how to be damage resistant (part 2)

[HybridCalisthenics]

For clarity, here are the points:

1.) Power exercises - clapping pushups, jumps, plyometrics etc. Even Olympic weightlifting, if that's your jam! These expose your body to higher forces than just the weight used. For example, imagine jumping up and down on a weight scale. The maximum weight you see will be much higher than your actual weight when standing still! This is a good thing to prepare for, since these sudden high forces happen throughout our lives. Say... if someone suddenly pushes us (hopefully on accident!)

2.) Speed - While some might question the adaption that occurs from the above point, also consider that the power exercises may help your speed, coordination, and reflexes. These help you minimize damage even after impact has occurred! Think about "rolling" with a punch. Alternatively, maybe you can stop the damage entirely if you're fast enough! This could be anything from ducking away from a punch to moving your car away from a potential accident (stay safe!)

3.) Isometrics - our ability to strategically generate tension can majorly help reduce damage! Consider someone punching you in the stomach. Would you want to brace your abs or be relaxed? While resistance training in general can help with this, some people may want to explore overcoming isometrics (or high force isometrics if you don't like that phrase). Simply push or pull against something you can't move and hold for time!

Have a wonderful day!

I like this guy, hes like water, he flows through the environment and he's so informative, he teaches us things that we never knew.

[CaseyRA]

The "Have a beautiful day." always makes me smile. So refreshing to see such positivity.

We need a Hampton and David (MovementByDavid) collab pls!

[TheKyleFyles]

I love how you're really informative and really endearing at the same time. You inspired me to see what my body is capable of. Thank you, Hampton 🧡

Hampton: “who put this here?”

God: “My bad G”

I always have to watch these twice, because I get distracted the first time by all the cool stuff he's doing

[sallysally]

You really look damage-proof in this one 😂
Love your work, thank you for everything you are ❤

[Brightside]

I've just been punching trees like a main character in a boxing themed anime

[benny]

Thank you, brother, I needed to see you using your FULL unbridled potential to better understand my own physical limitations and abilities. You are forever the vindicator (by second definition) of all positive feelings associated with exorcises.

I love your videos and the focus of your work. Your ideas are truly available to almost everyone, even people who are older and/or disabled or have injuries. Others pay lip service to this. I just can't overstate how important your concepts are. You help people maximize the control over their physical health. And aging people, especially, need to retain their strength to from injury/falls. I am a huge fan.

[Laura-klvi]

Thank you for being you. Your content and presentation could truly help millions realize that, with no output of money at all, they can maximize control over their physical health. They may never be able to do what you can do in your shorts, but your longer videos make clear this is accessible to anyone, as you show us. I wonder if you might do some shorts with people of varying abilities so people less strong than you can see what you can do, and also get your teaching that anyone can do it (by the other person-perhaps female or older or whoever). You would do your thing too. People are posting who've only seen your shorts. I think you do well, your shorts made me go to your longer videos but maybe a couple times do the shorts along with someone doing the modifications. Anyway, regardless, as I said...I'm a huge fan. You will help me age gracefully and strong. Your message is "do what you can and you can get stronger w/o hurting yourself, even prevent injury". I take it to heart. I promise you, we do NOT get this message elsewhere in the way that is nearly as clear as you are.

Skateboarding, surfing, and parkour help lots of this naturally as well.

ion know why but this man an inspiration, love this guy, most wholesome energy

[MagnusPeccatori]

When I was a kid I used to purposefully fall on the floor and throw myself against walls. Also learned how to absorb falls by rolling. That stuff made me ridiculously damage resistant

[MyronTatePearl]

The most wholesome fitness on the internet, thanks so much brother!

[razorstorm]

Bro your literally god sent. Keep up the good work!! 🎉❤😄😃

[Kisskissxoxo]

You’re like on of my biggest motivator! Thank you so much for your awesome content! It’s really helped me a lot! I look forward to see what your going to do next!❤

[SJoe]

Isometric exercises have really helped me before with injured ligaments, and still do

[robinbroadwater]

I would LOVE to see you destroy the course on, "American Ninja Warrior."
Your level of fitness and agility would probably make that competition into a cakewalk.

I have been inspired everytime that I have seen one of your videos.
