I think you’re missing the point here. I’m not saying that they don’t matter. When people first start they put way too much real estate in weight and reps without regard to form or execution. That is my principal point here. I do agree weight and volume do matter, but they only matter in the context to the former.
@@vinnyvangoethem6426 it’s obvious you didn’t watch the video because I literally say this. But thank you for your useless comment that bumps my video.
@@Slooofer I recommend building muscle first always. It will add shape and increase your ability to burn fat passively over time by increasing your metabolism. Once you Build about 10-15lbs of muscle then focus on losing fat.
@@GinoCiavone Okay thank you! Sorry, but do you have any tips on how much I should eat? My daily calorie intake is very inconsistent, I (think) it's around 900-1800 per day, sometimes I might get around 2200
@@Paint75 As someone who fucking has it, no it isn't. Don't sit behind a screen and yap about something of which is out of your experience, goofy ahh paint
Idk why we are still using tone amd toning today, theres not such thing as toning, the action of toning is just to reduce fat around specific areas of the body(which btw isnt a thing). This is just further confusing and already confused population wothin the fitness space.
@@darthwagner5897 that is true. But when someone is over weight they are usually sacropenic, meaning they have very little muscle. They also have messed up insulin sensitivity which makes it harder to control blood sugar. Making it damn near impossible for them to build muscle until they get their weight and blood sugars management under control. So they should focus on cardio.
For some people, it might be true that they don’t want to eat this close to working out but it’s not true for a lot of people so you really shouldn’t be stating this as fact. It’s just not proven thing and you’re not right so stop posting false information just so you can try to make money off of social media.
@@kcaudio1125 hold on did you just say for some people it’s true and for some it’s not? Where are you getting this information? Sounds to me like you’re making shit up brother 😂
Your body isn’t stupid and isn’t limited in doing multiple functions at one time. There is 0 difference to food sitting in your stomach or not while you exercise
@@082797ih true. Everything is made up. That is the nature of language itself. Creating meaning from words that represent things we don’t fully understand. 🤷
joints and connective tissue are both bolstered as a result of strength training. As long as you dont overload them too quickly in training, they will develop over time.
@@AnthonyBolognese710 whether the connective tissue is short or long is a genetic trait. You can no elongate them. This is why some people have peaked short belly muscles and others have flatter long belly muscles.
@@GinoCiavone the connective tissue gets stronger with training. It’s got less to do with insertion points, length, and other genetic traits, than it does overall bone density, connective tissue hypertrophy, and other adaptations. There’s already enough people that believe they’re genetically screwed. When you make arguments stating that strength is dependent on immutable genetic traits, you’re insinuating (whether intentionally or not) that some people are pretty much screwed, when that’s not necessarily true All things being equal, yes some people have genetic traits that are beneficial and provide greater strength potential. But it’s potential. Someone with garbage insertion points, long arms, and long femurs can still be very strong.
@@GinoCiavone if you actually spent time learning what you claim to know, you’d be able to actually offer real advise rather than pseudoscience. Way to demonstrate a lack of character with the personal attacks and totally derailing the original argument…I’m happy your audience can see this. By the way, if that’s really you, I’m way bigger than you bro 🙄🤣😂
What a truly dumb argument. You can’t stand in front of a whiteboard to look like you know what you are talking about to make up for your nonsense. When lifting weight you need an actionable force (muscle contraction) to… you know… move. Bones don’t do anything except give your body structure and support.
Insulin isn't a muscle building hormone, it just gives your cells glucose so they can do stuff like repair damaged tissue, but you are right about what to eat, though I would probably give your digestive system even more time than 45 minutes to an hour before you workout.
@@DeadlyGhost1207 insulin is not a muscle building hormone but it feeds your muscles and helps them repair? Insulin is indeed a muscle building hormone my friend when used in conjunction with weight training and eating carbs. Spiking insulin around training is a common bodybuilding technique. Look into John Meadows and cyclic dextrin
Nah, the body is not that sensitive. Waiting a few hours to eat does not harm gains. Eating before you train does matter. The "anabolic'' window is a meme if anything.
@@simdal3088 nah bruh this comment is a meme. Nutrient timing has more to do with hormone manipulation than hitting a “window”. If you familiar with glucose translocation then you would understand this concept at face value. Working with beginners it’s all about keeping a simple approach and the fact is that if people don’t eat after there workout it can cause low blood sugar, nausea and extend their recovery timeline. This is a fact. Also my channel is for beginners. If you don’t agree then you don’t have to stay but no one asked for your invalid opinion.
@@GinoCiavoneNow see I just had to read though your comments to see what your thought process was. Clearly your ideas on this have never been proven in any amount of serious studies. The anabolic window is still larger than what you’re proclaiming. Guys watch dr. Mike. This is another Athlean x type of bullshitter.
@@GinoCiavone Can’t help what’s coming in my shorts feed. Plus I feel the need to tell creators like yourself when I feel some info is wrong. We’re human and we make mistakes so I’m not bashing you. But telling someone that is only gonna demotivate them.
@@Darksiegify creator? I’ve been a coach for over 12 years. I don’t take offense from anything you said, however you are a consumer. My channel is to help beginners build muscle therefore your opinion isn’t necessary except to make you feel important.
@@GinoCiavoneBecoming a coach is easy my friend. Saying you’ve been doing something that’s easy to obtain for long period of time is to make YOU feel important. You’re spreading misinformation flat out which makes sense because your field doesn’t educate you on the up to date science of the human body. You’ll figure it out someday bud
@@Darksiegify lmao brother you just discredited 12 years of experience saying you know better? 😂 Why don’t you get some courage and make your own videos instead of being a consumer?
Mechanical tension is the prime factor leading to hypertrophy. The muscle being “damaged” is just a byproduct of training with a relatively close proximity to failure.
@@GinoCiavone no but you probably read in a muscle magazine that you “micro tear the muscle and eat food to rebuild it” to build muscle like this that simple lol
@@icecoldlemonade3939 brother your muscles absolutely go through microtearing. The fact that you don’t understand that makes me realize how little you know about muscle growth.
@@GinoCiavone neurological adaptation after recruiting enough motor units during training with a close proximity to local failure is, the micro tears aren’t. Don’t come at me with blanket statements like that buddy🤣🙏
I wait couple days to eat. It's fine. You can fast and work out and eat hours or days later. I'm a pretty big guy and it works great for me and running and plenty of my body fat. Ketones and stuff preserves muscle and increases growth hormone.
@@adamkarns5455 I’m happy you found a ways that works for you. However that is not the case for most people. Insulin is the most anabolic hormone in the body and builds muscles incredible fast. You need to prioritize it to get the most muscle growth out of your training. Which requires you to eat carbs especially around your workout.
@@michaels7845 timing can do a lot in terms of helping you build muscle. Especially when you are training. You can’t eat while you train so EAAs act as a substitute. That’s being said they aren’t necessary just a tool.
@@GinoCiavone I’m going to try it for a month too see if I see a difference in growth I just don’t want to waste money on unnecessary supplements. In your video I think you said one b4 and one after work out right? I think I seen that video about timing when to take it for maximum growth I think you said 30-40 minutes after work out is that same for the eaas 30-40 minutes after workout just refresh my memory
@@michaels7845 diet mostly and I don’t wash it. Shampoos and conditioners have chemicals that damage & thin the hair follicle. Removing the natural oils on your beard. I just rinse it with water and eat healthy.
@@GinoCiavone that’s good news that I don’t have to do much to keep it healthy. The only thing that sucks is I got flakes it’s so annoying I thought you would have a solution for that, like an oil or moisturizer. My diet is good so I don’t know what the problem is
Great information, I hit a plateau last year when I was hitting the gym. I think you nailed it on the head about tempo, I was only interested in getting my sets done and lost interest since I wasn’t gaining anymore.
@@backyardbassin7125 yes very common. We all get impatient at some point because we aren’t seeing progress fast enough so we think it’s not working. You just have to have faith and employ these methods.
I took your advice and started doing my cardio after my workout. Let me just say that starting that on leg day is not the best idea, almost face planted into the treadmill getting on it and when I got off of it and almost fell face first in front of two other guys, one guy looks at me and says, leg day? Absolutely sir! 😂
So yeah, basically "build muscle lose fat" = tone. I don't understand why you don't want to call it that. You gonna go around saying build muscle lose fat every time?
It's bc a lotta ppl have this idea that toning is some specific concept that can be trained separate from building/maintaining muscle and losing fat when it's not
@@GinoCiavone sry you feel that way, but before you jump on the internet and get to influencing and teaching, you should get a basic fundamental understanding of what you are talking about. I'm sorry but you are being a bad influence. What most of you dudes don't understand is that growth is a function of protein synthesis, adequate rest and increases with your work capacity (or alternatively dose). You need a holistic approach and muscle control for hypertrophy is not the umbrella over it all. That's pure nonsense. The actual umbrella would be fitness. By that I mean understanding and manipulating intensity and volume to grow work capacity and increase fitness over time. You chose to do that by injecting steroids, taking your protein synthesis to otherworldly levels and then you focused on managing fatigue through isolating muscles and instead of learning about volume and intensity you learned about what's the ideal style of training for a steroid user when it comes to hypertrophy. In short you strike me as someone that has no idea what they are talking about. Your progress is tightly coupled with your dose. And your advice isn't completely wrong, but it pertains to just one phase of training, namely hypertrophy. Again sry if it comes off as hating on you. I'm sure if people listen to you on hypertrophy strategies they'll get results. You got a great physique. But you still don't know much about how everything really intersects and interacts and you have apparently substituted actual knowledge on the subject with your own collection of myths and old-school knowledge that you freestyle arranged. That's not great for teaching. That's all I am saying. Again impressive physique and solid hypertrophy advice. On the broader picture you seriously lack knowledge.
I see where you are coming from. mma is practical and helps you defend yourself. Muscle for me helped me build confidence. So just depends on your reasons I guess.
I recommend getting an Inbody Scan done. You can get one at most nutrition shops or a big gym. Just call up and ask if they have one. The scan only takes about 45 seconds.
