    You all are extremely dedicated. I usually try to answer the first several comments I get, but I was making the thumbnail. By the time I finished, I was already way behind! Answering those messages now. Thank you so much for being your wonderful selves.
    I had a great time making this video. The past few weeks I've had energy but just haven't been inspired as much. I started cycling my coffee properly again and I'm back on the wagon. The metaphorical wagon. Maybe an actual wagon as well. They're handy. We'll see.
    I will be trying HARD to get the app content finished this week, so keep an eye out for it soon! If there's a small delay in content, that's why! Love you all!

    I really appreciate the fact that you don't just do crazy exercises like "It's easy! Just do it!" Go you for being able to understand and teach for body types that aren't yours, and for people with mobility issues that you don't have. That is some powerful empathy. You are a good and wise teacher.

      Yep. My ankles haven't been flexible enough...ever? I didn't discover it until my late teens.
      Raised heels works, or holding a weight out in front of me to counterbalance.
      Edit: the calf raises did not work for me, at least not for the year or so I tried them. (I did this prior to watching Hampton's video.) Gradually lowering the height of my raised heel seemed to extend my range of motion a little bit? But eventually I decided that it just wasn't a priority.

      This is good advice in general, not just for exercises like this but general rehab for injuries etc. If you can do variations that are assisted and/or with limited range of motion but are pain free, then you can use that a way to build up the strength and range of motion over time.

      I agree about knees over toes guy. He has a book called Knee Ability Zero (in this case the "zero" means no equipment) which is a fairly cheap way to start off his main knee program. One thing that is nice about it is it has progressions for each exercise, similar to how this video is structured.

      3. Once the picture is clear/sharp, switch to manual focus.
      So long as you stand more or less in the same area, you will always be in focus and you camera will never try and focus on anything else.

    I know, because I am one of those people. I was very fat (135 kgs) but now just fat (120 kgs). I had a very bad hunchback but now it's better thanks to your posture video. I also couldn't do a normal squat and now I almost can do a full deep squat without raising my heels.
    Before that, I mean before your videos, I was hopeless and suicidal. I tried to kill myself two times. Once with overdosing and once with hanging. But thanks to your videos I finally saw hope. Thanks to your videos and to your beautiful personality. Never change, Hampton.

    'The Hamptons' is really just a place where there are lots and lots of Hampton's hanging out, being really nice and kind, greeting each other
    "Hello my brother Hampton!"
    "Why hello brother Hampton!"
    "And look over there it's our other brother Hampton!"
    "Say Hampton, would you be interested in doing some push ups with me?"
    "Why yes I would Hampton, what about our other brother, Hampton?"
    "Ahh thankyou for the invitation, however I must go check on my plants, and sing to them, incase they are lonely"
    This is why the Hamptons is so expensive to visit or stay at, it's so goddarn nice!!

    For anyone discouraged with their workouts... Just focus on working out as well as you can for a week. Then the following week just try to improve slightly from the previous week. Continue that trend week after week, and as long as you're slightly improving each week, you'll notice a massive difference after a year. It's all about small improvements that add up over a long period of time. Just don't quit.

      That was my approach. I was highly motivated by this channel as he normalized starting veeeery low. I am on my push up journey and started with literally 1 wall push up. The next day I did to. The day after 3. When I started to get sore muscles I simply rested a day and then continued. Currently I'm at 3x20 inclined push ups from mid thigh hight.
      My goal is to doba regular push up by the end of the year, so plenty of time to get there.
      Kepp going slow, but steadily. This mind set was a game changer as it keeps motivating me, unlike all other approaches that just made me feel weak and discouraged.

    Thank you so much for making this video! I've been dealing with gouty arthritis in my feet for years and never would have imagined I could squat again. Most videos about squats inly focus on form or breaking parallel, but your instruction on how to stretch the ankles and getting used to the squatting motion have helped tremendously. I've been incorporating the assisted squats and Jack knife squats into my daily routine and a month later I've finally done my first full body weight squat in over 5 years. Keep up the great work and good vibes!
