Description

In this Red Delta Project Podcast, Matt breaks down exactly how to build muscle with calisthenics—minus the burnout. You’ll learn why results don’t come from the “right” method or program, but from consistently creating a strong hypertrophy stimulus (tension × time) and giving your body the environment to adapt (sleep, nutrition, lower stress).


In this episode:

• Why method ≠ results (it’s not pull-ups vs. lat pulldowns—it’s stimulus vs. noise)

• The two drivers of muscle growth: tension and time—and how to get more of both

• Why consistency beats intensity, micro-workouts, density & EMOM done right

• Calisthenics advantages: leverage, easy progression, comfort → harder effort where it counts

• Managing stress so recovery turns into adaptation, not just survival

• Practical baselines: 2 hard sets, 2–3x/week per chain; log workouts; adjust to your feedback

• Tools that help (isometrics, suspension work, bands) and when to use them
