shoulder press, because i was using barbell to my limit the other day, using dumbell will have much less tension on the joints on shoulders and elbows then next will be Deadlift, then so on and so forth. Mind you i started full body routine on bodyweight only for 1 month it was painful, then i switched to weights and it became easier. I added 10 lbs(95 lbs) to my 80 lbs pr dumbell incline press 5 reps only for 2 months, my 210 lbs for 5 sky rocketed to 250 lbs for 5 reps. I dont set limits within my body, full body is much more beneficial than split imo, because it trains the whole body and your metabolism spikes, but i dont recommend to use full body workout year round, take a deload after 2 to 3 months of this training annd back to your old routine, you can feel ur strength building up. This has become too long, sorry, its really hard to explain because this topic is so wide.
I really enjoy your videos--thank you! Can you please suggest some body weight exercises that will target the medial deltoid (if there are any)? Thank you!
Where's the best place to make a video about exercising "without weights"? In a gym surrounded by weights of course! Next weeks video is on healthy eating, recorded in a McDonald's restaurant.
Hi, I have a different question but was hoping you could help? Currently I am doing body weight exercises and have recently upped the ante with weights in a back pack whilst I do variations on push-ups. I feel like this has been very beneficial for building strength and mass in my chest. I am also doing lots of handstand push-ups and looking to increase the weight I'm pushing. So, can you suggest variations of handstand push-ups and how I can avoid injury? Recently I was doing 4 sets to failure and on my last set I tweaked a muscle from my neck to the back of shoulder which was very painful to say the least but has now fully healed. Can you help? Thanks!👍🏻
Good video Daniel; as part of a general off-ice work-out for hockey strength and conditioning I particularly work on the VMO, for knee stabilisation by doing Poliquin step-ups. It isn't purely an isolation exercise, but it's the closest way I know to isolate the VMO. Could you recommend other exercises for the VMO (apart from squat/split-squat variations)? Thanks.
Shameless plug of peace and prosperity. Check out www.bodybyrings.com whereby I cover this exercise in depth. To answer your question, I'd focus on the BW bicep curl first. Pelican curls are awesome for eccentric overload and are definitely valuable for more advanced individuals.
If you lower the bar to your waist it becomes harder. I can do 3 sets of 30 at waist height. Which is not good. I’m not strong enough yet to move to higher level.
@FitnessFAQs I know this is an old video but it's difficult finding information on these. I've been training 5 years and wanted to know if you had tried these while hanging vertically from bars/rings? I tried it the other day just out of curiosity and the moment I switched the tension from my lats to my biceps, it felt like my arms were gonna rip out of their sockets. It spooked me but also made me incredibly curious if it's possible to perform some form of pull up with these or if it's too much load for the biceps and is dangerous.
Seeing continuous strength improvement via tricep extensions that translate into compound movements where heavy stress is placed on the elbow. I'm testing body weight solutions for a tricep size imbalance I'm currently having problems with. Do you incorporate unilateral exercises into your isolation movements?
Question...I have access to a barbell, and rings, barbell is easier to program and set up, is it just as effective? Same with triceps? BTW, I do everything else with calisthenics.
Really liked how you spliced in very short clips of the movements as you were describing them. Really helped to reinforce the form. Your editing is getting really good!
I'm stepping up my production moving forward.
Always Daniel with the QUALITY and 100% truth and knowledge. Best likes to dislikes I've ever seen on a freshly released video. Thumbs UP.
I've only recently discovered your videos. I like the way you present, really informative and in a calm relaxed manner. It's also good to see someone presenting a fitness video who is not covered in ugly tattoos. I'm very happy to have discovered you here. Thank you.
You've gotten huge man
Yes, I do. As finishers/at the end/after compounds. Triceps extensions (rings), biceps curls (rings), dead hang
I tried to do that curl today with my highlettes - it didn't work well as the biggest work was done by forearms and lats. Then I watched your video and how simple the answer was - I just chose wrong grip! That's why wrists were fixed and couldn't rotate, that's why forearms worked instead of biceps. Thank you, Daniel!
great points! some think isolation work is strictly for vanity and as you stated it certainly is not!
0:23 that form! Also straight arm work for them swole biceps? Seems to work for me
You will never get these biceps young man.
3:24 THAT form!

Since you're practically performing full body weight curls with the rings, I was wondering...
Can you do an 'elevator', the inverted muscle up?
Do you follow a specific workout routine/program or do you change what you do everytime you train? Also, describe your routine if possible. Thanks! You're videos are fantastic! :)
Instead of using a straight bar for curls.....what about using a curl bar attached to a smith machine ..so various grips can be used??
Use a false grip to blaze your muscles

That's the third video covering this subject.I like it though cause it makes me and other people remember! What about pelican curls? I've seen Dominik sky doing them from a handstand on rings and it blew my mind!
Came for the biceps lesson, left with a new understanding of how isolation can help my bodyweight training plateaus I've been hitting a lot of lately. Haven't done much isolation, but now thinking I'll start. Any isolation bw exercises for lats? Thanks and keep up the great materials
it is hard to isolate the back but if you really want to target and strengthen your back, do weighted pull upsand try any type of front lever exercise and progression. both dynamic and static like tuck holds, tucked pull ups, front lever raises, elevated leg pull ups. ever since I started my front lever journey I've gained a pretty developed back and achieved a full lever along the way. and I also believe dips can help. good luck.
I'd be doing some resistance band pullovers. "Isolating" the lats, or any muscle group is impossible but doing the above exercise will at least help you connect with the function of the lats.
I wanted to ask, Daniel, if you could please upload a video of max one rep dip. I've been wondering for a while what it might be, having watched the 1 rep chinup and also because i want to see how you might compare to someone like Adam Raw; who is also quite impressive in physique and strength aspects
How many times a week do you train and how long for each session?
4life Fitness for Life lifestyle every f*** day of your life💪💪💪💪💪
I workout full body 6 days a week, and I made massive gains
@@swanabangan7885 can you share your workout routine?
@@moritzhoffmeister4824 i just pick 1 exercise per body part. My workout goes like this:
MONDAY
-Bench press 15 sets for 4 to 10 reps (Pause bench for power and from the end of workout, i incorporated pyramid style workout)
-Barbell Squat 15 sets for 4 to 10 rep (pause squats is a must for building power)
-Side lateral raise 15 sets 8 to 10 reps
-Lat pulldown 15 sets to 5 to 10 reps
-dips till failure if you can
-Barbell curls 15 sets 5 to 10 reps
I go heavy as much as possible, and dont forget to breath when exercising. I train smartly, warmup before heavy lifts. On the next day of the work out, you must choose an exercise that was not incorporated the other, so for tuesday, my first workout would be Dumbell shoulder press, because i was using barbell to my limit the other day, using dumbell will have much less tension on the joints on shoulders and elbows then next will be Deadlift, then so on and so forth. Mind you i started full body routine on bodyweight only for 1 month it was painful, then i switched to weights and it became easier. I added 10 lbs(95 lbs) to my 80 lbs pr dumbell incline press 5 reps only for 2 months, my 210 lbs for 5 sky rocketed to 250 lbs for 5 reps.
I dont set limits within my body, full body is much more beneficial than split imo, because it trains the whole body and your metabolism spikes, but i dont recommend to use full body workout year round, take a deload after 2 to 3 months of this training annd back to your old routine, you can feel ur strength building up. This has become too long, sorry, its really hard to explain because this topic is so wide.
@@moritzhoffmeister4824il advice you to search Jeff Nippard on youtube, he has some great workout routine and advice on everyday full body workout.
i will put that on my routine
Thanks Daniel
I really enjoy your videos--thank you! Can you please suggest some body weight exercises that will target the medial deltoid (if there are any)? Thank you!
Where's the best place to make a video about exercising "without weights"? In a gym surrounded by weights of course! Next weeks video is on healthy eating, recorded in a McDonald's restaurant.
Excellent!
You need rolling handles for this one, or false grip.
excelentes videos, saludos desde Chile : )
Excellent!!!!
Thank you Daniel... i am experiencing shoulder issues. What are done good bench press substitutes.
Hi, I have a different question but was hoping you could help? Currently I am doing body weight exercises and have recently upped the ante with weights in a back pack whilst I do variations on push-ups. I feel like this has been very beneficial for building strength and mass in my chest. I am also doing lots of handstand push-ups and looking to increase the weight I'm pushing. So, can you suggest variations of handstand push-ups and how I can avoid injury? Recently I was doing 4 sets to failure and on my last set I tweaked a muscle from my neck to the back of shoulder which was very painful to say the least but has now fully healed. Can you help? Thanks!👍🏻
Sweet video
Good video Daniel; as part of a general off-ice work-out for hockey strength and conditioning I particularly work on the VMO, for knee stabilisation by doing Poliquin step-ups. It isn't purely an isolation exercise, but it's the closest way I know to isolate the VMO. Could you recommend other exercises for the VMO (apart from squat/split-squat variations)? Thanks.
Research conclusively indicates VMO can't be isolated, it works in conjunction with the entire quadriceps group.
Good to know; thanks!
what about pelican curls? are the benefits the same?
I hope Daniel answers your question !
I wouldn't try those as a beginner. Jumping into such a tough gymnastics skill too early is bound to cause injury.
Shameless plug of peace and prosperity. Check out www.bodybyrings.com whereby I cover this exercise in depth. To answer your question, I'd focus on the BW bicep curl first. Pelican curls are awesome for eccentric overload and are definitely valuable for more advanced individuals.
So does keeping the feet elevated while doing this exercise help to increase tension in the biceps or not?
i'm so happy when i never see dislike !
my left half of body feels weaker than the right . Can you show some exercise variations to achieve equal strength on both sides.. Thanks
If you lower the bar to your waist it becomes harder. I can do 3 sets of 30 at waist height. Which is not good. I’m not strong enough yet to move to higher level.
Thankyou bro
I do isolate my calves/shins. I'm not sure any compound strength exercises hit those areas properly (except plyometrics).
Very effective
could you suggest a good excericise for inner part of upper chest
0:38 biceps curl on gymnastic rings for greater freedom of movement
so what's the difference between pelican curls and bicep curls
thanks man
@FitnessFAQs I know this is an old video but it's difficult finding information on these. I've been training 5 years and wanted to know if you had tried these while hanging vertically from bars/rings? I tried it the other day just out of curiosity and the moment I switched the tension from my lats to my biceps, it felt like my arms were gonna rip out of their sockets. It spooked me but also made me incredibly curious if it's possible to perform some form of pull up with these or if it's too much load for the biceps and is dangerous.
Seeing continuous strength improvement via tricep extensions that translate into compound movements where heavy stress is placed on the elbow. I'm testing body weight solutions for a tricep size imbalance I'm currently having problems with. Do you incorporate unilateral exercises into your isolation movements?
reps and sets?
would you recommend a push pull legs or an upper lower split
how much do u weight daniel?and when did ya start trajning?
btw why did u stop ur plenche journey?
Question...I have access to a barbell, and rings, barbell is easier to program and set up, is it just as effective? Same with triceps? BTW, I do everything else with calisthenics.
In terms of scapular retraction & depression, what would you advice for this exc. ? Thnx
Can you use bedsheets instead of gymnast rings
I love daniel
