in case you are in hurry.. Perhaps i missed some stuff but in short it is 1 . Increase strength not only in 1 rep mac but in all rep ranges like 10,15 2. Chase the pump 3. Slowly increase workout volume 4. Get slightly in protien and calories surplus if you are in deficit 5 . Be healthy maintain a healthy hormone Balance
Thank you so much for the valuable information!! As a medical student I find myself enjoying your podcasts more than an average lecture tbh 😂😂😂 It makes lots of previous notions click and makes all the information seem more practical! I wish this podcast was receiving the recognition it needs here on RU-vid
Its amazing to me how I've never even heard of any of these guys and by the way they talk and act they are very successful. They def kno what they're talking about so I'm always open and willing to learn more
My first question is . When you guys randomly talk sometimes I wonder does this apply only to dudes ? Do most things you guys discuss apply to women as well ? Also I’m overweight now, just got into the gym and enjoying building muscle and actually not doing cardio. when I’m not overweight I am skinny fat and no muscle, I think my back muscles are atrophied too!! Nonexistent ! And I struggled with bulimia in my younger years and the binge and starve cycle! Can you do an episode on people in a similar situation to mine? Because I really wonder how tough my path ahead to build muscle really will be !! What’s the best plan for people that are used to starving, have a messed up metabolism, have very low muscle mass… etc… i am ver y concerned w my metabolism at this point… Thanks I really like your channel .
Fellas, the level of info here is superb. Really advanced stuff. You thoroughly described what one needs to do in the gym, and more importantly, why. Salute.
I love the advice you guys give but this episode was on another level. EXCELLENT! Will def. look into a thing or two regarding my health and implement the workout strategies recommended as well.
Strength and aesthetics are tied together. I didn't start looking good until I got stronger. I got stronger all over by deadlifting more weight. I'm not a trainer, but my advice would be to make the deadlift the cornerstone of your plan because I've seen firsthand what happens when making improvements on that lift. Everything just got better overall.
@@aj7907 it makes your core better. It fires up your central nervous system, which will adapt to help hold heavier weights. You can also get in a power rack and do rack pulls from the knee with a very heavy weight.
Great info guys ! All show no go is very common with the people I'm surrounded with and gives me an opportunity to teach them the right way to be sustainable longer down the road. Also, around the 30min mark Adam had some boogie situation on his stash 🤦♂️🙄
Many powerlifters/strongmen say that the risk to reward ratio for deadlifts is not worth it, as in if your goal isnt to set PRs or to compete then deadlifts are not worth the risk what do you guys think
Imo deads r the king of excersises works hundreds of muscles but if taken to an extreme then the risk of injury is extreme like any other excersise just my opinion tho
Those powerlifter are talking about deadlifting 500-800lbs. Need to understand the context of their conversation. For general population Just deadlift a weight that can challenge you but not kill you. 200-400 is a decent weight for 90% of the population. But once you master the concept and techniques you will automatically try to lift heavier.human nature I guess
Man I'm having a heck of time really working my chest. It's almost never sore after a workout; the most it's been sore in the 6 months I've been working out has been when I did a workout of pushups followed immediately by chest flys, from 15 reps counting down by 1 to 5 reps. I can squeeze my chest fine but just can't seem to really use it specifically for presses. I'm getting slightly better, but I've done sets of chest presses and my shoulders are burning instead of chest (I was shrugging my shoulders up a lot which I've since been paying attention to and stopping). Flys are def easier to just use the pecs. So frustrating.
Hi! Did u try floor press? If your elbows won't pass line of your body (as they do when u lay on the bench) your shoulders shouldn't be that much engage in pushing while bench press. You can also do variation of floor press on Smith machine which is amazing to isolate your chest.
@@etusik Thanks for the reply. I've since gotten better at just using my chest for movements and think I'm doing pretty well now. I may not be perfect but my chest will be sore afterwards, and not my front delts, so I think I'm on the right track lol. Probably the biggest thing that helped was getting recommended PumpChaser's (Chris Jones) video called "retract your fuckin scapula" lol. I had heard that multiple times but it didn't seem to click until Chris explained it and showed an easy way to do it. It probably was more of an issue for me because my shoulders are so rounded forward and dominant (I've got total shit posture). Going 37 years with chest muscles equivalent to a 12 year old boy's, yeah, chest movements don't come easy.
Had a similar issue, Use a completely isolated work out like the peck deck, starting with lighter weight going slow on the eccentric, the connection will click, then keep going up on weight to a good rep range.
Question … if we are tracking sets, reps and weights to figure out our volume month to month, what happens when we seek out a novel stimulus like decreasing or increasing rep ranges or incorporating different exercises? It seems difficult to track progress if we are adjusting the variables every few months... Any advice?
It’s interesting to me that after listening to you gentlemen for months now, that most of the basics they speak of are the very principles you learn about in any traditional strength program like Starting Strength by Rippetoe. I am a woman and wish I knew that strength was the place to begin instead of numerous isolation exercises. What a waste of time!
Why is it so hard for companies like Felix Gray to realize that many of us need to wear correctional glasses and need to fit blue blockers over those? Not one style for that. Pass.
You could probably look into reverse dieting. I was pretty much in the same position, gaining fat at real low calories. Reverse dieting slowly and following MAPS Anabolic has made me feel better than I have in years!
You guys all married, right? And have kids. What's wrong with some...felines? I love, husband! And I like listening to you guys. Because I think you guys help me out, figure things out. Matt or Mark/Marcos maybe even husband, you guys have contact with. You guys did not know who I was before, I subscribed to your channel! Right? No no. I don't compete, okay? I have a husband, already. Chill, felines. Those that apply.
