Thoughts on Making Friends & Dating
I get asked fairly often—usually by young males in our community—about how to find a girlfriend.
I also get asked about how to make friends.
It seems like a lot of people are feeling lonely and isolated.
I definitely don't consider myself an expert on "girls and making friends" (is there such a thing?), but I'm happy to share what's worked for me.
Honestly, because there's SO MUCH variance in what people like, it's hard to say we should do certain things to appeal to all people.
In my opinion, the more we overthink about how to "crack the code" behind getting a significant other or making friends, the worse things get.
My recommendation is to work on yourself in all aspects—mentally, physically, spiritually, financially, emotionally, psychologically... Everything. This is a worthwhile pursuit in its own right.
At the same time, give to others and help people while expecting nothing in return—whenever possible. I go into the video about how we don't need to "give until we hurt" or overextend ourselves. It's okay to help ourselves first or distance ourselves from those who hurt us. However, giving to others without an ulterior motive is so rare nowadays that it truly makes you stand out. Doing so creates opportunity for you and everyone involved. It's just one of the best things you can do whenever you have a chance to manifest opportunity, build relationships, and cultivate a better life.
When we do all of these things, then the rest is left up to chance. I decided not to say "left up to destiny" because that sounded cheesy, but that's really what it is as well.
To build relationships, make yourself a person you would want to be friends with, help others, and you'll start building a community around yourself. Within this community, some will be lovers, others can be business partners, and others may just be good friends.
I hope that makes sense! I know I'm speaking quickly in this video haha. I was happy.

BODYWEIGHT BRIDGE: Tutorial
The bodyweight bridge is one of my favorite exercises! It's great for building a strong and flexible spine.
While it may seem difficult for some, almost anyone can build up to it with the right progressions.

You CAN get rid of fruit flies, my friend!
I call this the "fruit fly's downfall."
This is an old video and yes, completely non-related to fitness. However, now that the weather is warming up in some places, I wanted to share this lifehack that has helped me out a lot.
Even very clean houses sometimes get fruit flies. They simply find a way.

Neck Pain Stretches
Here are some stretches I do when my neck is feeling stiff and tight!
I was suddenly inspired to make this video today when I was thinking how much I relied on these stretches when my neck tightens up.
I was wondering what other people did, and I think some people just... Do nothing.
That sounds horrible, so I wanted to share what works for me.
These exercises are by no means definitive. In fact, I had to cut out a fairly lengthy warmup part. There are also some more passive stretches you can find in other videos. I tried to include the ones that are not discussed as much.
Which ones work for you? Do you have any other ones? Let me know!

How I Grew 1 Million Subscribers in 2 Months
Hey friends! Our channel has been lucky enough to experience a lot of growth in the past few months. Since then, I've gotten a lot of questions about how I grew the channel so quickly. In this video, I talk about my approach to social media. I talk about the importance of serving people over numbers, finding a platform with organic reach, interacting with an audience, cultivating a community, and being careful with monetization methods.
Does this make sense? Please let me know if you have any questions!

Exercises for Knee Pain Relief
Hey everyone! When I started posting more squat and lower-body workouts last week, I got many requests for this video. I actually had already had a knee pain video, but I felt like I could make it a lot better, so I remade it.
For more information, check out my friend ‎@Dr. Chris Raynor aka @stablekneez on Instagram. Dr. Chris is a great surgeon, creative content creator, and all around good guy. He knows a LOT more than I do about this stuff. If you're interested, check him out!
Knee pain can be caused by MANY things, and this video is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical conditions. Some issues cannot be solved with exercise or physical therapy alone.
However, I've found that building up do doing squats with a full range of motion can help with knee pain. It's interesting, because there are some fitness figures that are adamantly against deep squatting because they claim it is BAD for the knees. I like it, and I've found it to be a very natural position. However, I do think that many people may not be prepared for it. Like any exercise, it can potentially hurt you if you're not acclimated to it. You can use your arm to assist you through the motion until you're able to do it without your arms with no pain. I have a full YouTube video on this: www.hybridcalisthenics.com/deepsquat.
Beyond this, sometimes strengthening our calves and hamstrings can "mysteriously" fix our knee pain. Both of these muscle groups support the knees.
On the other hand, sometimes these muscles are simply too TIGHT. You muscle fibers may be getting too tight and constantly trying to hyperextend your knees. Savor some calf and hamstring stretches.
I should point out that my chosen hamstring stretch in this video, standing toe touches, are controversial to some. Again, I like them, so they're shown here. If you are against them or they hurt you, you're very welcome to choose a different hamstring stretch.
Finally, I talk about isometric exercises like the horse stance and wall sit that seem to help with knee pain.
I touch upon synovial fluid, which is largely responsible for healing and nourishing our joints. Synovial fluid mostly circulates with movement, so I've included some knee "circles."
Hope this helps!

You CAN do muscle ups, my friend!
If you can do 12 solid pullups and 5 dips on a horizontal bar, you can probably learn to do the muscle up!
(You may be able to learn it with lower numbers. Nothing wrong with building up your numbers a bit just for fun though, huh?)
I had to cut out a scene for time, but try to envision swinging DOWN and BACK. Keep your arms straight above your head and swing them down without bending your elbow. That's the feeling of swinging down. Now hold your arms parallel to the ground in front of you and pull back explosively as if you're doing a horizontal pullup. That's the "back" feeling. Try to combine the two.
You'll get it! Let me know if you have questions on it!

Thoughts on Abstinence & Celibacy
I keep getting asked about this, so I give my answer in this video.
To summarize, I don't really have an opinion on whether or not people should experiment with abstinence. It's entirely up to the individual.
However, I HAVE noticed that people approach it in different ways, some with much more success than others.
Some essentially refrain from any kind of sexual activity, but still let their minds to dwell on those thoughts. Not to mention that it's hard to avoid the hypersexuality in media (sex sells, as they say). The idea is to channel the sexual frustration you have into productivity or some kind of life improvement.
While it's debatable whether or not this approach has merit, it DOES seem to result in the significant side-effects. Anecdotally, I notice a preoccupation with sex, extreme aggression, and moodiness with individuals that go down this path.
And more interesting (and more difficult) approach, in my opinion, is to abstain from sexual thoughts. This seems to be the approach taught in some monasteries and religious practices. This develops less frustration and also gives us the benefit of training our minds to focus on what we choose, not what we are given.
Anyway, as usual, that's just my opinion. Like I said at the beginning, you can choose to abstinent or not. I respect your choice either way. I'm not recommending one over the other.
Hope everyone is doing well!

Bodyweight Leg Exercises
Don't skip leg day! I recommend building up our lower body strength progressive bodyweight squats. Progressive meaning the exercise gets harder as we get stronger! More information in the free routine linked below.
I generally do explosive work first, then regular squats, and then I follow up with ancillary work like calf raises and isometrics.
I didn't mention during the video, but holding an isometric stance in the bottom part of a half squat can sometimes make a good lower-body exercise for those with knee pain. Look up the horse stance or mabu that martial artists do. It's similar to that.

Reducing Muscle Soreness
I actually like the sore feeling, but it can sometimes impede our progress. Here are some things we can do to alleviate it!
I can summarize pretty easily. The video is only 59 seconds, haha:
Warm up before working out
Cold showers or cold baths after workouts
Drink water
Get plenty of sleep (VERY IMPORTANT)
Self-massage / foam rolling
Heat therapy
It may interest some of you that lactic acid is currently not thought to be the cause of delayed-onset muscle soreness. Instead, the culprit is primarily microdamage incurred during high-intensity workouts.
It is may ALSO surprise some of you that muscle damage, while previously thought to be the catalyst of muscle GROWTH, has been shown in some studies to be non-essential to muscle growth. Soreness may be correlated with fitness progress, but progress can happen without it.
Hope this helps you out!

Overcoming Stuttering
Hey everyone! This is just me sharing my experience on how I learned to communicate a bit more clearly.
I had to trim a good amount from this video to get it under 60 seconds (so it can be used in YouTube Shorts), so if you want more information, I left a longer version here: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLESohBlCCq/
I really want to emphasize that it's using your voice to COMMUNICATE and listen back that will help. If you just read pages out of a textbook or something, it may help with enunciation, but not as much when you actually need to translate your thoughts to words.
I hope that can help you out and you all have a beautiful day!

You CAN do deep squats, my friend!
Building up to deep squats can be a very simple, enjoyable process!
The ability to get up off the ground without the assistance of your arms is important.
As usual, we can start with something we CAN do and build up!
IMPORTANT: I forgot to mention during the video that we should always follow the progressions that don't use a full range of motion (like chair squats and half squats) with one that does. For example, following chair squats with a single set of jackknife squats. I feel like it's important to train the full squat motion, even if part of it is assisted!
Here are the progressions:
Resisted Lying Squats
Goal: 3 Sets of 50
Jackknife Squats
Goal: 3 Sets of 35
Assisted Squats:
Goal: 2-3 Sets of 30
Chair Squats:
Goal: 2 Sets of 35
Half Squats
Goal: 2 Sets of 35
FULL SQUATS! TADA!
Hope this helps you out!

ONE ARM PUSHUP: Tutorial
Hey friends! This is just a simple progression for a one-arm pushup.
I had to delete a lot of clips to make this video be under a minute (so it can in the YouTube shorts shelf).
Among the things I wanted to mention:
1.) If you can't do regular pushups yet, don't worry! I have a video on that as well: https://youtu.be/L-Yd2YpIDkI
2.) If any of these variations hurt your wrist, a temporary solution is to do them on your knuckles with some padding underneath. Or you can hold a dumbbell with your working arm(s)!
3.) One-arm pushups are easier if you "tilt" and have your working shoulder closer to the ground than your other shoulder. Over time, try to keep your shoulders somewhat level to increase the difficulty of the exercise.
Hope that helps you out!
The progression is
Full Pushups - 2 Sets of 25
Narrow Pushups - 2 Sets of 20
Side-Staggered Pushups - 2 Sets of 15
Archer Pushups - 2 Sets of 9
Sliding One-Arm Pushups - 2 Sets of 9
One-Arm Pushups - 2 Sets of 9
These progressions and more are included in my free online fitness routine: www.hybridcalisthenics.com/routine

3 Common Beginner Fitness Mistakes
Hey friends! This video took a lot longer than I expected... I ended up making a lot of mistakes and had to redo parts of it. Irony? Haha.
I had to cut out a lot of clips to make it fit. For example, regarding spot reduction, it's not CURRENTLY thought to be possible, but there are fringe studies that have tested the theory. I don't personally buy into it, but I ideally I would have brought that up to ward off potential arguments.
In addition, while we may not be able to spot reduce with exercise, there may be others things we can do. For example, low-carb diets have been shown to help reduce visceral fat.
I recommend everyone do their own research on the subject and come to their own conclusions! I'm certainly not the final opinion.
The second mistake I cover involves exercising too much.
After a long period of inactivity, we're often suddenly inspired. Sometimes it's by someone we see on television.
For some of us it's watching Rocky. For others, it's Naruto.
Everyone is a bit different, I guess.
It's better, in my opinion, to start off with low intensity exercises at a volume you can sustain and scale.
You can go on a walk every morning, for example.
You could also do a proper workout 2-3x a week.
And then you can scale up the volume and difficulty after a few weeks of sustaining this routine.
The third mistake is investing in too much equipment.
We can't buy our fitness and health, so we shouldn't let others try to sell it to us.
Sometimes we feel better after we "invest" hundreds of dollars into expensive exercise gear and equipment.
Unfortunately, spending that money isn't making us healthier or fitter.
We also can't use that as an excuse not to exercise.
We can get started with just our bodies, the floor, and gravity.
Of course, we're always welcome to expand our equipment arsenal as we need!
I hope this can help you out!

My Birthday Stream - What Can I Give You?
Hello everyone! It's my birthday today. I'm 27.
I'd like to give you 27 things. What would you like? They may take a while, depending on what's requested, but we will get there!
All credit should go to my mother, who ACTUALLY worked hard 27 years ago. I didn't even do anything. I was just born. Then I cried about it. Pfft, what a baby, am I right?

Building Confidence and Self-Esteem
Hey everyone! I usually try to alternate the calisthenics videos with "other" videos like philosophy, life, motivation, etc. Today's video was supposed to be about pushups, but it was a nice day and I felt like going for a drive. I drove to a nearby bluff and shot this video.
(It actually ended up being a lot colder than I thought. If I'm slurring a bit towards the end, this may be why).
The idea of building self-esteem has been on my mind a lot recently. A lot of people have been asking me about it, so it's sort of been slowly bubbling to the forefront.
By the way, I certainly don't profess to be an expert. However, these principles have helped me a lot in my teens and 20s, and I'm sharing them here so that they may help others:
I think the "fake it 'til you make it" attitude some of us have toward confidence is what ultimately results in low confidence and low self-esteem.
When we become actors that pretend to be confident in something we know nothing about, we become vulnerable. We get upset when someone questions our ability. We attack others and try to bring them down so we seem better by comparison.
In my experience, a better endeavor is to cultivate self-awareness. When we spend time on introspection and knowing ourselves, THEN we can slowly start to build confidence and reconcile our self-perception with reality.
If we know we're good at something, we have no fear of other people telling us we're bad. We can say with confidence that we know ourselves better than they do.
If we know we're bad at something, we should also have no fear in other people telling us we're bad. We completely agree with each other. What is there to argue about? We're always trying to improve.
Once again, it was a bit cold on the bluff. I apologize if the video isn't as clear and clean as it could have been! I had to somewhat hurry because of the weather and the setting sun.
Let me know if you have any questions. Have a BEAUTIFUL day!!!!!!

Minimalist Hair Care Routine
By popular request, here's my hair care "routine!"
It's not much of a routine. I just wash my hair and avoid harsh chemicals. Everything else just revolves around that.
I didn't have time to mention during this short video, but if your hair isn't dry, but OILY, sometimes using less harsh shampoo can help as well. This is just my observation though. It's anecdotal. If anyone knows why this might be, please share!
I'll eventually make a longer video about this as well!

SUPER TUCK JUMP: Tutorial
Note: I originally learned this exercise from the book Explosive Calisthenics by Paul Wade. I like it a lot, but I changed the name of the exercise because the one used in the book is probably not friendly for social media. However, I do want to give credit! The book and progressions are great.
Hello all! I intended to make this video last Friday but the weather outside wasn't good for outdoor video.
To be honest, I'm still not entirely happy with this video.
I know lots of people have been asking for videos on increasing their vertical jump. I have a few more videos on this planned, so look for them soon! I hope this helps.
The idea is to do progressively harder jumps that require more power, speed, and coordination to build up to doing the Super Tuck Jumps.
Be careful and don't practice this near anything that can hurt you, including glass!

Can We Increase Our Height with Exercise?
Is there any exercise, stretch, or routine to make us taller?
Kind of.
We can do things to reveal our natural height, but nothing will make us taller than we're actually supposed to be. That we know of, anyway.
We want to keep our spines healthy and limber.
AND we want to make sure we're getting enough calcium in our diet.
If you're young (under 21 or so), sleep can make a significant impact on your height. Try to sleep long and deep every night (at least 8 hours). During sleep, our brain tends to heal before our bodies, so the longer we sleep, the more repair and growth can happen. To an extent, of course.
I hope this can help!

Sleeping Positions for Neck Pain Relief
If your neck hurts more when you wake up than when you go to sleep, you may be able to avoid that by changing how you sleep.
Our body does the bulk of its repair work while we sleep, so we should make the most of it!
This video is a mixture of how I helped my own neck pain and basic therapy norms. If possible, consult a medical professional for your neck pain. This video does not replace a consultation with a medical professional or physical therapy program.
