Overtraining is not contextual. Overtraining is something that can be scientifically measure by things like levels of cortisol and systemic Inflammation. Failure to get enough rest causes you to not get the benefits of your training, so you are over training because rest time would give you more benefits that training time as some point. What is true is that people wildly misuse the term "overtraining" in a very Bro-sci kind of way. There is not a set time of training that = overtraining. Things that claim "training for more then an hour is overtraining" are just wrong about what Overtraining is. It can not be measured by a set time. I mean, I think we can agree if you are training 18 hours a day... but realistically, not a 1 hour 3 hours, ect.

Hate to say this but I have never met a competitive gymnast at or above state level not at least using testosterone for recovery (not saying they don't exist just they are the minority). Gymnastics is a sport with one of the highest PED usages in the world. When I was younger I got to state level competitions and was put off by the sheer amount of drug usage. They train at impossible frequencies. The human body cannot train 3 hours a day 7 days a week with intensity like many competitive gymnasts do. This was when I was 16, decades ago. I was training in a team of 8, I was the only kid not on steroids. They were very open about it. However I will also say this. The dosages were extremely low. 250mg per week of testosterone was the norm. The training was extreme, no gym bro ever works that hard. The main reason for the testosterone was that without it the human body is so stressed the testosterone production would just shut down. Anyway just my experience. You can still learn a ton from gymnasts, the training does work very well. Some of the work will integrate into most workouts very well, steroids or no steroids.

In the US, it seems pretty different than in Canada. I'm an ex national level gymnast (stopped competing 10 years ago), and I've never taken any testosterone or steroids, and neither did my teammates. To be honest, I think I was even underfed most of the time, as I was always insatiably hungry and could never make my hunger go away. Anyway, we were still able to train at least four hours a day, six days a week. Hell, I'm 30 and I still do that or more on my own, still without using any PEDs. Honestly, I just found that increasing my training volume over the years made me able to withstand high intensities of training with high frequency, especially after I had a week to adjust to a new training program (first week was always hell).

Damn dude nice work. That's some next level genetics if you are natural! I think you would be surprised how many national level gymnasts take PED's. Many people cannot get to your level naturally. The intense training kills natural testosterone production for all but the most genetically elite. I'm actually from Australia, with out heavy emphasis on sports PED usage is insanely high. Most gymnasts I saw taking steroids didn't take bodybuilder doses either. Just enough to put them very, very high on the natural range of testosterone all the time even with the intense training. I'm actually currently writing a male health book at the moment. Testosterone is a major aspect of what I discuss. Out of curiosity have you ever had your testosterone level tested? I would be fascinated to know where you sit on the scale. It's also a great idea to get a full hormone panel when you are young and in good shape anyway. That way if you get really sick, or lose a testicle and require HRT or something in the future you know where you should be sitting at. Anyway man, keep up the good work!

+Jack Quick I would be interested in getting my T-levels tested, as my friends talked about it in the past, saying that maybe I don't know it but my T-levels are low because I train so much. I'm curious, but at the same time, I don't think it's covered by my health care plan unless there's a problem. Also, there's something important to mention, and it's that elite gymnastics (at least in Canada) is a little bit of an elimination process. Every kid can enroll in competitive gymnastics, but the club is divided into groups of different levels, and those groups are accessible on invitation only. I remember well. I started pretty late (10 years old), and at first I was training 3 hours/day, 3 times/week. Then they asked me if I could train 4 times/week. When I was turning 12, I was told that the next step for me would be to join the higher level group, who trained 6 days/week, 4 hours/day. So I joined them (those who turned 12 but weren't good enough to join that group joined a different group that trained at the same time, but with a little bit less hours per week), and for the first month, I did train with both my old group and the new group, for a total of 36 hours/week. I did well and was able to bear it, and then I fully joined the high level group. I believe that selection process naturally recruited the most gifted and toughest athletes from the club (we were never more than 6 guys training in the advanced group). Also, my club was bigger than other clubs of my province (Québec), and I have seen some athletes from other clubs not being able to keep up with our training during training camps (I've literally seen a guy crying in a corner, and when I asked him if he was okay, he said "It's just too hard"). Also, I cannot remember any moment in my life when I couldn't do pull-ups and push-ups or failed to do a basic gymnastics move like a pull-over or a press to handstand. I could naturally do these things without training, even the press to handstand. And the training I went through was at times pretty brutal. When I was young, I had a hard time climbing the rope without my legs all the way to the top. Well, my coached forced me to keep trying and screamed at me until I got it. It took a while, but at the end of the training, I could do it. Same for the muscle-up on rings. My coach spotted me for a set or two, then he just made me try it on my own until I could do it. When I got my first, he just said "Good. Now keep doing more." And I had better not be scared of stuff, ha ha. My coach had zero patience for fear, and would just force me to do whatever move I had to do.

I think that the answer is pretty obvious: the body adapts to what you're doing. If you're trying to do some kind of crazy exercise, like planche pushups, then your body will gradually grow the muscles that will allow you to successfully do it. I disagree with you about male gymnasts being muscular because they're doing these gymnast techniques a lot. Yes, the amount of hours that they put into their training obviously helps them to get stronger, but they'd still be ripped as heck even if they only did an hour of training a day. Don't underestimate the effectiveness of body weight exercise. There's tons of videos on KZitem of guys getting ripped as hell by just doing gymnast-style techniques on kids' playgrounds. Not only do extreme body weight exercises grow muscle, but you have to have a very low percentage of body fat in order to do them. That's why it's the perfect formula for having an extremely impressive body. The guys that do extreme body weight exercises have much more impressive bodies than gym rats. The reason why more people don't do it is because it has a really steep barrier to entry. It takes several months of extremely slow progress to get your body to the point where you can start doing really cool moves (like planche pushups and muscle ups). Most people don't have the patience to wait that long. They'd much rather just do some bench press and bicep curls.
@apocalypznow

@ TaskForceSixTwoSix : totally agree with you, however I'd like to add that you don't need to get to planche pushups, muscle ups and other cool moves to get muscular and ripped. You just need to stay consistent with calesthenics. My experience has been that compared to weight training, the muscle density is harder and far more permanent. I also found that I did not have to do situps or crunches anymore (which I dislike) when I stopped doing weights, as with calesthenics almost every exercise worked my core, for example pushups are like constantly doing a version of the plank. My stomach is completely flat and ripped now without having done any situps and crunches. As well, a few things in particular advanced overall progress in muscle building much faster: use a bar running across rather than hands at your sides for bar dips, use the rings whenever possible (ie: for dips, for pushups, for flys, etc), and handstand presses for shoulder strength and hypertrophy.

@@apocalypznow I concur with the muscle density and the more permanent muscle gains. When I stop lifting even for a relatively small amount of time, I feel that I lose size quicker and I'm not able to lift nearly the same weight anymore. With Calisthenics / Weighted Calisthenics, I do not feel the same amount loss in size or ability to lift a certain weight. Calisthenics lasts me longer than weightlifting, but it might also depend on the person. I just know that Weighted Calisthenics works best for me when building a bigger upper body, and maintaining it.

Interesting video. I used to be a gymnast. I am a gymnastics coach. I'm also a CSCS and work directly with gymnasts and gymnastics coaches for strength and conditioning. You are fairly accurate, but most of the conditioning that Gymnasts do at the mid tier - international level isnt just dips and chin ups and muscle ups and high rep range work. Yes they do some of that, but you would be suprised at how often they DON'T do it. Most of the conditioning (like any other sport) various throughout the season, depending on the macrocycle they have been given, but in general, a lot of the movements they do are extremely sport specific. An example, since you used the rings, I will also use the rings, is muscle ups, swings, dips, hold combos. That is one rep. This simply isnt a routine, this is one long rep that combos a lot areas of strength you discussed. The gymnast will muscle up, hold on the rings, swing 5 times (up on the rings, not under), Lift their legs to either an L hold or straddle hold. Now depending on the level of the gymnast, they can finish with a cross, or a planche, or a maltese. This will be performed multiple times, either 5, or 100. They work a lot of muscles in to a sequence of movements, and the reason they do this is because that is what the sport demands of them - sport specific training. Gymnasts do a lot of plyometric training and speed work too. It's just as important as the strength work. Can be as simple as box jumps, but also a lot is very sport specific as well.

Press double his body weight 10x. I personally attribute his look to throwing about his body weight EVERYDAY, lot's of static holds where you tighten your whole body through many movements. And His group did weight training only 1x a week. So even with this over training his body responded by building muscle and should add that his body fat was almost none existent. He told me years later that although he looked cut and ripped he never felt all that good physically. It wasn't till he was in his 20's that he put on weight and told me this.

I usually don't comment but I had to. Lots of bro science about gymnastics and muscle building in general. Resistance is resistance is a resistance. They have super human relative strength (do your research.) By decreasing leverage (static movement progressions and some bent-arm work), you put muscles at a mechanical disadvantage (it's simple Physics/Mechanics) which means more strength/hypertrophy provided you give the body what it needs in order to grow. Volume plays an important role but it's not exclusive to bodyweight training. And there are still pure strength based skills: one arm pullup, iron cross, planche/maltese, front lever just to name few. Good luck "repping" those out lol

I started doing gymnastics at age 5-8 years old... Even at that age we were training 2 hours a day four days a week... So I've always been strong...I am now a female body builder and I'm number one for the women for wide grip pull ups with 17 in a row... Thanks gymnastic! 😂😂😂

I disagree with the more time in the gym point. The reason gymnasts are so jacked is because they train for body-weight feats of strength. This means a lower bodyfat percentage is beneficial to preform more advanced lifts and static-holds. And the static holds they train for, planches, front/back levers, iron crosses, have well understood strength requirements. So the strength proportions of a gymnast are defined by what holds he is best at. The difficulty of these movements is a near linear progression that becomes harder if you loose weight (you can do harder static holds, or same holds for more time) or gain weight (to do the same holds with more weight trying to maintain the same time). And it doesn't even take much time, a planche is a very intense, anterior shoulder/arm/chest/core exercise, and the front lever is a very intense posterior shoulder/back/arm/core exercise. If you can do these 2 movements just 4 sets of 10-15 seconds each every day would be enough to maintain a quite impressive physique. This will ultimately equate to a very simple and efficient way to gain strength in a injury free fashion with your progress easily measurable. All that is required to become bigger is eat more. All that is required to progress is push yourself to preform the holds for more time, until you can do the next progression of the holds. I also want to add that if you calculate the time under tension by volume for these holds you wind up with insanely high numbers. Calculate the volume for dips and pullups alone if you don't believe me.

Thank you for addressing the strength component of it. The shoulders in gymnastics have ridiculous mechanical levers to overcome with the advanced moves you mentioned. A planche for a 165lb person is not simply producing 165lb or force as an example.

Most gymnasts also focus on improving almost every muscle group, also while keeping flexibility, speed, and agility. Overall this makes the body look layered, each muscle is at its peak and the strongest it can be, not just the 'money maker' muscles. Also, the gymnasts train in a way that improves muscles to be lean and strong, to be quickly moved. Overall this makes the body look more healthy and well built, not just as large as it can be.

Especially once you can constantly progress by adding extra weight. I always start of my back workouts with weighted pull ups and they have took my back to the next level. Absolutely love this video, you should defiantly do more workouts combining bodyweight & weight training, keep up the good work my man.

some people in the comments are also probably the same people who say they could look like Arnold if they took steroids. guys: Arnold has insane genes, and figured out his body perfectly... what cycles worked best, which type of steroid, what amount, what volume, what movements, etc. bodybuilding isn't steroids and moving weight; its an incredible science that varies greatly from person to person, and requires immense time and dedication to figure out what works best.

pretty much any variation that can make the movement harder/ more difficult. Things like pauses, tempo, isometrics, using bands, etc. . Basically milk the baby weights for as long as possible while correcting form, muscular activation, and muscular imbalances. Obviously there will be strength and muscle loss, but making use of the hardest variations available using the lightest weight possible will help preserve as much muscle mass as possible while rehabbing the injury.

+Boogie Cousins #MakeNBAFairAgain right now I'm doing 1 second paused front squats with a light band around knees. 7sets of 4 2 second paused Bulgarian split squats. 4 sets of 7 15 second Standing Glute activators superset with 4 second eccentric RDLs. 3 sets of 8-11 And that's it for lower body day. Everything is in the 6-8 RPE range without exceeding a pain level of 3/10. The loads are quite light. The idea right now is to train my glutes to do their job as well as strengthen glutes/ hamstrings/ lower back. And obviously perfect my form. I'm using girl weights but can still manage to get a pump on most workouts. I'm pretty sure I'm due for new programming. Every few weeks jake changes up the lifts I'm doing to target different areas and challenge me a little differently. It was really hard for me to drastically reduce the weights I was using, but once I did that, things started feeling better.

1. The amount of Bicep development they get from straight arm work is insane. This is often why rings specialists have biceps that resemble melons. 2. Static holds in disadvantaged leverage positions and the dynamic movements into and out of these positions are the key to how they build incredible strength and size. For example going from an L sit to a handstand 3. They're incredibly lean, which highlights their muscularity. 4. Most Gymnasts are short, so they would not require a significant amount of muscle mass to look jacked. 5. The amount of muscular tension required to execute these movements is incredible and again will inevitably lead to muscle gain.
