Very instructive. I'll be getting a pair of these.
Gooood and suitable at any place but now the price is to much in Philippines peso ahhahah
Kensui is not a reputable company. I ordered almost 3 months ago, finally tried to cancel it, and now they're saying it's packed up already. They are total trash.
Where's the 10% off discount code that you mentioned in the video?
For me personally it's very challenging to count reps while focusing on maintaining a proper form during the exercise. I'm not multitasking whatsoever!😅 I think counting reps is not really necessary as long as you train to failure in each and every set your body doesn't know how many reps you've done. What matters is training to failure.
How to open the base unit to exchange the batteries?
❤❤❤
I find mixing both to be the best. Pushups feel better but dips make you feel more manly
It was a good advice overall. I'd add that rest days between the training days are essential for muscle growth and what is also important is an adequate daily consumption of protein particularly Leucine amnio acid to promote muscle growth. The paper below delves into detailed explanation of how at least 2 gram of protein per kg of weight a day is essential to trigger muscle growth. "2) For building muscle mass and for maintaining muscle mass through a positive muscle protein balance, an overall daily protein intake in the range of 1.4-2.0 g protein/kg body weight/day (g/kg/d) is sufficient for most exercising individuals, a value that falls in line within the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range published by the Institute of Medicine for protein. 5) Acute protein doses should strive to contain 700-3000 mg of leucine and/or a higher relative leucine content, in addition to a balanced array of the essential amino acids (EAAs)." Jäger, R., Kerksick, C.M., Campbell, B.I. et al. International Society of Sports Nutrition Position Stand: protein and exercise. J Int Soc Sports Nutr 14, 20 (2017).
tomorrow is a new month and i have been doing so much but not consistent with any. so from tomorrow i am dedicated to starting full body push up, rows, trx suspended squat my rep ranges are between 6-10 reps i want to be consistent with these 3 movements and see where I'll be by end month 3 times a week. good video brother. keep spreading truth
Thank brother for watching. Consistency is key and I'm sure you will get there
What does your calisthenics bodybuilding program look like??
Is it just me or is sound coming only from our left speakers?
Not just you, if I listen to phone it's fine but with headphones it's only the left, I don't know what the issue is, either mic or editing software . Thanks for heads up and hope it didn't ruin the quality too much
@@LeeDowningKeat It's fine! I was just scared that my 15-20 year old speakers started to give up! xD
@Macluny 🤣
I replaced my gym with a sandbag, two dumbbells, weight plates, and an old iron bar I hang weighted grocery bags from.
Other than sandbags being an odd shape and being full body, are there any other unique benefits? All of the other ones you can just use weights to replicate.
I'm getting the kensui weighted vest hopefully in the next month or so.
Let me know how you get on with it
@@LeeDowningKeat I will.
Good vid.. I've just been sticking with chin-ups a Pause at the top at mo do to shoulder find difficult to do pull ups.... My gym membership runs out this week so I did plan to train down the beach but soon found out all the bars have been taken down due to safety. They replacing it all and it looks quite good what they're planning however thought they would have done that through winter instead the summer it's not gonna be done until late August. So now got to find somewhere to hang my gym Rings to train this summer.🤔
Thanks wolfy, how have you been? That's a shame, yea you would have thought, while it would be used that would have got it ready by then, so you can't renew your membership a little longer then
@@LeeDowningKeat I normally renew my membership in the winter months works out cheaper that way. As we get in the warm weather again it's nice to train outside get some that vitamin D
@wolfydragon4511 oh yea get that sunshine. Portable pull up bar will sort you out. Bound to have cheap ones on Ebay, seen a full pull up mates there and you can attach Rings to it
@@LeeDowningKeat I've got one of them squat cages outside but is in need of repair so derrent use it at the moment. 🤔 Plus I can't pull right up properly our bang my head on my gazebo. 😂 got some nice new wooden rings with the number straps only cost £21... Found park where I might be able to use the trees.
In the end who does need these Swissies, bands and rings? :)
I'm a geek for fitness gear 😂
Insane tutorial bro 🔥🔥
Glad it helped
0:20 beautiful pullups bro, chest to bar 👍
Thanks bro
Bought normal and 45 based of this video. Thank you
Your welcome, hope you enjoy them
Rings rings and more rings. I started training with rings during COVID. Someone at my gym jokingly asked if I was a MMA fighter. LOL I’m 67 years old.💪
rings are awesome. 67 years old and still training... respect
Dips are better then pushups they form the Triceps more and also you get better gains from doing dips
do you only do dips or do both?
@@LeeDowningKeat do both g trust you will get nice lee
Gains
do 10 sets of dips each work out session then do the pushups js bro
There's no discount code.
sorry my discount code has been taken away
Doing both is better for longevity especially doing the post partial reps omg❤❤
doing a combination of rep ranges will give best overall results for strength and hypertrophy.
How has it held up? Do you use this regularly?
held up really well, dont do a lot of weighted atm but will get back into it later in the year
@@LeeDowningKeat Was it comfortable with high weight loads? Like no shoulder pain with 100lb+?
@kempetai2099 when I used it I never went higher than 40kg and felt it comfortable. It's a weird feeling having that much weight but the padding is good.
Next: swissies 2 - 45°
There is an angled version of V2 max
But the question is, if we have great form and technique, do our muscles get bigger by doing the same number of sets and reps each week? I assume not, so at some point we have to increase the volume or add weight And to know whether we are doing that or not we have to record the sets of reps each time to see how many we have done. So if last time I managed 14 press-ups , and then attempt press-ups again, what do I do ? Should I attempt to beat by as many as possible or just do 15 ? Or do I not even look at how many I did last time and just do as many as possible in good form ? In this case, do I never record the number and just do them ? Sounds ok In theory but what if I’m still doing 14 reps a year later ? And maybe because I didn’t make enough effort to do more !
Ring version is challenging, but it feels like the body is really under pressure, which is good.
they are a great way to make exercises more challenging and to test yourself
This review was useful.
Glad you think so!
@@LeeDowningKeat I bought them and use them frequently.
For example: ua-cam.com/video/tk1S3mRm5gI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AndreyCheremskoy
@ScienceAppliedForGood using the 45’s atm as chin ups are screwing up my wrist
Tried using code 'LEEDOWNINGKEAT' - doesn't work ☹️
really well explained ! thanks guys
Glad it helped!
Chest-to-bar-chin ups also places a lot emphasis on the lats.
great point. do you do them too?
This confirms my experience. I’ve done press-ups for some time and increased my strength with no issues. Then as soon as I started dips I got a shoulder muscle injury within a week. Maybe my fault for not starting with assisted dips. But I also find the exercise awkward to perform and I think it’s easy to make a mistake and pick up another injury. So no more dips for me. Now I just do push-ups , inverted rows, pull ups, squats, abs, on a Push Pull Legs schedule 6 days per week.
solid workout and exercise selection. Pick exercises that what for you, the core of this series was to highlight that it isn't black on white on exercises and the important thing is to pick what is best for you in your current situation. sorry for the late reply. appreciate your time in commenting
Good video, but timecodes!
Good shout. I'll get onto that. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more
Interestingly, it is not either or. Claiming that is also to say that If You do 3 more reps than the 1-5 (Myofibrillar) range then You switch over to Sarco and the Myo does not happen. This is nonsense. If it takes 10 Myo fibers to lift 10 kg, then it doesn’t matter how much Sarco you have. You must have 10 Myo to do the lift. So, if a 200 pound body builder can lift 100 kg he must have 100 Myo, the exact same number of Myo that the 120 pound power must have to do the same lift. It is the Myo’s that does the lift.
Great ! Thank you 🙏
I’m 6’1 175lbs. After lots of cardio during college last few weeks of senior year after a best friend dying and deciding to leave my girl. I’d like to get back to abs like I did in high school. But really haven’t worked out except in short periods for 4 years now. So probably 170-175 10% goal. Maybe 7-10%. Is cut ideal if I’m already at the correct weight? I have a bit of dad bod/gut. But still don’t look big in the arms. All the weight goes to stomach and chin. Tips?
I bulked last year and got to 200 looking bigger. Wouldn’t say muscular but was lifting a lot more. Then stopped when life events happened. And the cardio started to cope with everything. Now I wanna get back to looking right.
Sorry to hear about your friend and your girlfriend first of all. My advice is if you cut weight you might still look skinny fat. So it's better if you focus on building some muscle but don't do what other people do and do a dirty bulk. Try and find tour calorific need a day and add 300-500 calories a day and focus on building muscle and getting stronger.keep an eye on thr scales but also how you look and check to see what weight you are gaining and adjust calories. If gaining too quick and looking a bit fat lower. See what progress you make after 6 months and then try a mini cut of 4 weeks, to see if you can try and lose some of the fat gained. It will take time but if you are consistent you will see real change
@@LeeDowningKeat damn that was honestly a great answer. How do you suggest keeping track of how many calories you’re burning. Easy to see how many intake but tips for the other way? And any specific routine. Since high school I’ve used that app BodyFit to track routines. Wondering if I should follow more of a bulk routine. Or a cut one. Ik the answer is it doesn’t really matter. But feels good to pick
@GlitchMoreau you can easily use a online calculator , they're not perfect but give a ballpark to play with. Only true way for you and just keeping eye on scales but you can go further. Each weight in. Measure chest arms legs waist etc. How do your clothes feels, looser or tighter and in what areas. Keep a log for it if it helps. When it comes to calories you will be surprised in some cases how little we burn and alot of machine will over estimate, it can be harder when doing workouts where there isn't a calories counter so that can be harder bit again keeping an eye on scales and other metrics will let you know if you are consuming the right amount of calories for your goal For the workout side I'm keen on full body however pick one that you can stay consistent with and are motivate to follow with. Again I'm more focus on heavy lifting and low rep training and not just getting bigger and stronger, however there are real benefits of doing high and low rep training plus it's nice to mix it up. Focus on compounds and add in some isolation if needed. Not sure if you are weights focused or calisthenics and can do both but most importantly have fun with it . Hope that helps and there is lot of content on the channel to help you if you are calisthenics minded or want to add it in. Plus videos on progressive overload if you need help on progressing with your training
Tryna be like you big bro fr
Hey Lee, do you know anything about the Rouge door jammer pull up bar which goes above a doorway? I love the idea of this but wonder about installing it in a typical UK 1930s house.
Sorry. No I don't, never used one as I've never lived anywhere I could install it. Be nice to use especially if you have the ceiling height
Thanks for the reply Lee. I always appreciate it.
Being big looks good on Instagram lol.
HSPU is cool Planch pu(cant do any of them) Pull up is amazing
Trx is better 😅
Trx are pretty handy but you can do far more with rings plus they are a quarter of the price
How with time,how long need to do workout?
How would you work legs?
It's a predominantly upper body equipment however would be handy to use for balance for pistol squats and even lunges
Bro there is no such thing like that they typecly happens togather .. u dont find a guy lifts the same weight over and over and his muscles gets bigger .. especialy if comnined with progressive over load .. sarculeme increases only as a respone to the training program and myofibriilar increase will happenes after surly if there is progressive overload is always there .. even powerfilters do hypertrophy and high volume training from time to time to increase muscle mass because they even need it
