Ryan, you are way ahead of your time and using your TH-cam finance for things NOONE else is even thinking about doing or want to spend the money on. Keep it up please!!
1:58 here’s the best piece of advice I’ve ever received about working out and it came from a dude who was freaking massive. 90% of people in the gym will never stand on a stage and compete as a bodybuilder in reality everyone in the gym is trying to do one of two things, live longer or look better naked. You don’t need to have the optimal workout for every single muscle group to achieve either of these goals, unique consistency, more than anything.
Hell yeah within 10 mins of posting. What you got today Ryan. I was only doing seated calf raise for months & pulled it really bad in January Ive gone back to seated & standing. Healed up & No issues. 💪.
Every fitness page on TH-cam: elbows at 45° on presses Ryan: flare them suckers out I’ve always flared them out and have always had an overwhelming chest compared to the rest of my body. Glad someone who has done more research on this is saying what I’ve been doing.
Bro won my heart when he said, "You need to train your anterior delts if you train your chest correctly". My chest is one of my most well developed muscles and I definitely am lagging in the front deltoid department. For a 3D look it's not just enough to have middle and rear deltoids. You need all three. I wish I isolated front deltoid training more in my early days.
best front delt exercise, sit on 45 degree bench, grab two dumbbells in hammer position, and lift the bottom of the dumbbell just above the height of your head, with them just touching, and then control the down.... you'll be amazed at how light you need to go
Perfect combination of old school bodybuilding "feel it out" wisdom and science based progression on ideas - you are the man. The pace increase cancelled out by the rep count, think it was Milo or Menno recently discussing that exact thing, you are basically right, there are some nuances but your basically right.
Big chest is what we all need! Thanks for this crazy motivation! After watching your videos I started working on my body and even trying to film my home workouts to become a fitness influencer too hope to see some good results soon! keep it up man
Thank you man. I had a great lack of muscle in my back and I tried any program you think but it didn't work so well . Its been 2 months since I try your back workout routine and the result is just amazing . Beside building back I can feel more of my back muscles now .
I just recently came across your channel and I love it! I’ve been training close to 40 years and I’m a personal trainer blah blah blah. I learn something from every video.
I have several of your programs. really like them. but I love your channel. You are so informative And you're sense of humor is fantastic. Keep up the good work, Love it.
Great video, love the tips. I try most of the exercises, being over 60 yrs old I need to be careful. I suck most of the time but I hit it 5 to 6 times a week. Cheers
DUDE!!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BRO, I SWEAR WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS REMINDS ME OF SITTING BACK IN THE BARRACKS WITH MY MILITARY BROTHERS, KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND STAY SHARP BROTHER 💪👍
i love the shoulder fixing band thing i could barely get my right arm behind my back now i can do the full 180 test on the floor in the same day, you da best and da man
Hey Ryan, I built a bench that actually frees up your scapula, so your chest day isn’t wrecking your shoulders. It eliminates that anterior scapular tilt that you were struggling with due to it’s design that let your shoulders move the way they’re supposed to...therefore...more chest activation, bigger ROM, zero shoulder strain. Tested it with some serious lifters, and they’re loving the deeper range and pain-free presses. Quick background: I’m a DPT, studied at UMN under some of the OGs in shoulder biomechanics, and this idea hit me after stepping away from practice. Now, I’d love to send one your way-no strings attached, just to get your take on it. If it works as well as I think it will, maybe we can get it out to more lifters. Thanks for considering!
YESSSSSS, finally somebody training chest without the 45 dgr shoulder bullshit! this is why I love you man!

Always enjoy your videos! ❤ Just a tip: The gastrocnemius relaxes when sitting, leaving the soleus to do most of the work. Since the gastrocnemius is key for calf size, standing exercises are better for building bigger calves. Noted your feeling has been different, but biomechanics science seems to completely refute that it’s even possible to train the gastrocnemius while sitting. Maybe you can test and compare the muscle activity with your sensors?
I have finished your 12 week program and am back to full gym 2.0. Absolutely have loved all of them. PPL, Garage all of them. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for everything, sir. In the famous words of Major Payne, “I’m still a shit sandwich, just not a soggy one.”
Hey Ryan. That amount of commitment to the research you put in is incredible. Just to make everything you do work the most efficiently. And the best part of it is you share it with everyone. And it’s kind of you, but thanks, we don’t need any farts in the bag 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing all the knowledge, it helped me massively to actually looking like I’m working out instead of pretending I do. 😎
First time that your anecdotal experience on effective training completely aligns with mine. Usually I’m pissed but this video was spot on 😂 thank you!
I am an analytical chemist who studies tryptophan metabolism as it relates to congenital heart disease (so not related to musculature) and doing LCMS at home blows my mind. If you haven't already, look into validation studies for each amino acid. You may be able to multiplex it into one assay. Very impressed in this endeavor!
@grunge-mb9sb he mentioned that you have to flare your elbows in order to put more tension on the chest muscle. And he explained the physics behind it. I'm sorry I can't provide you with the video, it was long ago.
@@YeshuaDavidsonbut it’s terrible advice for the average lifter. Flaring the elbows is a key reason why people mess up their shoulders doing press motions with a bar.
@@YeshuaDavidson Its all good, I have found that flaring my elbows does indeed put more tension on my pecs and doing the opposite I feel way more delt activation, thank you for the response.
I flaired elbows for decades but would periodically have shoulder issues so I switched to 45 degrees. Stopped shoulder issues but also reduced upper chest. Almost 70 now so I'll probably keep them tucked and keep doing exta upper chest work, less risky. Keep in mind that world class body builders have large, strong tendons and might get away with more than the average guy. Listen to your body
This is very interesting, because I’ve been supersetting for over 2-3 months like this. I do have some comments on some of the exercises shown: 1. Your adding isometrics into your workout is plenty right, but the time spent in the elongated position should be over 4 seconds to become significant, 5 seconds for advanced athletes. 2. Supersetting after an isometrics exercise is a good way to continue hypertrophy while creating enorrrrmous strength. Some good ways to superset are plyometrics and twitching right after isometrics and so that you don’t waste mentality while waiting for your next set over 2-3 minute rests. 3. Ab integration and locking is a real great way to target the chest, however doing it only in an inclined bench is basic to keep the inclination. Something a little bit more advanced is to lock the abs while doing horizontal bench, but this is plenty difficult for people starting in isometrics, as locking those abs confuses the breathing. Something that can help you imagine that locking while breathing properly is locking your back as you showed, but also locking your abs (while imagining you’ll sneeze) before getting the bar out of the rack. It’s a bit difficult, but in your level I don’t think you will have any issue getting used to it. 4. While stretching the muscle is the most correct when doing these trainings, time under tension is tops in terms of focus. The general recommendation is to focus the tension in a 90° angle on the way down so it continues targeting the chest instead of resting when going lower of those 90°. I mention all this with all due respect, I hope my information helps you to progress in research and I share it with you as you’ve shared so much to me in other muscle sections. I’m up for any kind of question or info about it, I’ve been exploring isometrics, plyometrics and twitching, and their combinations for over a year and a half with amazing results in my body, I would be honoured to share it with you in case you want to. I happen to be a just-starting coach in Mexico, my profile in YT is personal use, but I will be honoured to share the IG page in case you require it :)
Now we know why you tore your soleus! 😬 But everything else so clutch. Amazing tip on elbow positioning with incline bench!! This took all the strain of my shoulders. Unbelievable. F-in’ unbelievable.
Great video. I would like to know what exercises to hit if I want better posture? (think like you are standing when you are proud). A video on that would be great. Or is there already one?
Calves-This and the crazy amount of lunges on leg days are the only things I sidestep in Ryan's science based program. My calves are the only muscles I don't have to spend time on more than once per week. 😂
Thanks for another good video sir! Something you may like that I tried today is sissy squats but wait there’s more… go as low as you can before touching the floor and start 2/4 or 3/4 repping. Omg pain omg it hurts so good!
I apologize for being nitpicky but Soleus is mostly active during seated calf raises-gastroc not so much, standing calf raises will actually stretch gastroc more and make both muscles work together. I usually do 3 pre-exhaust sets of seated calf raises (2 straight and one drop set) followed with 2 standing calf raises (2 straight sets and one long drop set of 5 lowering of weights).
Ever try to go all body weight? Push ups dips etc? It works better than routine lifting with weights. The smith machine is great. Keeps form and is safe. You can build great calves by sprinting. I max out when I dabble with calf raises.
One tip to count real seconds : count each second 2 times, like : one-one two-two three-three four-four etc if you say them at normal pace, each second is accurate. i don’t know if this is clear sorry
Tried the 20-30 second pauses yesterday with my dumbbell incline bench presses. I got a full 20 seconds first set, 15 2nd and 12 3rd. My chest is fucked today. Definitely going to make this a normal practice. I’ve done 5 second pauses before, but this was much better.
OK as for calves the best stimulus is to be in a bent over hack squat position lengthening all the connective tissue from the glutes to the heels of the feet than rep out from the stretch portion to sixty percent of the contraction portion of the movement. Have a look at rugby players calves especially the players who are bent over in a scrum attempting to drive the opposition backwards. Hope this helps👍
So I’m not the only one with this calf ritual, been doing this for quite a while. Fully agree with smith machine work, besides, it’s safer when your rotator cuff is 40 %torn. Cheers
I’m kinda new here I love this guy for his comedy Haven’t seen him on any podcasts However He knows the fuck what he’s talking about. But, has he mentioned at any point where he got all his money to provide us all this beautiful funny delicious content?
Ryan, your content is amazing. Can you explain something about diet. When it comes to raw vs cooked meat what should I use to calculate my macros? As a lot of food companies use water weight to increase the weight. It's something I need clarification on, or if someone can assist please 🙏🏽 Thank you
Finally somone who agrees with the need to train anterior delts if you train your chest correctly. I have always done chest correctly and my delts suck!
Training the chest alongside the back is correct, but it should be considered part of learning what works best to build balance. Therefore, more control during time under tension and deeper stretch.
I do the same regarding Calves as mine are piss poor, even a 5 to 10 minute step warm up to get the calves raise at a steady pump, rotary is my next warm up prior hitting the upper body, top man
I love the programs! I spent 60-90min a day on my "bro split" trying to chase that burn. I shoot for 20 sets to failure on each muscle group. I feel like anything less I just don't feel it😢 I want to double down and hit 2 muscle groups a day but an hour for each one is a b****! (I also do Cardio and martial arts on top of that) A 30 minute would be amazing! 🤩
Is it the standard to no longer focus on feeling a strong contraction at the end of each concentric? I remember when "squeeze the chest" used to be a common cue to give for presses
Another great video! I know you probably can't respond to every comment but would love to hear any advice you might have for someone with lower back issues, mainly disc bulge?
Did hold it in the stretched position for back and chest lately like you said and it was very effective, I even made my shoulders sore without training them. With cable rows and lat pulldown it's of course easier to hold the stretch than on a bench doinf chest
Hey, you may not see this, but you did a video on protein and what's best, but there wasn't an insect protein. As it's something I've just got into myself, I was wondering what your thoughts are as there seems to be a lot of goodness in it.
Super interestin! some of these exercise choices I know I would find really hard on my shoulders. What do you do for shoulder health? The deep stretch on the dips would get me bad as would the elbow flair.
9:30 - Prime USA Plate Loaded Incline Press allows you to overload the stretched position and combine that with raising your elbows in the stretched position = death. Hammer Strength does not.
Im just here for the sounds you make
hip....heeeeeee.......hip........heeeee
Huh… pffffff. Huh… pffffff.
That would get him the lunk alert at Planet fitness.
What do u do with the sounds????? 😭

Getting a full stretch and controlling the eccentric motion in a slow and steady pace is key for all muscle growth!

You get almost all the vowels out while grunting. Sylvan did something for you.

Watching you do the smith machine incline. I wonder what you think about the vince gironda Gallatin bench press
Mobility Warmup NEXT PLEASE!!
Great Advice, BUT the best part of the video, seeing the rescue dog. He needs a name, and a permanent home on every video from here on out. LoL 🐾
9:30 - Prime USA Plate Loaded Incline Press allows you to overload the stretched position and combine that with raising your elbows in the stretched position = death. Hammer Strength does not.
Anyone else love the noises Ryan makes when pressing? 🤣

Ryan would you be willing to try workouts in lengthened muscles only? Partial ( half reps ) reps only?
