  My legs always were a weakness, and I used to think that bodyweight squats were useless because they were too easy. During lockdown, I started to do 500 reps of bodyweight squats each workout. Recently I tried to do strict form ass to grass pistol squats and managed to do 8 reps each legs. All those fitness guru selling programs get rich making us believe that you have to do all those complicated workout routine, meanwhile if you stick to the basics you're going to witness true progress.

  I was in the Spanish Army for two years. This video remind me to the strength workouts in our physical training. It was all focused in muscular endurance, with basic bodyweight exercises, high reps, lots of sets and short rests. That was also very cardio demanding. If you look at policeman or firemen training you will notice that they do the same. You can workout for many diferent goals but if what you want is being as fit as possible I think you should train like this man said.

  Controversial but from experience my body truly transformed from this kind of training. Doing the basics well and focusing on building strength for high reps of Pull ups , dips and squats. Best method for a lean ripped asthetic.

  It’s not a popular opinion but high volume clearly works. Love the vids! I stopped trying to do low rep high skill moves and am just focusing on high rep exercises now

  I am 76 years old and have been around the block as they say. I totally agree with what you say as it has been serving me greatly, especially for my age. I am totally functional, healthy and active as a young man.

  Bro high rep calisthenics are underrated when it comes to working out. Try doing high rep ATG bodyweight squats with decent form and keep constant tension on the muscles. When you go past 100 it makes you feel like Goku in the gravity chamber. It’s not just squats, it’s the same for push ups, inverted rows, pull ups, sit ups, and jumping jacks.

  I just started doing at least 200 push-ups for the past 2 weeks and my entire upper body feels extremely sore after I'm done. This whole lock down has made me love bodyweight exercises.
