I have had friends who were hard gainers and couldn't gain weight. They used steroids and lost all there gains gave up for 2 years on weight lifting. Came back as the same skinny guy and was able to build muscle with out gaining fat really easy. It change the nuclei and allowed them to perform better.
I am 20 and i have started working on my body for the last 6-7 months. Jeff you have helped me a lot and still help me to this day to understand the basics and approach training in a healthy and smart way. Thanks to you and your team mate. Cheers
Took me years to figure out I've trained poorly my whole life. Athlean X has awesome advice, Jeff Nippard is another. Very easy to fall into that number trap. "Okay I did 3 sets of curls at 8, 3 sets of kickbacks at 8... etc etc." Yeah, but did it CHALLENGE you?? Did you go almost to failure? Etc. Your muscle doesn't care about the number, or the sets.
Overtrained here!! I know, I know. I am ADDICTED!!! I am ADDICTED to exercising! What a great feeling! Thanks, man. You are such a great teacher. I feel your love for this
I used to overtrain all the time because my friends used to stay until they were drained out. I've been killing my workouts in about 1 hour more or less and I'm seeing more results
wtf and I really started gaining strenght and muscles when I started raising my workouts from 1h to 2h oO 3 months in and 2-3 pounds of muscles (natty, doing it since 7 years and 200pounds) guess everyone is different :/ youre lucky
my little brother does arm days till he cant lift anymore, and reduces weight as he does more reps, my arms are bigger at 3 sets of 8 of dumbbells suitable for me :P
Honestly your vids are the only thing I can trust. I appreciate the no BS approach and all of your advice is extremely solid. No wonder you’re past 9 million subs. Keep the vids coming!!
Eye-opening video. Very refreshing to listen to someone so passionate about wanting to help others enhance their physical health and self-improvement goals. Thank you Jeff.
yohan plays You’re more likely to accomplish your long-term goals if you break it up into smaller short-term goals. I started training at 120 lbs with a goal of 200lbs. I broke it up into 10lbs intervals. Now, I’m 160 lbs.
Jeff appreciate your coaching and information, it has changed my workouts so much over the last year. Thanks for continuing to put out such great videos 👍😁
Dude if you’re going for Olympic lifts that’s how you got to do it. Lift fast and drop under the weight faster. It’s a different game than just bulking.
Spoken like a true therapist! I’ve been a practicing PTA now for 24 years and understand you can’t do anything for anyone except educate them, that being said I’m not the smartest in the gym working out it seems like after watching your video. I’m 58 yo with a TKA and heart disease who feels like time is running out and have recently tried to make a example for my patients, I work LTC . So I have been spending a lot of time in the gym lately as I was 325# and now down to 270 # but spend 1.5 to 2 hours in the gym three to four days in a week, sometimes more. I spent the first few months just working on core and cardio but have now included legs, back, chest and arms. The work is just that work, not afraid! So I’m in I haven’t been eating great but better than I used to but periods of no food because of time and lack of appetite. I appreciate your candor and willingness to help others in this crazy ass world. I’m subscribed and following and looking forward to more! Steve
I often train over 3 hours and mostly 5 days a week. Sometimes I feel absolutely gassed out and finished after 50 minutes of heavy deadlifts I then sit down for 5-6 minutes dig deep and tell myself: "That was just warm up" pick up the same weight I was barely able to complete 10 reps and bang out 15-20 reps with it the last few reps I feel like it's only by chance, God's grace, whatever it doesn't even feel like I am lifting it anymore. I get all hyped up again and go hard into the second hour. I'm not enhanced and I cringed when I heard Jeff say it's either one or the other. Just because he can't imagine that people can go balls out for hours, it felt like an insult when he balanced peds and long workouts on a scale like that, immediately deserved a DISLIKE!
Are you trolling?? I can appreciate your drive, but you are incorrect. Basically, I read your post and right off the bat I can tell you're a novice with a poor standard for what high intensity(heavy) really is. How can I tell? The fact that you chose deadlifting for your example. If you can get more than 4-5 reps on a set of HEAVY deadlifts your intensity is in the shitter. I won't even get into the other problems with 20 rep deadlifts... Good luck to you.
I look forward too and dread my 2 chest days and everyone that know me knows I give it every ounce of life to get those dumbbells up. People constantly tell me to take a small step back, but, not gonna happen. I feel fatigued every day, but, I have goals, I dont want to look like me. I dont like me, but 1 day I will become the me I want to see. I'm not getting any younger so I damn sure better give 200%, put the information I get here into practice, and bury any excuses, another gym week begins. 💪
I like your straight forward attitude... those who depend on studies and research have little to no experience... i use your advice in my lessons.... everyone is different
G'day Jeff. I am 43yo male and have just started going to the gym 3 months ago, i am now 54kg and am a hard gainer. I can't seem to eat more calaries on a regular basis. I have definitely seen an improvement and am stoked both physically & mentally with the change. I have had multiple sclerosis for 13 years now and just use the cable machines because of my lack of balance. I really like your videos mate and get alot of knowledge from them. Cheers👍
Ned, back in the day I was 25 yes old, 6ft and 143 pounds. Through compound exercise (squats, bench press, shoulder press and pull ups) I got up to 189 pounds in under two years. It's not a quick fix,but doable.
it has been 4 years still grinding I am with that every person who struggles through life's mess and still able to find 2 hours for gym even if you are crying inside STAY STRONG WE GOT THIS#
Tremendous video, to the point. Your knowledge in physical therapy surpasses everyone else who thinks they're video's on training are great. They don't come close to your knowledgeable expierence and explanation of how the body works.
few questions: is whey protein that important and may effect your gains ? is deadlift ok for short teen guys ? is 4 days a week of wight lifting enough ? is not feeling sore the next morning means that you didn't workout hard enough ? are you an angel ?
Let me answer those question on behalf of previous athlean x videos: 1. Whey protein is super, if you're diet lag in the protein area. Always good to be on the safe side. 2. Deadlift is always good, BUT only if performed correctly. Might be too risky for a teenager. All though I'm 16 myself and deadlift works super for me. 3. 4 days a week, is very optimal for lifters - all the way up to the advanced state. Examples: Upper & Lower - Push & Pull.
+Imperi4lEdits thanks for the reply i'm 16 to but i'm 5.4 so yea... GENES btw i workout 4 days a week with weights and 1 day cardio without weights and 2 days rest + i'm actually trying to make gains without any kind or type that have any connection to steroids or supplements but idk if i lack some protein or not :)
+karl cesario the thing is i'm not happy with my height at all so i'm trying not to effect it in any way so that's why i'm asking will it effect my height ? cause it's just few more years till my height stops (growing is the word?)
+Sattam 1. Whey protein is overrated... try just drinking milk straight after a workout, or grains with cheese on top, or even a few eggs (I heard egg protein is the highest quality). 2. Yes, if done correctly it'll burn tons of fat and build a ton of muscle, and if u do 1 arm deadlifts (keep dumbbell/barbell at the side) then god help ur WHOLE back not just ur lower back it's that good! 3. Yes, I heard people making gains at 3 days a week, but I personally can't do with less than 7 days a week, I just NEED it. 4. If u started working out then, yes, it does mean ur not working hard enough, but if u have already went past the "Start" stage then no, everything is fine, as long as u can feel ur muscles being sore/burning during ur workout everything is cool.
I know every machine, every dumbbell and barbell maximum weight I did the last time. Some people write it down, I never did, I just memorize. Most times, not even by weight, I know it by location of the dumbbell or the location of the pin in a machine. This is one of the benefits of working out at one particular GYM.
Wow I had never seen the older Athlean X videos. Jeff's videos sure did improve with the years lol. Much more motivating, better delivery, better choice of words....This was somewhat depressing and savage. hahaha. But hey what matters most is the knowledge and Jeff sure IS the man 👊 I absolutetly love this channel and everything it's allowed me to learn.
I was the same way when I started going to the gym. The other guys bench a plate while I was putting on my 10 pound plates, but you can't let it bother you, you will get there!
Y'know its funny, I had been super consistent with gym and diet for 3-4 months on a new training split. Finally started making good gains after about 6 months of struggle slowly learning and figuring out what I need to do to make it all work. But then as a result of a move(sold my house) I lost that consistency and due to my new circumstances just never got it back. Always telling myself next week, next week, always next week. I didn't realize it for a while but I think I actually started to become depressed(unheard of for me). But over 2 days a couple of jeff's old vids just happen to auto play for me and it felt like he was talking directly to me and telling me exactly what I already knew but needed to hear. It's like the cosmos sent Jeff to mentor me in a time of need lol. Time to get that consistency back now instead of next week. Wonder if anyone will actually see this comment on a 5 year old vid. But I feel like Jeff's channel has done something similar for a lot of people.
My problem is not the intensity in the gym. It's getting enough clean calories. I changed all the crap out of my diet and noticed my calories don't add Up to much. ~1500-1800. I need to eat more. I'm getting stronger on my lifts and not getting bigger. = not eating enough.
+Orly Llerena If you're taking a nighttime recovery shake, I've found that that is the easiest way to get in your calories. My metabolism is super high (~3000+ calories a day, and I'm not bulking) so what I do is blend up: ~24 ounces of whole milk, 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 scoop casein protein, eyeball some greek yogurt, some flax seeds, cinnamon, and finally a bunch of peanut butter. So that is normally a ~1000 calorie shake. If you still need more calories then you should incorporate more good fats into your diet. I like peanut butter since you can easily make healthy, high calorie smoothies with it. You can easily make an ~800 calorie smoothie that consists of: ~24 ounces of skim milk, 1 cup oatmeal, 1 banana, a bunch of blueberries, some greek yogurt, some flax seeds, cinnamon, and then a bunch a peanut butter. Like Jeff said it's very easy to get the liquid calories in.
If you have a good blender you can't even tell they are there. With an ok blender you will feel it when you drink it. I had to buy a nutribullet because the other blender was bad. There are magic bullets you can buy for around $30 that should get the job done.
LOL Jeff in high school, "painfully thin," is bigger than me at 37 now. BUT I finally got fed up hating how I looked for years and started a weight gain journey early this year. Up 30 pounds now and it's the hardest thing I've ever done. Well, quitting drinking was harder (quitting smoking was way easier tho haha). So second hardest lol. I just have such a low appetite it's torture to try and get enough calories.
Hey Jeff...thanks for the “no bullshit” video on this subject. Question, I tend to fall into the overtraining trap. The mind easily overcompensates for the body so is there an objective biological blood marker that indicates overtraining? Cortisol? Homocysteine? Thanks in advance for your response. BEST REGARDS, DAVE
Hey guys - so.. I'm lookin for a little advice here possibly. Anything helpful would be greatly appreciated. So I'm 250 lbs - 28% body fat. ( I know, I've let myself go ).. I started working out seriously though about 6 weeks ago, and eating as healthy as possible. I cut all sugar but some from a little fruit - I've cut out grains & most carbs.. I talked to a friend that's been hardcore into fitness & mass building for a long time, and he recommended a Keto diet- so that's what I've been doing. I'm losing weight - slowly, and have been keeping about a 60% health fat, 5% carbs, 35% protein ratio.. I know it's not the 75,5,20 recommended but I've been losing weight and feeling great. I went through keto flu and came out the otherside w more energy than I've had in years. ANYWAY.. ( sorry for the rant ) .. I've been eating about 2500-3000 calories a day - but exercising (some cardio) and lifting almost every day. I'm even starting to see some decent arm shape changes.. my big questions here are.. 1. What should I be doing to lose as much fat as possible - in order to A. Still gain muscle, or B. at least not be losing muscle??? 2. Do you think the keto diet is a good one for gaining muscle while losing fat, or for someone in my situation? 3. Am I getting enough caloric intake? - and are my ratio's too far off from the actual keto recommended 75/5/20 ratio?? 4. I have gross huge man-boobs.. Is there anything that I can do to accelerate getting rid of THEM & getting them more peck-ish specifically besides just doing something like chest an extra day a week? Thanks in advance and really hope someone can shine some insight into this for me, as I truly believe information in all of this will be as useful as the hard work I've been putting in. - Brad -
Not sure if this is good advice. I’m 5’ 6” and used to weigh 210lbs (30 % body fat) Yes, I looked like Peter Parker’s friend from Spider-Man homecoming but pudgier. I looked at what was the popular diet plans and found that a lot ago them were too complicated. So I decided to stick with just chicken breast, vegetables, potatoes, and sweet potatoes through out my diet. For one chicken breast you can prepare ahead of time and it’s still good for a week. Beef and fish, they’re not that great after 2 days. Another thing about chicken breast, you can cook a shit load in the oven and pack it for the week. Did that about 5 months with a mix of weight training, diet, and HiTT. I went from 210 lbs to 140lbs (15 % body fat) Now I’m off that chicken breast diet and back to eating good food (good but healthier). It’s been 4 months and I have gain some muscle weight 150lbs (12% body fat). I know my diet may sound horrible but for me it worked.
I used to be 6'3 365 pounds and 35% body fat honestly sucked. I didn't do any special diet I literally just changed the way I ate in a lifestyle. Its not about dieting because you can't keep a diet up forever, it's a lifestyle change to try and eat in moderation exercise 6 days a week even if you dont lift 6 times get a good cardio day in. I found weight training was super important as well build muscle heighten metabolism. And the one thing I told myself every day is it's not gonna happen tomorrow or the end of the month but if I stick with it it will happen. I'm now 6'3 285 and about 18% it took a year and I still have lots to do. Just remember be better than yourself the day before. Stick with it if you crave a burger eat a burger just not every single day and not at like 7 or 8 at night. Rome wasn't build in a day and neither will you. But I promise you change your lifestyle and fuck diets just eat healthy and in moderation you definitely will change. Oh protine us super important lol and so are carbs but healthy carbs not potato chips and breads and pizza stick with brown rice and quinoa. Stay lifting man and you will achieve your goals
I’m still skinny but I’ve noticed a huge difference in my physique and muscle from when I started 5 months ago. I just need to eat ALOT more but I have a really fast metabolism and I work outside in the heat so I’m sweating all day!
Jordan Gissendaner I’m a sophomore and I play football. Don’t worry about other kids being bigger than you, just outwork them. What position are u trying to play?
asd fgh not true at all... it is a lot easier to sit on your ass all day and night, playing video games or watching shit. Way more difficult to get a fat ass up and work it all off.
SullyGoesOff that’s actually not true because you have to eat an insane amount of calories and if you don’t to get fat it has to be healthy. Gets insanely repetitive. Fat people get to just cut and eat a small portion of what we eat but practically the same food.
@@MassApeeal people have different metabolism rates and skinny people usually have a faster one, as well as fat people have a slower one. Both categories have their own problems: if you're skinny, you burn through the calories faster and there's no calory surplus left to transform it into fat, if you're fat, your body is keeping most of those calories stored more than burned
over 15 years ago I had a Walmart shirt. I always thought it said "Pain is weather leaving the body" and had little sweat droplets around "weather" . It was always the weirdest shirt. I wasn't until years later I actually stopped and looked closely at it and realized it said weakness, not weather.
It's tough being an ectomorph. I've been bodybuilding for a year and haven't gained too much muscle. I have to eat 3500 calories per day to build muscle. I've tried 3000 and it just isn't enough for me
Maybe because he starts off saying, "i think im qualified to say this more than anyone because ive lived it." Like he's the only one. Also, his "painstakingly skinny" phase was not even really skinny, especially compared to his current size. I've seen way bigger transformations.

unknown actors use roids and athletes use roids, yet they’re paid millions of dollars. How the fuck does that make them sissies?
I have had friends who were hard gainers and couldn't gain weight. They used steroids and lost all there gains gave up for 2 years on weight lifting.

Took me years to figure out I've trained poorly my whole life. Athlean X has awesome advice, Jeff Nippard is another. Very easy to fall into that number trap. "Okay I did 3 sets of curls at 8, 3 sets of kickbacks at 8... etc etc." Yeah, but did it CHALLENGE you?? Did you go almost to failure? Etc. Your muscle doesn't care about the number, or the sets.
When you look the same as you did in high school... But you're over 40 and you're ripped now.
@Multorum Unum IKR thought he was mid 30's, damn even more motivation to stick to it.

@Brenyd 44, i think he actually turned 45 a few months ago. not sure tho

That’s why he said “but”
Overtrained here!! I know, I know. I am ADDICTED!!! I am ADDICTED to exercising! What a great feeling! Thanks, man. You are such a great teacher. I feel your love for this
I used to overtrain all the time because my friends used to stay until they were drained out. I've been killing my workouts in about 1 hour more or less and I'm seeing more results
wtf and I really started gaining strenght and muscles when I started raising my workouts from 1h to 2h oO
3 months in and 2-3 pounds of muscles (natty, doing it since 7 years and 200pounds)
guess everyone is different :/ youre lucky
PoppinCheese I'm the same way I gotta be in that bitch forever
John Neino your talking about the gym right
my little brother does arm days till he cant lift anymore, and reduces weight as he does more reps, my arms are bigger at 3 sets of 8 of dumbbells suitable for me :P
Amen brother! 3 sets of 8 or so is much better than endless sets of 'burning' out the muscle. i made that mistake many years ago. keep it up!
My favorite quote that pushes me everyday is “Suffer now and live the rest of your life a champion”
"...painfully thin."

You skinny days look is my goal right now 😂😂
Wtf
yohan plays You’re more likely to accomplish your long-term goals if you break it up into smaller short-term goals.
I started training at 120 lbs with a goal of 200lbs. I broke it up into 10lbs intervals. Now, I’m 160 lbs.
Jeff appreciate your coaching and information, it has changed my workouts so much over the last year. Thanks for continuing to put out such great videos 👍😁
Omg I can't count the times I see dudes at the gym lifting super fast and thinking they are doing something lol
Super Saiyan Bro same. I just laugh in my head
jerkin2200 I would help them out but they will just lash out
thats actually for a different purpose called power training and doing lots of reps fast will still give you tension time to increase muscle mass
Dude if you’re going for Olympic lifts that’s how you got to do it. Lift fast and drop under the weight faster. It’s a different game than just bulking.
Daniel Walmsley trust me, the people where I am from ain't going to no Olympics haha
This is world class motivation!! Hands down the best in his class on YT!!
Spoken like a true therapist! I’ve been a practicing PTA now for 24 years and understand you can’t do anything for anyone except educate them, that being said I’m not the smartest in the gym working out it seems like after watching your video. I’m 58 yo with a TKA and heart disease who feels like time is running out and have recently tried to make a example for my patients, I work LTC . So I have been spending a lot of time in the gym lately as I was 325# and now down to 270 # but spend 1.5 to 2 hours in the gym three to four days in a week, sometimes more. I spent the first few months just working on core and cardio but have now included legs, back, chest and arms. The work is just that work, not afraid! So I’m in I haven’t been eating great but better than I used to but periods of no food because of time and lack of appetite. I appreciate your candor and willingness to help others in this crazy ass world. I’m subscribed and following and looking forward to more! Steve
There are no shortcuts indeed. Thanks, Jeff.
over 300 thumbs down? didn't they like the truth.
Roiders
I has same question. :/
I often train over 3 hours and mostly 5 days a week. Sometimes I feel absolutely gassed out and finished after 50 minutes of heavy deadlifts I then sit down for 5-6 minutes dig deep and tell myself: "That was just warm up" pick up the same weight I was barely able to complete 10 reps and bang out 15-20 reps with it the last few reps I feel like it's only by chance, God's grace, whatever it doesn't even feel like I am lifting it anymore. I get all hyped up again and go hard into the second hour. I'm not enhanced and I cringed when I heard Jeff say it's either one or the other. Just because he can't imagine that people can go balls out for hours, it felt like an insult when he balanced peds and long workouts on a scale like that, immediately deserved a DISLIKE!
Are you trolling?? I can appreciate your drive, but you are incorrect. Basically, I read your post and right off the bat I can tell you're a novice with a poor standard for what high intensity(heavy) really is. How can I tell? The fact that you chose deadlifting for your example. If you can get more than 4-5 reps on a set of HEAVY deadlifts your intensity is in the shitter. I won't even get into the other problems with 20 rep deadlifts... Good luck to you.
akowned1 ahaha agreed the guy's probably trolling
The dislikes are from quitters
They probably at home watching sesame street.
Facts
I disliked because i actually like to deadlift...
I’m a quitter & I didn’t dislike the video. I just quit watching 🖕
The Likes are also Quitters, The people who quit Overtraining, quit repping when your overtraining.
Your channel is a blessing,.. Motivation and information at its best, THANX ALOT
I look forward too and dread my 2 chest days and everyone that know me knows I give it every ounce of life to get those dumbbells up. People constantly tell me to take a small step back, but, not gonna happen. I feel fatigued every day, but, I have goals, I dont want to look like me. I dont like me, but 1 day I will become the me I want to see. I'm not getting any younger so I damn sure better give 200%, put the information I get here into practice, and bury any excuses, another gym week begins. 💪
That's the spirit mate, same boat as you, not getting any younger and I'm shooting for the top. Keep it up 🤟💪

G'day Jeff. I am 43yo male and have just started going to the gym 3 months ago, i am now 54kg and am a hard gainer. I can't seem to eat more calaries on a regular basis. I have definitely seen an improvement and am stoked both physically & mentally with the change. I have had multiple sclerosis for 13 years now and just use the cable machines because of my lack of balance. I really like your videos mate and get alot of knowledge from them. Cheers👍
Bruhh I'm 5'9" and 120lbs... about that painfully skinny remark... you obviously havent seen me 😂😂

Ned, back in the day I was 25 yes old, 6ft and 143 pounds. Through compound exercise (squats, bench press, shoulder press and pull ups) I got up to 189 pounds in under two years. It's not a quick fix,but doable.

10:55 - Our goal is to make Jeff happy I see.
after a set I'm cursing the next set in my head
That's when you know what you're doing is working, lol.
Tremendous video, to the point. Your knowledge in physical therapy surpasses everyone else who thinks they're video's on training are great. They don't come close to your knowledgeable expierence and explanation of how the body works.
"you're doing 55 sets a day and your chest looks like shit!" 😂😂😂
Literally the best and most honest advice I've ever heard....nice man most appreciate.....keep it up
Jeff went from, "My name jeff!" To HI IM JEFF CAVALIERE!
few questions:
is whey protein that important and may effect your gains ?
is deadlift ok for short teen guys ?
is 4 days a week of wight lifting enough ?
is not feeling sore the next morning means that you didn't workout hard enough ?
are you an angel ?
Let me answer those question on behalf of previous athlean x videos:
1. Whey protein is super, if you're diet lag in the protein area. Always good to be on the safe side.
2. Deadlift is always good, BUT only if performed correctly. Might be too risky for a teenager. All though I'm 16 myself and deadlift works super for me.
3. 4 days a week, is very optimal for lifters - all the way up to the advanced state. Examples: Upper & Lower - Push & Pull.
+Imperi4lEdits thanks for the reply i'm 16 to but i'm 5.4 so yea... GENES
btw i workout 4 days a week with weights and 1 day cardio without weights and 2 days rest
+ i'm actually trying to make gains without any kind or type that have any connection to steroids or supplements but idk if i lack some protein or not :)
me too im 16 5'4 deadlifts works for me also, whey is good as I started to go to college, recovery is real good with whey because of protein in it
+karl cesario the thing is i'm not happy with my height at all so i'm trying not to effect it in any way so that's why i'm asking will it effect my height ? cause it's just few more years till my height stops (growing is the word?)
+Sattam 1. Whey protein is overrated... try just drinking milk straight after a workout, or grains with cheese on top, or even a few eggs (I heard egg protein is the highest quality).
2. Yes, if done correctly it'll burn tons of fat and build a ton of muscle, and if u do 1 arm deadlifts (keep dumbbell/barbell at the side) then god help ur WHOLE back not just ur lower back it's that good!
3. Yes, I heard people making gains at 3 days a week, but I personally can't do with less than 7 days a week, I just NEED it.
4. If u started working out then, yes, it does mean ur not working hard enough, but if u have already went past the "Start" stage then no, everything is fine, as long as u can feel ur muscles being sore/burning during ur workout everything is cool.
I know every machine, every dumbbell and barbell maximum weight I did the last time. Some people write it down, I never did, I just memorize. Most times, not even by weight, I know it by location of the dumbbell or the location of the pin in a machine. This is one of the benefits of working out at one particular GYM.
Thanks Jeff… I will start my journey of eating the nutrition dense foods from now onwards. I believe you that i will change for sure 🙏🏻
*The things you fear the most are the things that changes you the most*
I loved this quote, Thank You for the motivation!

"the impending doom of the bar" haunts me every day
Loved this video, it sold me completely. Just showed how passionate u r about helping people improve. Good work
Make a video about , getting abs and growing muscles at the same time.
Wow I had never seen the older Athlean X videos. Jeff's videos sure did improve with the years lol. Much more motivating, better delivery, better choice of words....This was somewhat depressing and savage. hahaha. But hey what matters most is the knowledge and Jeff sure IS the man 👊 I absolutetly love this channel and everything it's allowed me to learn.
I was the same way when I started going to the gym. The other guys bench a plate while I was putting on my 10 pound plates, but you can't let it bother you, you will get there!
I find your videos extremely helpful. I’am 66 love to work out , I haven’t seen resold
Y'know its funny, I had been super consistent with gym and diet for 3-4 months on a new training split. Finally started making good gains after about 6 months of struggle slowly learning and figuring out what I need to do to make it all work. But then as a result of a move(sold my house) I lost that consistency and due to my new circumstances just never got it back. Always telling myself next week, next week, always next week. I didn't realize it for a while but I think I actually started to become depressed(unheard of for me). But over 2 days a couple of jeff's old vids just happen to auto play for me and it felt like he was talking directly to me and telling me exactly what I already knew but needed to hear. It's like the cosmos sent Jeff to mentor me in a time of need lol.
Time to get that consistency back now instead of next week. Wonder if anyone will actually see this comment on a 5 year old vid. But I feel like Jeff's channel has done something similar for a lot of people.
When Jeff holds the microphone he makes sure to Squeeze and hold at the top getting the perfect amount of time under tension
Good Speech Bro not just for Gym Growth but Life Growth
My problem is not the intensity in the gym. It's getting enough clean calories. I changed all the crap out of my diet and noticed my calories don't add
Up to much. ~1500-1800. I need to eat more. I'm getting stronger on my lifts and not getting bigger. = not eating enough.
+Orly Llerena If you're taking a nighttime recovery shake, I've found that that is the easiest way to get in your calories. My metabolism is super high (~3000+ calories a day, and I'm not bulking) so what I do is blend up: ~24 ounces of whole milk, 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 scoop casein protein, eyeball some greek yogurt, some flax seeds, cinnamon, and finally a bunch of peanut butter. So that is normally a ~1000 calorie shake. If you still need more calories then you should incorporate more good fats into your diet. I like peanut butter since you can easily make healthy, high calorie smoothies with it. You can easily make an ~800 calorie smoothie that consists of: ~24 ounces of skim milk, 1 cup oatmeal, 1 banana, a bunch of blueberries, some greek yogurt, some flax seeds, cinnamon, and then a bunch a peanut butter. Like Jeff said it's very easy to get the liquid calories in.
Constant healthy snacking can help that. Carry around some almonds, dried fruit, etc
thats awesome advice on getting in the calories through some healthy shakes thank you
If you have a good blender you can't even tell they are there. With an ok blender you will feel it when you drink it. I had to buy a nutribullet because the other blender was bad. There are magic bullets you can buy for around $30 that should get the job done.
+Orly Llerena You could blend breakfast cereal with your protein powder. I do this with Oat, Apple, Cinnamon Granola.
LOL Jeff in high school, "painfully thin," is bigger than me at 37 now.
BUT I finally got fed up hating how I looked for years and started a weight gain journey early this year. Up 30 pounds now and it's the hardest thing I've ever done. Well, quitting drinking was harder (quitting smoking was way easier tho haha). So second hardest lol. I just have such a low appetite it's torture to try and get enough calories.
When his skinny phase still has more muscle than you😂
Awesome stuff Jeff! Love your passion and info you share for free without having to get your workout program. Thank you!!
Hes correct since I've started to eat and follow his work out routines while staying at home. Ive seen a huge difference of the last 2 months
Hey Jeff...thanks for the “no bullshit” video on this subject. Question, I tend to fall into the overtraining trap. The mind easily overcompensates for the body so is there an objective biological blood marker that indicates overtraining? Cortisol? Homocysteine? Thanks in advance for your response.
BEST REGARDS,
DAVE
Hey guys - so.. I'm lookin for a little advice here possibly. Anything helpful would be greatly appreciated.
So I'm 250 lbs - 28% body fat. ( I know, I've let myself go ).. I started working out seriously though about 6 weeks ago, and eating as healthy as possible.
I cut all sugar but some from a little fruit - I've cut out grains & most carbs..
I talked to a friend that's been hardcore into fitness & mass building for a long time, and he recommended a Keto diet- so that's what I've been doing.
I'm losing weight - slowly, and have been keeping about a 60% health fat, 5% carbs, 35% protein ratio.. I know it's not the 75,5,20 recommended but I've been losing weight and feeling great. I went through keto flu and came out the otherside w more energy than I've had in years.
ANYWAY.. ( sorry for the rant ) .. I've been eating about 2500-3000 calories a day - but exercising (some cardio) and lifting almost every day.
I'm even starting to see some decent arm shape changes.. my big questions here are..
1. What should I be doing to lose as much fat as possible - in order to A. Still gain muscle, or B. at least not be losing muscle???
2. Do you think the keto diet is a good one for gaining muscle while losing fat, or for someone in my situation?
3. Am I getting enough caloric intake? - and are my ratio's too far off from the actual keto recommended 75/5/20 ratio??
4. I have gross huge man-boobs.. Is there anything that I can do to accelerate getting rid of THEM & getting them more peck-ish specifically besides just doing something like chest an
extra day a week?
Thanks in advance and really hope someone can shine some insight into this for me, as I truly believe information in all of this will be as useful as the hard work I've been putting in.

GameChamber bro try carb cycling, I’ve been doin it for 3 months and I’ve lost 20 pounds
Not sure if this is good advice. I’m 5’ 6” and used to weigh 210lbs (30 % body fat) Yes, I looked like Peter Parker’s friend from Spider-Man homecoming but pudgier. I looked at what was the popular diet plans and found that a lot ago them were too complicated. So I decided to stick with just chicken breast, vegetables, potatoes, and sweet potatoes through out my diet. For one chicken breast you can prepare ahead of time and it’s still good for a week. Beef and fish, they’re not that great after 2 days. Another thing about chicken breast, you can cook a shit load in the oven and pack it for the week. Did that about 5 months with a mix of weight training, diet, and HiTT. I went from 210 lbs to 140lbs (15 % body fat) Now I’m off that chicken breast diet and back to eating good food (good but healthier). It’s been 4 months and I have gain some muscle weight 150lbs (12% body fat). I know my diet may sound horrible but for me it worked.
Lol
Research intermittent fasting. Do as much research as you can on it and experiment. Worked for me. Hope this helps.
I used to be 6'3 365 pounds and 35% body fat honestly sucked. I didn't do any special diet I literally just changed the way I ate in a lifestyle. Its not about dieting because you can't keep a diet up forever, it's a lifestyle change to try and eat in moderation exercise 6 days a week even if you dont lift 6 times get a good cardio day in. I found weight training was super important as well build muscle heighten metabolism. And the one thing I told myself every day is it's not gonna happen tomorrow or the end of the month but if I stick with it it will happen. I'm now 6'3 285 and about 18% it took a year and I still have lots to do. Just remember be better than yourself the day before. Stick with it if you crave a burger eat a burger just not every single day and not at like 7 or 8 at night. Rome wasn't build in a day and neither will you. But I promise you change your lifestyle and fuck diets just eat healthy and in moderation you definitely will change. Oh protine us super important lol and so are carbs but healthy carbs not potato chips and breads and pizza stick with brown rice and quinoa. Stay lifting man and you will achieve your goals

asd fgh not true at all... it is a lot easier to sit on your ass all day and night, playing video games or watching shit. Way more difficult to get a fat ass up and work it all off.
SullyGoesOff that’s actually not true because you have to eat an insane amount of calories and if you don’t to get fat it has to be healthy. Gets insanely repetitive. Fat people get to just cut and eat a small portion of what we eat but practically the same food.
@@MassApeeal people have different metabolism rates and skinny people usually have a faster one, as well as fat people have a slower one. Both categories have their own problems: if you're skinny, you burn through the calories faster and there's no calory surplus left to transform it into fat, if you're fat, your body is keeping most of those calories stored more than burned

over 15 years ago I had a Walmart shirt. I always thought it said "Pain is weather leaving the body" and had little sweat droplets around "weather" . It was always the weirdest shirt.
I wasn't until years later I actually stopped and looked closely at it and realized it said weakness, not weather.
There is a fine line between pain and soreness, knowing the two saves you a lot of recovery time.
Pain is your friend, it lets you know somethings wrong.
"Painfully skinny kid" , wohoo, what would he say about me :D
Dude don't worry about it. don't feel bad because you're "painfully skinny" because guess what, people envy people like us.

haha tell me about it guys, some people can just look at weights and it comes on, not so easy for us skinny fuckers, still, dont give up!
Painfully thin is better than disgustingly fat.
It's tough being an ectomorph. I've been bodybuilding for a year and haven't gained too much muscle. I have to eat 3500 calories per day to build muscle. I've tried 3000 and it just isn't enough for me
