Can your body really be tricked into thinking it’s actually heavier just because you’re wearing a 30 pound vest? The reason I ask is because I imagine your body knows what a real 30 pound addition looks like and how it spread out vs just adding weight to a body part.
Just going to comment on the pushups cause I do calisthenics and there are ways to progressively overload as well. You have many pushup variations that can be useful, stranded pushups, archer push ups and, one of my future goals, the planche push-up. I can't do them yet but you can work towards them by bringing your hands closer are closer to your center of mass(pseudo-planch push-up), making you lift more weight. The final goal is to not have your feet touch the floor at all during a push-up.
Some sweeteners in diet soda even cause insulin spikes in the blood which worsens insulin sensitivity over time and can eventually raise blood sugar levels did a quick google, could you please elaborate on that? Thank you
I've lost 25 pounds, I have an extremely low genetic metabolism, 2300 calories burned per day combined (maintenance) at 312 pounds (my highest point). to lose the 25 pounds I have so far i'm literally starving myself. It's a thing, i'm still losing, it's not just a choice.
You report all the supposed harm of gear, you neglected to note all the positive gains eith PED use. TRUTH IS THE POSITIVES FAR OUT WEIGH THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF PED USE...
Use of PED'S are no shortcut, these who use gear train 500 times harder than those who dont. Also its not like you rake a pill or shot and look like a pro instantly, you still have to put in the work at the gym..
So what would be the best minimalist 3 day split? For strength and a functional body, without gaining to much weight. To complement martial arts training.
Great video, Jeff. As usual. Just wondering how you came up with the 90% number, regarding the importance of protein distribution and total daily protein intake. I'm not disputing that these are probably the 2 most important factors as far as protein consumption is concerned, but why 90%?

If somebody can gain over 4 lbs of muscle in 10 weeks as a beginner and no steroids that makes me pretty confident. I couldn't care less about the steroids part of this video thats exactly the stats I wanted to see.
For intermediate to advanced lifters, if you’re strictly tracking your progressive overload, wouldn’t setting a limit of reps and then increasing either the weight or the number of reps weekly or as you can based on your last performance, automatically over time get rid of the need to autoregulate mid workout/set?
okay important question. If I want to lose fat and gain muscle simultaneously why would I focus on one more than the other? Like My BMR is 1764 but i need a defecit from that to lose fat? How will i gain muscle on 1500? I burn at least 400 calories per day in exercise. it doesnt seem right. pls help! Female, 222lbs, 5'5 and a half, 28 y/0, more fat than muscle for sure
well....as someone who has been a certified trainer since you were probably 5 or 6 years old and have tried most sups since the mid 90s that have come out, it is going to also depend on the person... I was a hyper responder to Turk but tried different manufacturers and not all are created the same....even as a very experienced lifter I saw and felt visible results - the tell tell for me was my shoulders and my jawline squaring - meanwhile Ecdy did NOTHING for me
I have a longer femur bone and I found theese to be superior or at least more comfortable than normal squats. Also I am seeing more gains than with ordinary squats, thank you Jeff
I do my kickbacks in 2 different hand positions because it works out the muscles differently. So, at full extension, one of them is the normal grip that anybody uses, kind of a vertical grip. And then I'll alternate with a more horizontal grip at full extension. Also, I think a lot of people don't recognize that there is an additional benefit for the wrist when you do your kickbacks. I have arthritis and so, like playing the guitar for a long time or drawing for a long time is painful. But I actually found that if I don't have time to do specific wrist workouts as part of my routine, I can use the kickbacks and the benefit of that weighted kickback. Your wrist has to be able to carry the weight before it even gets to be challenging for your tricep.
One of the least known and least practiced brachioradialis workouts I'm aware of is called the "butter churner", which, no, is not slang for some erotic practice. Use a fixed barbell and stand it vertically, resting one end on the floor. The top weight should be about chest height, dependent on your height. Grip the barbell with an over under hand position, and raise the fixed barbell straight up, and then down, slowly and fluidly with no jerking. This targets the brachioradialis near exclusively. 12-15 of these and you'll be crying and struggling to even move your forearms the next day. Good stuff.
