Damn, dude. You've got a really impressive physique, especially for someone who is pre T! I can't even do a single push up, but I'm working my way towards them by doing inclined pushups.
Hope you're bale to do a push-up now^^ I couldn't do a single one on my knees before the summer, but after 4 months of practise, I could do 10 on my toes^^
Damnnnn my voice is a bit high here😂 I can't even explain how many messages and comments I get from people telling me this is "too hard". Let me just be real with you. DROP THE REPS. Rome wasn't built in a day. If you can only do 1 rep, that's better than 0. After a month if you can then do 2 reps, you've improved. Hard work and patience is what's going to get you there, you know what isn't? GOD DAMN WHINING. ALSOOOOOOO I AM NOW OFFERING ONLINE COACHING. Head to www.sambarneslifestyle.co.uk and check out my range of training plans!💪🏻
i used to be very active as a young child but i became a nerd LOL and after i started working out i almost gained it all back in a few weeks, thanks! it also helped with anxiety and my Aspergers as well!
This video is 2+ years old but I’m an enby here in 2020 saying THANK YOU for this video. With COVID and dysphoria, going to the gym isn’t an option right now so I just want to say thanks for sharing your expertise with us trans* folx. 💜
This is so so helpful thank you! It's really hard for me to workout normally because I tend to lose weight too quickly (I'm already underweight) because I have weird genes but this hasn't been a problem at all! I've never been able to get a clapping push up before either and I finally have it now!
I’m so glad that I clicked on this vid it was so helpful 😭 Thank you so much for making this! I’m not able to take T yet sadly, but this will help me through the time until then. Thanks!!
Thank you for posting this video! I’ve been looking for some at home workouts since I don’t have the money to go to the gym at this moment. I’m excited to try this out!
I was afab but non-binary and transmasculine, and honestly when people say “girls physically can’t get bulky” really hurts me, because I want to build a lot of muscle, but I’m not able to take T yet. Anyone else relate?
Hoping you see this. Not trans, but people who say women can't get bulky are lying. Female and got up to a 3 rep max 165 LBS bench press, 225 conventional deadline and 275 LBS trap bar deadlift. Was curling 5×5 40 LBS dumbells till I switched to calisthenics so now I'm working back in to it all. RN at like a 5×12 110 LBS bench and a 3×10-12 190 LBS deadlift. RN at 40 military pushups without stopping. GYMNASTIC RINGS FOR CHEST, BACK, TRAPS, SHOUIDERS, BICEPS. Caps because it helps so much. Heavy core emphasis as well so minimizes hips. Build your back too, pull-ups. Currently at 12-14 full range reps depending on the day. I have been mistaken for male a few times since cutting my hair very very short but that was also in the DEEP south. Bit cities might be a bit different in how some ppl initially perceive you but whatever.
@@puddinpants5790 as a transman i have got a question ive been going to the gym for a month but ive been kinda reluctant to do much leg and glute workouts like the squat and leg press, do you think it would make my legs look massive but in a female type of way if you get what i mean i dont want that at all so i try to keep leg day at a minimum out of fear of that happening.
@@doml7750 I have never taken testosterone and if you are pre t I would say that yes it will make your legs larger and unfortunately in a feminine manner- continue to read for my addendum- BUT, and this is a VERY large "but", you do _not_ want muscle imbalances. Ever, in a million years. You don't have to do those stupid Big Booty(TM) workouts but seriously squatting and deadlifts are not going to do you harm. I'd say it would be worse for you if you did not. I am not sure if I am a genetic anomaly. I have always had good upper body strength for a female. My squats are kinda pitiful compared to my bench press and pushups till failure. Deadlifts are pretty decent but my back is very strong, mostly because of my line of work I did and also the amount of pull-ups I worked up to. What I'm trying to get at is if you were to intentionally focus on your upper body while ALSO not neglecting your lower body you will be okay. This is what I do and I exponentially prefer a masculine form over a feminine form, although I don't believe I am trans. If you keep your body fat % low (not too low!!!) a female form will not be as noticeable. Your wardrobe choice will also make a huge difference. I very very much fill out a men's small. Sometimes they appear to be muscle shirts depending on the brand. Moving to a men's medium/smedium is my next goal. I'm 5'6 150 LBS. Those women with massive legs and butts usually hyper focus on those areas for male sexual attention. If you did the same thing with your upper body the results would be the same for that area. Don't be that dude with chicken legs, lol. If you are starting out ibwoukd recommend a push/pull/leg routine. You can keep that going that's what I do now, I like it. When I was building a ton of mass I did Arms/Chest/Back/Shoulders/Legs with my legs alternating between between squats (my "push" day for legs) and deadlifts (my "pull" day for legs) and using accessory exercises that accompany push and pull movements for that cycle that week for leg day. Like the leg press machine (you can use that instead of squats if squats bother you, or do front squats some people dont like back squats to each his own), glute press, calf raises, and pull bring like hamstring curls and leg extensions. That way you are devoting like an hour or more to each portion of your body. However you also have more days of rest in between. Creatine helps pretty decently with building muscle and the mono form can add water weight so you can look a bit bigger. Some find that uncomfortable, though. I did my workout in that order specifically because it alternates portions of your body. My arms can het a break when I do Chest day and then I alternate to back so both Chest and arms get a chance to recover. Followed by Shoulders because those are almost always push movements and I had just done a "pull" day previously, my back. Legs last, also helps with recovery because legs usually hurt the most since it's such a large muscle group, I've literally waddled for like four days before. I hope that made any sort of sense at all, lol. Since that is a cycle of five days of lifting you can add a cardio day and then a rest day, or two full rest days so that each exercise is always on the same day (adds up to 7 days vs 5) so you don't lose track or get confused. I keep editing this- The more body fat you have the more feminine you will appear. When I was at my peak of bulking I was at 185 LBS. I did an off season term as a wildland firefighter and literally lost 23 lbs the first month. I lost 40 after a grand total of three months, I had intentionally put on a good amount of fat because I knew in would lose a shit ton of weight as that is almost exclusively an endurance job. I looked much less feminine when wearing men's clothes but if I wore women's clothing (also had super long hair) I was obviously NOT a man but I also acted much more feminine. I'm at the same weight I was at that point two years ago after the huge weight loss, but I look much less feminine because of my hair, clothing choices, and how I carry myself. When I was 185 LBS I was very obviously female. 145 LBS after the weight loss and I was still obviously a girl because I chose to dress the part. A lot of it is how you present and carry yourself in addition to the physical work you do to build yourself up.
@@puddinpants5790 yeah i do dedicate a day for legs but it was just a worry i had but maybe im an exception since i have a very masculine build, wide shoulders and smaller hips for a pre T guy. im a medium to large in mens clothes thats why i always gotta try things on. i think im pretty even on upper and lower body strength since my lifts are all pretty much around the same weight. i try to do all compound lifts for power and mass. but honestly being a firefighter is cool as hell much respect and thank you for the advice! i truly appreciate it
Oh my gosh yeah. I am closeted but ftm and I really want to bulk up(I am 13). I've tried so much but as curves set on more it gets so much harder. Luckily I still have a more masculine build, but I'm looking for a good routine. Everyone tells me I can't get a six pack it sucks
Helped me a lot and you're very funny :) I'm going to start doing exercises everyday when I come out to my mim in my birthday so I'm a bit lost on where and how to start this, thanks for the video and keep making videos like that one.
this is really helpful for me cuz I'm pre t and honestly just by looking at you I probably wouldn't be able to tell you're pre t in this vid lmao. I wanna build up muscle to pass but I'm also gonna pair this with my regular workouts bc I like just having my whole body being fit, but I'll admit I used to focus on my legs n didn't pay attention to my chest until I realized I was trans lmao I'm gonna try doing these myself then asking my brother to workout with me (while he does his own thing) so I can get used to working out in front of someone else :D tysm for this video!! hopefully by the time I start HRT I can already have some muscle built up lol

Hi from 2024! I'm nonbinary and became chronically ill about a year ago, and have been trying to rebuild my strength and muscle definition after a year of next to no activity. Thank you for this!
I am so grateful for this because I need something to make me more masculine and can't get a gym membership and i'm in njrotc so I need to be more fit anyways.
tysm for this!! where I live we don’t have gym or a gym-like area, and if there was I would be a bit scared to go ;-;. I’ve been trying to work out more to get my ideal body type. again, ty!!!!!!
totally appreciate your hard work and consistency btw without going for gym I want to buy equipment at home, but I do not understand what to buy, please tell me which equipment is most important to increase body mass and increase size of muscles? im 21 & currently my weight is 79kg i wanna achieve 90 kgs
You want things that are going to offer you as much versatility as possible, so if you can't get a decent set of adjustable dumbbells, resistance bands with handles are probably your next best bet.
Thank you! Unfortunately you can't spot burn fat but if you have a high body fat % then by losing weight your chest may get slightly smaller. If you head to www.sambarneslifestyle.co.uk and sign up to my mailing list at the bottom of the home page, you'll get a free chest workout emailed to you that will help you build your chest up 😊
@@coach_sambarnes Thanks for the quick reply! I'm already, well, at a low weight for my height. I'm afraid that if I lower the quantity of fat I will not be able to gain muscles. Should I just train the pecs every day and weeks and try a morning run routine or something? I'm desperate, my chest is the thing that bother me the most... Also, I'll check your website for more infos!
@@demolitionparade4560 If your body fat is already pretty low then yeah, I would look at bulking. Train your chest 1-2 x a week alongside the rest of your body and make sure you're eating plenty, particularly protein. It's something that you'll see the benefit of if you have top surgery as you'll have some good pec muscle for them to mould around.
@@coach_sambarnes Okay, thanks for all those helpful informations! I've checked your website and I'm thinking about saving some money for your programs. No need to say that it's a very professional and clean site that you've got. It's amazing
If I do this will it get easier? Bc I'm fat and I could barely do this workout plan, I really want to lose weight and gain muscle but I'm not strong enough to lift my own body weight
It will definitely get easier with practice but there are some things you can do to start with to change it. If you're looking to burn fat you'll be better off with more of a circuit using cardio and weights (either body/machine/free weights). Practice body weight exercises on the side of this. Everyone starts somewhere and being able to do one is better than nothing! :)
Start with a high incline, and gradually lower this until you're on the floor. If you have access to a gym, training push exercises in general will also transfer over nicely to the push up. So something like a seated machine chest press.
It's a difficult one really because when you lose body fat, it drops off of your entire body. It's not possible to target certain areas of body fat. It's also more difficult as well if you aren't on Testosterone, as your body fat distribution will unfortunately be more like a female body. The best thing you can do is work out your entire body and if you feel your body fat is high, consider trying to lose some. When working out your legs, if you are pre T, try to avoid directly hitting the glutes, hit the quads and calves normally and mildly train the hamstrings.
The rebuilding of the muscles that you brake down during your workout doesn't happen during the workout, but the following 24-48 hours. If you train the same muscles everyday you aren't allowing them the time to grow and therefore you are overtraining them. By training them less, you're technically helping them to grow more. Of course you can still run, you can do whatever you want alongside it! :)
@@bread7101 Depends, were you seeing progress at one point, but now it's slowed down? That's more likely because you've stalled due to either not progressing your training and/ or your nutrition.
You need to get yourself in a calorie deficit. It's impossible to spot burn fat but if you drop your overall body fat percentage then the leg fat will come off. You'll need to work out your calories - th-cam.com/video/OizxYsNMlYE/w-d-xo.html and begin tracking your foods to make it easier😊
Working out six days a week is fine but I wouldn't recommend doing this same workout for the six days as once you've worked out a muscle group, the growing phase happens over the next 24-48 hours whilst it rests. So by training it everyday you're technically overtraining it and stopping it from growing. If you wanted to just do this workout, I would recommend doing it around 3x a week, or if you're looking for more, try my workout plan from this - th-cam.com/video/Cpj54TxdHyI/w-d-xo.html 👊🏻
Sam Barnes alright, thanks!! it was hard but i really want to get back into working out and this is great. I'll stick to it 3x a week for maybe a few weeks until i add more. i want to get used to it and stuff. thanks again though!!

Unfortunately you can't spot burn fat, but if you put yourself into a calorie deficit, you'll begin to drop body fat.
thanks sam!!
I haven't finished the video yet,but is there anything to help with big hips and thighs?
It's a difficult one really because when you lose body fat, it drops off of your entire body. It's not possible to target certain areas of body fat. It's also more difficult as well if you aren't on Testosterone, as your body fat distribution will unfortunately be more like a female body. The best thing you can do is work out your entire body and if you feel your body fat is high, consider trying to lose some. When working out your legs, if you are pre T, try to avoid directly hitting the glutes, hit the quads and calves normally and mildly train the hamstrings.
why would you recommended not ding it everyday? can I still do my regular running routine as well?
The rebuilding of the muscles that you brake down during your workout doesn't happen during the workout, but the following 24-48 hours. If you train the same muscles everyday you aren't allowing them the time to grow and therefore you are overtraining them. By training them less, you're technically helping them to grow more. Of course you can still run, you can do whatever you want alongside it! :)
Sam Barnes how long should this workout take? Like, in minutes.
@@DryIceSoda It kinda depends on how many reps you do and how long the breaks you take are
@@coach_sambarnes oh wait is that why I haven't been seeing progress lately-
@@bread7101 Depends, were you seeing progress at one point, but now it's slowed down? That's more likely because you've stalled due to either not progressing your training and/ or your nutrition.
Im nb but I’m still gonna do this because i want to shrink my fat ass
I’m trying to burn leg fat but I have no clue how to do that...
You need to get yourself in a calorie deficit. It's impossible to spot burn fat but if you drop your overall body fat percentage then the leg fat will come off. You'll need to work out your calories - th-cam.com/video/OizxYsNMlYE/w-d-xo.html and begin tracking your foods to make it easier😊
Do we take breaks in between sets?
i cant do pushups because of a wrist complication :(( are there alternatives to pushups
You could do a plank on your elbows might not be as effective but might save your wrists
I'm a year late but is bending the wrist the problem? You could try to do them on your knuckles if that's the case
Wow! You were pre-t! But how did the eyebrows and the mustache and that face shape from?
Moustache??😂
@@coach_sambarnes Yes exactly 😅
(Sorry lol)
What would happen if i did this 6 times a week? (monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, and sunday?)
and like would you recommend doing it at night or like when you wake up?
Working out six days a week is fine but I wouldn't recommend doing this same workout for the six days as once you've worked out a muscle group, the growing phase happens over the next 24-48 hours whilst it rests. So by training it everyday you're technically overtraining it and stopping it from growing. If you wanted to just do this workout, I would recommend doing it around 3x a week, or if you're looking for more, try my workout plan from this - th-cam.com/video/Cpj54TxdHyI/w-d-xo.html 👊🏻
Sam Barnes alright, thanks!! it was hard but i really want to get back into working out and this is great. I'll stick to it 3x a week for maybe a few weeks until i add more. i want to get used to it and stuff. thanks again though!!
So how many calories would you recommend cause i usually eat less than 1800 sooo?

Bro I can't even do one push up
Start with incline, you should find that easier to begin with. Then move on to standard push ups, but with your knees on the ground.
This is random but you look like Eggsy from Kingsman xx
👍👏👌
Bruh I can’t do half a push up.
Put your knees on the floor👍🏻
I can't even do a single push up
Start on an incline. Higher the incline, easier the push up. This could even be 90 degrees, so up against a wall.
bold of you to assume i can do more than one normal push-ups...
knee pushups are ok, but normal ones, jeez.
