Man i fell off the fitness bandwagon durring covid and your vids have really gotten me back into back into lifting and cycling. Keep on the content bro, happy new year!
Been watching you for a bit over a year now and i'm really impressed with the growth of your channel. i appreciate how genuine and honest you are with your subscribers and i've always been a big fan of your content. Keep up the good work Shervin!
Great video ! I would really like to see your bench press form dialed in. There are several cues you’re missing. Other than that - your form looked solid! Congrats on the gains !
Really nice video dude. So good for documenting it all. And for gaining all that muscle! And that bench at the end, wow! What was you visceral fat? (Asking because of last clip)
Love your channel and content Shervin. I find it a little ironic how honed in you are on certain measurements and metrics like sleep, body fat %, and glucose levels, while also being so lackadaisical about tracking calories and macros.
@10:23 Your remark is spot on! That’s what I meant in my commentary to a previous video you did: There’s a trade off between muscularity vs. running ease. That’s why I decided to “shrink my brawn”, making my running more joyful 🙂
Overall great video! Super inspiring! However, I think this goes to show that feeling better and stronger than you did 90 days ago carries much more meaning than dexa scan results or data in general. Yes, it's important for elite athletes but, as shown in the video, it's not always reliable and it can hurt motivation and mindset. Regardless, the improvement was definitely there and I think you both should be tremendously proud of that! Throw the data to the wayside and hang your hat on the results instead!
Measuring the absolute lifting weight increase isn't helpful at all (+25lbs and +40lbs). Two better methods would be: - Relative increase (115 -> 140 = 22% increase) vs (260 -> 300 = 15% increase). Useful to see who improved the most. - Lift as a % of body weight (140/173 = 81%) vs (300/212 = 142%). Useful to see who is stronger for their size. Rational: Increasing the weight from 40lbs to 80lbs is a 100% increase but from 260 to 300 is just a 15% increase. This relative increase is what's important. Great job to both of you though! I'm interested to see a 3 month follow-up to see if you've stuck with it :)
Sorry but you are completely wrong there. Your rational to why the relative increase is more important is 'this relative increase is what's important' xD Adding 20lbs to a 200lbs lift is way way more dificult than adding 20lbs to a 100lbs lift (same exercise). So if you in addition to that now consider relative increase instead of absolute, then you set the advanced lifter at a double disadvantage. Not very fair for a contest.
Must be a special type of guy. I did the whole gym thing because I was skinny. Roughly 5 months of it, gained no weight. I gave up. The whole process was soul destroyingly boring and seemed pointless. I must have the wrong genetics for weights. Seeing people succeed is inspiring. Maybe I should give it another go.
It should have been percentage of increased weight (lifting) for an apples-to-apples comparison. Jumping from 115 to 140 lb is a 21% increase. 260 to 300 lb is only 15%. Great accomplishment by both or you but I don’t think Sherman won when the math speaks…
Thanks for the quick reply! Sorry. I guess what I’m asking was it high weight/low reps in the gym, or lower weight/higher reps, or some kind of mix? I think I asked the wrong question lol
If you were going for pure gains it's Large lifts, few Reps low Cardio, The more Reps you go for the more you tone, unless you have excess body fat losing or gaining weight isn't likely. Those FAT GAINS are with the pushing and tearing of your muscles forcing the gain, make sure to eat those Sliced Banana & Peanut Butter Pancakes with honey/maple syrup, If you aren't getting the Gain you want go to 2 a day workouts no Cardio.
Bro, be careful with the bench press. Don't put any strain on your knees. I have seen people tearing their ACL while bench pressing. Great video Shervin. I am also motivated to do a challenge after watching this. ❤
@@ShervinShares The dude was doing inclined presses. Some people press their legs against the floor while doing presses with heavy weights. I thought you were doing the same when i saw your quads flexing. But I guess that comes into play only with an inclined press.
@@ShervinShares no it was not bad at all but asked because I started editing a few months back and wanted some experience(Also saw your name as editor in the end credit so thought I had a chance)😄
