Correction: As stated for another video like this, body weight will never ever equal that of weightlifting strength or size despite what this guy may truely believe. He goes on to say it is science weight is weight whether body weight or lifting weights, not true. As a martial artist of 19 years doing both Karate and MMA, and also someone with a bit of bodybuilding (with weights) experience I know the difference. Just because you can do 20 push ups, which is using your own body weight or can do 15 pulls ups doesn't mean you can go to a gym and lift weights that way the same as you 20 or 15 x. Most people can't even lift their own body weight more than 5x times unless they have been doing it for quite some time. I am 195 lbs can do chin ups of around 10 x, push ups 25 x, and 350 sit ups but I can bench 210 lbs at 3 sets of 8, incline of 190 (3 sets of 8), decline of 75lb barbells on a good day (3 sets of 8) on a bad day 60 lbs(3 sets of 15. 550 lbs of leg press I think you got my point. With different weight exercises you will always gain weight and get stronger faster than doing body weight training exercises. However body weight training will no doubt get you more lean at least with me it did. So is body weight training the same as lifting weights? Absolutely not, you will get different results. If you disagree answer this then, why is it foot ball players, MMA fighters in the UFC, Wrestlers, among a few others add weight lifting to part of their training if body weight training is the same as lifting weights? The answer is because they are completely different. Ever seen a gymnist with the same kind of physic as a body builder? I haven't but you can still tell they are strong. Most athletes do at least some body training but still feel they need to add weightlifting to their training. I saw a gymnast who was obviously stronger than me in doing body training but then when I saw him again at my gym I noticed I could lift more weights than him, he rarely works out with weights he said, because he still needs to keep his flexibility and this was when I was new to weightlifting.

Thanks for the tips. No-Mo works for me as it allows me to sync my breathing.
The last tips -Going THROUGH Failure- killed me in the past 2 years. I either wanted to faint, had cold sweat or wanted to throw up. I often ended up on the floor and had to pause and sit.
Because of the above, I no longer doing it. When I reached Failure, then I stopped. I already maintain proper breathing (not letting my muscle running low on oxygen) and sip a bit of juice.
Much appreciate advice if you can have a video on -Going THROUGH Failure-. Perhaps I'd gone too far: -): -(

Jeff, I am still torn on which program to get the X or Xero. I currently do not have any weights at home except resistance bands I do have a chin up bar. I really would love to get the dumb bells you have on your site but that not an option at this time. I have been doing the beachbody workouts which have allowed me to lose weight and get my core and cardio stronger but I want to gain muscle and I know that is not going to do it. Please help me out which way to go.

I wanted to do a handstand pushup in a similar form like you're showing, but in the gym I could hardly get 40-50 pounds up in overhead press. I weigh about 145 pounds. I can hold my own bodyweight in a handstand leaning against the wall, but slowly lowering myself to the floor is incredibly hard and I can't imagine pushing myself up again without injury. How do I train myself to be able to push myself up again with bodyweight?

im curious what your stance would be on weight suits, aka suits that you can add weight to, in order to make yourself heavier. me personally i would want something like spartan armor (yeah it sounds cheesy but if you look at it, it doesn't restrict the body's movement and theoreticall you would be able to add weight evenly throughout the body instead of just the chest like most ones that exist.

The only thing that I see that is wrong is those pushups where he puts his hands away from his body don't involve more work-- in a physics sense. Most of the time using a long lever arm will result in more work, but because you make the weight travel a further distance. In this case, the weight is traveling the same distance, you are just using different muscles which makes it harder.

So you can create or not muscles with bodyweight? Here you say it's possible by changing the way we do push ups and so, but in your video about the pros and cons about the callisthenics you said that it doesn't create muscle. Maybe you create muscle but not that much? I don't know, look at the gymnast, it's all about bodyweight and they are super muscular and strong

hold the phone. You said at 2: 00 you are 165? really? i was gonna comment before listening that, that i am almost at your body stats and i look a lot like you. im 160 so that means 6-12 more months of training and i will look exactly like you: D can someone tell me the exact height of Mr. Jeff? and body fat(i assume he's close to 8-9%)

Thank God you showed people how to stop wasting time on pushups. go all the way down slow to break the muscle down. pause. come up slow to tear the muscle down. take the weight out of your toes and get your whole body over it. 10-20 reps can leave you winded. This is coming from someone who has done 101 on an Army PT test.

No mo is the way to go. Even just take a standard pushup and go so slow you take 10 seconds to go up and another 10 to go down and feel your arms absolutely quake after like, 5. Same with pullups, or even going up on your toes. A guy with absolute monster calves would do those at work.
