Everything Austin has said is 100% on point. I used to be a skinny 120lb kid at 5'6" now being 150lbs and lean ive noticed a huge change in how the world around me treats me. Before I used to be invisible, most likley a product of my lack of self confidence. Now being somewhat built and having a better physique than most, people stop and stare, notice you more, respect you, and overall just treat you better. When you start treating your body better, people start treating you better
If you want everything in your life to be in order, your health,your finances, your relationships with family, friends and all your loved ones as well as kids Trust in the name and the power of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father and The Holy Spirit. Say this Prayer to ask God for Freedom in Christ Jesus. ●Say: Jesus Christ i ask you to please come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour, please Bless my soul and make me a true child of God. Thank you for saving me and setting me free. In Jesus name. Amen . GOD LOVES YOU*
I would also agree with you bro, after just one year of normal bodyweight exercises I got more respect from my peers and class mates and even got the eyes of a lot of chicks
This never stops. I am 61 and in great shape, because I still lift. I still get respect from everyone. I often get asked how old I am and they cannot believe it when I tell them I am over 60. and about access, my last GF told me I feel safe when I am with you. LOL and I am 61. Never stop working out , never stop improving.
Addiction of any kind is wrong but this comment reeks of "if u play video games,ur a nerd" BS, personally I can prove u wrong but Tyler1 and many many other streamers are a great example to refute ur claims
Damn that’s so true about not even realising how skinny you are until people start to mention it. When I was younger, so many people used to make comments about my weight to the point that I started to become self-conscious about it. I’d liken it to fat shaming, I think it has the same effect. Weight is a tough one but I’d try to advise people not to become obsessed with your weight, but build a healthy relationship with it and slowly progress to what you deem as more desirable. It tends to boil down to lifestyle choices. The daily things you do that become habit. For example, when you’re thirsty, do you drink soda or water? Do you snack on fruit or cake? Do you go for a walk every day, or is a walk not part of your routine? One thing I credit my mother on was that she would never keep a weighing scale at home. And when I asked her why, she said that she didn’t want anyone in this house weighing themselves daily, obsessing over their weight. Everyone in my family is slim - for the record - but I can understand it better now that I’m older. It wasn’t until I got around other people that I realised how important they deemed weight.
Man. This guy is GOOD!!! The advice is SPEAKING to me frfr. Getting fit and in shape is a process. Lord knows that I want to be just like that to being able to maintain a healthy lifestyle and improve in both my confidence and mental wellbeing. Being underweight is such a BUST and I hate it. But there is NO time to complain about it now. The REAL WORK Begins. Thank you Austin for sharing this on your experience.
This video is so relatable.. my teenage years I barely ate. If I did it was either whatever I had at school and then come home and eat brownies, chips, and drink Kool Aid Jammers along with my Mom cooked/bought. I’ve been lifting consistently since May 2022 and I have seen immense improvement once I stayed consistent with training and my diet.
Actually attractive people that get hella compliments are the most insecure because they rely on validation from others to the point where they seek it and if they don’t get it they crumble. Self love = confident. Self love = causes you to care of yourself and needs and that makes you confident
It does but too many people rely off the confidence from the outside world that when they hit a hole they act feminine. Because they’re so use to the validation from others. Too much of it isn’t what a man needs. Just off his accomplishments alone he can walk tall no matter how hard he falls or how other people perceive him.
Glad you made this video. I have experienced a similar thing as a kid who was always really skinny. I wish I had started my fitness journey sooner but glad I have over the last 2 1/2 years. Keep up the great work AD.
Austin is NOT wrong! I started filling out later in life(I'm 30 now) and I have to replace some vests because they literally couldn't get on me, some of them squeeze, and I legitimately didn't see that change. I used to weigh 110 in High School. I'm a solid 145 now give and take for the day.
Understanding nutrition definitely is a game changer, and then prioritizing protein. Many often guess I'm 25-30 but I'm turning 36. Exercise is critical 😊☀️💪🍖
The part about instinctively sizing up another man on who can beat up who is very true even if we don't like to admit it. I think for most of my life I got the low key satisfaction of the intimidation factor from my height, and never felt the need to build muscle. Other guys kept a respectful distance in any case. The downside is that I'm now in my mid 30s and put off lifting weights until last year. Glad I didn't wait any longer.
I agree when I worked out all the time and was 165 at 5'8" everyone trusted in whatever I said but now at 140 no one listens to me. So I've recently started working out again. It's really affecting my work
I also used to have people wrap their hands around my skinny wrists as a kid/teen. It was so humiliating. You laugh it off, and then realize...holy shit I'm skinny as fuck and I want respect. That's part of what got me into the gym.
One thing i learned is that people will always judge a book by its cover. Its just da way the world works. I think its good though. It forces you to work hard.
If you are interested in being taken SERIOUSLY (by men or women) you NEED to have 2 of these 3 assets: 1) Money 2) Muscles 3) Game Lets break these down. Money: shows that you have competence in today's world. We used to have to hunt and kill in order to provide, now its about making cash. Muscles: indicate that you are disciplined and contribute to a masculine frame respected by people you interact with. Game: is the understanding of social queues that allows you to make big deals or approach and seduce attractive women. Here we talk about muscles, and they are hands down necessary. You want confidence? Build muscles. You want more respect? Build muscles. You want more women? Build muscles. Stop saying "one day" and make today "day one."
I lost about 100lbs of fat and gained some muscle People started treating me way differently. Even tho i have my own group of friends for years when i was almost morbidly obese i always noticed something strange when i was around them and the way they treated me. I have no idea what exactly it is but people no matter how close they are to you they definitively treat you differently depending on your phisique
You're the type of person who gets more good looking as you age. When you were younger you look gorgeous. When you get older it gets subtle so there's more balance there.
I'm skinny fat and don't know which direction to go in the gym, I have fat on me that I really want to get rid of but I don't know whether to bulk and build muscle and then cut or to eat a calorie deficit and slowly build muscle (noob gains) and lose fat at the same time.
It depends bro - if you’re a complete newbie in the gym and you’re like under 20% bodyfat, you’re gonna cut first (only 200-300 calories in a deficit every day) while still going to the gym and getting stronger at key lifts. You’re in a space where you can still make gains in a deficit so Don’t worry about building so much muscle rn, just lean down over the next 6-12 months. Bulking when you’re not strong AND not lean sucks because your body is way more likely to store those extra calories as fat instead of muscle cause your insulin sensitivity sucks, and you’re not gonna look as good as you think you will after a bulk. (I made this mistake and was confused why I was still skinny fat after months of a “bulk”). But if you lean down to 10-12%, THEN bulk (only a 200-400 calorie surplus daily) your insulin sensitivity will be much better, and because you’re gaining weight slowly, you will build more muscle than fat, and build upon the strength you gained in your cutting phase.
Cut first is what works for me. I eat healthily, have a proper protein intake, and work out. I bulked for 3 months and I regret it - my arms were still skinny, but my belly went immense! I felt terrible and my self-confidence dropped even more. Now I cut - I'm still skinny, but my belly is flatter. My self-confidence increased to a level I never had before. Try it for about 2 months and check how you feel. If you don't like it, bulk or recomp. You have nothing to lose, beside your belly. I lost 7 kg but my arms and chest are a little bigger - everyone notices. Cutting is really hard and needs inhuman patience. Better to do it for 3 months and then lean bulk than bulk and then suffer dieting for a year.
As someone who was in the same position a long time ago. Just eat at maintenance and apply progressive overload for a year. At that point you can decide whether to cut or bulk from there. I know it can be super confusing in the beginning but trust me you'll see the difference if you stick to one thing for either 6months to a year. Don't second guess yourself and yoyo around. After 6months to a year of consistent diet and training you will have a better visible indication as to what to do next pertaining to your body. Gl hope this helps.
I started workin out cause i had a high sugar level nd didn’t wanna get diabetes but I get the point i kinda enjoy workin out for myself nd for women too 😂
6”3 215lbs and I’m skinny fat which is crazy. Been working out 5months straight now I went from 205-215 so I guess I need to keep eating until I’m 240 or something
You reap what you sow. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting
It's also a way to find like minded friends, not just GF's. Great talk, on point, to the point. Not douchette style, (yellin' and yellin') "eat more protein"
I am working on getting stronger and more jacked but I dont really think in day to day life anyone or myself will really give 2 fucks. I just want to fill out my tall frame and be stronger to give some arsehole a beating if I am forced into it + being able to lift stuff easier is nice. Already feel satiafying easily being able to lift suitcases into overhead locker now compared to the past.
Bro I got one question and one question only. I already workout a lot and i relate to everything you said. But do you also practice intermittent fasting? I noticed my body tends to store more fat around the mid section and that's the part I'm working on.
lol I take no protein/creatine straight eating pizzas everyday and train 20 minutes a day I’m strong like a bull full of musca, 25% bf and losing weight for 6 months now, started almost 200, right now 175 and I added some muscle weight too, idk how much I’m a pure mesomorph but I was borderline obese nearly all my life, til I realized you eat when you hungry and stop when you full, that’s it, you don’t eat when feel sad, bored, happy, none of that! You eat when the body tells you buddy I’m hungry and STOP when it tells you buddy I had enough. That’s why God created hormones for! LETS GET IT CHAMPS 🥇
This dude been working out atleast 5-6yrs he might want to tell you guys that. After 3yrs most of us might be able to look like him but we have to get there first then change diet
Hi, can you make a video for the ones that are really skinny and real ectomorphs? The lanky ones that for example is 180 cm and 60 kg and are grown ups. Not the 13-15 years old that skinny and when they get in puberty and lift they grow as.....
His physique is totally achievable naturally. He takes the advantage of good lighting in pictures and videos which make him look more good but when he is sitting here and talking and the lighting is not very good, his physique seems totally natural and achievable.
Even I would be like he's on something but seeing his older pictures say's boy got really good genetics, he put the work in and that's what you get with good genetics+hardwork...
"women like man who can protect", well, how about boys who just looks good? in my observation get an emo boy and a body builder to compete and girls would surely always fawn over with the looks, just try to look on omegle, just with looks without even doing anything girls would present themselves while the body builder have to do some sorts to just get a reaction inferior to those with the looks
