I just got mine done; I am at 17% body fat-- way better then the 32% I used to be last year! you're an inspiration Will and love the videos!
Unreal job man! Love hearing that stuff. Keep working hard bro 💪🏼
Amazing 💖
that’s awsome bro
Thats awsome, great work!!
Awesome!
If Will is 8.5% then I'm 15%. Good enough! Time for cheeseburgers
And I’m 6
Usually more veins are present at 8%. But Will is as honest as it comes as fitness TH-camrs go. Maybe he needs a DexaScan.
He's between 15-17% rn based on the eye test. 8% is beach/magazine lean
@@EA-ps4wc more like 12-14%
@@EA-ps4wc more like 12ish, but yeah, def not 8
I am from Germany but live in London. I actually met Helmut. We talked a bit and the only thing he told me is to reduce sugar and don't eat anything with sugar. He looks so shredded. He can also do a split. Very impressive considering he is in his 50's.
That makes a lot of sense.
Sugar is poison
@@Moi_81 No it doesn't? Avoiding refined sugars is good, but sugar is a type of carbohydrate, something your body definitely needs. The fact that Helmut is from the UK doesn't really support his natural status either, as it is a lot easier to get them there and not illegal to own or use them. He might look lean, but he is juicier than a fat piece of wagyu steak.
@@awdwadawda352 i think they meant if you eat ALOT of sugar
@@Lalaland-and-lululand OP literally says: To reduce sugar and don't eat anything with sugar. You could literally only eat carbs/sugar, as long as you stay within what your body needs.
The editing has gone up leaps and bounds in the past couple years Will, your humor is on point as always as well!
Fun story, I used to train at the same London gym as this dude - he saw me get a 200kg DL one day and went "Oh there's another 10kg there easily", and I put it on and lifted it. Lovely guy, props to Helmut
Was that Fitness First on Tottenham Ct Rd? I used to see him when I trained there.
Me too
Oxford Circus
Where's he at now?
He seems very quiet.
You have to factor in his tall height to truly appreciate his size.
i used to see him at fitness first bake street and Tottenham court road one as well
I maintained a 5% body fat for 6 months post show. I was so lean it was painful to walk due to having literally no fat on the soles of my feet, I was having vision problems and was fucking freezing 24/7. I ended up with an eating disorder that took over two years to get through. This barely scratches the surface. You do NOT want to be shredded and certainly not for long.
Thanks for posting this. A lot of us want to be at this %5 point but not most of us know cons about it.
@@punpun3257 contest prep creates a ton of body image problems. I had never looked this "good" before and I failed to educate myself on the ramifications of being so lean until it was already too late
How did you fixed it ?
@@Paraclef just eat more healthy fats I'm guessing
For me it's the opposite, feeling way better and more energized at 5%
You're jokes are SO on point! 🤣 Love the video and your sense of humor 🔥
I absolutely love your videos. They are so fun and informative. I especially love the videos where you challenge people. You're awesome. Thank you
“Would you rather be happy or would you rather be shredded?”
This is one of the best ways I’ve heard how bad being shredded is. I got down to 7% for 4 years and I never want to be that lean again. I was hangry constantly. I’d have to eat mid workout some days.
For 4 years??
Jheeeeeeeez, that’s nuts, I stayed at that over this last summer and I felt like pure ass the whole time, not hungry but just mega tired and crap
@@matthewadams4452 yeah I did rowing wrestling, and tennis in highschool during that stretch and my family naturally has high metabolisms. As soon as I stopped them I felt so much better. I didn’t even know any different I just thought feeling that hungry all the time was part of puberty.
Same!
@@rikmcdik6662 i'm at 11% from 17 and it's hard i can't imagine how hard it's at 7%
@@Ivan-lo1mu the 10-15% range is ideal if you ask me. Anything below that is just miserable, even for somebody like I was that just had a ridiculous metabolism and did a ton of cardio and calisthenics for my sports

He probably meant one chicken breast
Bruh I was thinking that's absolutely ridiculous
would be lovely tho

First time watching your videos Will, I must say a really enjoyed it, tons of info wrapped in with a great sense of humor while keeping the focus of the subject, Great Work!
12:18 loved the little sneak peek into Will’s family. Having been born in 🇮🇳 and living in the 🇺🇸 I miss my Grandma’s food!
For someone who isn't even 30 yet Will has a really impressive amount of maturity and perspective. Its especially impressive that he manages to keep that outlook while being in the industry that he's in.
What, he’s just acting like a normal person. He’s going to be 28
Totally true man. He’s extremely self-aware.
@@willwright9317 self aware?
Derek at moreplatesmoredates is extremely mature for at the same age range
Bro what. He's a fully grown adult lmao. Why do you expect him to act like a 12 year old.
I think Will's inaccurate bf percentage reading has to do with the fact that he was bloated. Drinking lots of water before a bodyfat test lowers the reading since by holding extra water you're technically gaining lean mass. I think Will is about 13-14% in actuality.
Makes perfect sense
18+ definitely 👍 would give leg to shop 😂 that's is over that 🥂
Also carbohydrates make you bloated
And steroids
and you are saying he drank a lot of water?
Will is one of the reasons why I started lifting and watching what I eat. Thanks man!
Is inspiring to always listen to you on how you guide people on body building and healt all at the same time. Love your good work
You inspired me to lose weight during the lockdown in 2020 which led to a near 30kg loss in fat and gaining much in muscle... Thank you for making fitness fun ❤️

Nothing better than having Will upload at the right time when you're scrolling through TH-cam not knowing what to watch😍
Even better when you searching for a video when youre eating
Facts
I’m Just a young mexican stoner tryna make it out the hood by smoking weed on my TH-cam channel💯💯
For me it's when he uploads and I'm just about to go to the gym soon.
maybe don't watch anything and so something productive
I laughed way too hard at "he probably needs carbs to get him through his nightmares"
If everyone was as cool as will at the gym i don’t think most people would have a problem going he seems like a genuine guy that wants to help no matter your size or abilities to lift
No one cares about you at the gym I promise. That's all in your head. Everyone is focused on their own workouts and in their own head thinking about their day and plans.
Ya? How bout the time i went and some jacked dudes were laughing at me and told me i had no idea just how hard it is to look like them and i was wasting my time im 115lbs so ya man it happens
@@Imperial-simp_destroyer Just ignore them and do your own thing. Who cares if those idiots laugh?
Also did this actually happen or are you making this up?
@@natural5546 no it actually happened I don’t weigh much and ya i know i can ignore which i did but dude who wants to here grown men that are juice heads say stuff to you like as if i was a joke its childish hence why i just do home workouts its way less stressful i never have to wait and never have to watch douche bags flex in the mirror…..or have some girl recording a tick-tok just to make me look like a perv lol
Dude you’re one of the only fitness TH-camrs I trust man, you really care about people just being happy with health, no push to be “shredded” or live a boring life, thank you for all the inspiration, I can’t wait to see how big your channel grows and all the deserved success, keep it up Will 💪

I love how will always manages to uplift my mood and not see life so seriously. The way he said if his body fat is high blame it on sushi just makes me feel to light hearted compared to all the freaking out and overthinking people so about being extremely lean and restrictive. Thanks will for the balanced and healthy approach. Love your videos and humour
It can be done I ended up being unable to eat all my favourite deserts as a result of migraines desert isn't fun anymore now. The deserts make the pills for migraines not work diet pills. Very good though. I had gotten too fond of dessert lot of weight to lose. I'm hoping I can try get very lean someday
thanks for the meal plans and workout regiments
He trains at my gym in London and omg pictures and videos don’t do him any justice this man has the most insane striations ever he is so lean it’s absolutely crazy. Saw him doing lateral raises and on god his delta looked like a bunch of strings and fibres just put together it’s ludicrous
It’s also pretty disgusting. I’m surprised more people don’t think this as well.

Doubt you will see this but how did it go?
@@lydiaparker2931 it went well, actually. i got injured in a soccer game a couple months in so i was understandably out for a little bit, but i went back regardless. nowadays i do cardio and more specific movements that need equipment in a gym near my home, and I also managed to sweet talk the football coach into letting me use the weight room during my open hour so i can do free weights. i don't really watch the youtubers anymore but they were the step i needed to get out there and get hooked on the gym.
i had a session with this gentleman at fitness first london haringey , i had no idea who he was , he was very supportive kind and helpul to me , what a legand
I have watched a hundred weight lifting videos in the past few months and you are by far the most charismatic and funniest creator. I love it. Thanks brother. First time actually subbing.
ALWAYSSS providing the funniest, educational and clean content Will! LOVE IT! You are one of channels I go to have a laugh and be entertained. KEEP EM COMIN!
Love your videos man 👍🏽
Big lights will inspire youuuu. Idk bout u guys but I love the music they got playing in the gym
Diet,workout and stand up comedy all at the same time,bro youre amazing. Keep it up bro,your videos keeps getting better and better.stay safe nd keep us inspired nd entertained.
I'm sure the article meant chicken breast, not a whole chicken. A lot of German bodybuilders keep fat very low and go with high carbs. Take a look at Roman Fritz' diet.
I think that the most logical, it's impossible eating ass like that get shredded like that 1770 kcal for breakfast?? That's crazy
I subscribed to your channel not only because of the content but because you're funny asf
you seem like a real cool dude. thanks for the videos

Thanks, Love these videos! Honestly, i'm 50 & got into Lifting again 3 years ago. Initially it was mostly about vanity & getting bulked up & shredded...but I really took a good like at my Life and what I wanted out of it. I chose to focus instead on Health & quality of Life first, now i'm on more of a maintenance plan. I'm comfortable with where i am at, and would rather be Happy!
We've all had that face eating something too spicy thinking we we're brave. Keep it up Will, your humor is unmatched!

Nice! Congratulations. What did you do as far as diet and exercise?
Good shit dude
absolutely insane man. can i ask how you did it.
Jesus. Well done
Wow, that’s a very impressive transition.
thank you for these videos man ive been going through something and your the only youtuber that has genuinly made me happy and helped me feel that much better everyday
I had no idea what kind of junk I was eating my whole life. I got terribly fat and worst thing is I wasn't noticing it until I went to doctor for a checkup and my results were terrible. That's when I decided to start living healthy. Bad thing is I am lazy and hate to research about food and I just couldn't count calories all the time so I decided to invest in meal plan from Next Level Diet. Best thing I got myself in this life. I lost so much fat and got so much more energy when I started eating properly. Healthy diet means healthy body and healthy mind.
Yeah, good diet can really change your life.👍
Can you share diet
Can somebody please pay for my diet. I wanna lose weight and body fat. But can't afford it.

5:50: On one hand, in the past, a part of me would have told me that being shredded buys happiness and women. But after months of following a nutritionnist on intuitive eating because I was (and still am a bit) being way to restrictive and overreacting to certain foods I perceived as pure evil (when I didn't before) as well as using the gym and exercice in excess to feel less guilty (basicly orthorexia). Especially since I was a fortunate person who not only never had any weight issues, but also never had to count macros due to my good relationship with my hunger and satiety cues as well as a following in general a diet rich in fiber, good protein and fats. Nowadays, I focus more on a realistic approach where I try to stay fit, muscular and slighty ripped on the abdomen, but not to an extreme degree since this is how I find a good balance between physical and psychological wellbeing. OS now I would say happiness over being shredded. Sorry for the long comment so here's a potato for you all. 🥔
Thank you for sharing that. You hear so many stories of weightloss 'gone too far' or strong EDs that it's interesting to hear someone with good habits, still getting 'ab anxiety' leading to orthorexia. (Or close to.) Glad you're doing well now, good luck with your goals.
Also love the carbot Malthael pic.
Bro haha ‘women’ won’t bring you happiness. Happiness comes from within. You may have came to that conclusion, idk I didn’t read the whole thing, but don’t think other people (women are counted as people..) will give you happiness. It comes from yourself only
I’ve learned after 10 years of lifting that women don’t give a shit how shredded and strong you are. You will always be stronger than them which already means you are strong in their mind. benching 315 vs benching 225 is pretty much the same thing to them, and if you so much as have any kind of ab definition then you are golden.
Of course there are the minority who actually care about how strong you are and how shredded you are but for them there are always bigger, stronger, more shredded guys than you so (most of which are on PED’s lol) so that’s an uphill battle as well.
@@chi7818 I mean, to be fair, in my case that's pretty much spot on. Since I lift I can recognise what's impressive or not, but a guy's bench PR isn't something I value when looking for a potentional partner. :'')
@@esmee6308 haha yeah I wish I knew sooner instead of powerlifting for years, getting big and strong, and causing all kinds of stress to my body that it didn’t need.
Tip for all the young people out there from some random guy, work out for your health and for some aesthetics. Use lower weight and more reps (10-15 rep ranges is what I do now) but still progressively overload for the gains. Focus on form and not weight because no one gives a shit how much you lift. They might be impressed for the moment while you do the lift but that’s it, not worth risking injury and the extra stress for your body. You’ll still get stronger and more aesthetic but it’s more sustainable. I mean that’s what all the older people do because it’s what works and it’s safer. Learn from us old guys lol.
i use to do crunches and the mid air leg lifts. as a combo it's just unmatched
The shot of you skipping to the pull-ups had me laughing so hard. Also what is the song playing around 8:20?

One if the funniest videos you've ever done Will, but still informative. Had me laughing out loud!
Your videos always make my day 😁
Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching Jordan !
Standing calf raises with a deep deep stretch at the bottom are the best thing ever. I am genetically gifted a tiny bit, in that my proportion of calf to thigh is very good. My whole body is well proportioned, but to short to be a pro BB. I thought about it way back, but have no interest in PEDS.
Now I just want to get back in shape and inspire people to never surrender to 'old'.
Calves. Train heavy, often and with everything. Smith Machine with blocks, or step built mine. Isolate as much as possible. I was doing 300-350lb on it. Just like everything else, you gotta train it hard if you want results. Do twice a week. And make it a muscle group. You do multiple exercises of triceps. Do the same for calves. There should be 3 different exercises for them. Calf machine, smith machine, single lifts with a plate on the edge of the smith. Use the leg press machine and max it as much as you can safely. Balls at the bottom of the platform, push hold, allow your heels to go past the platform.
And FLEX them in your downtime.
The editing on this video was absolutely perfect, great work as always !
There is no way he’s 8.5%, you can barely see his abs, under 10% you would start to see lower ab veins and defined abs. He is at least 14-15%.

Being blessed with shredded genetics is tough. Joint aches and pains due to low body fat are hard to avoid as well as hormone levels going out of whack if you’re too lean for too long.
You are doing something today that your future self will thank you for.
3:42 we all know no matter what the answer to that question is always Will came first
i was at 31% body fat , shredded it to 24% thanks to will, i realized i shall keeping pushing my limits everyday and keep tracking calories , I've gained strength and i feel much more active
great video - very John Mayer esque
This is amazing
I'm now at 22% down from 38% at 57. Did it by IF, trail running (street running didn't do much), BFR resistance but mostly kept carbs between 70 - 120g from now on. My typical carb intake when I was at 38% was about 4 - 500g daily... no wonder I couldn't lose weight.
That pretty impressive. That said your body weight is going to be dictated by calories most importantly. Not body fat percentage is different but if you're just trying to lose actual weight you can do it eating 1500 calories of cookies a day it doesn't matter calories will take precedence when it comes to weight loss but not body fat loss for sure
I'm about 12%. If ever I go lower I start feeling pretty low on energy. Also recovered from a ED years back so going too low can be triggering.

Best part of the day, coffee + Will 👏 thanks for always providing us with the absolute best quality content🙏
Love your question about wanting to be shredded or happy. I'm 170cm, 70kg and got around 23% body fat. I look good when I'm flexing, got 4 abs and decent shoulders/back despite not lifting, but when I'm slack, you can really see all the fat. I had pancakes the other day, got bloated, looked at myself and just felt miserable. I'm currently on a stricter running program (min. 250'/week) and keep my calories at ~15k/week. It's not bad from a diet perspective, I just avoid ordering out, eating deep-fried stuff and sweets, stuff like that, but it's like, progress is slow (duh) and I've been trying my best to be both in good physical and mental health. It's just...hard.
Keep going Bro. You're on the right track to be shredded in a year or so
you got abs at 70kg god damn
@@majorrazer4713 at 170cm, 70kg is about the weight you start seeing abs. My height is 166cm and i weigh 73 kgs and I have a decent amount of muscle and I have just about visible abs.
@@amitkeni4794 well i never had abs above 20% body fat
@@majorrazer4713 it's a lot to do with genetics too
The quad site needs to be performed seated, so the leg is not inadvertantly tensed while standing.
Will mentioned training calves 3 days a week. The calves are very stubborn and Arnold would train them 7 days a week, so that’s what I do. Still not a lot of growth but it is worth it if you’re insecure about you calves. Also love your channel man
Calf size is genetic, it's all about where the muscle inserts into the achilles. If you have high insertions you'll be better at running and jumping but you will never get massive calves, that's reserved for the low insertion guys.
@@Win7ermu7eAll muscle insertions are genetic , you can still grow what you've got.
Something i suggest you try if your calves dont grow from calf raises and such, try sprinting and short-medium distance running, with emphasis spending as much time in the air/only the tip of your feet touching the ground while still trying to go as fast as you can which means your calves will be like springs, taking the brunt of your bodyweight + momentum, and also that requires maximum power exertion which is basically what you do when you try to lift heavy and i find that if you do really go hard, especially with the sprinting, you will get very sore calves and make them grow. If you did this and didn't get sore, then you didn't do enough volume. Calf raises and other calf exercises you can do at the gym are annoying and dont even give me the same results as sprinting and sprinting is a lot more fun.
Love your videos! Greg will be having a fit over this lmao
I used to train abs, guess they were really fatigued one day and BOOM gave myself an inguinal hernia. Now I stay away from anything involving core since the doc said I cant get the surgery until it's more serious.
I got my BF down to low single digits when training for Ironman and still keeping in circuits and heavy weights. 5hrs a day on average. Yes I had no life except work and training and just ate salad, chicken and tuna. No choc or sweets ever. Sports drinks so didn’t bonk during long cardio sessions. I bonked a lot. I went to bed hungry every night and was freezing cold all the time.
