### [0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZfl1LmEuHg) The Problem With Fitness Content

The problem with fitness content is  it's mainly educational and theory   as opposed to what actually matters, which  is training hard, bringing the intensity,   working close to failure. But we don't even  know what that actually looks like anymore.    If you were training with me in person, this is  the level of effort that I would expect from you.    Check it out. Let's get the weight belt on you,  big boy. Yeah. He's going to be sore

### [0:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZfl1LmEuHg&t=20s) How I Train Weighted Chin-Ups

for like a week after this. Um, I think so. I  honestly I haven't done weighted chin-ups in   two or three years now. So I reckon  for five reps surely you'll get   at least 30 kilos for one rep max. My best uh was  like 66 70 I think was what I managed with one.    Let's grab that 10 kilo over there. That's your  first warm up set. These are calibrated plates   by the way. So it looks like it's  not Australian kilos. No, it's not. We're using   the uh the best units. We're actually using kilos,  not pounds as well. Going to get a few people   unsubscribing for that comment, but 22. 5 lb. Yeah.   Here you go. I like how he's clipped the weight   together. That's uh This man knows how to do his  weighted calis. Yep. Bam. Just do three, Tom. Nice one. Good one. I I'm sure I saw a video from  this like popular Australian YouTuber recently   about like keeping the weight plate together and  the knees. Is that you heard that before? No,   I'm actually looking for some more people to  follow online cuz I'm Yeah, me too. Always trying   to stay curious. They say never meet your heroes.   Okay, good thing I train by myself all the time.    Everyone's on their own journey in training  and Tom, bless him yet. He started with the 10,   which is relevant to his level, but I'll  be starting with the 20 kilos because   it's just part of the routine. Tom's even  grabbing it for me. What a legend.    Now, now I feel bad about that remark.   I wouldn't want to put your back out,   you know. Yeah, it's true. What?   Because I'm older than you. Yeah. I see. It's um a classic like street lifting calisthenics  hack. Lower weight, lower center of mass.    You could put yours lower. That might  give you a little bit of a boost.    Don't know if it's going to increase your  weight, but I'll be working with Tom, but   it'll give you something extra. I reckon you  can go So, what what's the what reps are we   doing for this one? What's the second? I'd like  to do five to eight. Okay. 5 to eight. Yeah.    And are you looking to step that over the  sets or are you kind of picking one and sticking   with that weight? Picking one weight and then just  doing two sets of that to keep it simple. Guys,   when you combine calisthenics with weights,  that's when your physique is really going to   start to change. I've spent 17 years figuring out  what actually works so that you don't have to.    Click the link down below to get my hybrid  program. I'll show you exactly what to do   and coach you through the whole thing.   Keep yourself accountable. That looks good. Three. Good range of motion. Good rep speed. Four.    Five. Six. Nice, Tom. Come on. Seven. Good.   You got one more. Come on. Big breath. Solid. Nice. That's good. It's a good um level  of intensity right there. I reckon you could have   push come to shove one more. Yeah, I could have  got one more. You could have done one more, but   that's perfect because we're going to do  two sets. That's where you want to be. Yeah.    I always find chin-ups actually, especially  they can drop off a cliff quite quickly.    Uh in a way that like not a lot of other exercise  do. It's kind of hard. Like although you said   you want to go to failure on all the sets,  like sometimes going too hard, you can drop   20% in that first. For sure. It's a it's  a fine line there. That's why um if you're   doing two sets, you've got a little bit more uh  energy that you can give to each set. Whereas,   if you want to do three sets, you probably want  to be a bit further from that failure point. Yep. And uh with this setup here, it's a   probably a little bit more difficult for strength  cuz we've got a bear wobble. Fair wobble.    Fair wobble. Long straps. It's what I have been  doing. I've got a little setup in that corner   over there. Oh, the short straps. The cheeky short  straps. That's probably too small for you, Tom.    you'd be your knees would be on  the ground, but for me it's enough height. It's a   little bit more stable. I do you think that rings  really make like obviously with pushing movements   massively compromised? Do you think pulling  it really makes that much of a difference?    I think on this setup it does. Yeah. For you  with the weights and stuff. Y if you were doing   it on a straight bar with the strap this long and  it's rotating a little bit. It still gives that   freedom to have a little bit less like tension  and torsion going through the elbow. Yeah. Yeah.    I want to do a 60 kilo one. Are you down to see  that? Yeah. In person? I want to see. Yeah. Okay.    One more set, Tom. A little bit of Oh,  thanks. Little bit of a secret here. So,   now Tom's going to get 15 reps. Dan secret  sauce. Yeah. No label. No label on this bad boy.    No sponsors up in here. All fitness FAQs painted  and products only. Dan approved. Yeah. [panting]

### [5:46](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZfl1LmEuHg&t=346s) Tom Failure Set

Squeeze your knees together.   Squeeze the plate. Yeah.    Come on, Tom. Take your time at the bottom.   Rest. Rest. Come on. Good.    Take your time now at the bottom. Take a few  breaths. Take a few breaths. Then just give it   everything. Give everything. Go. Go. Go.   Go. Finish. Finish it. Finish it.    Nice. We had an elbow crack there. That is  a very nice rep. I think that counts as a   is a pretty high RP. If most people watching  this gave that level of effort consistently,   we would all be beasts. I think like it's so  fun talking about the theory of training and   why is it working this and that. Once you know  the basics and you put that level of effort in,   I just don't see how you're not  going to get big and strong. [panting] Dan five. Another one. No, not this set.   That was pretty slow. Maybe the   next one. Now, this how quickly those first  couple of reps move as well. This is what you   spoke about the drop off. You watch  the first rep or two. Oh, get like 68. No,   I don't know what it is about chin-ups, though.   There must be the this the difference between   kind of completing a rep and not is very very  small. Whereas other exercises, you can kind of   always just about grind on and continue. I think  the pull up you got a little bit more momentum   compensation you can do. like on a weighted  pull, you can kind of like jerk it up like that.    Something about these elbows being here, you  don't have as much wiggle room compensation.    A lot of people tend to just go through  the motions with their accessories like the   biceps, triceps, shoulders. They'll do like three  half ass sets. What I've been enjoying is just   doing two sets of those, but like legitimately  hitting failure, like partials and stuff. Nice.

### [8:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZfl1LmEuHg&t=481s) Daniel Failure Set

Oh, not bad. I'll try one more for you. [snorts] Easy.   Where's the range? I just don't feel   like you're giving it 100% there. You  don't have to try harder.    I'm going to try at least one rep with  these. You're going to go for the 60? Yeah.    25 was so easy. I mean, to be fair, this is, as I  was saying earlier, I've not done weight chins for   ages, so I just out of interest in terms of  like I reckon it would have been better   to do this before your working sets,  but they weren't that hard. You know,   this is a new training philosophy we're  bringing. Postat post fatigue 1 RMS.    That's what they'll be doing in 2026. time.    I'll tell you what, that it's feeling a bit  heavier than I thought it was going to be. No,   I was going to come in with the  spot. Just photoshop me out. You're good. You would have  got that if you didn't do those fresh.    If you want to train like me, check out my  hybrid calisthenics program linked below. Peace.
