Appreciate the opportunity to educate your audience Hampton. I have no doubt everyone can transform their physique with time and consistency. Train hard legends 👊

[RiccardoPearlman]

Came to recently learn that Mike Tyson had never lifted a weight until his prison time. His OG physique was all calisthenics and insane rep counts.

[aymex]

Eat well
Use compound movement and isolate if needed
Train hard near muscular failure
Rep range : 6-15
Sets : 3-5 sets per exercise
Rest : 2-5 mins
Stay consistent and enjoy results of hard work!

Calisthenics has really helped me in my journey. I havent come a long way but progress is key. I started at under 110 lbs now im just 130 lbs. Hopefully I can hit 150 sometime next year 😁

[sigmafx]

Calisthenics have fully transformed my life. Ive been doing calisthenics 3x a week and i'm in the best shape of my life. I look better, have better endurance, have better cardio, way stronger back then i would do rows because i cant do pull ups now im doing assisted muscle ups. If body building isnt for you try calisthenics

[thegotdamnuhtheuhhh]

Hey Hampton, just wanted to thank you man.
You really helped me a lot, I went from being able to do only 7 push-ups, to doing 20 in a row without getting tired. I'm also starting to notice a small but noticeable change in my chest, shoulders, and torso, all thanks to your video tutorials. Thank you for being friendly and inspiring to other people!

[retardhorse]

i love how the calisthenics guys on youtube are friends now. that's wholesome

[nathanpgraves]

I have been watching FitnessFAQs for years, what a wealth of knowledge. Great to see this podcast

[Je]

It's great to see you guys collab. Been watching fitnessfaq for years, and it's crazy to see how much he has grown.

[BadAtGaming]

I did calisthenics when I was deployed. Loved how I was getting stronger but I wasn’t focusing on weights as they were always in use. Also loved the fact it can be done in far more areas than just a gym floor

[eddysonbunardi]

thank to both of you. what i found most incredible in my journey is my posture + my back doesn't hurt everyday, the BEST PART i can eat like usually i did but my weight still the same even reduce 4-5kg AMAZING.
using bodyweight is incredible and suit my lifestyle. can do anywhere, anytime, good for my wallet (only buy resistance band, pullup ring and bar. will use it till that break)
my main goal is fit til the end, so after retiring i still can travel all around the world. so guys make your realistic goal first then just do it, you will be amazed. you don't need to compare your physique to other especially fake fitness guru out there. your body, your process, your goal and 100% you will find happiness that way!

I really appreciate the note Daniel made about the neurological development in the 1-5 rep range. I've been taking it slow since I started almost a year ago, although I workout 5/week. But I know I don't do a lot of reps or sets usually, because it doesn't serve the purpose I have right now, which has been to fortify my body and learn how to protect and control my movement in all shapes and directions. I don't go above that in sets, until my body and mind no longer have questions about the movement, if that makes sense.

Considering my goal each day is to live in a body that doesn't hurt and that feels lithe and strong... it's been a winner for me. Largely thanks to Daniel! Cheers ✌️

[OriZilbershtein]

Hampton always drops the most practical advice, thanks dude. Also featuring FitnessFAQs is great, quality collab.

[ctashi]

I've been doing calisthenics for like 5 months now! I've noticed a change but not a big one.
My triceps is more defined. My arm is bigger and it's great!

[evelynorta]

Wow, that was very interesting and helpful for me because my goal is to build more muscle with calesthenics but also improve my mobility. Thanks Hampton!

[wesidemaufaka]

He went from calling himself a friend to a brother. Now I feel like this: 🥰

[bobsimpson]

I'm currently on week two of body by rings and I LOVE IT!

[itspoint]

After a year of exercise I went for my first spar today and I had a lot of fun! I wouldn't be here without your content, Hampton. Thank you 😌♥️🙌

[sean.momentum]

It's funny that even at my 12th year of training

I've found that bodyweight training has started to make more sense to me now

That's after 12 years of competing in bodybuilding/powerlifting and olympic weightlifting

Now I'm feeling less aches, pains and seeing more changes in my body.

Thanks for this podcast team
