- What's up, elite ThenX athletes.
It's Chris Heria
Welcome to another video of official ThenX.
Today we're going to show you how to look more
muscular fast for summer.
(electronic music)
Alright, so let's get started.
So today, we're going to be showing you how to look
more muscular fast, for summer.
So first, let's identify what makes a person look
more muscular.
Well, if you would look in the cartoons,
or a Disney movie, something like that,
and you always see the jacked guy,
always has a really big upper body,
big shoulders, wide lats,
a big back and he always has a tight tight waist.
That is want gives you the appearance,
the illusion that you're actually bigger.
And the reason why is because of the waist
to shoulder ratio.
Now this is normally the goal for people
when they are trying to look more aesthetic,
when they're trying to go to the gym
and just basically get in shape.
And just working out every single day,
obviously is not going to get you there.
You know, a person could go into the gym, just like
another person, and spend the same amount of time,
and go the same amount of days,
and they're going to come out of the gym looking completely
different depending on their workout exercises,
depending on their workout programming,
what they're eating even,
what they're rests are like,
so everything is a result of what you're doing
in the gym and what you're doing outside of the gym.
So you can't just expect to work out and then
you're gonna look like that.
A lot of people that go to the gym,
and they're trying to achieve this look,
they are going to a gym, and the ac is on,
they're normally sitting down during their workout.
Being as comfortable as possible,
and they're most likely doing some type of
isolation exercise.
Just because it's most convenient there,
there's so many machines that you can use
to isolate a particular part of your body.
Right?
Now when you're working out with the mentality of like
okay, I need to change my chest,
and now I need to change my triceps.
It's going to be easier to
develop some type of muscle and balance,
or you're not going to give yourself that look,
you might think you are, but you're not,
and this is why.
A lot of times when you're doing these
isolation movements you are just focusing on
one muscle right?
So you might even get really big or really ripped
in that particular muscle,
but you're going to start looking like a square.
Like a lot of the people that you see coming from the gym.
They might develop those muscles,
but they still don't have that
v shape and the reason why is because
first of all when you're going to the gym
and the ac is on, you're not breaking that sweat,
you're not going to get that heart rate up as easy,
as fast, and you're not going to burn as much fat
or lose as much water with tension.
Now, also when you're sitting down during your workout,
there are muscles that can be activating
as you're standing up,
or as you're doing compound movements,
that are gonna involuntarily affect
the other parts of your body,
activating other muscles in your body
that's gonna work them out involuntary,
that's gonna get you more shredded,
and normally it's the stabilizing muscles
that's gonna get you that more muscular look.
And you're not affecting them when
you're just sitting down in your workout.
And if you're doing exercises all the time
that are just isolated,
you're never gonna hit those other muscles that you hit
when you're doing compound exercises,
and when you're doing compound exercises,
you're gonna be building more testosterone,
you're going to be getting bigger because you're doing
compound exercises.
You're working out more muscles, more frequently
than just trying to get the
ones that you think that you need.
Now the thing about calisthenics,
is that if you see a lot of people that do a lot of
calisthenics, they all kind of very similarly
have the same body structure, the same look,
the reason why is because calisthenics is basically
based upon compound movement.
When you're doing a pull up you're activating your lats,
your delts, your back, your core,
literally the exact muscles that you need to
get you that look that you're looking for.
That v shape look,
also when you're doing calisthenics,
you are engaging your core with every single exercise
that you're doing.
So you're always involuntarily affecting your core
and other stabilizing muscles, other muscles
when you're just trying to do a workout,
for example, if you're having a back day in calisthenics,
or a push and pull day,
you're going to be affecting other muscles,
regardless, your delts, your core,
whether you want to or not.
And that is the different between training comfortably
in a gym, and doing a lot of isolated work outs,
and having that type of programing, and actually getting
active, doing compound moments,
using your body to do a lot of these workouts,
and make your body work for it.
So now we're going to show you a workout
that's gonna make you look a whole lot more muscular
fast for summer, that's gonna engage the muscles
that will actually make you look bigger,
more muscular.
Which is gonna be the shoulders,
the lats, the back and the core.
And in fact, if you're following all the workouts,
on this channel, you're following the videos on this channel
if you're member to our website, Thenx.com
and you have full access to all our workout programs,
you're gonna end up getting that v shape,
you're gonna end up looking like that,
involuntarily, regardless,
because our whole programing and practice is based around
these compound movements that are going
to shape your body to look like that.
So now, we have a workout that's going to make you
look more muscular fast for summer,
that are going to engage the muscles that are gonna
shape your body to look more of that v look,
more muscular.
So the first exercise is gonna be pull ups,
with the wide grip.
Then we're going to go into Australian pull up,
wide, shoulder, close.
Next we have hand stand pushups against the wall.
Then we're gonna go into shoulder taps from there.
Then upside down dead lifts then we'll go into
hanging leg raises plus hanging knee raises
then we'll move into plank side to side
next we have dumbbell shrugs,
then chin ups into head bangers,
and last we have lateral raises into rear delt flies.
Now we're gonna do all these exercises about 8 to 15
reps each, so we can create hypertrophy
for some muscle growth.
So if you guys are ready, lets get started
with the first exercise.
Pull ups with the wide grip.
Now if you watched our video how to start
calisthenics, pull ups, you will know how to do these
pull ups right here, but if you're still having trouble,
you can use a resistance band, go ahead and watch
the video so you can see all the progressions
that you can be doing, if you can't yet do some pull ups.
Alright, so lets go with that wide grip.
(electronic music)
Alright, moving on,
now we're going go into Australian pull ups.
Wide, shoulder and closed grip.
So if you've watched the video
on how to calisthenic pull ups,
you'll know how to engage the gears
in your back and your arms
to be able to do this move correctly and
more efficiently.
So lets start straight,
from our heel to our shoulder.
Start with the wide grip,
we're gonna pull back the scapula's.
Pull back from the elbows,
squeeze the back and last squeeze the hands and let down.
Alright, shoulder.
(electronic music)
Close.
(electronic music)
Alright, whew.
Okay.
Next handstand pushups against the wall.
If you guys need a rest 30 seconds to a minute is perfect
just don't wait too long.
Alright, lets go for it.
(electronic music)
Alright, gonna do some shoulder taps.
If you need to take a break go ahead and get
back down and go back up.
(electronic music)
Should have pushed that scapula down,
push it down, down.
(electronic music)
Alright, that was pretty good.
Alright, next we have upside down dead lifts.
Let's go for it.
(electronic music)
Make sure when you're doing this move,
don't swing, cause it's actually gonna make it harder.
Use your core, do it properly.
Here we go, upside down dead lifts.
Lift, all the way up. Push with your hips.
Make sure your body stays close.
To the bar.
(electronic music)
You can even go half way, then back up.
(electronic music)
Alright, next move we have hanging leg raises.
And then we're going to go straight into
hanging knee raises.
Don't forget to breathe guys,
it's going to make it a whole lot easier,
don't hold your breath, it will be a lot harder to do these.
Alright, hanging leg raises.
(electronic music)
Yeah, I'm already feeling that.
Alright, so the next exercise,
plank from side to side.
(electronic music)
Alright, whew! What's next?
Dumbbell shrugs.
So we're almost done, now we got to pick up these things.
(electronic music)
Whew! Alright, almost done.
Now we have chin ups, to head bangers.
Let's go for it.
(triumphant electronic music)
Alright, next we have lateral raises
to rear delt flies,
and that completes the workout.
