10 reasons why I make muscle:
I go to gym consistently
I eat a lot
I eat healthy & cook my own food
I sleep a lot
I avoid stressful situations
I dress up tight to not get cold
I do drop sets & try to feel the muscle
I have a positive mindset & love what I do
I listen to good music
I train alone
Thats the mindset man!
@trainerwinny
Thanks, man. I started around the time you started this channel. I feel a connection.
How do you perform a drop set properly? Can you give me an exmple.
@thedman623 I do my normal working weight on a machine. Let's say I work with 70 kg. I used to do 10x4 of that and leave. Now, right after I finish my 4th set, I drop the weight down to something like 55 kg and do another 5-8 reps. Right after that, I drop it to 45 and pump it out until I can't anymore. Only do this if it is your last exercise of that muscle group that day.
@@user-zp9nf5qo8j thanks man. I did bb bench press yesterday with 80kg one set till failure, then lowered to 60 till failure then 40. Then I was destroyed and felt not so confident to do other exercises. I did them anyways but maybe I overpushed it. I will try your method.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
Love that one
I dont have a training plan and don't track and i constantly get compliments from people (i go 11 months)
I just use my head. How much did i do last time? Can i do more reps? Can i do more weight? Am i hitting all muscle groups?
Dont get fooled thats what ingrate gifteds use as an excuse to avoid being annoyed by the unfortunates who tell them the truth
Summary:
1.Dont machine hop
2.get a training plan
3.track youre workouts
4.dont ego lift
5.dont train like a 😺
6.genetics
7.exerice with good technic
8.be consistent and patient
9.sleep
10.consume more protein
Thank you brother❤

The hardest part of getting muscle is to sleep💀
eyo dont call me out
I am a natural when it comes to sleep procrastination.
This guy is just so chill when he talks. I don't even do weight lifting, I do other sports but I still watch your videos.
#7 and #8. Working on both. Newbie(ish) at 41. Life-long insomnia has always been a problem though. Luckily, it seems the more I workout, the less it's a problem.
Good stuff man, keep it going!
Same here just started smoking weed made my workouts way better, eat alot more and fall asleep faster
@@daddy8875 bro take care of yourself
If your so called "insomnia" began to disappear with working out then it wasnt insomnia in the first place you were just not active enough during the day that you werent tired enough to sleep on time. Although it is good that you're going to the gym and improving yourself, keep it up bro!
@@charisky0989 that fits the definition of what insomnia can be. Googling it says that all insomnia is a chronic inability to get proper, restful sleep. It can be caused by an inactive lifestyle
my dumb ahh watching this at 2 am
Watching it at 4 am 🥳
Same
Watching these videos in the wee hours of the morning could be the ember that eventually turns into a flame. Are y'all gonna chase it?
Eh?

No way
Your voice gives me joy
really glad your channel popped off , keep it up buddy
Mr winny, im glad that i do all the steps to get better and stronger.
Been loving your PPL training plan! I never had a good structure for my workouts and didn't know how to plan them and you've really helped me out. Cant wait for this channel to hit a million subs!
Congrats with your purchase, I just bought a full body workout from him and it's very useful, for some reason it helps me not to skip legs
Another video of the goat
keep going brother
Thanks man!
This guy is a pioneer for beginers
amazing content and animations!
what a great videos man keep grinding.
Love your videos, thank you so much for your content!!!!!!!
11. Dont feel bad if you didnt follow some of these rules already. Instead, be happy you followed some already and can now follow more of them to get fitter.
This man is the reason why i started my lifting journey
Hey winny, i've been doing the beginner guide video plan for a while now. What should I move on to after the 3-6 month window you mentioned? Is getting your full body plan the best option?
Well all of them thanks for the information
great video (it got uploaded 6 seconds ago and i havent fully watched it yet)

Protein is litterally impossible especially if your in a heavy calorie deficit and don’t have any money. You have to be rich to be sexy. That’s not gonna stop me tho imma find some money.
Nuts, eggs, chicken(if you can), canned tuna, i could go on and on it's not that hard to be a little creative. You'll be surprised how much protein some food actually has(lentlils, legumes, really i could go on forever)
Eggs are 30 cents an chicken 5 dollar
Sounds like you just don’t know how to shop right. I’ve been eating about 130g of protein a day to meet my goal all on about $60-$70/week on groceries; that’s meal prepping for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner for 5 days a week.
You can build muscle while in a deficit if you have enough fat. It's called body recomposition and it happens as long as you're eating SOME protein, not that 1g per lb bs that's physically and economically impossible. I lost 63kg and built some muscle in 3 years on a big deficit (average over 3 years of 600 calories per day, but it was 1000 during the first year). I only ate 1g of protein per kg of body weight :) I'm now eating 1.75g per kg of body weight, but it's basically the same amount as before, only the ratio increased because the body weight is way down. I'm still on a deficit of around 400-500 calories per day, but my muscles are visibly growing month after month, while I steadily add a rep or two or a couple kgs week after week.
Can I have your shopping list?
Glad to see i actually follow quite a few of these rules already.
Just created a spreadsheet to track my progress. Thanks!
As a beginner, I have already broke all of these besides ego lifting and genetics. Thanks for letting me know ahead of time and I will start to implement this stuff into my workouts.
I need to work on sleep, protein, technique, and intensity I think. At least, those are the four that jumped out and said “you’ve been doing shit wrong, change yourself”. So I think I’ll take a look at your links.
Thank you for getting straight to the point and educating me 👍
Thank u bro love you and your vids and you
#8 guilty of this for sure. Started the gym 6 months ago so i can loss weight (from 220lbs to 175). Now as a new year challenge i want to build muscle, even tho i know i've grow stronger cause im lifting twice the weight on some workoust. I just want to finally stop been skinny fat.
"comparison is the thief of joy"
Came here for workout tips and found therapy 😔 I needed to hear that
I always struggle to keep my protein up, and it always results from skipping meals, sometimes it feels like im clocking in for work just to get that next meal squeezed into my day 😅
Just started working out. Will definitely keep these in mind, especially the last few😂
Спасибо большое, приятель, нашла некоторые ошибки и у себя, буду исправляться 💪
I hate muscles
so do i, they keep growing, its insane
@@trainerwinny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@trainerwinnyCan you make video explaining why i have softer muscle and only visible when i flex those muscle.
creatine
@@dontworrythisisjustanalt I don't think so
Thanks you❤
I feel like I do sometimes slack off on leg day especially when working calves. I have noticed significant muscle growth in the past few months I’ve been training though. I also kinda do machine hopping but it’s always for specific body parts typically hopping between the same three machines. Like for chest and back I might start with pull-downs, go to the bench, then go to rows, then another chest exercise I don’t know the name of them just continue this cycle. Sometimes adding pull-ups and dumbbell press for some variation. I don’t know if this counts as machine hopping though
Not sleeping enough.
will you make bro-split training plan? i exercise about 6 times a week and none of current plans satisfy my program, so i'd consider a plan with 5 times a week workout and 1 extra day of cardio. I would say that my individual training is alright but i feel that a miss important parts in some workout days that could be covered by some specific plans
Your videos are so helpfull indidnt know how to grow my moucles intell i watched this video❤😊
sometimes it feels like everything i do is meaningless
Do you have any apps you recommend for tracking your progress?
I am guilty of not getting the proper sleep. I also need the protein as well. Now even though in 2024 of June I started my workout journey & seen some small growth but not by much but when I do push ups, I am able to hit around 34 push ups when I was only able to do at least 20 to 25 if I pushed harder. So I have not been doing things like sleeping like I should this month but still was able to make a little gain & I am still staying consistent to the workout everyday which might be why there are some small improvement but I need to do better to get my plan in order to succeed. Thanks for the tip as well.
I have been working out for 5 years now, started at the age of 14. For the first 4 years, I had no idea how to work out, what is planning ect, but I lost a lot of weight, because I was jogging a lot. For the past year and a few months, I have been building muscle pretty well, since I learnt how to with trial by fire, or how it's called. Anyways, wish your videos existed 5 years ago lol.
Same lol
#11 showing up consistently. I’d say the most important thing is to go to the gym frequently. In my first year and a half of going to the gym I only went an average of twice a week to gym and I would go weeks sometimes even a month off without going. Once I started going more frequently everything improved much more quickly
My top 6 reasons for building visible muscles and a broad structure in relative quick time (7-8 months):
1. Consist with a weekly plan; PPL rest PL rest. With no more than 3 Exercises per muscle group in a day (except for legs)
2. Pushing weights in 8-12 rep ranges with good form and upgrading weight if 3 sets of 11-12 were hit
3. Resting 1-2 mins between sets (not good for a pump but great for overall eventual growth)
4. Eating 5 times a day
5. Pushing myself every set to the point Im almost crying at the last rep of each set
And perhaps most importantly:
6. Working out alone. Dialed in. no thoughts just work. If you can think straight after a workout, you didn't do it right
Could you clarify on "machine hopping"? Let's say I did the full beginner workout as you recommended and then did 3 sets on most of the machines on top.
You can still see results if you use those same machines consistently
My only 2 mistakes were 1: Bad technique, since im still a starter, i have like 2 months of experience i dont have the best form for every excercise, and 2: comparing myself to others. Though i am slowly learning to focus ONLY on MYSELF and not others and push myself to my limits with each set and rep.
I'm 15 years old and i go to the gym 3 times a week, and I'm cutting (I'm 84kg now and my goal is to burn fat and get to at least 70kg) and after my workouts, I would use the cycling machine for 35 mins for my cardio. Do you guys reckon I cycle outside gym sessions? I have been trying to eat in a deficit and its still in progress. But I mainly try to do as much cardio as I can but sometimes I get too tired to do anything after school, especially after gym sessions.
What should I do to try and burn fat?
he has da strong man accent so i trust his every word
I have a doubt. What does protein do? I recently started training and im new to this world, thanks for your consideration
Please add a video on how to measure your progress.
i love your videoes so much but idk what to eat can you tell what food should i eat during building muscle?
for protein: chicken, beef, turky, eggs etc
For carbs: potatoes, veggies, rice, bread (but there are some that can be better then others) etc
Fat: Milk, cheese, peanut butter, nuts, avocados etc
These are just some of the foods that helped me out while building muscle. Keep trying different things and see what works 😉
What’s a good amount of protein someone who is 170lbs should be consuming?
trainer winny i love you
hi, winny can you please reply to me I want to know that is doing full body workouts with dumbells at home everday okay or should I target specific muscles everyday?
I’ve been going to the gym a bit over a year and I almost always train to failure and been seeing a lot of change I know you can overtrain but I doubt I’m doing that. Not ones have I tracked my progress only lightly in my head and I eat whatever I see (cuz I started off skinny) but yea maybe this vid will come in handy when I reach a plateau.
What does failure exactly mean? Like thinking “oh gosh I’m gonna drop that bar in a second…”? Like dangerously lifting or what ?
@@pugonato yes until I can’t go anymore
I’m guilty of machine hopping and no training plan. I only have muscle definition in my biceps, shoulders, and little calves. Since calf raises focus on definition not getting bigger muscle.
currently im tryna cut but not lose my muscles too, so im doing some kettlebell swings and a strength circuit to keep me up to shape, any tips gym lads?
Making an exercise of self criticism, I'm committing every mistake in this video. I need to check myself for this stuff consistently, and the gains will come!
I have pain in my knees and drs say it’s because of a weak butt but I keeping doing but excercise and they keep hurting so what do I do now?
How do you calculate how much protein you should be eating?
Eating 2 Grams per bodyweight of protein is so tough. One Day is easy but somewhat difficult to achieve this everyday as a hobby athlete, so don´t get discouraged, most ppl do still progress in a range of 1-2 grams.
For myself i had the opposite problem of Number 5 -> i thought muscle failure is necessary (and imo more fun) until i discovered the concept of RIR, honestly gotta say feels kinda good not to be godless fucked up after *every* gym session, haha
yeah, chronic insomnia is always my problem since college because of my major. For the last 3 years I gained 6 lbs. of muscle but I'm pretty sure if I had good sleep, my growth would be more than that.
#9, school an studying on top of exercising to stay healthy and look good ends up with getting little to no sleep half the time. Working on how to maximize my time so that I actually can feel like going to sleep early and not wasting any time by doing so.
Hi, lately I found myself to fail on exercises at about 3 or 4 reps from the goal I setted is it Normal? Because I could do it very easily at the beginning of the week
I am guilty of having bad genetics 😢
Nothing matters dude
I got a question, u said dont do 3 sets and do another machine right? Then what should i do? Because my coach taught me to do 8-12 reps 3 sets per machine
How much protein do I need to consume on a bulk a day if want to build muscle? (I’m 15)
im confused about the machine hopping one, because my trainer gave me a plan to follow where Im supposed to hop between 5 machines, 2 are focused on legs, 2 on the back and 1 on the chest. I only recently started going to the gym btw
Sir, I have a question. How can I determine which program, whether it's ppl, full body, or upper-lower, is the best fit for me?
I am considering purchasing the program after figuring out which one is the best fit for me.
(I apologize for my poor English. English is not my native language.)
if i were you, i would go for the one that you enjoy the most, thats the most important factor in my opinion, they all offer a wide variety of different set ups, so the choice is all about what you like doing the most, if you like training full body - then go for full body, if you like to split your workouts into upper and lower workouts - then the upper lower is the choice, and if you enjoy the style of push pull legs, then you go for that one. Thank you, if you decide to purchase any of these, and good luck on your bodybuilding journey!
@@trainerwinny Thank you, sir. I'm going to buy push pull legs program. :)
@@R.I.P_Toriyama Thank you, and enjoy!
@@trainerwinny I am also considering buying the PPL program. If I may ask though, what makes the purchasable program different from the free program which you made in your PPL video?
Hello so for the first one youre saying we shouldnt use the machines that are there at the gym? Like at all?
A friend and i has been going to the gym 3 times every week for the past 1.5 year. We follow a strict workout plan (Push/Pull/Leg). I have definitely been getting some kind of gains, cause i can lift way more than what I could before, but it somehow feels like i'm not getting anywhere.
Could you explain more about number 1? I primarily use machines at my gym but use challenging amounts of weight for myself. Are machines not good for building muscle?
Machines are fine. With machine hopping he means meanlessly switching your exercises around every time. An example would be:
Barbell chest press 1 set with 50kg, do a few reps there, meh, I don't like doing this, I'll go do T-bar rows (?) with 75kg 2 reps, holy crap I broke my back I'll do some calf raises now.
It kind of ties into not having a workout plan but taken to the extreme. You basically go to the gym, wander around and go home.
@@alexg9155 ahh yeah that makes sense. I appreciate the explanation 👍🏻
after a month I saw progress on biceps triceps. I already added 10kg to one workout, and 10 to the others aswell, so there is improvement but what I've realised is that I don't really sweat but feel wxhausted and feel the muscle so might it be natural if i just dont sweat as others or is it purely because of bad form?
yoo can you elaborate on the machine hopping?
cuz i use different machines but it correlates to my program so im not really sure if what im doing is right or wrong
Muscles cant tell the difference between machines and weight, as long the movement and the weight is the same(bench press and push ups have the same movement), results will also be the same
How many sets should I do if 3 or 4 is not enough?
I compare my self to others sometimes and its motivating when ur stronger then em but not if its the opposite
Sir plz guide i train 6 times a week Monday to Sunday and Friday is off in my country which program is best for me if i follow ppl how can i focus on my biceps and forearms its my week part plz guide thanks 😊
Follow PPL
Push : Chest shoulder Triceps
Pull : Back Biceps
Legs : Legs along with core
I’m def not getting enough protein. But it’s so hard when on a cut. I have shakes with water, eggs (which I will swap to egg whites only) every day, lunches usually consist of chicken breasts or low fat ground beef and some kind of low calorie fuller like salads but according to my tracker I’m only at 146g for the day when I weight 190lbs
It's not that low, bro, but it is on the recommended rates lower end. Just don't mind increasing a couple of calories to get your protein, it would be better.
not having a plan, not tracking my workout and calories, not having patience and not getting sleep
im doing every thing in the list, but im not sure about the protein and muscle measureess
0:52 or just go and train to failure harder than last time always making sure you are hitting every muscle at least 2x a week
Can you make video explaining why i have softer muscle and only visible when i flex those muscle.
Dude i love the art 😂
I’ve been working out since I turned 12 I’m 13 and a half now and I stopped gaining a lot of progress in the last half a year or so I’m working out and taking a rest day once a week I have a four day split and everything what am I doing wrong?
I am Persian and i love your voice brother
I came gere just in case i got stuck become mh biceps are riped up rught now and are repairing m, but they feel amazing and im seeing change switching from 15s by goung faster than a 30 pund dumbell by going slow with controll
Want to start back up on working out. However, I now work 6 days a week, with little free time left. Would 30-45 minutes a day, and 5-6 hours of sleep be good enough for gains?
So for me being in the Navy, I try to get enough sleep but it’s a bit hard but after watching this it’s very clear it’s more important
I feel like another thing I don’t do is track cause usually in my head I remember what I did the last workout so I’m like ok today I’ll do this instead..but I can see how that’s not effect..this will require a journal time to find one.
What is “Machine Hoping”?

Hello, I have a question, how can I find a good split that I like ? I train 3-4 times a week doing an Upper/lower split, a friend told me to try PPL next, but I don't really want to go to the gym 6 times per week. Can I do PPL and Upper/lower combined so i just workout 5 times a week ? I saw people that said that even only 4 days was the best way to train. What do you think?
you cannfo push pull legs cardio, or ppl 1 day off and whole body
Well, you find the training split that you like, by trying out different ones until you like one. You can try PPL + UL, 3 + 2, thats a thing that some people do. Or you can look into my programs on my website, where i offer multiple day variations :P bodybuildingsimplified.com/
(what a nice shameless plug, isnt it?)
@reepold thank you!!

Bro i been doing genetics wrong all this time dam
help i dont do any but i have anemia and low iron and im trying to get rid of it
I do evrything wrong thanks for your video i change this :DDD
I want to increase strength and not muscle (of course if I increase muscle that’s fine) but I’m a fighter so the body building body type isn’t good for me any advice?
But how much protein should you have?
Hey anyone know how to help with machine hoping i dont really know how i can fix it
Find a program and do it
@trainerwinny I'm a complete beginner i have no idea how much weight I should be lifting to stimulate muscle growth, also I hear alot of people saying i should be training till failure in 1 or two of my sets to stimulate muscle growth.
P.S. love you winny you are my new favorite fitfluenser
Hey, just start with a weight u know that you can use easily and learn the proper technique first, then you can start worrying about training to failure and all that stuff. As you get more comfortable with the technique, you can then increase the weight more and more
@@trainerwinny thanks so much
I dont track my workouts i just focos on a specific muscle group each time i lift and ive been seeing results
