trying to keep in shape while traveling long term and not use not having gym
access as an excuse for letting my standards slip best pieces of kit
training styles for maintaining conditioning and adding mass while
living out of the back get rings yeah get rings get gymnastics would gymnastic
rings why would because plastic or metal will make you you get sweaty and slip
and you have to bring a ton of chalk you need a little bit of chalk with wood
rings it's a little more absorbent there's the best thing to grab onto so
yeah get wood gymnastic rings you can carry them anywhere and then just do a
bunch of calisthenics I mean come on man just knows what adding mass how do you
add masculine are you gonna get creative yeah you gotta get creative but it's you
know when instead of doing squats you know air squats do jump squats so you're
doing some dynamic you know 100 metrics yeah I do one-legged pistols yeah all
that stuff yeah yeah that's the I gotta do that right now
like I can't you can't drill the hole in my own mmm so they drilled a hole and
they attached the tendon not in the hole they go to push the tendon through the
hole they put an anchor at the end of it boom
anyway a lot of swelling in the forearm you can't grab nothing you can't grab
anything and have weight you know so calisthenics you got to kind of make
your position your wrists in a position in like a comfortable position you can
do calisthenics anyway point there is I'm in that boat
lifting weights is not an option at this very moment for me so you gotta kind of
get creative so like I'll push up you can make the push-ups harder if you put
your feet up and the higher you put your feet you know the harder it becomes or
you do like a one-arm pushup situation and then you can do like a decline like
um you know you go on a counter first right okay how many of these one-arm
push-ups you can do more than 20 okay maybe you go for like a chair or
something like this something something uh shorter boom you can do more than 20
of those okay now I can go to the ground see I'm saying and then you can go up
and raise your feet up as time goes on there you go good for and actually
bodyweight through space is the best way to build
size in your muscles there as far as like exercises go it's good
information it is better than dead lifting and squatting well okay so that
dead lifting squatting that's gonna be it's gonna depend on the way but think
about this dead lifting and squatting is moving your body through space so do an
air squat you're moving your body through space as a limit squatting with
weight right come back squat right right right but once squat
yeah duty gym heavy with squats yeah but again like I said moving your body
through space is the aren't the best exercises for mess what is what is not
moving your body through so like okay I squat compared to a leg press so I
haven't even though those aren't even in my those aren't even in my mind I know
about but this guy asking the question okay might be
well I'm trying to help him out I don't wanna help you out you got the whole
exercise thing figured out I get it you know you're expert in your boring
workouts talk about that later nonetheless so the body weights or body
moving your body through space is the best exercise the problem is or tends to
be that your body has a fixed amount of weight more or less so you can't adjust
the weight and usually you can move your body through space a bunch of times if
you do air squats you can do a bunch of air squats so it doesn't provide the
quote-unquote tension that you need to build mess that's why you go one at a
time create more attention on your muscles while still moving your body
through space which could wind up to be a better exercise for you that's what
I'm saying that's good man whatever Brad don't act like it's crazy
that I'm saying no that's the question you really the first little up with this
whole moving your body through space thing yeah that's real information I
just have no idea what that I I kind of get it now yeah you were saying it as if
it was some unknown it is unknown moving your body through so yes okay so you
know what a hammer strength yes okay so it's all you know it's like it's like a
I don't know like a lever kind of thing directly it's like you know you put some
plates on it you push it there's no pulley or nothing but you know you're
moving your body through space you know moving your body through space so I'm
kind of creating the spectrum here so can just consider that then it's kind of
far down there's other movements or things that are further down the
spectrum but that's fixed movement there's no balance required
there's no whatever it's just like you're just pushing late it's isolation
right right yeah plane the plane is isolated all this to the plane of
movement cool right so that will have less neural muscular activity when you
push it even if you're pushing heavy weights then something like graduate to
like a barbell bench press right for example but even that even though you do
have to balance so that's a big step up but even that you don't have to balance
in certain planes certain planes of movement you don't have to balance like
the what do you call this one lateral whatever the lateral movement on a
barbell bench press which is the bar you don't have to balance it's fixed but
front and back or forward and for the back whatever you do have to balance so
you know still good now go to dumbbells now you have 360 degree plane of
movement that you have to balance more neuromuscular activity so dumbbells are
better than barbells in that way no muscular activity and you can adjust the
weight so you can do things where you can only do three reps you can do things
you can do 20 reps if you want so boom great exercise can't really do it on a
hotel room but just saying generally speaking good exercise but now you go
the tip-top the best exercise for normal muscular activity would be push-ups
because same thing you're moving your body through space you're not balancing
weight your balance of some rings even better now you're going like creative
which is good that's like beyond the spectrum which is good totally good but
so yeah keep these things in mind I think when you do a thing weight so if
you can add or when you do workout so when you if you can add weight that's
the challenge if you can add weight to these moving your body through space
exercises that's what you need again well I think now I'm just gonna take
this one step further do it because you don't necessarily have to add weight as
you stated earlier you can adjust how you're moving your body through space
and then you can get you can get additional and I'll tell you
what really makes us obvious is if you do any gymnastics training if you do a
pull-up that's hard if you do a tuck pull up where your knees are pulled up
that's even harder if you do a l-sit pull-up where your knees are up put your
feet are pointed straight forward that's even harder each one of those things is
a little bit harder the same thing with a dip like just a regular dip if you've
done your feet hang it's easier if you bring it up to a talk it's a little
harder if you bring it up to an L it's even harder so you can keep doing these
things and there's squats that you can do I mean just doing pistols alone
that's a lot harder some people can't even do pistols yeah and so you might
have to do an assisted pistol to start off yeah so yeah you can make it happen
got a hard man especially if you know nothing before bizarre cuz the balance
yeah there's my own back and side to side balance our 360 degree plane of
balancing that's what this whole thing is about moving your body through space
you read that old-school Bulgarian philosophy workout program called the
old school never deviated from it much the core really good too by the way um
it's called our serious growth is what it's called weird right like that's such
a lame name but man I was in high school and I was like alright you know you read
all these things right and in the back of the you know muscle magazine or
whatever and the little article I remember all the Bulgarian yes kind of
like that was a big thing Bulgarian well yeah because the Bulgarians were doing
really good at weightlifting yeah quite no one knew it was weird
and these guys were like yeah five weeks or four weeks my bench went up to this
you know when you're in high school band check yet I don't get that order so you
get the prominences book and it's just called serious growth and it explains
everything really in detail to us like dang this is pretty good real plain
English - not all those rules science or whatever and maybe there so and they
were doing keto too by the way uh-huh that's where I learned about this
90 that's Chris Moore it's been around for a long time 40 was a hack in
book came out in the 60s or 70s that's way different though it's do not it's
not Wade if he is different way different yeah this guy has been around
for a long time yeah mark dr. Mario or morrow de Pascua oh yeah yeah that's it
was the keto got and again back in 90 he's still around
yeah okay so yeah so we did this thing we get this book and it's like laying it
out and you know I'm down I'm 15 16 years old I'm down to lift five days a
week let's do this and bro we did it and you eat good not like crazy I didn't do
the keto never did um but you know they have it as an
option and so we did or whatever and we it was weird since right gained like 20
pounds and I just we just kept doing it so you know you played football you came
in the game there's also this whole thing that you're 15 and your body's
just filled with testosterone agayn 16 pounds anyway it's not a team pound I'll
tell you this right now I was talking in Jodie Minich about this briefly to I'll
tell you this right now if even at 40 you go on this thing it depends on no no
go on this this type of work and I'm not even like selling this work out or
nothing like that I'm saying this so people will think and think you know
what though okay people think you're on steroids if you do this workout for like
six weeks that's it six weeks they'll think you're on Sarah straight up like
my whole life when I'd like go on apirana like a six week thing they're
all he's on Sarah it's obviously he's answer no series you only have to take
supplements that's the weird thing but here let me say this though now that
I'm thinking of it as or about it when I'm a grown adult most programs if you
actually do the whole program good thing people just don't do the work
Oh what do you need to do lift heavy weights a lot eat good interests good
yesterday outside yeah you'll get yawns and let's and let's face it it's not is
like if someone says oh yeah it's easy here's the thing it's not easy this is
why it's not easy it's not just the workout that's why you have to do the
workout then you have to eat enough of the right things do by the way and then
you have to rest enough that's basically you have to change your whole life so if
you're like it's easy just change your whole life it's not
easy no so and not that I'm not saying that that's a good excuse or anything
but I'm just saying it's not quote-unquote easy but yeah there it is
Jack do wear a diet exercise eat good work up good and rest good you'd be good
hotel or gym easy that's actually here's what you can do here's what I do want to
go to the muster or wherever I said if I'm there for like a week like the last
muster all like go on Google Maps and find like all the gyms and be like all
right I'm gonna that's kind of the commitment obviously you know that's an
interest that's your commitment like you want to stay in shape add mass as you
say conditioning adding mass whatever look for the gym near your house
commit to pay that gym fees she's like what ten bucks or something like that
and boom that's the commitment right
