@@adama9418 Same that him, I saw this 4 years ago and at the time I struggled going to the gym and reaching any goals. The way he explains in this video a method that both keeps you motivated AND doesnt put pressure on you makes it so much easier to live your life in a positive mindset and understanding that stuff takes time, but to do the little thing every day. For exemple instead of trying to do 3 insane sessions a week (didnt work as I would find a way to make excuses after getting exhausted) I did way more little ones where I would not be tired but pumped. Now i'm in great shape, stress way less about future goals so basically what he explains very clearly here
@@rayz1685 That's my noob question as well. It would seem I could be convinced that the guy going all out on Monday, despite doing less volume than the guy doing 5 per day, over time might gain more muscle or possibly strength through my rudimentary knowledge of "tearing and rebuilding" muscle. Can someone smarter than me tell me I'm wrong? I won't pretend to know.

Thank you . This guy is right !!! I’m 75 and went to a physical therapist and she would show me an exercise and then tell me go do 15 reps, 3 times . Well, I did it and I messed up my right titanium hip . This man is making sense. Do 5 reps and move in to another exercise keep it flowing from one exercise to the next . I had to rest my hip for a week and then start back into training but by building muscle slowly. It’s not a race !
I applied this training analogy to my Canadian Dental Skills exam and it helped me pass it. The exam criteria was stricter than acceptable work and margin of error being very little. The exam was 8 hours long x 2 days So I practiced every day continuously for 3 months. On the day of the exam, I worked continuously, sitting on the dental unit for 8 hours straight. Although I'm not into combat sport, during that time, I hiked a small hill in my city every day, 4- 5 km loop, to calm my head.l and my body to pull through the exam.
I had issues being consistent in the gym my whole adult life. For the last 10 years I started and stopped gym several times. The main thing that has stopped me has been injuries. Once I started this approach of taking it slow and consistent it is when I started having results.
This makes me happy sometimes I’m working out for 1 or 1 1/2 hours and I’m think I better be sore tomorrow morning but I wake up feeling no soreness and I’m thinking to myself I did not do enough reps but I’m trying this 3 day’s workout 1 day off and repeat. Thank you for this knowledge.
This approach really helps in combat sports. Training Muay Thai, our coach would push us to the absolute limit. And yes a lot of our fighters were in great shape. But they’d also miss quite a bit of class due to injuries or being sore and exhausted. I’ve been going toward the end of Thai class and taking the days drills and conditioning going at my own pace. Still getting drained but not to my absolute limit. I’m seeing more progress now because I can go everyday.
@Pritesh Divekar idk he was drunk so maybe this is an indicator of a lazy philosophy where you shouldn't force things... or else. Oh well, fuck that noise. Just learn to live with consequences.
At the same time there is something called “junk volume” which means if you’re not pushing your body to full exhaustion then it won’t grow. It has to be the right amount of force exerted to make the muscle grow
@Countryfucius comparing ourselves to legends like these is so utterly terribly wrong. Like.. Me comparing myself as an slightly advanced but totally regular-ass gym goer to Arnold, or Ronnie or anyone who's ever made it among these pro stars, is like comparing a load of concrete to the christ the redeemer. Even the era is so different, not even mentioning what they used as for enhancements. They're so on different level it would be a preposterous mistake to take their workout plans as an example. Lol. You should know what's good for you, and doing that what's best for you. Have your own head and not just copy someone just because he/she is successful.
I agree totally. There is no reason to even count reps. Work until you feel it burn a little and go onto the next exercise. Do multiple sets every night. Before you know it your doing a lot more reps than you realize. I get more energized after working out even though I feel my muscles burning but I am never worn out the next day. My body feels ready to work out again! This video is excellent advice !
@@hushpuppy1595 no it doesn't, it's been clinically proven that high intensity leads to more gains. That being said, you need a rest day. Thus a split or full body workout is the best method of excersise
@@kylemorrison6162 Yea I can see if you aren't going super intense during a class like BJJ, muay thai, boxing etc that a lower intensity method would be more beneficial so you keep going and learning. If your goal is to pack on muscle or increase endurance then you have to train to with High intensity.
@@kylemorrison6162 that's not the question, we're not talking about building muscle. We're talking about building skills, mainly fighting skills here, he said once or twice a week go all out, otherwise keep it 70% and build on your skills rather than just conditioning. I'm sure you've never actually tried this judging by your "it's been clinically proven" statement, but like he said, George st pierre would follow this and he's a legend in the game. I'm not saying the one day on and one day off max training doesn't work, but don't say this method doesn't work as well.
I think I legit cried a little listening to this. It makes so much sense. And the attitude that in order to get strong and get healthy requires working out till your sore has held me back so much my entire life. Screw that.
I almost tear a back muscle doing kipping pull ups while i trined crossfit, never did them againn and eventually changed my trining to something so much how this guys says (thank god for my actual coach), and after watching this i realized how much i injured myself for nothing because crossfit going to exaustion 3/4 times a week method and how actually what i do now is as good for trianing without the pain
Overdrive Music As far as I figure they’re working on different things at a base level. Firaz is aiming for muscle strength/endurance through training in volume Goggins trains the mentality, mental toughness and goes to let your mind be able to unlock the most potential mentally “going beyond your limits”
The thing is you need to max out only once: that is either in competition or if your life depends on it. Jocko willink the seal, was talking about it that what if we are in combat and a guy gets injured, and my commander tells me to carry him to safety, and i say, nah man i maxed out on 10 sets of squats yesterday,cant do that. You need to climb a rope to get to a high place, but you maxed out on pullups a few days before. Modern bodybuilding concepts are great for building a physique, but highly impractical for real life carry over
@@ilyassvids23 he has his own philosophy of training where he tries to break the barriers on his mind, thats not a bad thing if you want the results fast, but if you are training for longevity thats not good, what all these balls to the wall celebs and atheletes dont tell you is the amount of surgeries they go through in their 40s and above to fix the damage.
I've been working out forever, and this is the first time I've ever heard someone better articulate what I have always felt but never been able to properly express.
Im sort of new to working out at 43 years. I do push-ups aiming to a weekly total. Last week I did 1200 split Monday 205, Tues 150, Wed 500, Thur 0, Frid 200, Sat 150 and Sun 0. This week I'm going for 200x7 days 1400 to test this thing.
I’m new to working out at 17 and I don’t know how to apply these concepts perfectly to building strong muscle, could someone please explain? Like how often should I up the weight?
@@preztonH ...If you are newbie, it is hard to get it wrong. Just put in some effort. After a while, you will have a good understanding of where your limits are. Then your effort should be like 70% on a regular basis.
@@maxmatthew1379 If you go hard everyday then your overall maximum decreases to compensate for the fact that you are over training. Let's say you run 10 miles every day because that's your max. If you instead run 7 - 8 everyday then you could potentially reach 13-14 when you really wanted to go to your max because your body wouldn't be as taxed.
behamut92 it depends on the person. If you go to your max everyday, your max will definitely increase over time. Whether it’s at the same rate will depend on how well the person recovers.
Lee Haney. An 8X Mr Olympia would say that. He would push smart training, stimulation over just pushing alot of weight and risking injuries and beating up your body. He never got injured and retired on top. Seems healthy in his old age.
@@akuzielfire What he is saying is contrary to what Jeff says. He preaches intensity. TUT,proper technique, and lifting to FAILURE. Especially for muscle gain.
I really needed to hear this. So many times, I push myself to the limit, only to fall sick and then have to rest for a week (or more) to recover from this sickness. This time I took it slow, until I let my ego take over, and pushed hard for 2-3 days back-to-back. Guess what? I got a fever the next day, and have had to rest for far more time now to recover from it. It's time to focus on being more consistent and giving it a 7/10 every day than 10/10 every 2-3 days.
I agree with this but unfortunately it also depends on your schedule. For me, I have to go with high intensity with the every 2/3 days because I simply don’t have time to go everyday. So I have to make up for it. But I do wish I can slowly somehow start practicing this way instead.
David Goggins cares less about fitness and more about mental toughness. His focus isn’t on taking care of your body, most of what he does is unhealthy. This guy is talking about fitness.
@@jackmclane6961 I agree. David Goggins is the guy I listen to when I need a kick in the butt, and when I need to work on my discipline. But as far as actual fitness tips? He’s the last person I’d take advice from. Although, to be fair: He makes it a point to tell his listeners that the way he does things is what works FOR HIM, and that they shouldn’t try to emulate. He encourages people to do their own thing.
I actually applied this concept without knowing. I randomly tried to make my workouts fun. I'd do pyramid type of lifts. Increasing weight and lower reps if I felt a weight was too easy id do 3 sets on that same weight before increasing. By the end of the workout I'd have done tons of sets and I'd feel no soreness the next day. This increased my capacity overall in everyday life and any type of lifting itself. The weight I used to do 5 reps on I could do 8-10. Im currently doing hypertrophy focused training but I go all the way up to heavy weights lower reps then back down. I get gains in strength, performance, muscle and no soreness. I did back today deadlifts+Rows+ carries . I had an insane workout with tons of sets at different weights and I feel amazing. I don't feel tired at all. My capacity to squat, walk, run, bend, hold balance, last longer even in sex has increased.
This man saved my training career. I went from burning myself out every workout because of the “gotta work hard” mentality. It eventually caused me to hate working out, and I stopped training for weeks and months. I now train 50-70% of my max and I enjoying training. Getting great benefits from it, and I look forward to every workout instead of dreading it.
Ok, I'm curious though about the gains from this type of workout. Can you still put on muscle mass this way? I don't doubt people can get fit like this but I wonder if it slows your progress at all.
@@philipmartin3425 well supposedly 10-20 sets per week for each muscle group is enough to build muscle. So imagine you did, 3 sets per day close but not to failure. Youd be smashing that target. Personally never tried it and im no expert i just do my own version of the reddit recommended routine
relly nice Muslim muscular man and athletic remodel i advise to download this version of translation ( Sahih international Qur'an pdf ) IT IS FREE ON INTERNET and ask God Help and guidance with sincerity because you can't have this big blessing without a MERCY from Almighty ALLAH THEN IF YOU HAVE any questions you can ask me later
@@philipmartin3425 Unlikely. You need to be close enough to failure to cause a muscular adaptation. This idea is good for athletic and mental endeavors, but for trying to build muscle no. It doesnt matter how much volume you do if your body doesn’t experience the proper amount of mechanical tension
@Ivey 96 I'm not sure you really listened to him. I'd like to find some common ground, a place where you and I can agree so we can recognize our commonality, and then work together from there. You must be a caring person, to take the time to type, and for that you have my respect.
@Ivey 96 yes and no. I think that he understands the “stimulus to fatigue ratio”, and he’s just trying to simplify it. Sure, staying at a RPE of 5 is dumb, but I still think that he got his point across.

as a 205 lbs, 5'10 feet tall, 44 years old male, that never before did any exercise, this approach of doing exercises and stopping just in time before feels uncomforable, has helped me a lot. i haven't loss a lot of weight, havent gained a lot of strenght , but I can say I feel phisically better than before, more "elastic". and I can do exercises every day. I used to try and get myself to the limit every other day , and rest in between but recovery time was long and I always ended abandoning the routine. hope I made my self clear, and well sorry for my bad english.
You won't drop the weight until you cut out all the junk from your diet. We're close to the same age, but I'm a bit taller. Like you, I have never really exercised. (I've been saying for years that when I do, this video will be my guide; plus, I have Pavel's books, which are terribly written, but perhaps a necessary exercise in patience in itself, but I digress...) For the last 20-ish months I have been on a very high animal fat/protein diet, only really making sure to keep my carbs under 25 grams, and have gone from 315 to 205. I won't try to dispute that at least a little exercise would have been beneficial over the same period, but I didn't need it to lose weight. I have literally sat on the couch for the last year and a half and eaten pork rinds and hamburgers. Sorry. I get a little caught up sometimes. I just have to put it out there that as a society we're almost done talking about "calories," and that's going to be great.
Waking up early changed my life.. Seriously !! Everything is done by the time I go to work. Then I come home ,have time to go shopping and cook healthy food. I just seem to have so much extra time. At the start it was difficult to go to bed at 9pm I felt like I was missing out on stuff but that all changed.. Stick at it man.
@David Townshend I did all of those things, it was not until i paid someone for actual private lessons that all of my misconceptions were corrected though. Most people do avocado Tai Chi so you have to be careful even then.
I am a functional fitness trainer and this is one the hardest concept for some of my athletes to understand. It just people want instant gratification, we’ve lost the art of patience in these days. Well worded.
I agree. There is this idea that you need to go to the gym and go balls to the wall. Lift the most weight possible, run the fastest you can, less focus on form and more on simply doing more. That's an easy way to burn yourself out of anything. It'll make you hate whatever you're doing. I like his take on crossfit.
I wish we did that in europe, but instead of that the pe teachers where I live just give you a soccer ball let you create teams and play while the teacher is on his phone.
@@angeldejko8842 I don't really care about what Joe sees through... to be honest I don't even think Joe reads they comments... I'm just curious about this guy's mentality... like what happened to him to come to such a conclusion....
i lovecars so basically lessen the high intensity with training whether its calisthenics or actual weightlifting? Is he serious? I can do less reps for each exercise everyday? Im trying to get the V shape to my back since i have a 32 inch waist but my lats still need to develop more and mature
The point is to maximise your total training volume for the week or the month. If you're training two, three, seven times more often, you're logging more reps, you're moving more weight, and you're getting more work done overall. Training frequency trumps training intensity every time.
Love how open minded Joe is. You could start a conversation about something Joe does not believe at all, but shows respect, hears the persons arguments, and like all good arguments can find something to relate to or useful information
Michael Newman I see your point, but I think you miss what I mean. You should always show respect and be open to all arguments, otherwise you will be stuck and never change. Hear all points and arguments, and make an educated choice on the evidence what you believe is true... otherwise if you are so stubborn to never hear people’s arguments respectfully, you are the definition of ignorance
@@swagboy4075 People want to see results, if there is no intensity the results are almost none existent or take far to long to show and any habit will die very quickly. There is no easy way to do it, hard work is required for the results and timescale the vast majority of people are looking for, his theory looks good on paper but in reality it's intensity that gets the best results.
I'm amazed at the idea or philosophy behind this concept. It makes sense and seems very practical. The first time I'm hearing this and I'm enthusiastic to apply it.
Ever since I seen this this guy's wisdom has stuck in my mind. This method can be applied to virtually anything and can improve so many lives in so many ways. What a little treasure of a video clip
I did 8 pushups times 10 with 2 minutes rest because my max was around 16 3-4 times per week with one restday inbetween after two weeks+- my max rep is 25+ and it goes way easier now
I think being consistent is a good thing but pairing it with the intensity is just unbeatable. I just can't wrap my mind aroud if you go to the gym and you doing half reps of max reps for every exercise is the best for you. Best science based method is know as Progressive overload and has been researches and papers all over how your body reacts to it and it has the best results.
I was literally thinking of farmer strength and then Joe said it. I grew up on a dairy farm and it's amazing what carrying feed pales and throwing haybales every single day at chore time for roughly 15 years growing up will do to you. Hard work is good for you. And doing it with your family alongside you is a great way of life. I am very grateful to have grown up on dairy farm. I often kick myself for not taking the farm over and raising my kids on the farm.
I had a friend growing up that did a lot of farm work and boy was he strong....I worked with him a few times and was amazed about the strength involved in that work...I respect it
@Joshua Bailey How? Unless you train only twice a week you can't train hard for longer than 45min. Reason I say twice a week is because personally I've been able to train hard for up to an hour ONLY when I hadn't trained days before....I train to my limits everday for around 25-40min...some of that time is jumprope and or mobility. I simply don't see how it's possible to extend weight training intensity(every set till failure) for longer than 45min every day. Unless you split it into 2 workouts but the recovery is no cake walk either.
I'm not saying that Jeff''s wrong, I'm just saying that his advice regarding doing every set till failure is contradictory to what Firas is preaching. I'm not saying either of them is right or wrong. They could be talking about two different circumstances for as far as I know
Jeff promotes going to failure because he does not want people to be in the gym for 2 hours. If you're willing to train that long you can go heavier, not necessarily to failure and rest longer between sets. It all depends on what you want and what you are willing to do, as Elliott Hulse once said.
Rewatching this years later. I applied this philosophy to my quilting years ago and it helped me actually get far more done in the span of a year than I'd done over the previous two decades. This philosophy is MORE than just for effective exercise. This is effective for just about anything you want to achieve in life.
@@HenryDube72 Just bc you don’t go so hard to the point where you are suffering and sore the next day doesnt mean that you dont get stronger with that easier workout over time. You still get stronger over time, and as you get stronger you can increase your sets or reps or weight etc. because youre new “easy workout” is at higher rate than your initial easy workout
@Gettin' Stitchy Thanks for your comment. I was only looking at this advice from a physical point of view but now I'm thinking about my school work from this point of view too lol
You need to work out your muscles to failure though, I get working out light when you first start, but the whole doing five pull-ups a day seems like it won't yield many results.

------------------------------------------
Progressive training without excessive soreness
- Training at a manageable exertion level prevents excessive soreness
- Volume of training over time determines overall progress
Flow training is important for reaching mastery in any activity.
- Flow training helps in achieving a state of flow, where time flies by and you are fully engaged.
- A state of flow occurs when the challenge level is just right, not too difficult or too easy.
- Training should be enjoyable and pleasurable to make it addictive and increase consistency.
- Consistency in training is more important than intensity, which should be done occasionally.
- Consistency and flow training are key to reaching mastery.
Sprinting and weight lifting at maximum intensity requires breaks for recovery.
- Sprinters in the world sprint once or twice a week.
- Taking breaks after maximum effort ensures true maximum intensity.
- Overtraining can lead to body breakdown and reduced performance.
- Russian wrestlers train with long consistent practices, leading to greater success.
The Russians and the Cubans have a more playful and technically advanced approach to training in wrestling and boxing.
- The intensity of training is less important than the volume.
- The Russians focus heavily on technique in their training.
- The Cubans spar without headgear and on concrete, but injuries are rare.
- There is a time and place for intensity in training.
Consistent training leads to increased energy, mood, and addiction to training.
- Training should be a 7/10 intensity and done daily for more training hours and a spiked metabolism.
- Types of training include Jitsu, wrestling, muay thai, and some conditioning.
- Enjoyment and fun are key in training, with strength and conditioning done after practice.
- Different athletes may have different definitions of strength and conditioning.
General fitness is important for overall health and to reach new levels of athleticism.
- Specific fitness focuses on improving performance in a particular sport.
- To prevent muscle imbalances, it's necessary to stimulate muscles that may not be used in your specific sport.
- Exercises like squats, kettlebell swings, and hurdles can help improve stability and strength.
- Sprinting and the beep test are effective cardio workouts that translate well to sports.
- Tabata workouts can be beneficial if done properly and without creating excessive soreness.
- CrossFit's emphasis on fatigue-seeking can be counterproductive for building skills and mastery in a specific sport.
CrossFit workout and recovery
- CrossFit workouts can tax the body
- Recovery is important for optimal performance
- Top CrossFitters follow a 70-85% intensity rule
- Gymnastics can benefit CrossFit athletes with bodyweight exercises and coordination
- Part-time training limits progression in jiu-jitsu
- CrossFit athletes should avoid going all out every day
Consistency over intensity in training is key.
- Training at a high intensity every day leads to burnout and the need for rest.
- Champions focus on long-term training and consistent workouts.
- Young athletes should avoid coaches who try to burn them out.
- Gentle training initially helps build trust before ramping up intensity.

Thank you . This guy is right !!! I’m 75 and went to a physical therapist and she would show me an exercise and then tell me go do 15 reps, 3 times . Well, I did it and I messed up my right titanium hip . This man is making sense.
Do 5 reps and move in to another exercise keep it flowing from one exercise to the next .

I applied this training analogy to my Canadian Dental Skills exam and it helped me pass it. The exam criteria was stricter than acceptable work and margin of error being very little. The exam was 8 hours long x 2 days
So I practiced every day continuously for 3 months.
On the day of the exam, I worked continuously, sitting on the dental unit for 8 hours straight.
Although I'm not into combat sport, during that time, I hiked a small hill in my city every day, 4- 5 km loop, to calm my head.l and my body to pull through the exam.

This approach really helps in combat sports. Training Muay Thai, our coach would push us to the absolute limit. And yes a lot of our fighters were in great shape. But they’d also miss quite a bit of class due to injuries or being sore and exhausted. I’ve been going toward the end of Thai class and taking the days drills and conditioning going at my own pace. Still getting drained but not to my absolute limit. I’m seeing more progress now because I can go everyday.

@@kylemorrison6162 that's not the question, we're not talking about building muscle. We're talking about building skills, mainly fighting skills here, he said once or twice a week go all out, otherwise keep it 70% and build on your skills rather than just conditioning.

Goggins trains the mentality, mental toughness and goes to let your mind be able to unlock the most potential mentally “going beyond your limits”
The thing is you need to max out only once: that is either in competition or if your life depends on it.
Jocko willink the seal, was talking about it that what if we are in combat and a guy gets injured, and my commander tells me to carry him to safety, and i say, nah man i maxed out on 10 sets of squats yesterday,cant do that.

@@maxmatthew1379 If you go hard everyday then your overall maximum decreases to compensate for the fact that you are over training. Let's say you run 10 miles every day because that's your max. If you instead run 7 - 8 everyday then you could potentially reach 13-14 when you really wanted to go to your max because your body wouldn't be as taxed.
@@behamut92 but if I go 10 then slowly increase I could go higher faster

Firas Zahabi is a mastermind
I really needed to hear this. So many times, I push myself to the limit, only to fall sick and then have to rest for a week (or more) to recover from this sickness. This time I took it slow, until I let my ego take over, and pushed hard for 2-3 days back-to-back. Guess what? I got a fever the next day, and have had to rest for far more time now to recover from it. It's time to focus on being more consistent and giving it a 7/10 every day than 10/10 every 2-3 days.
I agree with this but unfortunately it also depends on your schedule. For me, I have to go with high intensity with the every 2/3 days because I simply don’t have time to go everyday. So I have to make up for it. But I do wish I can slowly somehow start practicing this way instead.
I'd like to hear a discussion between him and David Goggins.

goggins isn't healthy nor is his mentality. its catabolic. no disrespect to him, but most people aren't him and never will be
I actually applied this concept without knowing. I randomly tried to make my workouts fun. I'd do pyramid type of lifts. Increasing weight and lower reps if I felt a weight was too easy id do 3 sets on that same weight before increasing. By the end of the workout I'd have done tons of sets and I'd feel no soreness the next day. This increased my capacity overall in everyday life and any type of lifting itself. The weight I used to do 5 reps on I could do 8-10. Im currently doing hypertrophy focused training but I go all the way up to heavy weights lower reps then back down. I get gains in strength, performance, muscle and no soreness. I did back today deadlifts+Rows+ carries . I had an insane workout with tons of sets at different weights and I feel amazing. I don't feel tired at all. My capacity to squat, walk, run, bend, hold balance, last longer even in sex has increased.
I love him. What he said about pull ups.
This man saved my training career. I went from burning myself out every workout because of the “gotta work hard” mentality. It eventually caused me to hate working out, and I stopped training for weeks and months. I now train 50-70% of my max and I enjoying training. Getting great benefits from it, and I look forward to every workout instead of dreading it.
Ok, I'm curious though about the gains from this type of workout. Can you still put on muscle mass this way? I don't doubt people can get fit like this but I wonder if it slows your progress at all.
@@philipmartin3425 well supposedly 10-20 sets per week for each muscle group is enough to build muscle. So imagine you did, 3 sets per day close but not to failure. Youd be smashing that target.

as a 205 lbs, 5'10 feet tall, 44 years old male, that never before did any exercise, this approach of doing exercises and stopping just in time before feels uncomforable, has helped me a lot. i haven't loss a lot of weight, havent gained a lot of strenght , but I can say I feel phisically better than before, more "elastic". and I can do exercises every day. I used to try and get myself to the limit every other day , and rest in between but recovery time was long and I always ended abandoning the routine. hope I made my self clear, and well sorry for my bad english.
You won't drop the weight until you cut out all the junk from your diet.
We're close to the same age, but I'm a bit taller. Like you, I have never really exercised. (I've been saying for years that when I do, this video will be my guide; plus, I have Pavel's books, which are terribly written, but perhaps a necessary exercise in patience in itself, but I digress...)
For the last 20-ish months I have been on a very high animal fat/protein diet, only really making sure to keep my carbs under 25 grams, and have gone from 315 to 205.
I won't try to dispute that at least a little exercise would have been beneficial over the same period, but I didn't need it to lose weight. I have literally sat on the couch for the last year and a half and eaten pork rinds and hamburgers.
Sorry. I get a little caught up sometimes. I just have to put it out there that as a society we're almost done talking about "calories," and that's going to be great.

The point is to maximise your total training volume for the week or the month. If you're training two, three, seven times more often, you're logging more reps, you're moving more weight, and you're getting more work done overall. Training frequency trumps training intensity every time.
This is nonsense if you want to be a body builder

There is no easy way to do it, hard work is required for the results and timescale the vast majority of people are looking for, his theory looks good on paper but in reality it's intensity that gets the best results.
I'm amazed at the idea or philosophy behind this concept. It makes sense and seems very practical. The first time I'm hearing this and I'm enthusiastic to apply it.
This was much needed, Thank you guys..
Ever since I seen this this guy's wisdom has stuck in my mind. This method can be applied to virtually anything and can improve so many lives in so many ways. What a little treasure of a video clip
This is the true gold in this video right here.
Bullshit!
@@raphaelvidmar3366 ?
Yes! I thought the same thing.
I did 8 pushups times 10 with 2 minutes rest because my max was around 16 3-4 times per week with one restday inbetween after two weeks+- my max rep is 25+ and it goes way easier now
Consistency over intensity! Good point! That can be applied to almost anything
Except sex squidward... except sex....
Should have both, good to throw in a super intense workout in to spark to muscles on occasion.
except muscle growth
I think being consistent is a good thing but pairing it with the intensity is just unbeatable. I just can't wrap my mind aroud if you go to the gym and you doing half reps of max reps for every exercise is the best for you. Best science based method is know as Progressive overload and has been researches and papers all over how your body reacts to it and it has the best results.
Only it isn't a good point at all, consistency and intensity are both possible if you simply rotate your muscle groups.
I watch this video at the end of every vacation
Probably the smartest Discussion ive heard on Fitness.
I was literally thinking of farmer strength and then Joe said it. I grew up on a dairy farm and it's amazing what carrying feed pales and throwing haybales every single day at chore time for roughly 15 years growing up will do to you. Hard work is good for you. And doing it with your family alongside you is a great way of life. I am very grateful to have grown up on dairy farm. I often kick myself for not taking the farm over and raising my kids on the farm.
I had a friend growing up that did a lot of farm work and boy was he strong....I worked with him a few times and was amazed about the strength involved in that work...I respect it
YOLO! Get your family to a farm somehow!
you should kick yourself for that
Farmer’s strength is such a good example for this
I used to love going to your Dad's farm when I was a kid. He taught me a lot about my body.
"You can train hard or you can train long, but you can't do both!"
- Jeff Cavalier
@Joshua Bailey How? Unless you train only twice a week you can't train hard for longer than 45min. Reason I say twice a week is because personally I've been able to train hard for up to an hour ONLY when I hadn't trained days before....I train to my limits everday for around 25-40min...some of that time is jumprope and or mobility. I simply don't see how it's possible to extend weight training intensity(every set till failure) for longer than 45min every day. Unless you split it into 2 workouts but the recovery is no cake walk either.
He also says as you have mentioned "do every set till failure" so... idk
@@sabarsherzad Jeff hasn't led me astray in the 3 years I've been lifting.
I'm not saying that Jeff''s wrong, I'm just saying that his advice regarding doing every set till failure is contradictory to what Firas is preaching. I'm not saying either of them is right or wrong. They could be talking about two different circumstances for as far as I know
Jeff promotes going to failure because he does not want people to be in the gym for 2 hours. If you're willing to train that long you can go heavier, not necessarily to failure and rest longer between sets. It all depends on what you want and what you are willing to do, as Elliott Hulse once said.
This makes me feel better about not going all out and feeling like I didn’t do enough
This makes all the sense to me.
Rewatching this years later. I applied this philosophy to my quilting years ago and it helped me actually get far more done in the span of a year than I'd done over the previous two decades. This philosophy is MORE than just for effective exercise. This is effective for just about anything you want to achieve in life.
Is it effective in building muscle because I hear muscles relax when they get used to a static number of sets.
@@HenryDube72 Just bc you don’t go so hard to the point where you are suffering and sore the next day doesnt mean that you dont get stronger with that easier workout over time. You still get stronger over time, and as you get stronger you can increase your sets or reps or weight etc. because youre new “easy workout” is at higher rate than your initial easy workout
@@TigreCorazon thanks, problem is watching too much of these gym pros leaves you confused lol.
Ok fattie
@Gettin' Stitchy Thanks for your comment. I was only looking at this advice from a physical point of view but now I'm thinking about my school work from this point of view too lol
At the start i was all like: "Convince me dumbass..."
And at the end I was totally on his side.
😂😂😂
Me too
Just because you called him a dumbass that speaks volumes for you:)
You need to work out your muscles to failure though, I get working out light when you first start, but the whole doing five pull-ups a day seems like it won't yield many results.
This guys is george st pierres coach, sooooo i listened even tho i was skeptical at first
Its true what hes sayingi also find if i exercise too much i binge eat and feel really tired, light and regular makes me feel better
I've been trying his way and it works
