Great job! inspires me because i want to join the Honor guard in my school. Ive been increasing my pushups by 1 each day. Ive went from 25 to 37 in a week and a few days. I need to get it up to 50, any tips on a quick build up because my main goal is to build stanima for push ups.
@ThePilotBuddy I am in the Army, and the advice I have gotten from my SGTs has been to do as many as you can do until you can not even lift your self up then try to do one more, if you repeat that a few times a day you will see an increase...it will be tough to try to increase by 1 push up each day, bc sometimes you will have good days where u increase by a lot and other days where you plateau. Good Luck
if i run 1km +50 situps everyday and pushups every other day, how long will it take for me to see results and what about diet to maximise losing fat and building muscle
hi, if i run 1km + 50 situps everyday, 30 pushups every other day, when will i see results and how shall i eat to maximise fat-loss muscle-build effect.
I went on a RAF Regiment physical training course for 3 days, that was the most challenging thing I've done physical. When I got home I slept for over 24 hours and couldn't walk up my stairs for 2 weeks because my leg muscles were so sore.
great video , gotta question , do u take any products to get ripped? i know nutricion working out but besides the esential do u take anything else ? im trying to find a nice product to get cut thanks!

Hey lads, I was wondering something, I am about to start at a spinning team to get rid of the extra bodyfat, my bodyfat level is around 17% at the moment, what I want to know is shall I combine spinning with pearnomores training that he is selling on his webbie, I mean so I dont lose my muscle mass while burning the fat.
i can do 2 push ups per second and my max is like 76 -90, i dunno if it really firms your chests or not cus the only thing thats getting bigger are my shoulders and fore arms
i can do 60 in 60 seconds..form gets sloppy about 50 seconds in though lol..never tried 2 mins and i dont think i have the endurance to lol..least im honest anyway.
I have a workout and need help with it to see if its good or not, why and why not, can anyone please help me, if you can just send me a message or comment or such that would be great if you know what your talking about :D
Thanks for these videos Reuben. Lots of helpful, important information that lots of people don't give out. I'm going to start working out differently and apply these things when the muscles around my elbow recover. Right now when I extend it, it feels like it does when I get a shot in a vein there.
the last thing !!!i i didnt know that. and i am litle worried about,ive been training last summer,for 2 weeks without break,then i wasnt doing anything 1 day, again,then i "got lazy" ,doing it but had 2 days to break,so im asking a question now,that wasnt good thing? or was,i mean,my body recovered now,i can start doin' it again,but with these tips,with rest of 2 days response to me,tnx
btw,i was doing pull ups, and push ups,many variations. i need excercises for my butt,have small ass,help :P
I've been doing pushups for a few months to build my arm and chest strength and I felt like I hit a wall. The way you show how to position your body properly makes it feel like minimun effort with maximum results. I'm doing about 60 pushups in 2 minutes and I've got a long way go but thanks for the video it is a tremendous help.
what id do is to focus on pushups, do them in 10 s revolutions, so u can do like 20 or so and do that every second day,
before that you should jog on the treadmill maximum up for 18 minutes, the next minute you should start to sprint, and sprint the complete last minute. Then do the epileptical trainer like powerwalking, that loosen your shoulders, then do 2-3 rounds of slow and PERFECT pushups, do them perfect, it is better... that is a good warm up an for me ,in instesform a work out
heres how a workout no matter what type if you use weights and/or machines should be scheduled.
top priortity- devote one day a week to minimal physical effort with the exception of stretching 3x. it also gives you body a little time to concentrate on repair which make all the difference between good health as needing physical therapy later.
with an even number of days in the week now, alternate everyday between cardio and whatever you concentrate on (sport, weightroom stuff, ect.)
@gulbag123 Nope, however it does contribute to it, what causes that deep pain is actually micro tears in your muscles. But don't worry, you have to break down muscle in order for it to come back bigger and stronger, kinda an insurance policy for you'r muscles so it don't happen next time :)
I have a question. I'm enlisted in the U.S. Army and leave for basic training in about 6 months. As anyone could guess, you have to do plenty of physical exercise daily. I've often heard people who've been through BCT say that "The Drill Sergeants will kick your ass into shape." (to meet fitness standards)
So my question is this. In a military training situation involving daily training of the same muscles, ie pushups, how do people still manage to improve despite supposedly inadequate rest?
they are trying to get your body use to the constant physical challenges you will endure while on the battlefield, but rest is required if lets say you were trying to gain muscle i'm not entirely sure if its to get stronger because eventually your body will adjust
since fitness completely changed my outlook on life and my sense of value, I actually think the military doesn't care if you're fit. In fact, they prefer mentally malleable people to shape into the perfect repeater of their routine, IE Forest Gump.
HOWEVER, the benefit of the physical training is that pack animals like humans bond under routine, pressure and observation of performance. It's the only way to subconsciously build a team. So just get through.
Sorry, my earlier response didn't quite nail it. What's more important than your fitness for battle is that you participate intensely so your teammates can tell you're going to pull your weight. You don't have to be the best, but you should give it all you've got. They want to bond you guys as a team, and show you how great it feels to get stronger than you WERE. You'll all bond and that is essential to teambuilding. That equals combat survival. Period.
u dont improve at basic training. they break u down for the harder physical training of AIT, where you'll have plenty of rest cuz its school. i went from 90 pushups in 2 minutes to 52. you'll be a runner for sure XD trust me, ive been there. hooah. at BCT we P.T. for 3 hours and we run EVERYWHERE! at AIT we have 1 hour P.T sessions and run long distances
i'm just starting out, but i basicly refuse to become a calorie-obsessive amature nutritionist over it...
i know i need plenty of protein... and i know i shouldnt constantly eat the same things... so as basic as possible, i'd like to be pointed in the right direction, and google is driving me crazy - everybody has different answers.... so is it basicly protein and low fat or what?
well, if your trying to gain muscle, its all 3, but you wont to be lower on fat when your bulking up. If your burning fat that increase the fat uptake and decrease the carbs, protein always stays the same.
Depends on goals and your starting point, everyone person will not need the same things. People who are bodybuilding need different things than athletes in other fields. Certainly smaller, more frequent meals are necessary, each with good nutrients.. but beyond that it's impossible to recommend anything without a starting weight, gender, height, current fitness level, goals, and training ability.
Because you say you should wait a minimum on 48 hrs before retraining a particular muscle group, is it a bad idea to say, do chest and back (which also use biceps and tris) say monday, and then do arms and shoulders on wednesday, which may not be necessarily 48hrs later?
work abs into your workout, or go lightweight on back for 2 days of your workout, like just do warmup weight for your sets, and then you should be fine on the 3rd day of back
Hey i have a question.. So um if i do calisthenics everyday is that bad for me and does that mean i wont improve? Like push ups, sit ups, squats, pull ups etc... if i do those everyday then i wont get better at them even if im not sore the 2nd day of rest? i dont want to wait 3 days without doin it again thats too long
it would be only 24 hours 1 day of rest for that muscle if u keep workin it before that u will get scare tissue and u will still build muscle but at a way slower rate or strane the muscle because u are not letin it rest
Hey reuben, my chest is pretty strong however it's not nearly defined as i'd like it to be. I do cardio few times a week,(running up hill)eat pretty well and do chest once a week, how do i get a real ripped chest like you for example? Is it heaps of cardio and a very strict diet? How do you do it?
I got a question. I know that I need to rest my muscles 48 hours after training. But is it okay to swim the day after working on biceps? In other words is it ok to follow up a high intensity/low rep workout with a low intensity/high rep workout within 24 hours?
one question my english is very bad but if someone can answer me thanks i have 16 years and i train all days my arms like 40 minutes and abs 30 minutes but i dont stop 48 hours betewn the exercises im doing it bad?? great videos thanks
Just track your results. If you're getting good results then you're fine. If not then you should try something else - look at Reuben's website for suggestions.
One thing I would recommend though is working your whole body, instead of just arms and abs.
Hey man you need to let your mucles recover for at least 24 hours after using them, otherwise you may risk over training. If you train muscles too much there not goin to have time to grow any bigger :)
ye this depends if your newer to the gym like if uve been for like over 10 years you will be used to going like 7 times a week but if your newer your body wotnt be used to the strain on your muscles
EVeryone is different people, fuck, find the routine thats right for you and build off of that. My friends cousin who just beat 3 power lifting world records IN MY HOMETOWN YEA, works out probably 4 hours a day, and 5-6 days a week. This may be considered over working to some but with the proper nutrition and rest it can be a perfect routine. I think anyone can excercise 6 days a week if they just work up to it. EVERYTHING requires training.
Lifting stones for your employer you are "weight training", however when we lift in the gym we are doing it in a more focused way, which is why we get different results. We can lift stones for the boss everyday and we rest at night. No one tells the boss I can only work for you every other day. So the same proves true when you train everyday in the gym and since we are only doing 1-2 sets per body part we are able to train the entire body without getting too tired.
I see your analogy of working to lifting weights, but even if your job was to lift weights 6 or 7 days a week, you would either overtrain or you wouldn't get very big/strong for reasons I already mentioned.
In some elite athletes, it can take a month to add 5 pounds to their squat. They have meticulously placed light, medium, and heavy days throughout the month. It is very COMPLEX. The more advanced you are, the more complex your training needs to be to keep gains coming.
I am not concerned with words/terms such as: genetics or overtraining
Remember, I am only suggesting you go to complete failure with 1-2 sets, but do the entire body each day and rest well at night. remember, reading a book in the evening in a soft chair adds to your rest amounts. Plus, never PAUSE at the top or bottom of each rep. Sometimes use less weight and make your set last several minutes and other times just do 2 reps, then 20 reps on the 2nd set.
Overtraining as in you work beyond your ability to recover within a normal amount of time. It is Selye's last stage of adaption, known as "exhaustion".
Anyway, this isn't really going anywhere. I think we can both agree with what DrDoobs420 said.
I am not suggesting "complete physical exhaustion" as you describe "overtraining", but just going to complete failure for 1-2 sets per bodypart. Example: Legs = no more than 6 total sets Arms = 6 total sets Then rest as long between sets as you feel comfortable with. Do the entire body each day, for 6 days in a row. YOu can change exercises and the number of reps/weight used, just go to failure. I also suggest zero pause at the top/bottom of each rep. Tuff yes, but not overtraining.
Well if it works for you then great. All I was suggesting was what works for most people at a given level based on what I've read from coaches who have a lot of experience.
I'm not trying to tell you that there is a best way to train. If what you say works well for you and you like the results, then by all means do it.
I am not saying other methods do not work, of course they work. There are countless ways to train that will get results, however I want to open the door that there is a system which does not require 48 hours of rest. So, would you ever, just once in your life, consider trying the system I outlined for 2 weeks, just to see how it feels? (just 2 short weeks out of your entire life????)
Couldn't agree with what he said more! Just because you're sore doesn't mean you can't workout again. 3-5 days is plenty of recovery time for the average individual assuming an average workload, good nutrition and enough quality sleep. More advanced people with higher work capacities may (although rarely) need more than 5 days.
By the way, can anybody tell me the song name from 3:00 to 5:00? Thanks
You can do all of your resting at night, when you are asleep, then work the entire body again the next day, for a total of 6 days in a row. Just do less sets per bodypart, 1-2 intense sets is plenty!
You may get some results that way, but I doubt that is optimal for many, if any people. For the low-volume, high-frequency individuals you talk about, working all muscles 3x a week usually works best. For normal people, working each muscle 2x a week usually works best. For advanced and/or gifted people, each muscle every 5 days or so usually works best.
Beginner or advanced, it doesn't matter, go to complete total failure for 1-2 sets per body part, then rest over night, that's enough rest. Forget what Joe Weider says about training each body part no more than 3 times per week. Mailmepizza, misunderstood me, lighting weight is like lifting rocks = work, however it's just in a more focused way. Weights = rocks = weights. Lift them and you will get bigger. We all have the SAME GENETICS, except that some people are stronger than others.
Your view is just too simplistic. There is a BIG difference between doing 2 sets every day for a week and doing 7 sets twice a week. Both add up to 14 total sets per week, but they do not produce the same training effect. If a more advanced trainee isn't continually doing more in his workouts (which will eventually add up to a very high volume within a workout), then he's not growing.
People do NOT have the same genetics. Everyone responds to different training parameters in different ways.
You made good points, however if you go to failure on each set you will continue to progress and yes this is a simple system, but nowhere is it written in stone that a systems needs to be complex. Just add more weight when you feel the reps are too high.
True, when it comes to strength people have different genetics, but that's it. All of can "recover" while we sleep. Why? As I said several times, weight lifting = work, just in a more focused way.
Some training systems aren't complex just for the sake of being complex. They demand complexity. If it were as simple as you say, weightlifting coaches and strength and conditioning coaches for NFL and other professional sports teams wouldn't have a job.
I'm not saying everyone seeks the level of fitness that a professional athlete has. What I'm saying is that doing a small volume 7 days a week will not be enough to precipitate gains for very long. Large volumes/intensities are needed.
Keep in mind that any routine will get a beginner some results. But the more intensity and volume that is used, the more rest that is needed. The more advanced a trainee becomes or the better his genetics are, the more intensity and volume will be necessary for more muscle/strength growth.
Imo if you want to work 6 days a week and then rest, get a job. Lifting weights shouldn't be looked at as working, because it is optional for most people (pro athletes aside).
Excuse me, I said that people with great genetics may need to work harder to get results. Some people may misinterpret that.
What I meant is that people with better genetics have a higher work capacity, meaning they have a higher tolerance for large workloads (lots of intensity and/or volume) within a workout. The more volume/intensity they can handle, the more rest they will need.
Btw, thank you to the people who answered my question about the song.

since fitness completely changed my outlook on life and my sense of value, I actually think the military doesn't care if you're fit. In fact, they prefer mentally malleable people to shape into the perfect repeater of their routine, IE Forest Gump.
HOWEVER, the benefit of the physical training is that pack animals like humans bond under routine, pressure and observation of performance. It's the only way to subconsciously build a team. So just get through.

Sorry, my earlier response didn't quite nail it. What's more important than your fitness for battle is that you participate intensely so your teammates can tell you're going to pull your weight. You don't have to be the best, but you should give it all you've got. They want to bond you guys as a team, and show you how great it feels to get stronger than you WERE. You'll all bond and that is essential to teambuilding. That equals combat survival. Period.

u dont improve at basic training. they break u down for the harder physical training of AIT, where you'll have plenty of rest cuz its school. i went from 90 pushups in 2 minutes to 52. you'll be a runner for sure XD trust me, ive been there. hooah. at BCT we P.T. for 3 hours and we run EVERYWHERE! at AIT we have 1 hour P.T sessions and run long distances

BoxFreshNikes 2 years ago 59
so by eating right, you mean.. what exactly?
i'm just starting out, but i basicly refuse to become a calorie-obsessive amature nutritionist over it...
i know i need plenty of protein... and i know i shouldnt constantly eat the same things... so as basic as possible, i'd like to be pointed in the right direction, and google is driving me crazy - everybody has different answers.... so is it basicly protein and low fat or what?
toriyamaZ 2 years ago
well, if your trying to gain muscle, its all 3, but you wont to be lower on fat when your bulking up. If your burning fat that increase the fat uptake and decrease the carbs, protein always stays the same.
proslayar 2 years ago
Depends on goals and your starting point, everyone person will not need the same things. People who are bodybuilding need different things than athletes in other fields. Certainly smaller, more frequent meals are necessary, each with good nutrients.. but beyond that it's impossible to recommend anything without a starting weight, gender, height, current fitness level, goals, and training ability.

Because you say you should wait a minimum on 48 hrs before retraining a particular muscle group, is it a bad idea to say, do chest and back (which also use biceps and tris) say monday, and then do arms and shoulders on wednesday, which may not be necessarily 48hrs later?

work abs into your workout, or go lightweight on back for 2 days of your workout, like just do warmup weight for your sets, and then you should be fine on the 3rd day of back

Hey i have a question.. So um if i do calisthenics everyday is that bad for me and does that mean i wont improve? Like push ups, sit ups, squats, pull ups etc... if i do those everyday then i wont get better at them even if im not sore the 2nd day of rest? i dont want to wait 3 days without doin it again thats too long

Calisthenics and resistance training are two entirely different methods of training, this video is aimed at resistance training.

Hey reuben, my chest is pretty strong however it's not nearly defined as i'd like it to be. I do cardio few times a week,(running up hill)eat pretty well and do chest once a week, how do i get a real ripped chest like you for example? Is it heaps of cardio and a very strict diet? How do you do it?

I got a question. I know that I need to rest my muscles 48 hours after training. But is it okay to swim the day after working on biceps? In other words is it ok to follow up a high intensity/low rep workout with a low intensity/high rep workout within 24 hours?

Just track your results. If you're getting good results then you're fine. If not then you should try something else - look at Reuben's website for suggestions.
One thing I would recommend though is working your whole body, instead of just arms and abs.
mailmepizza 2 years ago
Hey man you need to let your mucles recover for at least 24 hours after using them, otherwise you may risk over training. If you train muscles too much there not goin to have time to grow any bigger :)

clickmeeeeeeeeee 2 years ago
EVeryone is different people, fuck, find the routine thats right for you and build off of that. My friends cousin who just beat 3 power lifting world records IN MY HOMETOWN YEA, works out probably 4 hours a day, and 5-6 days a week. This may be considered over working to some but with the proper nutrition and rest it can be a perfect routine. I think anyone can excercise 6 days a week if they just work up to it. EVERYTHING requires training.
DrDoobs420 2 years ago 3
Lifting stones for your employer you are "weight training", however when we lift in the gym we are doing it in a more focused way, which is why we get different results. We can lift stones for the boss everyday and we rest at night. No one tells the boss I can only work for you every other day. So the same proves true when you train everyday in the gym and since we are only doing 1-2 sets per body part we are able to train the entire body without getting too tired.
LuckyGuu 2 years ago
I see your analogy of working to lifting weights, but even if your job was to lift weights 6 or 7 days a week, you would either overtrain or you wouldn't get very big/strong for reasons I already mentioned.
In some elite athletes, it can take a month to add 5 pounds to their squat. They have meticulously placed light, medium, and heavy days throughout the month. It is very COMPLEX. The more advanced you are, the more complex your training needs to be to keep gains coming.
mailmepizza 2 years ago
Please define overtraining?
I am not concerned with words/terms such as: genetics or overtraining
Remember, I am only suggesting you go to complete failure with 1-2 sets, but do the entire body each day and rest well at night. remember, reading a book in the evening in a soft chair adds to your rest amounts. Plus, never PAUSE at the top or bottom of each rep. Sometimes use less weight and make your set last several minutes and other times just do 2 reps, then 20 reps on the 2nd set.
LuckyGuu 2 years ago
Overtraining as in you work beyond your ability to recover within a normal amount of time. It is Selye's last stage of adaption, known as "exhaustion".
Anyway, this isn't really going anywhere. I think we can both agree with what DrDoobs420 said.
mailmepizza 2 years ago
I am not suggesting "complete physical exhaustion" as you describe "overtraining", but just going to complete failure for 1-2 sets per bodypart. Example: Legs = no more than 6 total sets Arms = 6 total sets Then rest as long between sets as you feel comfortable with. Do the entire body each day, for 6 days in a row. YOu can change exercises and the number of reps/weight used, just go to failure. I also suggest zero pause at the top/bottom of each rep. Tuff yes, but not overtraining.
LuckyGuu 2 years ago
Well if it works for you then great. All I was suggesting was what works for most people at a given level based on what I've read from coaches who have a lot of experience.
I'm not trying to tell you that there is a best way to train. If what you say works well for you and you like the results, then by all means do it.
mailmepizza 2 years ago
I am not saying other methods do not work, of course they work. There are countless ways to train that will get results, however I want to open the door that there is a system which does not require 48 hours of rest. So, would you ever, just once in your life, consider trying the system I outlined for 2 weeks, just to see how it feels? (just 2 short weeks out of your entire life????)
LuckyGuu 2 years ago
arent you suppoused to actually lower your chest on to the ground when doing a push up?
nugent321 2 years ago
Couldn't agree with what he said more! Just because you're sore doesn't mean you can't workout again. 3-5 days is plenty of recovery time for the average individual assuming an average workload, good nutrition and enough quality sleep. More advanced people with higher work capacities may (although rarely) need more than 5 days.
By the way, can anybody tell me the song name from 3:00 to 5:00? Thanks

You can do all of your resting at night, when you are asleep, then work the entire body again the next day, for a total of 6 days in a row. Just do less sets per bodypart, 1-2 intense sets is plenty!
LuckyGuu 2 years ago
You may get some results that way, but I doubt that is optimal for many, if any people. For the low-volume, high-frequency individuals you talk about, working all muscles 3x a week usually works best. For normal people, working each muscle 2x a week usually works best. For advanced and/or gifted people, each muscle every 5 days or so usually works best.
mailmepizza 2 years ago
Beginner or advanced, it doesn't matter, go to complete total failure for 1-2 sets per body part, then rest over night, that's enough rest. Forget what Joe Weider says about training each body part no more than 3 times per week. Mailmepizza, misunderstood me, lighting weight is like lifting rocks = work, however it's just in a more focused way. Weights = rocks = weights. Lift them and you will get bigger. We all have the SAME GENETICS, except that some people are stronger than others.
LuckyGuu 2 years ago
Your view is just too simplistic. There is a BIG difference between doing 2 sets every day for a week and doing 7 sets twice a week. Both add up to 14 total sets per week, but they do not produce the same training effect. If a more advanced trainee isn't continually doing more in his workouts (which will eventually add up to a very high volume within a workout), then he's not growing.
People do NOT have the same genetics. Everyone responds to different training parameters in different ways.
mailmepizza 2 years ago
You made good points, however if you go to failure on each set you will continue to progress and yes this is a simple system, but nowhere is it written in stone that a systems needs to be complex. Just add more weight when you feel the reps are too high.
True, when it comes to strength people have different genetics, but that's it. All of can "recover" while we sleep. Why? As I said several times, weight lifting = work, just in a more focused way.
LuckyGuu 2 years ago
Some training systems aren't complex just for the sake of being complex. They demand complexity. If it were as simple as you say, weightlifting coaches and strength and conditioning coaches for NFL and other professional sports teams wouldn't have a job.
I'm not saying everyone seeks the level of fitness that a professional athlete has. What I'm saying is that doing a small volume 7 days a week will not be enough to precipitate gains for very long. Large volumes/intensities are needed.
mailmepizza 2 years ago
Keep in mind that any routine will get a beginner some results. But the more intensity and volume that is used, the more rest that is needed. The more advanced a trainee becomes or the better his genetics are, the more intensity and volume will be necessary for more muscle/strength growth.
Imo if you want to work 6 days a week and then rest, get a job. Lifting weights shouldn't be looked at as working, because it is optional for most people (pro athletes aside).
mailmepizza 2 years ago
Excuse me, I said that people with great genetics may need to work harder to get results. Some people may misinterpret that.
What I meant is that people with better genetics have a higher work capacity, meaning they have a higher tolerance for large workloads (lots of intensity and/or volume) within a workout. The more volume/intensity they can handle, the more rest they will need.
Btw, thank you to the people who answered my question about the song.
