New channel called Minimalift? 🙋♂
DO IT
Yes! Your fitness stuff got me back to the gym! ❤
You should definitely do it! New era of Matt the Minimalift!
YES!
Sam Sulek style, surely...
Feel free to annoy me as much as you like my guy, it’s been an absolute pleasure working with you, and it’s been a pleasure listening to how simple yet informative and accurate your lessons are on getting jacked and strong. Another awesome video Matt.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of it 🙏
Would you care to share the program that you and Matt created? I know its very individual but could be interesting to see what exercises you guys did :)
@@Orio1231there’s no way he should or would share that. Just go to LiftVault, there’s hundreds of PL programs if you want to peruse
@@Orio1231 The link to the program is in the description of Matt's powerlifting video that came just before this. I'd share it but I think that would get flagged as spam
That was so inspiring! Thank you both for doing this and putting out.
How do I properly deload?

All that you need in life is already inside you
i've been following you for 5 years and every video of yours has improved my life
wth wait so have i 😭 crazy time flies
Lesson #10 Dad strength is real
What we put in your body eventually become us
So proud of you Matt! You're such an inspiration 🙏 sharing love to your baby boy and wife, too❤️
Been watching your channel since 2018, also watched your documentary before I knew it was you. Love the journey all these years
Carmen's video quality has been gradually improving. Thanks for the great content.
Matt is the only youtuber i have been watching consistently for the past 6 years - the vids never tire - thank you for making these, helping me do better!
Matt, I'm 36 too and I'm also in my peak shape now than I was my whole shitty life before! Buddy, thank you for this great video. Btw I also quit drinking and smoking a while ago and started recording vids :) I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for this vid!
Keep it up man, you're doing great. I'm 41 and I feel better than I did 10 years ago.
Thx, man@@cryptosarcasm66
W
LFG
35 and same thing here. Stronger than ever due to being more consistent than ever
Matt, we went to middle school and high school together (Kailey Ibsen). Your "no sugar for 30 days" video was just recommended to me by YT. Small world! Glad you're doing well.
Next vid: as big as possible in 100 days
Great video Matt, i have been doing a program with a personal trainer since January, and its great to have someone, who tells you how to proper do a lift! Its my 2 time trying this, and my first time was horrible, the trainer was only doing it for fat money, so this time i was more sceptical, but i must admit, this dude have helped me to enjoy fitness! I have set a personal goal to be in the best shape of my life, before im turning 40! And its a fun goal to have! Not only to loose weight, but also gain muscle etc. i have an office job, and i was starting to have issues with my back, where the blood stream wasnt great between the shoulders, due to looking at a monitor for 8-12 hours a day, so it was either chiroprator or getting my ass of the chair and doing something for myself! I choose the last part! For now, im actually enjoying heading to the gym!
Seb is a killer coach. I’ve learned a lot by watching just a few of his videos.
go you! i realized so much about working out and strength training was mental - it's your brain holding you back, not the body. you inspire me every day! (content and lifestyle now too!)
I love that your wife is so supportive! A good partner in life is priceless ❤
this is peak content, matt never misses. all the best to you!
This has been my favorite series of yours Matt
As a power lifter watching your videos since the beginning, this was beyond my favourite mini series !
This content is gold. I am really glad you touched on the aspect of social media psychologically affecting one's own perception of their progress ❤
A comment from Brazil : It is really hard to keep commited for a long period to me, please keep posting video like this! Tks
Matt, I'm legitimately happy to see you're still making content. Thank you so much.
What a lovely cross between worlds. Kudos, Matt and great job! May you enjoy the journey 🫡
Thanks for taking us along this journey, Matt. Truly an inspiration for us all 😁
Almost 3 years being a minimalist because of you! thank you so much, Matt!❤
Great work, dude. Consistency and intentional workouts is the key to unlocking progress.
Matt, your videos are simply the best. They boast good storytelling, excellent production quality, and I could name five more things you excel at. I thoroughly enjoy watching your content and have learned a great deal from you. Thank you for sharing your videos.
All time man! Loved every min of this 💛💪🏼
Salute to you, Matt! You’re an inspiration!
such a pleasure to come back watching your vids
Hola vieja, I'm so happy to write a comment to you after a long time, wanted to let you know that I'm at my best version right now, it all started with your Minimalism documentary. I followed your advice in order to shut down my self development's content consumption and start taking action 2 years ago, wanted to tell you:
1. Congratulations to you and Nat for your new baby.
2. You look amazing amigo.
3. Thank you for existing.
And as always, keep up the amazing work, may you and your family be blessed, and may more and more people get the same or even better benefits from your work, through self development and self commitment, so they can also declutter their lives and focus on what matters, as I did.
VAMOS PA' LANTE VIEJAAAAA 💪
Matt. I always look forward to your videos. As I get old, I realize my content consumption has changed. I’m glad you have stayed for the journey :)
Thanks for sharing Matt
Both of the powerlifting videos are really informative and inspiring
Such a top notch video. Thank YOU Matt.
This is so inspiring! I'm only 20, but it's really uplifting to know that I can look forward to the next 20 years as years of growth, not just mentally, but physically too!
I watched alot of you're videoes many years ago, but don't know why I didn't follow you then, but just found your channel again and I love your channel! This video also made me get back into the gym! Thanks alot for the awesome content Matt! Cheers from Norway
LOVE your videos! Content plus editing is just spot on!!!
can't wait for the next uploaaad! 😩 rewatching your videos atm ❤
Tha gym! It's a place we can always come back to at ANY age, and still make progress! It might not be the same at every age, but you'll ALWAYS make some progress, and get healthier to hopefully live longer too!
Mate! Such an inspiration. Hoping to bump into you somewhere in Sydney.
Being strong would help in lifting your present and future kid(s). Fun dad times and bonding!
Hello Biceps! Freaking so proud of you Matt! Content is Gold! I really enjoyed these videos a lot. It was exciting watching you compete and so glad your beautiful wife was there with you and you also stayed a present father and had a life. Keep going!!! You got this!
Man that social media bit is so important. Seeing the best of the best every day makes you think you suck
Setting a big goal (or just an event) is so true. With running, if I don't have a race planned I won't do anything serious about my running practice. But if it's there, I'm damn sure to put effort into doing the best I can for that event.
Love it when one of your fave TH-camrs becomes a fitness influencers
Agreed with having a good coach or trainer to work consistently with (consistency is key for both attending sessions AND practicing in between). I finally bit the bullet when I didn’t have a formal program and over tired my back muscle- my PT recommended a personal trainer and I was lucky to find the perfect person for the type of person I was (couch potato turned a walking potato). I wasn’t able to squat or deadlift a bar and was able to squat and deadlift 105 lbs in 2 months. Best money spent!
As someone who’s been following you for a long time and have been competing in powerlifting for a while now and hold record this brings so many new eyes to the sport i I love and I can’t thank you enough
Super motivation to get that proper strength programme going. Great video! Said to myself every year since 36yo that THIS year id be the best shape of my life. at 42, it happened thanks to a challenge called 75HARD. Just goes to show that whatever challenge motivates you to continue is a good idea 💪🏼💪🏼
I love this. I looked into a personal trainer and the cost was too high for my income. It was really agonizing to come to terms with the impossibility of having a trainer because I knew it would be life changing and life sustaining for aging. I had the desire,but just didn’t have the money. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. I love the idea of a personal trainer. It’s out of reach for so many of us. I’ve been watching Matt for years like many of you also.
Love the lesson about social media
Hell yeah part 2 is here🔥
Yeah Matt! With everything going on you are a bloody legend! Keep it up bud
Incredible 🔥 great video thx 💪🏼
Hell yeah, great job!
I love your video and not to forget your motto always keep going thanks for creating catch you in the next one
This guy can accomplish anything, and so do us. Keep up the amazing work 💪🏼
Love these tips! Very motivating 😊
The 🐐!
Thanks for the video Matt! I actually watched it while running at the gym.😂 For me the best is focused powerlifting, followed by more relaxed cardio session what Matt d’Avella’s videos. 😊
Hello Matt! I love your videos! Always give me new ideas and boost my mood 😊
Sebastian is the GOAT - awesome coach
Great content, thank you for your tips! And I agree you shall only compare yourself with yourself. Social media influencers might be intimidating and actually put your motivation to train down.
I would hope so!! LOL I started weight training at 30 and strongest at 54. Don't get caught up in chronological numbers Matt. Just keep at it consistently.
Lesson #3 is the most important lesson I agree
We always beat ourselves up for missing days when life gets in the way!
I been guilty of starting the program from day 1 when I went out one weekend and had a few extra drinks in me (as a punishment) I’d start program from day 1
I now realize how negative I was to myself and to my overall growth
Your last video inspired me to go from lifting 3x10 reps to 3x3, my body is actually growing the same or even better growth than before. I'm focused on gaining strength after seeing you double your benchpress in 100 days which I didn't know was even possible. Excited to watch this video now left my comment before even starting it lol!
You're not gonna grow much muscle with 3x3 but you will get much stronger. A proper program also isn't just a rep scheme.
@@Shvabicu Progressive loading, strength is what am training for now since bench has always been like 185ish and weigh 155. The weight is totally different to what was lifting before, focusing on compounds exercises and really just want strength these days
Stoked to see you getting after it even in dad mode!
Lifter Matt is a beast.
Great video brother.
*Solid Work* 🤜 lots of research to show you can get stronger well into your older age. All about consistency!
Hey Matt! I just gotta say, I can definitely see the old you coming back in these videos. Doing a lot of the things yourself is making the videos more personal, and less, corporate, if that is the right word. No hate, I just really, really love your work :)
I don't drop many likes on videos but you got a like. Congratulations on your achievement. Very inspiring. Great content.
Ive been aiming for the 1000lb club goal for the last year. Your latest vids have really helped keep me motivated. I think i may even get a coach to get me over the finish line.
Dude i just got done watching your powerlifting meet before this, and i have to say I'm HIGHLY impressed. I was lifting for about 1 and a half years starting at just 128lbs, eventually getting up to 180lbs. i still could only max my bench out at 235lbs. For you training for only 100 days that is such a jump.
I'm 53 and I'm strongest I've ever been! Regular workout and especially low carb diet rock! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Next challenge suggestion - you should see how quick you could get to a blue belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu!
actually this is a great idea
Didn't expect Matt to become my favourite fitness TH-camr but it's happening
*Be (Imperfectly) Consistent is my favorite one!* 💜
In the long run, it's better to improve 1% (almost) every day, than improve 3-5% every once in a while. 💪
Consistency doesn't need to be perfect for the power of compounding to shine! 📈
always very inspiring videos thanks, Matt!
Another great video! Imma hit the gym now
Powerlifting is so fun because of the people you lift around! The competitions were so fucking scary at first but man, the people there are genuinely cheering for everyone to do their best.
Much love
Never in the single history of a youtube video have i skipped through a video to go to the ad segment, until today.. Great integration, great add
Great vid, would love to see you do one on mobility!
can confirm. took me 1 year to add 5lbs to my bench press haha. so cool to see your progress with strength!
It's cool you referenced Mike and Jeff nippard love it. Yep 1-2 in the tank is fine tbh
HEVY > Strong App
Hadn't watched the video on 100 days but just watched it and this one. Really good work Matt. Your son will be proud of you
I'm just a hobby sportmen. I did some comps. Nowadays less, because of lack of time (family, work).
However I definitely felt less skipped training, more determined and strict with my training, when I was preparing to a comp. Regardless the result of the comp. you'll push yourself more, and that's already a win!
this is truly incredible and inspiring ..hope when i finally grow up, get my house, get married, have a kid or two, and then get in incredible shape
Start now.
With all of the above it’s about keeping the ball rolling
Dad strength is real and he is the perfect example
As a baby powerlifter hahaha, Matt spread the word of powerlifting makes me very happy
I started working out this year, and IG was feeding me a lot of gym content. I had to start telling it NO once it started showing people getting hurt.
Go Matt!
I guess I misunderstood the process of progressive overload all along. Thanks for putting it simply. Also getting a professional to help is definitely something I'll be considering in the main areas that I want to improve. So many other things I could comment on, but great vid
Dad strength 🙌
Matt can no longer be a minimalist due to his maximalist gainz 💪
Dang, that’s really impressive
This hit the bullseye of the ven diagram of my interests 🎯. Thanks for sharing Matt. Meat heads unite 💪
Strong is free, at least a "lighter version" on android. You can't create more than 3 custom routunes and some other stuff but you still have the auto rest timer and previous workout stats. Great app, even with the free version!
