This guy is so friendly he made me wanna go and try doing pull ups at 4 am

[RC]

The background music and crickets make it sound like he's a friendly NPC walking you through a tutorial

[giornogiovanna]

Im so happy he's not like taking off his shirt and every couple minutes he comes to the camera and starts to flex. This guy is just a calm dude explaining stuff like it should be explained

[brianp]

Hampton ya son of a gun. I did it! 44 years old first pull up achieved. Already doing reps.

Thanks man you're the best

[RybergNikolai]

I love this guy, no shirtless, low-fat photoshopped people. Just, flip flops, chirping crickets, majestic long hair, chickens, and the the actual excercise. step by step. He's the Bob Ross of Calisthenics.

[thebktrain]

He is the first instructor i have seen teaching in his backyard wearing flip flops

[TY-uioo]

He’s like a bob ross but for exercises.

[mctrashmonkey]

This guy just interrupted my life in the nicest way possible.

[DopaminedotSeekrcolonthree]

This man is a beacon of friendliness in a world dominated by jerks.

[Jack-sipg]

This is how you encourage people bro. None of those shirtless dudes with designer stubble who talk in yelling.

Keep it up.

So. I am deeply, deeply depressed, have been for the past 15 years of my life, with ups and downs of course, spent a year bedridden fully catatonic and all that jazz.
That being said, for about two months now I have been in another crisis, I sleep almost 20h a day, can't work, can't eat, barely bathe myself, etc.

By watching your videos, right now exactly this moment, I got up and actually moved my body (aka wall pushups). Because I wanted to.( folks who have depression will understand how hard it is to want anything, let alone get up and do it).

Thank you.

Hampton, you son of a gun, I DID IT!!! It took me 11 months, yes, but I followed your progression, stuck with it, and now I can do sets of strict, dead hang pull-ups, and I’m so thankful for your inspiration!!!

[emc]

Hampton you son of a gun, I DID IT! Took 8 months but it felt impossible at first and I've finally made it happen. Thanks for the encouragement!

[RealJackjem]

“Hampton, you sunnova gun, I did it” took me about a month but it was worth it

[brycethoreson]

The world needs more of people like this guy, respectful, understanding, actually wants to help people learn and improve, not judgmental, friendly, knowledgeable.

Dear Hampton, I'm a 66-year-old woman and can't do pull-ups, never could, except maybe when I was a kid, but resigned to never being able to again. Then I saw your video and decided I'm going to try. I tried on the park outdoor pull-up bar, but just immediately crumpled to the ground. But I was inspired by your philosophy of doing a little bit every day. Then I bought gym rings and put them up outside my backdoor. Every time I walk past I step up, grip, step off the stool and drop down. Resigned that's all I'll ever be able to do. At least it gives my back a nice stretch. But soon I found that instead of immediately slipping off, I could hold on for a few seconds. Then 10 seconds. Then 12. Now I feel I can squeeze my shoulder blades together and make a small pulling motion. Will let you know if I ever manage to do one complete pull-up. Maybe in a year.

[SirTobis]

That demeanor and even toned voice instructing me instead of making me feel like I'm lost because I'm overweight. Thank you sir. 46 years old. First pull up was today. Instant subscribe!🤝

Hampton you son of a gun I DID IT!

Took me 2 months of work with a gymnastic ring, jackknife pull ups were really helpful, I'm absolutely ECSTATIC!!! Thank you.

[kianbadian]

Hampton, you son of a gun, I DID IT!!! I recently started bouldering and couldn't even do a single pullup, after 1 month trying your exercises i can finally do 5 in a row, thank you!
