Art man, I feel for you brother. It sucks not being able to train to the level you have been able to in the past. I’m sure you know this already but, keep your head up Art man. You have inspired thousands of dudes to get off their asses and do bodyweight training. I certainly am one of them. That influence is real and life changing bro. Keep doing your thing brother and in time, the shoulder will get to a place where you can hit a War Machine routine again, or a Mega Man routine, which is one of my all time favourites👊. Always love and respect to the OG, the burpee Don✊🫵💯!
Hey Art. Burpees teach us that every time we go down, we get back up again. If your shoulder's not feeling great, go for a run, do some lunges, squats, maybe try out some new stuff. You've always been big on leading by example, and we're looking to you now too. You don't need to go all out with shot callers and those insane workouts you used to do before the injury, but you do need to show us your resilience and ability to adapt... and now, your wisdom in being patient. Life keeps moving and we keep changing. If it were all the same, what would be the point? Only those who give up fighting are truly beaten. Being great isn't just about giving, it's about knowing how to receive too. So, accept our support and reinvent yourself. We're in your corner. Until next time... stay safe, stay strong! ;-)
I've been fortunate to avoid major injuries, but seventy-four years of living takes its toll regardless. I have incorporated a burpee routine into my training for as long as I can remember since first discovering The Wolf's channel some years ago. My routine takes about an hour, and includes sets of ten one pumps, followed by a short rest/recovery, then repeat the ten one pumpsets five more times, totaling sixty burpees, then twleve chins/pull-ups, followed by a minute (or longer!) of rest/recovery, then repeat the sequence three more times. Total of 240 one pump burpees and 48 chins/pullups. I do this once or twice a week, depending on my other activities, interspersed with other body weight routines, plus biking, skiing, whatever as the weather permits. With God's kind and gracious assistance, I hope to keep this up until my time here on Earth is over and my eternity with Him begins. God bless you, Wolf and all your internet followers. And know that someone does actually give a (care) for you!
Bro been watching you for a while, be easy on yourself and get back into it slowly and healthy man. The mental torture of injuries is so much worse than the physical pain, for those of us who really take fitness seriously and make it a part of who we are, not being able to perform at a level we previous could causes genuine depression. Just know you’re worth more than just your crazy workouts and stuff man. Always an inspiration, rah YUT semper fi kill babies
Hey Iron Wolf, I’ve watched your videos for years, and while I don’t do the high rep burpee training anymore, I still check in every now and again to see what you’re up to and get inspired. I can see you’re struggling with injury right now. I just wanted to let you know I totally feel your pain, you’re not alone, not just in being injured but having to deal with the mental side of suddenly being limited in life. I’m only 29 years old, I fractured a small bone in my spine a few years ago. This healed up normally, but I unknowingly likely had herniated a couple discs at the same time. I went about everything normally for a few years until about 6 months ago. I either reherniated or exacerbated an already existing herniation. For about 6 months or so whenever I sit for longer than 15 minutes I get radiating tingles all down my right leg, sometimes this can turn in to pain. If I do anything that puts pressure on the discs I can make it worse and the tingling becomes constant. This essentially means that I can never press significant weight overhead again, or do any kind of weighted squat or deadlift, even if the injury and symptoms goes away eventually, which is iffy, the doctors say it can take years, or be permanent. And then for the past couple of weeks I’ve been getting hives when I train for some reason and am currently seeing doctor’s for that. It feels more and more like the things I used to do without thinking, things I love, are going away. I get depressed, feel anxiety, etc. I see people on the street, or see people training, and get jealous, in my head thinking about how they’re probably just leading normal lives, etc. But there’s always a way. I can’t do weights anymore? Okay I’ll do all calisthenics, I just avoid anything that excessively bends or twists my back. Get hives? Take hella Zyrtec and train in bursts inside, etc. There’s always something we can do to train. Upper body injury? Get super in to running, cycling for the time being, etc. etc. You know all this already but I just wanted you to know you’re not alone brother and I totally feel it, so relatable. I remember never having to think about it, now going to a movie theater is a pain in the ass (literally). But we’ll get through this, only a matter of time.
First Sarge! I remember the Facebook post during the pandemic "if your having a hard day throw on your favorite album and just 1 pump out it until them music stops." That has been therapy for years.
No matter how strong you are life hits you harder than you can take. Even as fucked up as you are now you are still in better shape than 99 percent of the world. I know thats hard to keep in perspective but lifes not over just because you cant do push ups as well any more. People out here so sick or so over weight they cant even do a single burpee. You can transition your fitness into another avenue at least its only your shoulder and not a series terminal health illness. Stay strong wolf this will pass my brother.
Hello Art, I'm sorry to hear about your injury, but I'm sure you will overcome this little obstacle on the way. You have nothing to prove, but we all know you have a strong mindset. I've been following you for years, since the early days of the Wolf Pack, but well... these last few years have been hell for me and I've been in a very dark place in my mind. But here I am and I never stopped checking out what you were up to, to motivate myself to take control of my life. But you know what? NGAF ;) Recover, step by step. Greeting from Spain, maestro. (Maestro is “teacher” in Spanish). Respect, brother.
I found your channel 1 1/2 years ago. In that time I’ve had a complete body transformation. You pushed me to a whole another level. Your a true leader, you’ve inspired a whole pack of burpee warriors. The ability to make those around you speaks volumes about your character. Stand strong Wolf The pack is with you
Hey Wolf take care of you. Don't over do it. My dad went back into training too hard to soon after shoulder problems. And then it messed it up for 2 years. Just take it slow. No matter how hard it seems now it will be worth taking it slow. All the best
Inspirational. Thanks for showing the workouts when you’re battling through injuries. Stay safe and strong. For those who’ve had issues there is always a way. And for those really in the ruts. Walk/hike/ruck. I literally just started doing pull-ups again after over a month off due to injury. Stay strong and live long everybody!
Ive been doing rotator cuff work with a 25 lb dumbell, some resistance bands have helped a lot with my shoulder pains also. Great to see you making content again Wolf!
Nice to see you post again Iron Wolf! Let me add my voice to all the others that have said you changed their lives for the better. I've been on a burpees journey for three years now thanks to you. As someone who is struggling with shoulder and wrist pain, I can appreciate the mental challenge of working out under your usual expectations. It's hard to step down from where you've worked your way to so damn hard, but it's sometime necessary. I wish you the best recovery possible sir 👊
Hey Wolf! A few supplemental suggestions....Take Glucosamine Chrondroitin(adult serving size x 2) collagen (adult x 2) , 5 grams of Vitamin C, 3-5 grams of Calcium carbonate daily spread throughout the day for better absorption. You will find healing happens rapidly and completely because your providing your body with the essential building blocks for connective tissue repair. Pure miracle is the feeling I had after repairing myself after destructive debilitating workouts left me feeling handicapped. Best of luck Wolf and God bless 🎉
Hi Wolf. Even with the injury you are much stronger and active than many other people. Thanks for your great performance, for your dedication to burpee for your great routine for your smart advice about supplements. Very strong be healthy and take care of your shoulders
Keep your head up Art! You're a great inspiration for us that follow you, so please continue the journey, even if not at 100% immediately. Injury is the risk we take while training. Sometimes it's 2 steps forwards and 1 step backwards road. We'll overcome it, but it will just take some time. We can't rush it! I'm writing this after my back locked up - haven't trained in 1 week (plus all the meds that come with it that are no good). I'll need to come back slowly and I know it'll be a slog. I'm looking forward to 4-6 months from now when I'll look back and would have 1. learned a lesson, 2. have something to share with others, 3. be even more in tune with my body. Wishing you a speedy recovery Art!
I thought I knew what grinding was till I learned from you the art of the burpee i couldn’t even hop to my feet till I started trading to your vids my whole world has changed thanks man. Alberta Canada in the house
Hi iron Wolf - you should buy some strong magnets and stick them on your shoulder - for magnetic therapy - I swear by it - it’s stimulates the blood flow around the area that’s injured - I’ve had great results - might be worth a try - big fan - all the best from Perth, Australia 👊
I rolled my shoulder the other month and it took months to come back you gotta do yoga and stretch your arm daily. It was extremely painful to just put on a shirt and sleep on one side but i found it helpful for me to sleep on the floor instead of a bed. just take it easy on the workouts and instead of pull ups try dead hangs to stretch that arm out
Hey wolf. Keep the head up. I know how you feel and i can feel your frustration. Back in 2001 i had spinal fusion and mental pain was almost as bad as the physical pain. Stopped training for a long long time. eventually got back in to weights but the ability to move heavy stuff was long gone. Back at the beginning of lockdown i discovered your channels just as the government were about to shut down the gyms here in Ireland. I fell back in love with training because of your methods and mentally and have been pushing it ever since. So thank you wolf. You will recover. You will be back smashing it. You got this
Hey Mr. ART you are the true inspiration and have been for a long time! This is a challange that once again will let you come out stronger on the other side again! I am an athlete just like you, in your shoes I Would start foucusing only in swimming and doing the sauna! That combo does wonders its worth a try! We love you man, beeing the most diaiplined guy I follow, you are still human be kind to your self and your body, somtimes rest is the the best medecin for recovery ❤
Hey Art! Fantastic routine! Thank you for your words at the end! I've been following you for four years now and truly admire your dedication and expertise. In 2017, I suffered from a severe herniated disc. I visited multiple doctors and received numerous opinions, all indicating that I would never be able to do my favorite sports again (boxing and kayaking). It took eight dark months for my recovery, during which I struggled to even put on my socks or walk properly. However, when my physiotherapist suggested swimming, I went for a lot of laps. In 2019, I started boxing again, and by 2021, I was back on the water as a kayaker. Keep pushing forward bro and don't let the doubters discourage you! Keep your head up!
Cheer up Iron Wolf, better times are coming and I believe and think very strongly about you. As has been written many times, you have positively influenced the lives and mentality of many people around the world and you deserve a big thank you for that. Because of you I have had many great sporting experiences and even when it comes to pushing through, I have changed. I've mentioned the July Challenge several times. I even counted to 6 while I was falling asleep. Your statements like NGAF, embrace the suck and no fluff have certainly influenced many people and helped them achieve more performance and moments of happiness. Finally, I would also like to encourage you with a quote from you: Shit gets hard i get harder thats the bottom mind (Day 30 of 31 July Challenge). I wish you a good recovery so that you will stay with us for a long time. 🤝💯💨🔥
Not on the balcony this time? Great to see you back, man! Hope the shoulder is healing up nicely! I had some impingement syndrome issue with my shoulder from may to about january, still stinging from time to time, but i lowered the workload... lots of running to compensate the missing movement. I think it was a stupid mistake from not warming up at all and hitting the pullup bars at a trip with some friends out in Prague! Burpees never did damage to me (maybe only my wrists, but that why i used the straps for longer workouts). Man your workout routines were insanely HEAVY back in 2021/22, but You gonna get back stronger and tougher!!! 💪💪
Glad to see you are back. Dealing with an arm injury of my own, think it's a tricep strain since early January. It's a mental hurdle I am trying to overcome and work out around.
Glad you are back, big bro ❤ I’m an orthopedic doctor. Your push-up form is still damaging your shoulders. You need to pull your shoulders way down and to the back (as far away as possible from your neck). At the bottom especially. And try always to ice pack your shoulders after workout. And work on your shoulders mobility too, sir. Thanks always for your motivation!
Salute to the Wolfpack. Hang in there Art. You are going through a recovery mental workout/test that in time will make you even more resilient. Following your workouts helped me regain pride and stamina I thought were long gone. I also had a shoulder surgery/injury that took me close to a year to recover. I struggled to achieve a single push up for few month. Slowly with a Crossrope and pushups I eventually worked my way back to Wolfpack worthiness. Thank you for sharing your motivation; It’s a tough road, we are all rooting for you. Everyday you are closer to recovery. Semper fi
Your paste looks down, but that’s because we’re used to your inhuman rithm of before your injury! Because I did this workout today, and it still took me a little short on 40 (while I’m at it for a few years now and no injury whatsoever 😅 ) Actually, my shoulder was very bad when I found your channel. Your vids on shoulder health, your inspiration to work hard with no excuses - and to do so with ONLY clean reps - were the biggest part of getting back in perfect shape! Hope you’ll heal up too in a bit! 🤘🏼💪🏼
Stay strong mate. I love the short workouts too tbh. With 2 kids i want to keep regular trainings (5 times per week) but time is limited. So short trainings videos are also appreciated. Salute!
I was the same Art, shoulder op in October and multiple physio sessions later on ACJ, back up to 100 burpees various pumps and supporting exercise with a fair bit of swimming now, its a long recovery man but getting there .. keep the head up, lean forward, it’ll come .. appreciate the continued postings
Salute ! I wish you to heal completely ! Thanks for your work ! All the sport you've been teaching here helped me a lot in my life, while quiting really bad thing like alcohol. I do burpee this morning. 100 rep. Good warmup, good stretch, everything i learn here. I will keep this knowledge with me over the years ! It make me a lot stronger in my mind and body than i was ! A complete change, day and night. Strengh for you !
Art just leave the ego @ the door. I was finally able to Keep up with you only coz u were injured. Just a thought but just adapt to different training routines to make up the difference. For Instance swimming, it's great for PT for that shoulder. I have tendonitis in my shoulders arthritis in my knees and my feet hurt but I'm grinding away. When you were out of commission I was 2. I was in a recovery center Recovery Ways in Murray UT for mental health so I'm still recovering, with you. Thanks for all your workouts present and past. ✌️
Have you checked out low frequency High Intensity Training to stay fit while injured? Saves your joints and gets the job done training once or twice a week.
Hi Art Been thinking about you a lot lately man - I’ve had a shoulder injury - you’re at the early stages of yours - it’s just time - you’re killing it for how recently you got injured - I’m a bit old than you man - you’ve taught me so much about training - just remember this training thing is a marathon - you never feel like you’ll be back to the same you - but believe me you will - all the best brother
Unfortunately everyone goes through what you’re going through Wolf man. Remember though you did it when you could do it and when you could you were a machine. An inspiration to many, I did a 1000 burpees push ups because of you. That video of the 500 navy seals played on my mind for years, so in the end I just had to do it, I trained for it and got it smashed out. Just like with everything in the Army we have to adapt and as you get older you have to adapt to what your body is telling you. Stay strong brother and rep when you can rep and rest when you need to rest.
Anyone who has never been injured hasn't done anything. Those who work very hard get very hurt. Boss, keep your end up. Everything happens for a reason. We live, we learn we heal. You're gonna be good as new in time. You'll see.
Wolf, brother you are continuing on, at the end that's all that matters, is you keep grinding and staying consistent. Don't be hard on yourself when it's not needed. It would be needed if you totally gave up and didn't do anything. Bro you are still GETTING IT. I understand with being our biggest critiques, but I'm here to tell you, you are doing GREAT, lighten up on yourself for a bit and you too will see your doing just fine, just keep grinding like you do. No one stays young forever no matter how hard we work. Eventually everyone's mortality rate drops to 0.
I recently dusted off the crossropes and weighted ropes that you inspired me to buy...and started training.Those are pretty awesome. Amazing for recovery from injury! Weighted ropes unbroken for 5mins 2-4 times....insanely hard! Try it guys!
One of the greatest lessons I learned while doing your routines was to simply focus on the set right in front of me, and not the workout as a whole. If i saw that I had upwards of 1,000 reps to go, it would almost feel unattainable. So instead, I would force myself to think just do this set of 25, and then when that's done you drop a coin and do it again, and before you know it, it's over. Also, there was a time when I would watch your workouts and never imagine getting near the volume you were doing. So, I imagine in some ways you're in the same boat as a lot of the people watching you now. So, now we can all grow together.
Hello iron wolf 💪 🐺 good to see again, but please dont push it too soon, your body was at peak performance almost inhuman like and it needs a little rest now. We all can hear the sadness in your words, but please be strong soldier, we are all praying for you and wish you a good recovery! The Motivation you gave us all in the last years is unbroken, you are still the ultimate burpee machine! Take care and greetings from austria 😁
It hurts seeing you struggling with the situation. A little advice from a 50 year old guy serving more than 25 years in military and police SF. Get used to the decay of your body. Unfortunately it is unstoppable, and once you pass a certain age it´s becoming very obvious. I saw generations with the same background, about 90% of them were wrecked after all these years giving a fuxx about their bodys. The only thing you can do is to fight it with smart trainings and recovery. And so I am still doing your oldschool and brilliant high rep burpee routines 2 or 3 times a week. Awesome workout keeping me active and almost healthy. Thanks to you Art I´m pretty fit and also mentally strong. Be patient, train smart and recover. And you will be as fit as before pretty quick. Stay strong. Teufel Hunden!!!!
On a small side note, I got a gnarly pinched nerve in my upper left back it has healed mostly but every once in awhile it will inflame and cause major pain and discomfort, this has been going on for the past 3.5 years and at this point I know it will cause problems every so often, but you know we learn to live with it we adjust, adapt and move on. I get it can be a burden but it only can cause as much problem as you lend your mind to it.
Your a inspiration Art, I have also been recovering from a rotary cuff injury and I’m just getting back into burpee heaven. Had physio and for 2 Months now for the past 2 weeks just been building up my shoulder strength, this has been the perfect routine. Salute to you, I have also been struggling mentally, it’s gets you down when having any injuries that only time can heal. Keep going bro, you are the man, best fitness routine on the tube by far.🫡🇺🇸
Injury rehab is always frustrating. A top athletics coach I knew said a good thing is to use it to bring in other aspects which might not have been emphasised as much Then the period can be used as progress. It does not mean abandoning tge main stuff. Anyway your mental toughnes was always a huge plus for you.
Love the routine brother Did you ever use clubbells for mobility exercises? I had issues with my shoulders recently and used a 5 kilo one to kind of unblock my shoulder, I noticed a direct effect Just putting it out there in hope that your shoulder will recover soon All the best wolf!
Sorry for your injury. It's very strong. Just wondering what can I do if I can't more than like 10 burpees and 0 pull-ups? How can I work towards getting my first pull up? Should I do negative? Should I do inverted rows How can i do a workout and build up to my first pull up mabe ten sets of 5 or 10 inverted rows with a burpee adding a burpee every do and eventually moving to negatives
Whenever I have a shit day…I hit the Iron Wolf archive and get to work.
Well done bro 🐺🐺🐺
Same here mate
Art man, I feel for you brother. It sucks not being able to train to the level you have been able to in the past. I’m sure you know this already but, keep your head up Art man.

The truth! Put on that Bob Marley, get up, stand up!
Sorry to hear about the struggle, I hope you are doing okay.
I workout to your vids 5/7 days a week, have been for past 2/3 yrs. You got me hooked into kettlebells as well!
Wolfpack's with ya. Heal up man!
Stay strong brother. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that you have been a great source of inspiration on our fitness journey.
All I have To Say Is Thanks Wolf and Keep Pushing Brother God bless you and your Family
No matter how strong you are life hits you harder than you can take. Even as fucked up as you are now you are still in better shape than 99 percent of the world. I know thats hard to keep in perspective but lifes not over just because you cant do push ups as well any more. People out here so sick or so over weight they cant even do a single burpee.

Hello Art,
I'm sorry to hear about your injury, but I'm sure you will overcome this little obstacle on the way. You have nothing to prove, but we all know you have a strong mindset.
I've been following you for years, since the early days of the Wolf Pack, but well... these last few years have been hell for me and I've been in a very dark place in my mind. But here I am and I never stopped checking out what you were up to, to motivate myself to take control of my life. But you know what? NGAF ;)
Recover, step by step.
Greeting from Spain, maestro. (Maestro is “teacher” in Spanish).
Respect, brother.
The UK WolfPack stands besides you Iron Wolf.
This is Craig. I need you on the job full time...
DON'T GET HURT
Sir.
I found your channel 1 1/2 years ago. In that time I’ve had a complete body transformation. You pushed me to a whole another level. Your a true leader, you’ve inspired a whole pack of burpee warriors.
The ability to make those around you speaks volumes about your character.
Stand strong Wolf
The pack is with you
Hey Wolf take care of you. Don't over do it. My dad went back into training too hard to soon after shoulder problems. And then it messed it up for 2 years. Just take it slow. No matter how hard it seems now it will be worth taking it slow. All the best

Inspirational. Thanks for showing the workouts when you’re battling through injuries. Stay safe and strong. For those who’ve had issues there is always a way. And for those really in the ruts. Walk/hike/ruck. I literally just started doing pull-ups again after over a month off due to injury. Stay strong and live long everybody!
Best of energy to you man. Changed my life, those in my close circle, and many others. Wishing you a great recovery. Keep your head up.
Salute out to the Wolfpack

I'm writing this after my back locked up - haven't trained in 1 week (plus all the meds that come with it that are no good). I'll need to come back slowly and I know it'll be a slog. I'm looking forward to 4-6 months from now when I'll look back and would have 1. learned a lesson, 2. have something to share with others, 3. be even more in tune with my body. Wishing you a speedy recovery Art!
Salute sir!You are my inspiration and rolemodel.
You got me through lockdown mate - stay strong and you'll bounce back in no time. The muscle memory you have will be off the charts. You've got this.
love this way of working out.simple but humbling.great stuff man.greetz from Belgium
Hi Art, I know you will make it and you can push through the tough times. Not being able to do what you love, sucks. All the best!
Keep your head up Iron Wolf ! You'll get back to full capacity eventually and even more than before.
Salute from France
Great routine!
I dont know your exact diagnosis, but daily hanging has been crucial in fixing my shoulders. Took me 3yrs to become pain free.
Keep fighting💪
Keep plugging bro times the healer salute ❤
I thought I knew what grinding was till I learned from you the art of the burpee i couldn’t even hop to my feet till I started trading to your vids my whole world has changed thanks man. Alberta Canada in the house
Hi iron Wolf - you should buy some strong magnets and stick them on your shoulder - for magnetic therapy - I swear by it - it’s stimulates the blood flow around the area that’s injured - I’ve had great results - might be worth a try - big fan - all the best from Perth, Australia 👊
SALUTE WOLF! Thank you for sharing! Gotta stay at it no matter what.
always a pleasure to train along side the wolf!!! Im also recovering from an infection,lets keep punching!!! wolfpack strong!!!
good to see you Wolf! I love your living room by the way, no fluff no fancy shit!
I rolled my shoulder the other month and it took months to come back you gotta do yoga and stretch your arm daily. It was extremely painful to just put on a shirt and sleep on one side but i found it helpful for me to sleep on the floor instead of a bed. just take it easy on the workouts and instead of pull ups try dead hangs to stretch that arm out
Hey wolf. Keep the head up. I know how you feel and i can feel your frustration. Back in 2001 i had spinal fusion and mental pain was almost as bad as the physical pain. Stopped training for a long long time. eventually got back in to weights but the ability to move heavy stuff was long gone.
Back at the beginning of lockdown i discovered your channels just as the government were about to shut down the gyms here in Ireland. I fell back in love with training because of your methods and mentally and have been pushing it ever since.
So thank you wolf. You will recover. You will be back smashing it.
You got this
Hey Mr. ART you are the true inspiration and have been for a long time! This is a challange that once again will let you come out stronger on the other side again!
I am an athlete just like you, in your shoes I Would start foucusing only in swimming and doing the sauna! That combo does wonders its worth a try! We love you man, beeing the most diaiplined guy I follow, you are still human be kind to your self and your body, somtimes rest is the the best medecin for recovery ❤
Hey Art! Fantastic routine! Thank you for your words at the end! I've been following you for four years now and truly admire your dedication and expertise.
In 2017, I suffered from a severe herniated disc. I visited multiple doctors and received numerous opinions, all indicating that I would never be able to do my favorite sports again (boxing and kayaking). It took eight dark months for my recovery, during which I struggled to even put on my socks or walk properly.
However, when my physiotherapist suggested swimming, I went for a lot of laps. In 2019, I started boxing again, and by 2021, I was back on the water as a kayaker. Keep pushing forward bro and don't let the doubters discourage you! Keep your head up!
Cheer up Iron Wolf, better times are coming and I believe and think very strongly about you. As has been written many times, you have positively influenced the lives and mentality of many people around the world and you deserve a big thank you for that. Because of you I have had many great sporting experiences and even when it comes to pushing through, I have changed. I've mentioned the July Challenge several times. I even counted to 6 while I was falling asleep. Your statements like NGAF, embrace the suck and no fluff have certainly influenced many people and helped them achieve more performance and moments of happiness. Finally, I would also like to encourage you with a quote from you: Shit gets hard i get harder thats the bottom mind (Day 30 of 31 July Challenge). I wish you a good recovery so that you will stay with us for a long time. 🤝💯💨🔥
Embrace the suck! I’ve jacked up my rotator several times, give it time it will heal.
Not on the balcony this time? Great to see you back, man!
Hope the shoulder is healing up nicely! I had some impingement syndrome issue with my shoulder from may to about january, still stinging from time to time, but i lowered the workload... lots of running to compensate the missing movement. I think it was a stupid mistake from not warming up at all and hitting the pullup bars at a trip with some friends out in Prague! Burpees never did damage to me (maybe only my wrists, but that why i used the straps for longer workouts). Man your workout routines were insanely HEAVY back in 2021/22, but You gonna get back stronger and tougher!!!
💪💪
Glad to see you are back. Dealing with an arm injury of my own, think it's a tricep strain since early January. It's a mental hurdle I am trying to overcome and work out around.
Wolf my man, thanks for the work❤out
Glad you are back, big bro ❤
I’m an orthopedic doctor. Your push-up form is still damaging your shoulders. You need to pull your shoulders way down and to the back (as far away as possible from your neck). At the bottom especially. And try always to ice pack your shoulders after workout. And work on your shoulders mobility too, sir. Thanks always for your motivation!
Wishing you a speedy recovery Art. You got this! #teamironwolfhasitbest
Salute to the Wolfpack. Hang in there Art. You are going through a recovery mental workout/test that in time will make you even more resilient. Following your workouts helped me regain pride and stamina I thought were long gone. I also had a shoulder surgery/injury that took me close to a year to recover. I struggled to achieve a single push up for few month. Slowly with a Crossrope and pushups I eventually worked my way back to Wolfpack worthiness. Thank you for sharing your motivation; It’s a tough road, we are all rooting for you. Everyday you are closer to recovery.
Semper fi
@Art, following you multiple times a week since the pandemic, from home in the Netherlands. Unbeatable solid workouts. Take care, all the best 💪🫡
Your paste looks down, but that’s because we’re used to your inhuman rithm of before your injury!
Because I did this workout today, and it still took me a little short on 40 (while I’m at it for a few years now and no injury whatsoever 😅 )
Actually, my shoulder was very bad when I found your channel. Your vids on shoulder health, your inspiration to work hard with no excuses - and to do so with ONLY clean reps - were the biggest part of getting back in perfect shape!
Hope you’ll heal up too in a bit!
🤘🏼💪🏼
May God bless and protect you. You have been and are an inspiration. Thank you for your content.
Great workout as always! Hope the shoulder thing gets resolved soon. The Wolf will be back stronger!
Stay strong mate. I love the short workouts too tbh. With 2 kids i want to keep regular trainings (5 times per week) but time is limited. So short trainings videos are also appreciated. Salute!
I was the same Art, shoulder op in October and multiple physio sessions later on ACJ, back up to 100 burpees various pumps and supporting exercise with a fair bit of swimming now, its a long recovery man but getting there .. keep the head up, lean forward, it’ll come .. appreciate the continued postings
Might take a while but take care of your shoulder and you’ll be back to Rep City!
Salute !
I wish you to heal completely !
Thanks for your work ! All the sport you've been teaching here helped me a lot in my life, while quiting really bad thing like alcohol. I do burpee this morning. 100 rep. Good warmup, good stretch, everything i learn here. I will keep this knowledge with me over the years ! It make me a lot stronger in my mind and body than i was ! A complete change, day and night.
Strengh for you !
Iron Wolf 🐺💪 always glad to see you
Art just leave the ego @ the door. I was finally able to Keep up with you only coz u were injured. Just a thought but just adapt to different training routines to make up the difference. For Instance swimming, it's great for PT for that shoulder. I have tendonitis in my shoulders arthritis in my knees and my feet hurt but I'm grinding away. When you were out of commission I was 2. I was in a recovery center Recovery Ways in Murray UT for mental health so I'm still recovering, with you. Thanks for all your workouts present and past. ✌️
Have you checked out low frequency High Intensity Training to stay fit while injured? Saves your joints and gets the job done training once or twice a week.
Hi Art
Been thinking about you a lot lately man - I’ve had a shoulder injury - you’re at the early stages of yours - it’s just time - you’re killing it for how recently you got injured - I’m a bit old than you man - you’ve taught me so much about training - just remember this training thing is a marathon - you never feel like you’ll be back to the same you - but believe me you will - all the best brother
Salute to the wolfpack
Unfortunately everyone goes through what you’re going through Wolf man. Remember though you did it when you could do it and when you could you were a machine. An inspiration to many, I did a 1000 burpees push ups because of you. That video of the 500 navy seals played on my mind for years, so in the end I just had to do it, I trained for it and got it smashed out. Just like with everything in the Army we have to adapt and as you get older you have to adapt to what your body is telling you. Stay strong brother and rep when you can rep and rest when you need to rest.
Anyone who has never been injured hasn't done anything. Those who work very hard get very hurt.
Boss, keep your end up. Everything happens for a reason. We live, we learn we heal. You're gonna be good as new in time. You'll see.
Wolf, brother you are continuing on, at the end that's all that matters, is you keep grinding and staying consistent. Don't be hard on yourself when it's not needed. It would be needed if you totally gave up and didn't do anything. Bro you are still GETTING IT. I understand with being our biggest critiques, but I'm here to tell you, you are doing GREAT, lighten up on yourself for a bit and you too will see your doing just fine, just keep grinding like you do. No one stays young forever no matter how hard we work. Eventually everyone's mortality rate drops to 0.
I recently dusted off the crossropes and weighted ropes that you inspired me to buy...and started training.Those are pretty awesome. Amazing for recovery from injury! Weighted ropes unbroken for 5mins 2-4 times....insanely hard! Try it guys!
I will do it tomorrow!!
Climbing back up that Sunshine Mountain!
Came On!!!🤘💪
Man i feel your pain. Injuries are a part of age . Sooner or later we are going to feel its heavy hand. Keep it up
You're a beast bro. Keep in mind rest is part of the equation.
One of the greatest lessons I learned while doing your routines was to simply focus on the set right in front of me, and not the workout as a whole. If i saw that I had upwards of 1,000 reps to go, it would almost feel unattainable. So instead, I would force myself to think just do this set of 25, and then when that's done you drop a coin and do it again, and before you know it, it's over. Also, there was a time when I would watch your workouts and never imagine getting near the volume you were doing. So, I imagine in some ways you're in the same boat as a lot of the people watching you now. So, now we can all grow together.
Hello iron wolf 💪 🐺 good to see again, but please dont push it too soon, your body was at peak performance almost inhuman like and it needs a little rest now. We all can hear the sadness in your words, but please be strong soldier, we are all praying for you and wish you a good recovery! The Motivation you gave us all in the last years is unbroken, you are still the ultimate burpee machine! Take care and greetings from austria 😁
It hurts seeing you struggling with the situation. A little advice from a 50 year old guy serving more than 25 years in military and police SF. Get used to the decay of your body. Unfortunately it is unstoppable, and once you pass a certain age it´s becoming very obvious. I saw generations with the same background, about 90% of them were wrecked after all these years giving a fuxx about their bodys. The only thing you can do is to fight it with smart trainings and recovery. And so I am still doing your oldschool and brilliant high rep burpee routines 2 or 3 times a week. Awesome workout keeping me active and almost healthy. Thanks to you Art I´m pretty fit and also mentally strong. Be patient, train smart and recover. And you will be as fit as before pretty quick. Stay strong. Teufel Hunden!!!!
On a small side note, I got a gnarly pinched nerve in my upper left back it has healed mostly but every once in awhile it will inflame and cause major pain and discomfort, this has been going on for the past 3.5 years and at this point I know it will cause problems every so often, but you know we learn to live with it we adjust, adapt and move on. I get it can be a burden but it only can cause as much problem as you lend your mind to it.
Your a inspiration Art, I have also been recovering from a rotary cuff injury and I’m just getting back into burpee heaven. Had physio and for 2 Months now for the past 2 weeks just been building up my shoulder strength, this has been the perfect routine. Salute to you, I have also been struggling mentally, it’s gets you down when having any injuries that only time can heal. Keep going bro, you are the man, best fitness routine on the tube by far.🫡🇺🇸
Injury rehab is always frustrating. A top athletics coach I knew said a good thing is to use it to bring in other aspects which might not have been emphasised as much Then the period can be used as progress. It does not mean abandoning tge main stuff. Anyway your mental toughnes was always a huge plus for you.
Do you ever use kettlebells for movements like press, snatch, get up, squats? I only see you swinging... Tnx
Love the routine brother
Did you ever use clubbells for mobility exercises? I had issues with my shoulders recently and used a 5 kilo one to kind of unblock my shoulder, I noticed a direct effect
Just putting it out there in hope that your shoulder will recover soon
All the best wolf!
I love you man
If you need a proper break take it mate, starting again will be nothing for someone like you.
Am your student ..now am doing burpees almst daily
Any y'all know Bruce Lee's back injury story? Some lessons there sirs and ladies.

My lower back has been in a lot of pain because of doing burpees.
Mantente fuerte wolf eres el mejor un abrazo 🫂
Sarajevo pants 😂
Sorry for your injury. It's very strong.
Just wondering what can I do if I can't more than like 10 burpees and 0 pull-ups? How can I work towards getting my first pull up? Should I do negative? Should I do inverted rows How can i do a workout and build up to my first pull up mabe ten sets of 5 or 10 inverted rows with a burpee adding a burpee every do and eventually moving to negatives
Have you ever tried a wrestling conditioning workout
