The King of The No Equipment Workout – AthLEAN X Show – ATHLEAN-X™

by YouTube Team

Get AthLEAN-X here:
In a slight departure from the workouts I’ve been bringing to you free week after week, I had to stop and show you something this week that absolutely blew my mind. This guy…I’ll call him the “Man of Steel” (he works at a steelyard) sent in a video of him performing a pushup…that blew me away so much that I had to go out and see him first hand! The guy’s strength is unbelievable! I wanted to show this to you and show you how with little to “no equipment”, you too can get great results in your very own home gym doing the same types of exercise. Now, my AthLEAN-X Training System is also a workout system that can be done either in the gym with lots of equipment, or at home with the home gym little to “no equipment” necessary version of the workout.

If you haven’t seen this pushup before…it’s crazy. If you have never tried this pushup variation before, be careful when you do. It’s very intense. You have to build up to this and it’s not for novice weight trainers.

In my travels, I have seen some crazy feats of strength, but this one is definitely at the top of my list. As you might know, I write regularly for Men’s Fitness Magazine, was the physical therapist and strength coach for the New York Mets for the 2006,2007, and 2008 seasons…..and I continue to work as a celebrity fitness trainer working with some of the top professional athletes and celebrities in the world today. As you can imagine I’ve seen some great workouts and some great physiques. This guy….the “Man of Steel” almost tops them all. Not only that, but did I mention….this guy is 47 years old?!?! It’s amazing.

Pass this video on to everyone you think would find this either amazing or just downright cool! In the meantime, for a workout system based on the same muscle building principles as in this exercise head to and grab your copy of the AthLEAN-X Training System now!

What is the best way to gain weight in muscle? Im 22 yo 5'7" and only weigh 120 lbs. What foods should I be eating(fast and simple if posible), how many calories should I be taking in, and what kind of exercises can I do to maximize muscle building and minimize calorie burning? I dont have weights, but do have a pull up bar. Can anyone help?

Hey mate, i'v heard that you shoulden't train 5 days a week, 3 at the most, because it does nothing and you have to let your muscles relax for a few days and do it every second day. Is this correct? or can we train 5 days a week?

His confidence in front of the camera has grown.  And at least he has better camera and audio equipment. But damn, he's still just as ripped.

I wonder if he has videos uploaded as far back as 2006. Considering that's the year he joined YT.
