Bro.. Some real talk here: 6.5 years ago I was in an almost fatal car crash. I was in a coma for a month, and had to go rehab for 2 fucking years straight. About 1 year into my rehab, I got green light from the doctors to go to the gym again (I had been training for 4 years prior to the accident) And well, let me tell you this: because I’m disabled now, I have nothing else to do but educate myself on the topic of hypertrophy, eat, sleep, train, repeat. Doctors can’t believe their eyes when they see me now; I had 0,00001% chance of surviving, and well, I did. And I came back stronger 💪
@frank martinez - Happy to read that, man! I’m thinking about making my own website/channel where I tell my story and show my progressn, to motivate people. Because heck, if I can do it while I’m disabled, then why wouldn’t you? What’s your excuse?
Ive been obsessed with gaining size for the past 4 years, I'll never forget playing football in 8th grade at 106 lbs and not being a starter, from that day on I told myself I'll never let that happen again and I'm going to play college football, ever since then the drive in me has never died, I ended up finishing my senior year of football at 215 lbs and being an all new York state player and Now have an opportunity to play college football for a great program, I'm thankful for my obsession this video is spot on
also when i was obsessed when i first began lifting, i remember the gain coming fast. Now that im injured with a wrist fracture and got 1 week till i can train, i remember 2 months ago when i was training i wasnt obsessed, didnt give it my all, and that is when the gains slowed down. Im gonna become obsessed again and make me all kinds of gains. Cant wait to get back in the gym.
See Alex says everything that I think in my head I just can’t put it into words, and it’s so nice to hear it from someone else’s mouth everything he says hits the nail on the head and that shit is so dope ! Good looks Alex keep it up you motivate all of us
I m obsessed with increasing my deadlift number, it's working pretty fine. I started from 130kg PR( never deadlifted before in my life) then reached 205kg PR in less than a year, total obsession and working a lot of accessory excercises, but it came at a price of neglecting the other lifts. Now i m cutting, very low on carbs and energy, intermittent fasting etc.. still as obsessed by deadlift, i m stuck at 190kg PR until i start bulking again i guess? well, i hope someone will find it somehow useful to read haha, good luck ya all guys
@@adult2370 not obese but i went through a very unhealthy dirty bulking, at a point where i had to stop it and take a step back, i still have extra fat around my waist so i m struggling to remove it right now
@@adult2370 that's not true. Low carb/ no carb is helpful for anyone trying to lose weight. Having low blood sugar constantly makes it easier for the body to burn fat (ketosis). Of course it's even more helpful if you're obese since you have a lot more fat to lose
Ahmet Berkay Han being in a state of ketosis for longer than 2 weeks is not healthy. Its a state of starvation and is toxic. You cab easily have low blood sugar on a high carb diet with lots of fibre.
This video released at the perfect time, i’m 19 and was always under 120 lbs always super skinny two years ago I took the gym really seriously and started getting stronger and test out different styles of training now at 5’5 150lbs I am at a pretty good strength and size level but I know i’m no where near my potential but I became so comfortable at the place i’m at but deep down I want to be better, Thanks Alex
I became obsessed at an early age. 16 years old. My brother showed me the gym, showed me a few bro splits. I felt my first pump. My whole life changed. 24 years old now, I’ve bulked me cut many times. I come across average people at work who complain that they don’t have the “motivation” to workout. I feel they are missing out on a piece of humanity if they don’t take up some form of exercise.
I’m in that obsessed state currently, mainly with growing my delts. I’ve been doing 12+ sets of lateral raises and variations 2-3 times per week. My shoulders have never been this big!
it all started with soccer. Day and night, it was all in my mind. Sometimes I just couldn't sleep because all I wanted to do was touch a ball. I'd go out in my backyard below 10-20 degrees at 3 am. I didn't have to think about training, it was the same as wanting to eat, or to sleep. I can regard that as an obsession, something that never left my mind even when I stopped playing.
I went from 110lbs to 150lbs in space of 6 months. Yeah most of it was fat, but i was obsessed, so obsessed that i wouldn't sleep till i ate my caloric goal for the day. I lost that hunger, not hitting the gym as hard as i used to which resulted in losing 15lbs. Thankfully, my hunger is now back again and i'm going to target my neck area this time... 18INCH NECK HERE I COME.
This is a very old comment but it inspired me. I went from 110 to 130 and that took me a year. My goal is 150 by the end of the year and 170 as a long term goal. It’s difficult as a short guy but it’s going to be worth it in the end
nobody will outwork The Living Natural Legend Mike "Titan" O'Hearn. His research into the anabolic properties of duck eggs and the physics behind The Frog have revolutionised the fitness industry. not just natty, lifetime natty btw
What do you think about the PITT FORCE method? Its invented by a german dude therefore you wont find anything on english but its simple: do as much clean reps as you can, then rest a short time (1-15sec) and do another clean rep, repeat until you reached your rep goal. You only do 1set. I like the idea bc i always had problems with rest timing on my sets and getting the progression a novice like me would normally have. With the PITT FORCE method its easier to reach my daily rep goal because of the rest time between every rep. Also the psychological aspect is beneficial for me, to know i dont have 4 more sets ahead is motivating me to give 100% on every single rep. Im also faster done with my workouts.
@@limitbreaker_rb Raised legs push ups rep until failure and do as many sets untill you can't even do 5 push ups without a struggle, this will push your bench to another level
I got back on it lately. Last few years nutrition and training just been slacking but got my motivation back. Focusing on arms 3 heavy sessions a week and eating mostly bro like when I started lifting. Gains are definitely coming back. Felt like I barely been maintaining until now
I'm really obsessed about muscle gains;i've got a lot of muscles,everybody is telling me that i'm on roids,but i sacrifice a lot to keep and evolve this phisique;in other facts,i just can't go out with friends,because i'm obsessed with drinking enough whater,eating a lot of quality food every 2-3 hours,and i dont enjoy anymore partyes or thing like that,because my heart and my brain are always to the gym,there is the only place where i fell good anymore,im obsessed about gym,6/7 to gym,and into that rest day,i just watch videos with bodybuilders and motivational things for the next week.Cheers!(with a protein shake :D )
@@casgroentjes3265 brosplit,(12 sets for biceps,12 for triceps,16 for shoulders,18chest,20 for back and 16 for legs..every set i perform till failure,last set per exercise dropset

@@brunogama8255 it's true dude. The only time I got criticized by a bigger UA-camr, who I criticized in a video, it turns out that dude is solely a social media agent, he is literally paid by a fast-food industry mogul to influence people on social media.

@@brunogama8255 I went at Ken Berry MD and his response was literally "great video!" On one of them... Because dude is just doing more. He has a real medical practice. You think that dude has time to criticize his detractors when he runs a real medical practice and publishes videos that get 10 and 20 thousand views in the first couple hours lol
Last year I was so much bigger than I am now (I’m 17, 145 pounds). I was 165 pounds last year and was SO obsessed with lifting. I loved lifting. I don’t know where it all went...
I remember 2017, watching you for true inspiration... I didn't even use a bar, I used a backpack to do curls and squats pull ups and dips; was not enough for legs tho.
*That’s how we end up having bigorexias and self image issues. Guys, we are in it for the long run, for the health. Screw gains if mental sharpness is in shambles.*
@@AlexLeonidas Maybe obsession is a wrong word choice then? Internalised dedication. I agree that lifting philosophy projects onto other aspects of your life, it fosters your character. Obsession means a blind mind, whereas I am all for strategic and careful structuring of my goals.
it’s a mindset that isn’t sustainable but can be very useful... I’ve never invested 12 hours a day into something where i did not succeed in that endeavor
Please make a video about rest days and deloads ect, I've been obsessed with going to the gym every single day for the past 2.8 years now, I know taking a few days off every month or so will benefit me but i just cant go a day without going to the gym and workout out Edit: p.s I got this mentality from a long time natty lifter who said these words " I dont plan days off because eventually life will force me to take days off and I use those as rest" and it really stuck to me, but my life forces me to take a day off like once a month :|
gotta make sure to find the optimal balance between getting obsessed with things and paying enough attention to other areas so they don't regress too much though. eg recently i focused on human flag, training it at the beginning of practically every session, and i achieved it, but my other lifts/moves declined. i probably would've been better off training it at the beginning of only every 2/3 sessions or something - it would've taken a bit longer to achieve it, but i also would've lost less or no strength in other areas.
I’m the same way man. Working out is my obsession. I love it....I love it so much. Arnold said that working out is like busting a nut and I have to agree. I love health and fitness man. You’ve helped me so much here recently especially in my bench. The first video I saw from you was how to fix you uneven traps and ever since then I’ve been subscribed. You help me stay motivated through seeing you constantly working on your weak points. Seeing you do this has inspired me to do the same and make myself a better lifter. Thanks Alex keep putting out awesome content like you’ve been doing. Hopefully one day we can get a workout in!!!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 stay swole and yoked!!!
Love the video Alex, what’d you think about trying to learn advanced calisthenics skills like planche etc while doing yolk training? I’m struggling to programme all these things because I don’t want to neglect cardio either Thanks bro long time viewer and owner of naturally enhanced :)
Hey Alex, quick yes/no, can I throw my abs, lower back, and calf exercises on my “mini workouts” where I will also be doing my neck workout, connective tissue work and GPP? Because I feel exhausted doing them at the end of volume or intensity workouts, especially volume.
Like i said many times im obsessed with getting stronger im competitive as fuck and I can't think anything else exept from lifting i see dreams me being a freak and lifting all kinds of wheights but im crap with the shitiest Genetics that even girls are stronger i rather never started lifting but I can't even stop im so sick with getting stronger. And i have thought if i would born freak i would take gear 100% this is how much i wanted but I'm not strong even if it's the only thing i live for
You need some volume to optimise your muscle growth. Just doing heavy weights won't cut it. Try following a good novice program for a few months, I'm sure you'll grow.
Hey Alex, I’m sorry to ask you a second question in succession, but are the differences between a reverse band bench with doubled lights vs reverse band bench with doubled minis enough to override the law of biological accommodation? Just trying to up my bench variation count. Thx
Hey Justin the change of band tension will override the biological law of accommodation. That said, I would not double the bands if doing reverse style as it will assist far too much. I'd also recommend doubling bands from the bottom, as opposed to reverse band. This should give you better carryover.
I think they are OK but better than all in this case would be lunges done with dumbbell (to build legs): short pace to build inner leg, long pace to build glutes hams and outer leg. Btb dl will heavily hit the back, but only lightly hit the inner leg. Inner leg = tear drop Another alternative is Jefferson deadlift done with dorso perpendiculare to the ground. Up and down up and down and you will hit outer legs and inner leg plus lateral core and lats Check out my program if you want, it is meant for bodybuilding purpose and legs are well hit
Alex: question for your Q&A video: I want to increase my Z-press strength using Progressive range of motion over a period of 4 weeks, starting from high pin, and gradually bring the pins down till im pushing from my chest at the end of 4 weeks, Should I even do this, and what set/reps should I use? (PS: Following N.E program structure)
I was obsessed with bodyweight and did it all muscle ups all kinds of pushups and pull ups then got tired doing weights now. I gotta get naturally enhanced book ✔
Alex. This is seriously one of your most powerful videos. I keep coming back to it.
Be obsessed or be average.

And i have thought if i would born freak i would take gear 100% this is how much i wanted but I'm not strong even if it's the only thing i live for
You need some volume to optimise your muscle growth. Just doing heavy weights won't cut it.
Try following a good novice program for a few months, I'm sure you'll grow.
@@furblz38 im not a novice i have a 315 bench
@@furblz38 i know what im doing the point was different
hey guys 1 and 1/4 reps the way Steve Cook does them do you think they are good?
Hey Alex, I’m sorry to ask you a second question in succession, but are the differences between a reverse band bench with doubled lights vs reverse band bench with doubled minis enough to override the law of biological accommodation? Just trying to up my bench variation count. Thx
Hey Justin the change of band tension will override the biological law of accommodation. That said, I would not double the bands if doing reverse style as it will assist far too much. I'd also recommend doubling bands from the bottom, as opposed to reverse band. This should give you better carryover.
Thank you Alex! God bless ya man
Behind the back deadlift good if I have lower back issues? Also, can i build really big quads with them?
I'd suggest trapbar deadlifts
@@ShaamVM But my gym doesn`t have a trap bar
Oliver Queen I know it’s not the greatest advice but I’d find a gym with a trap bar because they’re really good
I think they are OK but better than all in this case would be lunges done with dumbbell (to build legs): short pace to build inner leg, long pace to build glutes hams and outer leg.
Btb dl will heavily hit the back, but only lightly hit the inner leg.
Inner leg = tear drop
Another alternative is Jefferson deadlift done with dorso perpendiculare to the ground. Up and down up and down and you will hit outer legs and inner leg plus lateral core and lats
Check out my program if you want, it is meant for bodybuilding purpose and legs are well hit
Yes
Alex: question for your Q&A video: I want to increase my Z-press strength using Progressive range of motion over a period of 4 weeks, starting from high pin, and gradually bring the pins down till im pushing from my chest at the end of 4 weeks, Should I even do this, and what set/reps should I use? (PS: Following N.E program structure)
yo alex how the hell did my squat go up from 140 to 160 kg after 2 months of cutting and losing 4kg of fat? while doing really high volume PPL split?
Its the TREN bro
You only lost 0,5 kg a week which is very good, if you lost 4 kg in 2 weeks, your squat wouldnt have gone up
Because training isn't pure mathematics, there are hundreds of other factors as well
Did u watch the Arnold strongman today? I was hoping thor would break the deadlift record
Okay papas
ok
I was obsessed with bodyweight and did it all muscle ups all kinds of pushups and pull ups then got tired doing weights now. I gotta get naturally enhanced book ✔
Try weighted calisthenics bro,wont regret it ;)
