Some interesting ideas discussed here, but Thomas please get better thumbnails! "Stop squatting for reps" WTF? There was no talk of squats, or rep ranges or anything like that!
When both of these men talk, i listen. Chris is one of the strongest men ever to walk this planet and s wealth of knowledge. I have been watching and listening to him for years as a powerlifter. But, as a carnivore, i find that i can still train for high reps as well as i always could eating carbs. Maybe because I'm fully fat adapted? Plus, my top end strength keeps going up too. So the carbs are necessary is a hard sell for me. But I'm still watching and listening...
For real, Chris really helped me 👍 He's such a great resource. I'm on carnivore now and am loving it. I'm not a powerlifter like Chris, I have different goals than him, but definitely concerned with resistance training. Think I'll bug him about carnivore 🥩
agreed, I have more strength will less effort working out, run faster, etc been full carnivore for over year. didn't understand what he was saying about "being flat, on carnivore" clearly that is someone that tried it as a diet, and didn't understand it will take the liver 30-90 days to adapt to fat for the creation of carbs. every surgeon that does gall bladder removal tell their patients the same, the live takes time to adapt. when I was in month 7, on carnivore, that is when I was documenting my workouts for that time and noticed huge gains, in strength and duration. my guess is, someone doing carnivore for only 3 months is not really fully adjusting to producing ketones permanently. I even have cheat days about 2 times a month (an ice cream or frozen yogurt) and I can tell two days later I have less energy and strength in my workouts. I can do more now, than I could when I was 18-42 while in the military, now 53M
Here’s some interesting insights. When doing any leg workout, just do max 2 reps at max weight. End of workout. Rugby players in England who have huge legs have completely changed their workout, head of medical at a professional club told me.
@@GustavoSantos-gz7ujbro, 2 Max reps, wait till you recover, then 2 Max reps. If you want to do more often then do things for faster recovery. If you don't need recovery then it's not your 2 reps max. The 2 reps max they are talking about need 4 spotters 😂
I had to stop watching at 7:47 I have been on carnivore for over a year now, I am stronger, workout harder , lift more, and almost no joint pain. It is completely the opposite of what he is stating. Also everyone that knew me before also states I look much younger and I have more energy and no brain fog, 53M - I wish I knew about carnivore the entire time I was in the military =. other bonus, I don't get super sore after even the most extreme workouts
But carnivore turned you into such a snowflake... so much so that you had to turn the video off because he disagrees with your diet. Everybody knows carbs are the source of great pumps...
I can say the exact same thing you said almost verbatim... except replace carnivore with 100% plant based. I just put on about 10lbs of lean mass this year 😇
Being natural at almost 66 i can say for me to much soreness is not good..i like to feel slight pain and fullness in my quads next day...nutrition plays an important roll..as i aged over last 55 years of training i realize my ability to repair damage is at about 60% as it was at age 16...but knowing this makes it much easier to find my sweet spot in weekly training to make great progress...
Great episode need one specifically on pumps/vascularity supplements going more in depth glycerol(best), TMG, citruline malate, NO makers like beets/arugula, not just get under 10% fat to see all the veins lol. I’m sure there’s a TDL episode on that jsut can’t find it with search
Have heard conflicting opinions about the "pump" but this explanation from Chris is the one that I relate to the most in the gym. When my chest or biceps are pumped they feel springy and more powerful.
Despite the clickbait thumb & title, the concepts on creating a natural lifting suit effect through the pump was a real opener and something I'll be using to increase safety and gains!
Hit 200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k last year 2023, God bless America ❤️🇺🇲
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Kate Elizabeth Becherer) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her Brisbane Australia🇭🇲
constrictive training is great for lifting low weights but having the same effects as lifting heavy, without the strained ligaments.. and theres a ton (lol) of research supporting it.
a few years ago i would workout for like 20 minutes a day literally the same few muscles... n i noticed my biceps would actually grow ( even on 20 minutes a day( probably 5 minutes of which were biceps))
DOMs are simple. You have to go further than your body is use too. Therefore it’s an indicator of progressive overload being achieved. I don’t agree that it’s not an indicator bc it absolutely is. That doesn’t mean it has to be severe. A little soreness is good and often goes away before you retrain same muscle groups. Minimize fatigue to where you can hit core muscle groups twice a week at least for maximum growth.
With products like beat power and creatine,etc..i usually cut back,stop a few days or a week but dont have a certain plan...sometimes i up daily intakes for a week or so...i believe its good to mix things up with diet and training regularly to make gains..
I started back to lifting yesterday. Mostly bis, tris, and lateral delts. Only thing that’s actually sore today are my tris. Despite several sets taken to failure. Kind of weird just the one. I expect soreness coming back after a long lay off.
I watched anticipating Duffin would get to the meat and potatoes about not squatting for reps. But he didn’t. Perhaps it got lost in translation. I don’t know.
there's title click bait and now we have intro CLIP bait. not one word about squatting which is why bothered to watch the video. ah well another tactic to wade through in the mud bog of youtube 😂
Your content is always so good but I don't think I heard a single thing about squatting for reps. You have a good channel.There is no need to use click baby titles.That is a real disappointment.You're better than that.
@@jeremyspencer5301 Dunno. Just saw that there was a study with like 100,000 people and apparently the heating of bread and other starches can cause heart issues. Or, so they say.
Squatting for reps is awful and no one who doesn’t want to go through that needs to. Squatting for 1-3 reps is king just like Olympic Weightlifting. End of discussion.
he's dismissing ice baths as maybe helpful? I don't need science to know i'm so much stronger and hyped afterwards, and dopamine levels remain elevated similar to cocaine for hours without the harmful effects. stress, depression, anger all gone with ice baths. I've done keto for months and had explosive energy and muscle growth. I've recently gone to eating a small balanced meal with carbs before lifting and able to lift heavier so both avenues can work. Thanks for sharing about how saunas help raise growth hormone levels I do them after every lift. Ice bath before every one
@@flow1188 that's why I do them before I lift and NEVER after, saunas after, it's the perfect combo. You are correct to never do them after because of what you said which is true
@@flow1188 That doesn't mean you can't do them once a week on rest days or even once a month. If people are saying they recover faster and feel amazing. It means it works
@@flow1188 It doesn't completely eliminate hypertrophy. It's a pretty minor issue tbh, but people love to obsess over every single detail. It helps with recovery, so that's most important to me.
It’s a bummer that you’ll throw away good information because of a strange inability to just skip an ad. Do your thumbs not work? Lose them fighting with the grocery clerk because the milk you bought had a billboard two blocks from the store?

What about Dr. Williams Long fermented yogurt? It appears based on thousands of people that it helps build muscle faster than anything else and also corrects many other issues including belly fat issues.
Couple of decades ago, I pulled a forearm muscle while working out, probably when I was doing barbell rows for 8 or so reps at 225 and higher. Probably out of position when doing the rows. The next workout I wrapped the forearm with stretch self adhering wrap and the sharp, power weakening pain disappeared so I was able to continue doing rows and deadlfts etc etc.
You lost me at low carb diets reduce performance. Tell that to Dr Sean Baker Who currently holds 3 World Records in rowing who has been on Carnivore for years. The truth is we just haven't studied it well enough. As Thomas says most studies look at people who are in ketosis for 90 days max. You don't really get to see how the body performs once you are fully adapted and efficient. Carbohydrates are not required for excellent performance.
To intelegent to be wearing a hat like this Thomas! 😂 Like Alex Hormozie and his goddamn nose strips! Bro do u not think humans noses are evolved enough to breath oxygen?! 😂😂
Who cares. We have the same thing in common; we all will die. The biggest question at stake is if our spirits will go to heaven after our body dies. Only having faith in the finished work of Jesus will we go to heaven and experience everlasting life. Repent and follow the King of kings and Lord of lords. Learn of Him.
So to explain the concept for anyone unfamiliar, nucleus overload training was a term coined by Team3dAlpha and proposed as a method of training meant to supplement regular training. The idea is that the number of satellite cells in a muscle can be increased with higher training frequency and volume, therefore leading to larger overall growth potential. The basic nucleus overload program is to select one muscle group you struggle to grow, and every day to do a safe, high rep, low fatigue exercise for several sets with the focus of getting a good pump. This is in addition to regular training, not a replacement. After at least a month you should take a week off from training the muscle entirely and then resume regular training with hopefully accelerated gains. The concept was created from observations of people who did a lot of muscle specific training before bodybuilding growing much faster when they started bodybuilding. Guys who wrestled before lifting weights having really fast growing traps, bikers growing giant quads really fast, guys who just did a bunch of pushups at home getting crazy chest gains once they started hitting the gym. I think all this is entirely true, and it does seem related to intramuscular cell saturation. Whether someone can actually increase cell saturation meaningfully on the type of nucleus overload training program prescribed by Team3dAlpha idk, but for someone with a really stubborn muscle group it's probably a pretty good thing to try.
It’s kinda funny that working out is basically a simulation of what we should be doing throughout the day. Walking everywhere and moving heavy things
don't worry, Ai will let us do that again for real. :D
One of the few things they’ll allow us to do besides bagging our own groceries
