- What's up, it's Chris Heria, welcome to another vlog.
This has been a highly requested video
in the comment section.
Today I'm going to be showing you how to turn off gravity
and unlock superhuman strength.
I've made many videos with advanced calisthenics exercises,
like the one arm pull up and Planche pushups.
And a lot of you have commented asking me specifically,
how do you train to develop the strength
to look like your weightless,
or how do you turn off gravity?
And that's exactly what I'm going to be showing you
using these two techniques that worked best for me.
The first thing is to increase your body weight and get used
to training with more weight than you actually weigh.
And the best way to do that is with the weight vest.
Once you put it on, you immediately add additional weight
to any exercise that you do.
Eventually, the more you train like this,
you'll get so used to training with it on,
that you'll forget that it's on,
and this heavier resistance is what becomes normal to you.
And when you actually take it off,
not only are you going to feel lighter,
but you're actually going to be giving more force naturally
for every repetition as you would have needed it
with the weight on.
It's also going to help you to reach hypertrophy faster,
tearing way more muscle fibers,
building you way more solid, better quality muscle.
Not only is it a great tool for building
superhuman strength, but it's also going to
build your repetitions of course.
As you feel lighter and executing each rep
with more force, you're gonna be doing way more reps,
and I'm going to be giving you a perfect visual of that
with today's workout.
I'm going to be doing reps with the weight vest on,
and then I'm going to take the weight vest off and do the
rest without extra weight,
and you're going to see how much easier it looks.
Now, if you don't have a weight vest,
you can always pick one up at chrisheria.com.
We have them in different weight, capacities, and colors.
And regardless of which weight vests you choose,
they all have interchangeable weights
so you can put in exactly how much weight you want.
But if you're trying to follow along with the workout
we're going to be doing today,
and you don't have access to a vest right now,
you can always use a book bag filled with some books
or bottles of water.
And if you don't even have access to that,
that would bring me to my second technique
for turning off gravity and unlocking superhuman strength.
And that would be specifically training explosive.
Any rep, every rep, you want to do it
as explosive as you can,
whether you're doing pull ups or push ups,
and whether you're exploding off the ground or not,
you want to be as explosive as you can with every rep.
When being explosive with every single rep becomes normal,
by adding more resistance with the weight vest,
you're creating a habit to naturally apply more force.
That's going to get you used to training at a higher level.
And especially once you take off the extra weight,
you're going to see how everything else is going to be
so much easier when you apply this new strength.
So even if you didn't have a weight vest or access
to a book bag with some extra weight in it
should at least be doing every single rep
as explosive as possible.
So now if you're ready to follow along
and we're going to be doing a routine where I apply
these two techniques into a workout and you're going to see,
once you take off the weight, you're going to be able
to do the same repetitions a lot easier,
and may even be able to move on to more advanced exercises.
So if you're ready to follow along with the workout,
make sure you've downloaded the Heria pro app
in the app store or Google play store.
Open up to the YouTube workout section,
you should find this routine and we're ready to get started.
The first exercise we're gonna be getting into is going to
be pseudo planche pushups.
This exercise is going to help you increase
all pushing moves and you're gonna see just how much easier
it is after I take off the weight and do them again.
So we're gonna be going for 10 repetitions.
So grab your weight vest or your book bag.
And of course, if you don't have weight,
you just want to do it as explosive as possible.
You should be doing that regardless,
whether you have weight on or not.
So let's get into position feet against the wall.
Let's have our hands back.
Come all the way down, back up.
(upbeat music)
All right, there we have pseudo planche pushups.
Let me go ahead and take off the weight.
We're going to try it again.
Okay, doing this exercise specifically with extra weight
is what's going to create the strength needed
for superhuman exercises like the full planche.
So we should feel a lot lighter.
Let's go for some.
All right, lets go for some psuedos.
As explosive as possible.
Yup, you feel so much lighter
once you take off the weight vest.
You may not be able to go straight into full
planche pushups after, but enough training like this,
and you definitely will.
But what you should also notice is that when I do
the pseudo planche pushups without the weight,
I'm doing them way stronger and a lot more effortless.
And we'll go on to the next exercise.
I'm going to be going into pull-ups.
First I'm going to be doing it with weight,
then I'm going to take it off and you're going to see
just how effortless and light I look without the weight.
So I'm going to put the weight vest on,
then go for 10 repetitions.
(upbeat music)
All right, then we have the pull-ups,
time to take these off.
And if you've been training with this on
for a period of time and actually got used to the weight,
when you take it off, you should feel extra light
and should feel almost effortless to do pull ups.
Let's go for some.
(upbeat music)
There we have pull-ups with extreme explosive energy
and using all this extra weight and training explosive,
I already have a crazy pump.
We're just a couple of exercises in,
but now moving onto the next exercise to throw on
the weight vest again,
we're going to be doing assisted pistol squats
with the weight.
Then we'll take the weight off and we'll do
real pistol squats.
So let's go ahead.
You want to find an elevated surface, put the weight on.
We're gonna go into a pistol squat lowering ourselves down
as slow and controlled as we can and then right back up.
(upbeat music)
Now, of course the more you get used to this,
you can eventually bring the surface lower and lower.
Switch legs.
(upbeat music)
All right, so let's go ahead take the vest off.
Now this should feel a whole lot easier if you've been
training and getting used to this weight for a while,
but even if it's just your first time,
it should still feel a bit easier.
But the most important thing is consistency consistently
trained with the extra weight so that you get used to
heavier weight, and when you're training
with your body weight, you're going to feel so much
more lighter and effortless.
Let's go in to real pistol squats now.
They feel so much easier.
(upbeat music)
Yeah, effortless.
Switch legs.
(upbeat music)
All right, so there we go with the pistol squats.
Now we're gonna move into the next exercise.
Put the weight back on.
The next exercise is going to be handstand pushups
against the wall.
And if those are too difficult,
you can always try elevated pike pushups or pike pushups.
Those are two progressions for the handstand pushup as well,
training any of these progressions with extra weight,
making a handstand, handstand pushup,
or anything that you do on your hands so much easier.
So let's go for the weighted version first,
using the progression challenges you.
And then I'll be going for the weightless way.
(upbeat music)
All right, those were pretty tough,
but now it's time to take off the weight.
Now I want to try a harder progression,
but without the weight.
So if you were doing weighted pike pushups,
now you can try elevated pike pushups without the weight.
I'm going to be going for freestanding, handstand pushups.
Let's go for it.
All right, then we'll have quick set handstand pushups,
and you can see how much lighter and effortless it looks
after getting used to training with more weight.
That's the whole point.
If you want to turn off gravity,
start training with more gravity and get used to that
heavier resistance and make that the new normal.
Then when you go back to a lighter resistance,
like your own body weight, you're going to be flying.
And that's exactly what I did and what I still do
to this day when I train.
So if you want the same results,
then you want to make sure to be consistently doing this
routine and incorporating external weight onto your body
while doing any other type of training in additional to
being as explosive as you can with every rep,
like I said before,
you don't have to explode off the ground.
It could even look like a normal repetition,
but if you're giving it all you got
with every single repetition,
you're definitely going to get a whole lot stronger.
And your force is going to be naturally at a higher level,
making it easier to advance on to harder skills
and exercises.
