    Training is challenging, and it can drive us to be competitive with ourselves and others. This is fine as long as you recognize it and don’t let your ego get the best of you. Too much ego in your training can lead to unrealistic programs, doing too much, going too hard, getting injured, sacrificing form, poor technique and poor results over the long run. To fight this, you actively need to approach your training with humility; keeping your ego in check so as to prevent it from hijacking your objectivity and taking your training in a direction that isn’t productive. Ego is one reason why many feel they are beyond the basics. It can be humbling to be challenged by basics done well. The truth is we never outgrow the fundamentals; this doesn’t mean that they are ALL you should do, but an honest attempt to master them is key to long term success m, regardless of your health and fitness goals.

      @@beddiefrenson4424with push ups, I have way more control to gain over my core and at lockout. With pull ups, I would like to keep my higher reps more consistent. They are getting better, though. For instance, i did a set of 15 arched back, paused rep pull ups the other day and a solid 10 of them were with hard chest contact (im not going for chest to bar, just pulling as high as I can). A few years back that literally might have been 5 out of a set of 15. At this point, I’m not as interested in adding reps to the set, though I will as I need to, but I’m more interested in all those reps in the set having the same technical quality.

    These 3 minute philosophical lessons are hidden gem in the fitness industry. In my experience of ego lifting, mind training and physical training have a yin yang relationship.
    Only mind training and no physical training - Less safety, illusion of mastery and lethargy will set in.
    Only physical training with no mind training - Ego, overconfidence, purpose of training turns into seeking validation from others, Illusion of control over life.
    One must do both with the right intent, to see the best long term improvement by staying humble yet hungry for mastery.

    This is really true. When I started working out, I loved it! I just felt great and thats why I showed up.
    Over time as I made progress my ego set bigger goals and made them more important than the actual enjoyment.
    It started to become a thing to proof myself towards others and if I didnt perform well or wasnt making enough progress, I would feel like I wasnt enough.
    Eventually it killed the joy of something I at first loved, and slowly started to show up less and less.
    Now i'm at a point to click the reset button. To keep it simpel and try to workout for enjoyment again rather than ego.

    Well said! I do calisthenics every day. I walk between 2-4 hours a day, and I have finally got my daily protein dialed in.
    Although I adjusted my routine to half/partial reps (I go for time under tension and so much easier on my joints), I am seeing some great results!
    You are right. This is a lifetime commitment. Sometimes, rarely, I may only do half my workout or even none at all, not out of laziness, but more out of fatigue.
    Sometimes, I feel like indulging in food that's not on the normal regimen, but make sure I don't go off the rails too hard, and this is becoming less and less frequent.
    Most of all, I don't beat myself up over it. I just continue on the next day. Discipline and willpower are totally overrated, and forgiveness and acceptance are totally underrated.

It's definitely not easy only because once you realize how much you really need, you also realize how little of it you actually eat on a daily basis.

    What you said at about :30 and toward the end really resonated me. It is my favorite quote of Aquinas that _nothing lasts which has not something lasting in it._
    If you have unsustainable practices, like bad form or overworking; if you have bad motivations-ego and popularity-driven ones-then your development will not last.

    Spot on! The balance between acceptance and persistence. In my experience, quality workouts always start with acceptance of where I am and shifting the energy/effort from running away from my insecurities and towards the physique I’m working towards. Acceptance precedes persistence every single time. If it’s out of order then my session turns into a breeding ground for ego.

    This is a timely video for me. Your video on a simplified daily push-pull-squat routine changed my life. But life has also been extra tough as of late. Diet and daily physiological hygiene remain intact, but sleep hasn't always been easy. The fatigue sometimes catches up with me and it became an ego thing to push my exercising even though I was exhausted. I finally learned to be kind to myself and that it was okay to take a day (or two) off to acknowledge the need for recovery. The breaks didn't make me a failure, nor (thankfully!) did they become a habit. Just a little "paused rep" in its own to continue moving with focus and precision.

    Definitely agree with this. Thats why I enjoy calling my training jouney "Mind Body Fitness" everything starts with the right mindset. The "right mindset" is different for everyone so don't fall into this whole "optimal" word which has been trending around. It all starts with the mind, before training, during training and even after training. The mindset to take your time with your reps and sets, the mindset to focus on form, the mindset to not get caught in chasing reps, the mindset to eat properly so you can achieve your fitness/health/physique goals, the mindset to get proper rest so one may train again tomorrow.

    A ligament tear last October, and a sprained thumb in April this year, it's a humbling experience cause my progress was mostly unstructured and based off of self deception and bursts of ego, like the dunning kruger effect of overestimating my ability with a puffed up sense of pride, I thank the Lord Jesus for humbling me and renewing my heart to fix my perception on physical fitness, and many other things, it's very easy to fall for the subtleness of pride, thank you for the reminder Mr Boges, God bless.

    I find the philosophy of Alfred Adler very uplifting. He says that its healthy to look at challenges and dealing with people like this: dont think of hierarchies when you deal with people. Instead imagine a wide and open plane where people walk on. If they are better at a certain task or inhabit a "better" position they are more ahead of you. But what matters is not the distance to them but If you keep going and if you chose your direction wisely. So this puts emphasis on the progress more than the relation towards people (or a certain task).

    I really appreciate your view on fitness. University has been tough for the last few years and going to gym just actively kills those last 20% of energy I have left for the day.
    However, I've startet doing Pull/Chin Ups and various Push Up variations pretty much everyday as they only take a few minutes of my day and actually benefit my mental offloading. Training is now a healthy part of my life instead of just another grindy aspect of it and even though I do not progress as fast as I did in the gym, I feel fulfilled and happy.

    First half of the video just made me realize I usually try "all or nothing" and as you said it ends in nothing. I tried dieting with that approach, lost weight, and now I'm actually fatter than before. The second half talked about fundamentals of exercise, but I looked at it through dieting perspective, and concluded that I should focus on the fundamentals like choosing healthier alternatives to what I normally eat rather than slashing my calorie intake in half. Good video in general, thanks.

      @@Kboges If you don't mind Kyle, I'd like to ask you something. When doing rows, would you recommend tucked elbows for more lats activation, or a more flared out stance? Considering your training for incresing pull-up performance, that is.

    • @Kboges
      @Kboges  Před 2 měsíci +1

      I really like both, so I will usually prioritize a tucked row, but I will often do rows to the face (like a face pull) and flare the elbows a bit. Both are fine as long as you tolerate them and a mix of them is never a bad idea.

      That's a great way to approach training. I think you are spot on and I really think that is the key to getting the most out of things. If we approach basics like we already know everything about them, we are likely to miss the most important things they have to offer, which don't come from a superficial understanding, but only after we establish a deep connection with them.

    Once in a while i approach humility with trying on a weighted vest once a week and go on a 2hr walk and do 10x10 pushups. It doesnt feel like a work out in the moment but i will be feeling it for the rest of the week. Then i come back home and i realize that i need to focus on mobility because i cant do the deep stretches that i used to be able to do.... im losing out on strength, mobility and stability if im not consistent. Strength is ego-driven i think - you never have to work too hard to find strength. Muscles always need to be created for all activities. But mobility and stability should not be ignored thats how you get injured and lose out on any progress.

    I love the point about training for a bigger reason than yourself rather than to gratify the ego.
    I have found over my life that when people are motivated soley by ego, their effort will always be temporary.
    The people who stick with training or anything their entire lives have a reason that inspires them.
    Thats the difference between motivation and inspiration. Motivation is a never ending hunger that needs
    To be fed. True inspiration comes from a reason greater than the ego. It empowers us.

After I mentioned 5-3-1 Forever's standard of 50 pull ups in 10 minutes, he did another 50 in 10 and a half minutes. He told me that he can do 20 in a row. He was 49 years old, suggested doing a burpee variation with 3 push ups, 1 goblet squat & 2 lunges. He suggested using the false grip for forearms. He auto-regulates his workouts based on soreness. He does't do fancy things at all just the basics on a very high level like K boges who does a muscle up only before his straight bar dips.
