That second one really helped me. When I go on runs, I usually can’t go for too long. I always thought that I just had low stamina. When I went on a run after watching this, when I was starting to breath heavily and slow down, I almost stopped but I kept going. Eventually I went into a state where I felt I could run for a really long time without stopping and I doubled previous length of running without stopping and I felt like I could go even further. Thank you!
I've been lifting for about 15 years and have experienced both overtraining and undertraining. On the note of "not working out hard enough", this is what I've learned: 1. Higher intensity and higher quality sets will always be better than simply adding more volume (and its more time effective as well). 2. Higher frequency but shorter workouts are better (if your schedule allows for it). You'll feel "fresher" for each workout and will have a better chance keeping the intensity of the workout high. 3. Always strive for some form of progressive overload (as mentioned in the video). 4. You should generally leave your workout feeling better than you felt when you started (ie. happier and energized). You should feel like you're on the verge of being exhausted, but stop one or two sets before getting to that point. If you leave feeling extremely exhausted, you probably overtrained. Doing this once in a while isn't a big deal, but doing this every time will actually hurt your gains.
You could do dirty bulking, it is not recommendable, but if you can't eat what you must, eat due to your work or lack of time, then better build muscle first and lose fat after that, I think it's better than lose all your effort and staying in the same state that you began with.
@@leeslover ❤️❤️idk if it would work for you but have a friend you can talk about your fitness journey with, personally i feel that its easier to stay on track with a buddy
I have a history of eating disorders, so I would rather not be tracking my calories and go back on that road, is there any other way to eat healthy and enough? I have a lot of traumas connected to counting and obsessing over calories, and almost died. However, I still want to build some muscle.
I can’t lie, progressive overload doesn’t work how it sounds. You won’t always get that extra rep in or increase that weight. Allways trying to pr is over fatiguing. Your gonna have periods of 1-2 months where your not hitting pr’s and your not really getting those extra reps in. You’re pretty much just doing the same weight and reps and still building up muscle and getting use to the weight. It’s called a plateau and it’s NOT A BAD THING. Don’t rush away your plateau. Your joints need time to recover, your muscles need time to mature and recover. It’s great to push yourself but here’s your friendly reminder if you’re in a slow spot and you haven’t hit a pr or gotten in more reps it’s okay. You’re still building muscle, your body is still growing and your still setting in that mind set and progress. Keep pushing kings 👑
I just literally broke down and cried. People look at results of of videos and try to measure that to what their doing. I know I do sometimes… they make it look easy. But this working out and eating right is such long grind , keep going everybody. 323 to 306, 100 more to go💯💪🏾
I do the progressive overload thing always on my last sets of every workout I always tell myself “ight fuck let me kill it last set” while doing more then I’m usually doing
That’s why ur not growing u need to progressively overload at the start of your workout with every set and train to absolute failure. It’s so simple yet nobody seems to know still
guys this is my homeworkout, Im a 12 year old boy Pushups (3x10) Underhand pull-ups (3x10) Over-hand pull-ups (3x10) Plank (1min) Situps(3x10) Squats (3x10) Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday are my workout days Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday are my rest days Im pretty weak, please give me any advice or tweak my workout routine
you’re only twelve so you won’t be able to make that much progress, i’ll give you a little advice though. Your current routine only develops Triceps, Chest, Back, and Core. go for something full body, you can find splits on google
Hey could you make a vid about working out back as I struggle a lot with mind muscle connection and my forearms r too weak for back exercises even with straps
I’m on a good diet but still see no progress and very confused about my forms and that I start too go hard on myself and get frustrated, I eat fruits, protien, vegetables, and I try too learn from videos but gets complicated and I get mad and just wanna give up
If you train to almost fail on the 6th rep, as in its your last. You’re actually training more for strength and power. Hypertrophy has best results when using 85% of your max output with a rep range of 8 minimum - 12. Number of sets can differ person to person
Leg raises, L holds, deadlifts, and movements which rely on maintaining balance with an added weight while shifting the gravity centre are the best(that means basicaly, squats, non supported rows, etc...)
