How many times did I say Basic in this episode? Winner gets a free program :)
If we count only 'basic', it would be just once. However, if we count with 'basics' too, it will be a total of 5 times.
5 times (or 7 including the two basicallys) ;)
Basic were just Said once, IF you count in basics and basically it is said 7 times ;)
excluding "basically", I counted 5 times
Tom Merrick 8 if you include basically :)
I been doing basic all year, turning 40 in 2 months. So, i finally realized that i dont need to get stronger and stronger every year but find my weakness and make those my focus of strength.
I believe that the fastest way to injure yourself is to neglect the basics, and you won’t really be able to value the basics enough until you actually experience the consequence of neglecting them.
Since I gained elbow tendinosis in May, my progress recently has still been fairly solid as I recover from my chronic injury...all by just sticking to the basics. Injuries will also likely lead to other issues (as Tom mentioned), and it seriously isn’t worth chasing short term highs, as I’ve learnt...it leads to long term disasters!
Always think long term with your training. The basic stuff allows you to do the sexy stuff. Skip it, and you’ll regret it. 👍
As a sub 3 hour marathon runner who was out with plantar fasciitis for 18 months I can echo that.
Getting sloppy with the basics is the road to injury.
Go 2 bed
truth :)
Oh yes! Basics. In everything I've done that applies. Bruce Lee said it 40 years ago. Fear the man who has practiced 1 kick 10,000 times not a man with 10,000 kicks.
Yessssssss bring the vlogs back. Looooove it!
I started on my stretching and releasing journey 7 years ago... You showed me that there is a next level after climbing out of the hole of having locked up joints and muscles. Thank you.
Good, video! Being a ballet dancer and an acrobat as well I had a terrible knee injure back in 2009, due to pushing myself too hard while not eating or resting properly. I was in a dance company at the moment and they cancelled my contract, bottom line is through rehab (after surgery) I learned A LOT about my body and my temper (wich we should never think as separated things) and it gave me a new way of training with new understanding and RESPECT for my body that after 9 months it allowed me to come back to dance and acrobatics till now with no problems. Injuries force you to learn and grow. Keep the good work Tom!
Nice to hear your recovered! Loved the video!! Nice to see what happens on your training sessions etc. Thanks!
2 + months later of doing your basic stretching exercises and beginner yoga has made a massive difference with this 65 year old guy. I now go to the gym and work out with weights as well and starting to see a small difference. Feel so much better. I'm the 30 mile/day bicyclist and realized just bicycling was inadequate. Glad you're back as your inspirational and thanks for the motivation! Keep it up.....
Nice. Really appreciate the update. I knew you’d been injured a while but not the details or duration. I’ve been injured all of 2018 after not doin resistance for a long while and going into full body 3x/wk and doing too many pull ups and rows and getting overuse injury too. I wanted to do some ninja comps this year so that went out the window. I tried to train through it but that failed and so have been doing just rehab since end of July. Slow process and I finally think things going in right direction. I can do 3 pull ups and not feel sore and rehab is 3 sets 12 DB curls at 7.5kg. I am also now into my 9th week of conditioning 3 x / wk with horizontal tyre dragging HIIT circuit training. We just have to be so dedicated to rehab. I’ve also got a hamstring and Achilles’ tendon issues which I’m nursing so no running or warped wall. I’m also your build.
Very excited for the weekly upload
Congrats on pushing through on your journey back
Hi, Tom, your videos help me so much thanks. Please don't stop making them. And I hope you get better soon friend!
Congratulations! happy for you
Good for you Tom! Congratulations.
I am ancient... But have always loved the pursuits of exercise, health and especially natural nutrition. I want to tell that after a lifetime of being mindful of my body, mind, spirit health, I still eventually succomed to genetic predisposition. Buggar! 😱. There are days when I can barely move..... But I know a 5 second plank or a 10 second stretch is better than nothing... And your past catalogue of videos inspire me to do what I can. You talk sense and I know you know what's what. I thank you for this. Now, listen to your body and don't overdo it again.... Consider yourself reprimanded 😂 Sending everything good your way. 😇.
Thanks Moira, that's the plan! And absolutely yes, something is always better than nothing :)
Woohooo glad to see you back!!! And feeling better from your injury!!
Thanks for this Tom - I've been having issues with a recurring injury that I've been getting frustrated with and your words and your journey back to full health has inspired me. Thanks again mate.
YES! I've been rewatching the old vlogs the last couple of weeks. It's soo good to hear you're continueing to do them;) Tom. You're the best
And it's of course great to hear that you're feeling well again!
This has been my favourite youtube channel for a while now and I've just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you for putting out such amazing content for free. I'd really like to show support by getting some merch in the near future.
Also, so glad to see you being back on track. :)
Love the new merch, just bought a t-shirt. Love the channel :)
Nice to see you getting better. Still fighting my golfers elbow, but now i moved from eccentrics to positive + negative exercises and i think i feel progress.
Great to hear that the weekly vlogs are back, love them! ...got chest pain while doing dips / pressing movements (aka costocondritis) since 2 months now. It's slowly getting better, but still feels a long way to go. Not only in training but also in rehab you have to be consistent with your practice. Can't wait to start building up my foundation again. Anyone experienced this before and also cured it? :)
Thanks for sharing this.
Keep them videos coming.
I can safely & honestly say you bring sth new only occasionally. And that's exactly how fitness...(and life, really..) is all about.
Most of the times I just watch your stuff..in order to helping me keep grounded, humble, and .. focused on the core things _ the basic things. ;)
A handful of screenshots from your old 5mins and 20mins stretching routines have been on my wall, where I train..for a couple of years now.
Thank you for that and its good to see you at 100%.
Kudos to you for not letting your motivation & will power..crash while on the recovery period.
PS: Those black t-shirts are looking pretty dope too ;)
I dislocated my left shoulder years ago and still have some mobility problem,your video about increasing that mobility helped me alot,btw after 8 months i discovered climbing and since then i never had any real problems with my shoulder,i always try to go back to the basics once in a while to really have full control on what is happening!
glad you're back man!!
Glad you're back! Looking forward to more flexibility follow-alongs!
Yo Tom, glad you back and killing it!! I was wondering how often you can train handstand? Its become a bit of an obsession and i am busting like everyday. :D
Wow, I was following you back then and cannot believe that was two years ago. Nice job continuing the hard work to get all the way back.
thanks for the support and sticking around :)
glad you've recovered :)
Great to have you 'back' dude
Wow everything in the video is uplifting especially the music!
You should make a "mobility program" app something like get more flexible in a month or something like that... Congrats on your comeback :)
I'm 56 and started with karate back in the 70's. I later did yoga and have had a crack at everything like weights etc. I now stick to body weight exercises and recently bought some rings. Already I can see you gotta be damn careful as wrists, tendons and shoulders are put under tremendous strain. My Dr even said to me to be very careful about one arm style exercises as you can damage shoulder tendons. I'm just doing very basic hangs and sticking to static holds at the moment. I appreciate your openness about your injuries. If you do rupture tendons it can take months and months to recover. I've known some tough, strong bastards but our boy Daniel from fitness faq is a bit of a genetic mutant if you ask me. Not many humans have that type of strength.
I recently installed stall bars in my apartment and am always looking out for new exercises to do on them. Do you use stall bars in your training and if so, will you show some of the exercises in one of the upcoming videos?
Love your videos! Keep it up :)
Congrats on the program (I’m signed up) and congratulations on being back!
Is it worth the money? Thanks.
Marin Bošnjak I think so, yes.
Wow. You had practically the same injury that i had 10years ago.. which stopped me from training until recently. Also developed it from overdoing the OAP and starting prematurely. Ur video has reminded me not to do OAP until i can master all 2 handed variations weighted with full ROM and with much improved wrist and forearm stength and flexibilty. Cheers.
160K Love your progress. Nice video as always. Inspiring. Thanks Tom.
I have a bad left shoulder that has dislocated doing front levers, base ball, surfing and powerlifting due to an injury i sustained when i was 2 and just pushing myself too hard.
I got into climbing at some point and was able to boulder up to 7A+ grade, which in terms of bodyweight training is the equivalent to a solid front lever or OAC, speaking of which i was able to do 1 OAC at the time.
Living and progressing with injuries is an art, i think what has helped me continue on without too much setback since my last injury is just continuing to expose your injured body part to a variety of stimuli while respecting the fact that it needs rest. I tackle rehabilitation the same way i tackle working out, flexibility, volume, intensity. Progress slowly, prioritize rest and decreasing pain untill you don't even feel uncomfortable doing an exercise before progressing to something more difficult.
Oh and warming up is MANDATORY.
I got shoulder impingement since january. Months and months felling pain and trying to do rotator cuff exercises, and now i think i'm virtually recovered. Rings helped a lot
I love those prints. I'm a big James Bond fan. Which is your favorite film?
This is good advice, keep rehabilitating after you think you are OK. Often joint swelling will go down which stops pain but the joint may still be damaged. I'm still recovering from impingement in my shoulder after 2 years :-/
Started from the bottom, and now he’s back to the top!! 👍🔥
FINALLY!!!
I agree with the injury comments - it was strength training for me it was running and I developed Plantar Fasciitis and it took 18 months to recover would have been 6-12 if I had done my rehab well past the initial recovery
Good advice as ever from yourself
Been feeling pain in my elbows the past week, do you got any suggestion to what i should do to prevent long-term injury? strengthen shoulders and wrist?
I've dislocated my left shoulder a couple of times and it is prone to subluxation occasionally, Shoulder mobility and strengthening exercises are part of my daily routine to try and mitigate it as much as possible. Because I kept training and "pushed" through the issue, I've developed a number of imbalances. I've started doing the Body by Rings program and I'm hoping to iron out some of those imbalances with some unilateral work. Any Advice for me going forward?
Why handstands on the mat? To keep continuity when in different locations? Allow fingers to go better? Great content as always dude
How many times a week did you train the one arm pull up before the injury?
Well done man. Golfers elbow has had me out for two and a half months managed ten reps on chin ups today. It was either that exercise or the diamond pushups that caused it. Btw Roger Moore was the best James Bond 😂. Keep up the vids.
Congrats.. I'm on 2 years 1 month now, still longggg way for my GE
Hey tom..do u have a video or link u can share regarding ur supraspanateous injury...thank u,im a big fan
Tom, I have golfers elbow in both of my elbows, I have had it for a while, I would really want to know what kind of things you did to overcome this condition (I know everybody is different so what worked for you may not necessarily work for me) but I would still want to know
Thank you brother!!
I have a video already on it here: czcams.com/video/4WSwGqhmi-M/video.html I'm putting together a review for it shortly :)
Glad you're okay now
I used handmaster plus to get rid of my tennis elbow. Apparently it was a muscle imbalance where my extensors were weaker than my grip strength. Fixed me up.
Can u make a video how to get one arm chin up safely if so that would be great thx
Sean Connery being a badass check.
Nice man
JaJaj 5 Basic And 8 down below...but is ok you are part of my Thursday And Sundays # 1
I think its important to use weights to keep injury free. Reverse curls and overhead tricep pushdowns will keep the tendons strong.
I had my shoulder dislocate 3 times putting me out of training for months every single time I actually managed to get the one arm pull up on both hands tho without working for it so I guess I am lucky
in july 2017 I started feeling pain while working out especially when doing pike push ups and assisted wall push ups. I reduced the intensity of my workout so that I could keep going. After 9 months approximately I completely stopped working out. Then the real pain begun. the complete right side of my body started to hurt like hell. I've been doing physio therapy, osteopathy, yoga etc. nothing helped. My under back, chest, the hole arm (kind of an emission until the begining of the little finger), hip, knee and thigh are killing me, I can't even walk without feeling pain at times. does anyone have some advice for me?
0 dislikes. Quality content.
Just go for the higher rep ranges, demonstrating strength is different from building strength. Doing 30 pull-ups in a row with strict form is also impressive and al lot safer then 1 or 2 reps with the OAP.
I have been down the same road, it’s a sure fire way to snap city.
Cheers.
id love to know what your opinion about creatin is!
do you have a good link for tips on medial epicondylitis? my right elbow is acting up
One more thing I'd say is there is a fine line between hard training and over training. I think in the old days it was 'no pain no gain' but most of the old karate guys including myself have arthritis from bad training methods. My two best friends are yoga masters and I showed them a video by that guy named Sky. My friend immediately said that guy is going to wreck either his shoulders or back. It seems he did badly injure himself. My advice is to always just listen to your OWN body. As Clint Eastwood said - "a man must know his limitations" Age has taught me two valuable lessons about execise- have patience and develop a routine you'll actually do all the time without quitting.
Injuries suck. I've been in a bad place for a couple of months now, I enjoy training my handstand the most out of everything calisthenics but I'm not able to train it. Some muscles are over active than others and my body is going to one side. (its not just bad form as my handstands were straight before) I can't seem to stretch and release the muscles whatever I do :@ I've seen movement coaches, physios, osteos, yumeiho therapy and everyone just keeps saying different things. Its sooo frustrating..
Only watch the videos for your dog really 🐶
Love the 50fps
Great Tom! i have golfers elbows in both of my elbows too...
Anthony 1987 fkcing hate your profile pic i always fall for it thinking its hair in my screen
Anthony 1987 i think i have elbow tendinitis how do you heal it?
@@TheCarloslucerna
Friction. You can Google it.
This is a therapist remedy. After that use ice cold bricks.
@@TheCarloslucerna Gradual progressive loading.
Rory Bray what is that?
U, the record holder, and myself are the only people I've seen that use that one arm chinup technique. Everyone else does the pull-up version from what I've seen.
Except you rotate a bunch. I try to face the bar throughout but I don't always fully deadhang because (ironically) of a wrist injury
Well i think your fucking awesome and would be a hell of a cool guy to know (Y)
can you give me some requirements for oap?
From 20kg weighted dips I got the exact injuries Fitness FAQs explains in this vid czcams.com/video/oj6MNlqkRfA/video.html. Costo cartritis or whatever. The injury came mostly from ending in the bottom position with the dip and then stepping out of it.
I just left dips for 3 weeks, then went back to bodyweight dips for 5 weeks. Doing the weighted dips again now and I'm able to do more reps than I could initially, maybe because my basics are better.
Instead I worked on my handstand and pushups and using rings for training the chest. It was a great opportunity to look for new exercises.
Doesn't time just fly Tom.
trying to check out the new program but the page just says, “Internal Server Error.”
Yeah, just had a few issues but should be fixed if you refresh the page or use chrome :)
Ma quanto sei bello 😁
Elbow pain lol
Try living with a herniated disc
