Alex. This is seriously one of your most powerful videos. I keep coming back to it.
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 💪
Fuk yes man, this is motivation
@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?
that's awesome man!
@Pablo Lotta - Thank you, mate! 🙌
Wait you got green light to train but youre disabled " now" so you have nothing to do but research about training?
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
This is why training obsessed people often can't hold relationships, or put another way they have a better time alone.
bittersweet
Deep
I was dead lifting today and a fucking fly flew into my mouth.
Intra-workout protein.
Flies are high in protein
Lmao
Haha that's Australia for you
I accidentally read "obsessed with gays" in the title. That's only why I clicked so fast.
Same bro.
these are the best kind of videos you make
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.
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
Low carb is pointless unless your obese
@@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.
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
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!
I dig it!
I feel like this was Mike tyson back in his prime, you could see he had a different mindset to his opponents
Very true
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.
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
You not just all muscles and no brains. Great talk and very smart guy
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
Cool
The physics behind the frog I’m crying 🤣
Natty O'hearn FTW
Mike O'Tren
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.
Saying “obsessed” kinda gives it a negative connotation. I get what you’re saying, but I think determined, unrelenting, or passionate fits more. Personally, I used to let fitness take over my passion for art, but I’ve since been working on balancing the two. When done properly, fitness enhances life, it does not steal from it.
Nicely phrased
Exactly this, for far too many people it becomes an obsession and it overtakes all other hobbies and pastimes
AlphaDestiny it’s something I picked up from Steve Shaw
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
The neck size is coming back man !
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES GOD DAMN! -my favorite natty
Keep posting man...You are a true source of inspiration for me !!!
You inspire and motivate a lot of people including myself. Great video, man!
This one hit on so many levels
I needed to hear this man. Thanks
U opened my eyes. Thanks for this video really gave me tons of motivation for future
Hell yeah, I needed to hear this shit bro. Been getting discouraged lately with the gains
This is so on point. Do not settle for other's limits, they want you to be mediocre. Think outside the box.
close grip bench got my arms massive. interesting how each body reacts to training differently.
Yeah i got much stronger by doing close grip bench
im talking just size, strength gain was great aswell
@@WilddEye My bench went up 25 pounds in 1 month not even kidding😂
@@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 needed this video today. Thanks dude. Watching change in your physique and attitude is inspiring. Keep growing mate in every field
The best videos of alex amazing motivation
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 )
If you're not on roids and people are telling you that you are then you're doing something right.
I know:D im not on roids and i will never be.Gym is my religion
@@radupipas1747 👍
What kind of program are you running?
@@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
i want huge arms so im gonna do the 8hr arm workout, thanks alex.
ok
haha hope you're kidding
I’m proud of you! 🥰🥰🥰
TO BE THE BEST, YOU MUST BE OBSESSED!
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.
Just found your channel, love this. Subbed
Dope video amazing motivation 💪
The power of mindset 🙏
Thank you Alex... OG subscriber here.... I am a next level Torso Dominant... Going for full bro arm workouts.... I ll share my results next month...
This is the truth. I’ve been maintaining for years just bc I’ve refused to be obsessed. 2 days ago I decided to just do what tf it takes.
I do have to say you give awesome positive gym talks.
Keep up the work man!
Edit: Yay!
fuck me man, my thoughts perfectly articulated into a video! More gains, health, success and power to you Alex and everyone else out here!
I really like this particular delivery Alex. It's probing and at the same time laid back and it makes one think.
Ur right I’m 2 years in and I’m loosing my drive that doesn’t bother me tho I’m very happy with my physique and I stand out already so honestly even tho I will never reach my natty potential I’m ok with that. I’m way past novice numbers and I look good so Amma chill but good message
This video is fucking amazing man
2:50 “in my view, contradiction is a part of change”. Alpha Destiny confirmed Hegelian
Ahahahahaah this one killed me even tho so few people will understand it
Thx Alex you help me a lot in my Life passion is key
Great video bro!
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
Right babe?
Awesome video man
Go the gym 5 AM crew!!
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.
I'm 7 months into lifting and I find myself in this state of mind. FeelsGoodMan
Just clicked...already loving the video
100% true we just have to find the balance in life.
Blessed and Obsessed
forsenCD Clap
I needed to hear this....i have recently hit a wall in my training I feel like I'm not making progression
You'll never get criticized by people doing more than you
Grant cardone
Red Pill Vegan 😮 great quote bro
@@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. He spends all day on Twitter. I'm out working a real job, making some videos on the side, having a social life... Dude trolled thru my comments and was going at my viewers lol!
@@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
This is the part 2 to my "Serious Lifters video" ua-cam.com/video/SCH2PVMpxa8/v-deo.html&t
Enjoy, and give me your feedback down below.
Nah, the gym metaphor is the truth.
thanks, dad!
Commitment > passion
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...
ELlTE lmao get big again small man... hope that helps
Oh yeah! Let's get it!
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 :)
It’s so much easier to be obsessive when u got home gym. Don’t need to waste time driving/getting dressed
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!!!
brooks beyerlein Arnold said later he said that for the movie and it's not true
Only thing better than nutting is taking a shit my friend
Looking Swole Alex 💪
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.
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
All facts here
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)
Always there to motivate me alex?!
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 :|
Will do Wavey.
Alex bro your forearms in that pic look amazing and proportional to your arm
I am obsessed with my broad jump, always thinking about it, running well tested programs, but my gains are really slow.
More full body workouts
This inspired me
hey guys 1 and 1/4 reps the way Steve Cook does them do you think they are good?
hey man id really like your opinion on this, using a bench program for ohp? ive seen lots off peaking programs 8-10 weeks and then smaller ones 4-6 that look like they could do the same to the press as they would to the flat bench? i really want to try it out, but curious of your opinion?
Goosebumps
*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.*
Well said.
I see what you're saying, but not everything is so black and white. See 3:44 onward
@@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.
Hey Alex. Would adding lateral raises to your novice program for that sweet v taper interfere with the exercises that include the shoulder? (recovery and such). If not, what rep range and amount of sets would you recommend?
Should be fine. Try the classic 3x8-12
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 ;)
Are you back on bulking?
ITS DA MINDSEEEEEEETTTTTTT 😤😤😤😤😤
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.
Yes you can do that
AlphaDestiny thanks champ
Your wasted on UA-cam. You are a great raconteur. You have my full attention when you speak. Keep up the great videos. They are excellent 👍
More gym videos please.
Got some awesome sessions on the way. Nearing the end of the PROM phase, then there will be fun stuff ;)
Coo, but the question is how to get obsessed about something!
Do you listen to periphery, Alex? If not, check out blood eagle - It slaps.
mad fucking song
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
Alex needs to skip forearm day!!
Quick question.. on what *Weight Range* should i expect to have decently big forearms on Wrist Curls? I also do heavy farmers walk, deadlifts, amd bentover rows
Are you talking about strength standards, or percentages/sets-reps?
Strength standards on Dumbell Wrist Curls
Its my magnificent obsession!
Hey Alex, weight training is my secondary goal(after armwrestling) but i would like to build strength in compound upper body movements while staying lean- do you still recommend kinobody programs for that?
If you want, sure. Many programs work for that general goal.
Miloš Milovanović I have table sessions on Thursdays, and run 5x5 novice program on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Sometimes the pain will get too bad and I’ll move the Friday gym session to Saturday, I recommend Animal Flex as trust me doing this raw is very difficult, tiring and painful (as well as straining on the joints)...
yup but those peopel are frequently getting on drugs telling you as that guy how start using them
