I just got mine done; I am at 17% body fat-- way better then the 32% I used to be last year! you're an inspiration Will and love the videos!
Unreal job man! Love hearing that stuff. Keep working hard bro 💪🏼
Amazing 💖
that’s awsome bro
Thats awsome, great work!!
Awesome!
If Will is 8.5% then I'm 15%. Good enough! Time for cheeseburgers
And I’m 6
Usually more veins are present at 8%. But Will is as honest as it comes as fitness UA-camrs go. Maybe he needs a DexaScan.
He's between 15-17% rn based on the eye test. 8% is beach/magazine lean
@@EA-ps4wc more like 12-14%
@@EA-ps4wc more like 12ish, but yeah, def not 8
I am from Germany but live in London. I actually met Helmut. We talked a bit and the only thing he told me is to reduce sugar and don't eat anything with sugar. He looks so shredded. He can also do a split. Very impressive considering he is in his 50's.
That makes a lot of sense.
Sugar is poison
@@Moi_81 No it doesn't? Avoiding refined sugars is good, but sugar is a type of carbohydrate, something your body definitely needs. The fact that Helmut is from the UK doesn't really support his natural status either, as it is a lot easier to get them there and not illegal to own or use them. He might look lean, but he is juicier than a fat piece of wagyu steak.
@@awdwadawda352 i think they meant if you eat ALOT of sugar
@@Lalaland-and-lululand OP literally says: To reduce sugar and don't eat anything with sugar. You could literally only eat carbs/sugar, as long as you stay within what your body needs.
The editing has gone up leaps and bounds in the past couple years Will, your humor is on point as always as well!
there's no way that fella eats a whole ass chicken every morning
He probably meant one chicken breast
Bruh I was thinking that's absolutely ridiculous
would be lovely tho
jUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T, DOESN'T MEAN OTHERS CAN'T EITHEER.
@@jway9097 u don't get the point douche, we not saying it's impossible but just imagine trying to chow a whole chicken soon after waking up like wtf😭😂
Fun story, I used to train at the same London gym as this dude - he saw me get a 200kg DL one day and went "Oh there's another 10kg there easily", and I put it on and lifted it. Lovely guy, props to Helmut
Was that Fitness First on Tottenham Ct Rd? I used to see him when I trained there.
Me too
Oxford Circus
Where's he at now?
He seems very quiet.
You have to factor in his tall height to truly appreciate his size.
i used to see him at fitness first bake street and Tottenham court road one as well
Will is one of the reasons why I started lifting and watching what I eat. Thanks man!
Is inspiring to always listen to you on how you guide people on body building and healt all at the same time. Love your good work
I maintained a 5% body fat for 6 months post show. I was so lean it was painful to walk due to having literally no fat on the soles of my feet, I was having vision problems and was fucking freezing 24/7. I ended up with an eating disorder that took over two years to get through. This barely scratches the surface. You do NOT want to be shredded and certainly not for long.
Thanks for posting this. A lot of us want to be at this %5 point but not most of us know cons about it.
@@punpun3257 contest prep creates a ton of body image problems. I had never looked this "good" before and I failed to educate myself on the ramifications of being so lean until it was already too late
How did you fixed it ?
@@Paraclef just eat more healthy fats I'm guessing
For me it's the opposite, feeling way better and more energized at 5%
“Would you rather be happy or would you rather be shredded?”
This is one of the best ways I’ve heard how bad being shredded is. I got down to 7% for 4 years and I never want to be that lean again. I was hangry constantly. I’d have to eat mid workout some days.
For 4 years??
Jheeeeeeeez, that’s nuts, I stayed at that over this last summer and I felt like pure ass the whole time, not hungry but just mega tired and crap
@@matthewadams4452 yeah I did rowing wrestling, and tennis in highschool during that stretch and my family naturally has high metabolisms. As soon as I stopped them I felt so much better. I didn’t even know any different I just thought feeling that hungry all the time was part of puberty.
Same!
@@rikmcdik6662 i'm at 11% from 17 and it's hard i can't imagine how hard it's at 7%
@@Ivan-lo1mu the 10-15% range is ideal if you ask me. Anything below that is just miserable, even for somebody like I was that just had a ridiculous metabolism and did a ton of cardio and calisthenics for my sports
I absolutely love your videos. They are so fun and informative. I especially love the videos where you challenge people. You're awesome. Thank you
First time watching your videos Will, I must say a really enjoyed it, tons of info wrapped in with a great sense of humor while keeping the focus of the subject, Great Work!
For someone who isn't even 30 yet Will has a really impressive amount of maturity and perspective. Its especially impressive that he manages to keep that outlook while being in the industry that he's in.
What, he’s just acting like a normal person. He’s going to be 28
Totally true man. He’s extremely self-aware.
@@willwright9317 self aware?
Derek at moreplatesmoredates is extremely mature for at the same age range
Bro what. He's a fully grown adult lmao. Why do you expect him to act like a 12 year old.
You inspired me to lose weight during the lockdown in 2020 which led to a near 30kg loss in fat and gaining much in muscle... Thank you for making fitness fun ❤️
Dude you say this on every video
@@akblamn187 on who's every video? This is the first time I've commented on this channel 🤷🏽♂️ and I'm almost certain I havent commented this anywhere else
Even if I have, its possible to be inspired by more than one person you know
Thats awsome!!
Amazing job! Thank you for watching 😊
@@akblamn187 Even if they did, so what? There's nothing wrong with being proud of their achievement.
You're jokes are SO on point! 🤣 Love the video and your sense of humor 🔥
12:18 loved the little sneak peek into Will’s family. Having been born in 🇮🇳 and living in the 🇺🇸 I miss my Grandma’s food!
Yeah that was interesting. I always thought there was something to Will’s look that he didn’t look like a 100% generic white guy… now I know why, and it makes a lot of sense!
I think Will's inaccurate bf percentage reading has to do with the fact that he was bloated. Drinking lots of water before a bodyfat test lowers the reading since by holding extra water you're technically gaining lean mass. I think Will is about 13-14% in actuality.
Makes perfect sense
18+ definitely 👍 would give leg to shop 😂 that's is over that 🥂
Also carbohydrates make you bloated
And steroids
and you are saying he drank a lot of water?
That 5’11” hits home hard. You can be 6ft if you want, Will. You have our support
Why does he care if we know his height?
@@taoist32 you missed the joke bro

@@maxmacraft6614 That’s alright.
I laughed way too hard at "he probably needs carbs to get him through his nightmares"

if will is 8% then im 5% lmao
@@maybeoptify Im the same as Ronnie Coleman at 0.33% 😂

Nothing better than having Will upload at the right time when you're scrolling through UA-cam not knowing what to watch😍
Even better when you searching for a video when youre eating

I’m Just a young mexican stoner tryna make it out the hood by smoking weed on my UA-cam channel💯💯
For me it's when he uploads and I'm just about to go to the gym soon.
maybe don't watch anything and so something productive
Man this was like a comedy special, you had me laughing out loud the entire time.
Love your videos man 👍🏽
Dude you’re one of the only fitness UA-camrs I trust man, you really care about people just being happy with health, no push to be “shredded” or live a boring life, thank you for all the inspiration, I can’t wait to see how big your channel grows and all the deserved success, keep it up Will 💪
Do you not know who daddy Noel is?
@@nicholasalvarez7233 a roided up freak
are you still in his ass or already came out?
There's many to trust
There is no way he’s 8.5%, you can barely see his abs, under 10% you would start to see lower ab veins and defined abs. He is at least 14-15%.
im 30% and you can see my two upper abs .. i guess he has very bad ab genetic but yeah no way 8 %
@@SkillsofAesthetics 30% body fat and visible upper abs? You sure you're 30%? Cause I got a friend who's 30% and his belly is hanging.
he isn't 8.5
@@jackedfish29 my dexa said 30.. My tanita said 21,8.. Dexa is more accurate according to standards and the tanita dietician said too. And I feel it's reasonable. But yeah my two upper abs are visible , belly fat sadly exists though.
.
He trains at my gym in London and omg pictures and videos don’t do him any justice this man has the most insane striations ever he is so lean it’s absolutely crazy. Saw him doing lateral raises and on god his delta looked like a bunch of strings and fibres just put together it’s ludicrous
It’s also pretty disgusting. I’m surprised more people don’t think this as well.
@@kyleconnor2759because nobody asked
@@kyleconnor2759 It is unappealing, not sure why people strive to gain such a look. It's not healthy.
If everyone was as cool as will at the gym i don’t think most people would have a problem going he seems like a genuine guy that wants to help no matter your size or abilities to lift
No one cares about you at the gym I promise. That's all in your head. Everyone is focused on their own workouts and in their own head thinking about their day and plans.
Ya? How bout the time i went and some jacked dudes were laughing at me and told me i had no idea just how hard it is to look like them and i was wasting my time im 115lbs so ya man it happens
@@Imperial-simp_destroyer Just ignore them and do your own thing. Who cares if those idiots laugh?
Also did this actually happen or are you making this up?
@@natural5546 no it actually happened I don’t weigh much and ya i know i can ignore which i did but dude who wants to here grown men that are juice heads say stuff to you like as if i was a joke its childish hence why i just do home workouts its way less stressful i never have to wait and never have to watch douche bags flex in the mirror…..or have some girl recording a tick-tok just to make me look like a perv lol
I love how will always manages to uplift my mood and not see life so seriously. The way he said if his body fat is high blame it on sushi just makes me feel to light hearted compared to all the freaking out and overthinking people so about being extremely lean and restrictive. Thanks will for the balanced and healthy approach. Love your videos and humour
It can be done I ended up being unable to eat all my favourite deserts as a result of migraines desert isn't fun anymore now. The deserts make the pills for migraines not work diet pills. Very good though. I had gotten too fond of dessert lot of weight to lose. I'm hoping I can try get very lean someday
Watching your videos has helped me go from 245 lbs to 190 over the last year 🙏🏼 Still have a long way to go but thanks for doing what you do Will. Keep it up
That’s awesome!!!

So basically, we can just watch videos and get results? My prayers have been answered

Holy shit that shot skipping to pull ups was gold
Have to say Will your videos are fantastic , they have changed my attitude towards fitness and nutrition. Keep up the good work
I have watched a hundred weight lifting videos in the past few months and you are by far the most charismatic and funniest creator. I love it. Thanks brother. First time actually subbing.
Big lights will inspire youuuu. Idk bout u guys but I love the music they got playing in the gym
honestly I’ve been trying to get your videos recommended to me on purpose because I know how powerful the algorithm can be in terms of getting me interested in things I showed no interest in before. today I bought a gym membership and I’m hoping things go well from here. Thanks!
Doubt you will see this but how did it go?
@@lydiaparker2931 it went well, actually. i got injured in a soccer game a couple months in so i was understandably out for a little bit, but i went back regardless. nowadays i do cardio and more specific movements that need equipment in a gym near my home, and I also managed to sweet talk the football coach into letting me use the weight room during my open hour so i can do free weights. i don't really watch the youtubers anymore but they were the step i needed to get out there and get hooked on the gym.
hi Will you’ve helped me get back into the gym and so far I’ve lost 16kg since January. thanks.
Bro that’s to much
@@dark9night210 Probs fasting. That isn't too much
Y'all don't know what weight they started at, if they were over 200 lbs, that's a normal amount to drop in that time frame
@R.L that ain't too much, I lost 20 Kgs in 2.5 months a year ago and it included one month of Ramadan too
I would be cool If I could come even close to that physique in my life. But for now I have a lot of fat to burn. I hope I will be slim before summer. I even got personalized meal plan from Next Level Diet. Its a hard journey in front of me. Wish me luck boys and girls.

Thanks, Love these videos! Honestly, i'm 50 & got into Lifting again 3 years ago.

I'm sure the article meant chicken breast, not a whole chicken. A lot of German bodybuilders keep fat very low and go with high carbs. Take a look at Roman Fritz' diet.
I think that the most logical, it's impossible eating ass like that get shredded like that 1770 kcal for breakfast?? That's crazy

This is so freaking funny! I can’t believe how funny this is!
Love ur videos bro .. u have a diff style
5:50: On one hand, in the past, a part of me would have told me that being shredded buys happiness and women. But after months of following a nutritionnist on intuitive eating because I was (and still am a bit) being way to restrictive and overreacting to certain foods I perceived as pure evil (when I didn't before) as well as using the gym and exercice in excess to feel less guilty (basicly orthorexia). Especially since I was a fortunate person who not only never had any weight issues, but also never had to count macros due to my good relationship with my hunger and satiety cues as well as a following in general a diet rich in fiber, good protein and fats. Nowadays, I focus more on a realistic approach where I try to stay fit, muscular and slighty ripped on the abdomen, but not to an extreme degree since this is how I find a good balance between physical and psychological wellbeing. OS now I would say happiness over being shredded. Sorry for the long comment so here's a potato for you all. 🥔
Thank you for sharing that. You hear so many stories of weightloss 'gone too far' or strong EDs that it's interesting to hear someone with good habits, still getting 'ab anxiety' leading to orthorexia. (Or close to.) Glad you're doing well now, good luck with your goals.
Also love the carbot Malthael pic.
Bro haha ‘women’ won’t bring you happiness. Happiness comes from within. You may have came to that conclusion, idk I didn’t read the whole thing, but don’t think other people (women are counted as people..) will give you happiness. It comes from yourself only
I’ve learned after 10 years of lifting that women don’t give a shit how shredded and strong you are. You will always be stronger than them which already means you are strong in their mind. benching 315 vs benching 225 is pretty much the same thing to them, and if you so much as have any kind of ab definition then you are golden.
Of course there are the minority who actually care about how strong you are and how shredded you are but for them there are always bigger, stronger, more shredded guys than you so (most of which are on PED’s lol) so that’s an uphill battle as well.
@@chi7818 I mean, to be fair, in my case that's pretty much spot on. Since I lift I can recognise what's impressive or not, but a guy's bench PR isn't something I value when looking for a potentional partner. :'')
@@esmee6308 haha yeah I wish I knew sooner instead of powerlifting for years, getting big and strong, and causing all kinds of stress to my body that it didn’t need.
Tip for all the young people out there from some random guy, work out for your health and for some aesthetics. Use lower weight and more reps (10-15 rep ranges is what I do now) but still progressively overload for the gains. Focus on form and not weight because no one gives a shit how much you lift. They might be impressed for the moment while you do the lift but that’s it, not worth risking injury and the extra stress for your body. You’ll still get stronger and more aesthetic but it’s more sustainable. I mean that’s what all the older people do because it’s what works and it’s safer. Learn from us old guys lol.
I was sitting at 110kg last year and got a body scan and now 89kg sitting at 18 percent body fat, you’re looking good will keep the awesome content going brother you’re my favourite UA-camr 👌 love from Australia

I had no idea what kind of junk I was eating my whole life. I got terribly fat and worst thing is I wasn't noticing it until I went to doctor for a checkup and my results were terrible. That's when I decided to start living healthy. Bad thing is I am lazy and hate to research about food and I just couldn't count calories all the time so I decided to invest in meal plan from Next Level Diet. Best thing I got myself in this life. I lost so much fat and got so much more energy when I started eating properly. Healthy diet means healthy body and healthy mind.

but I love this man❤ He's my favorite vlogger
Amazing that he was able to go and grab his coffee for breakfast and get back with his food still hot!
3:43 it took me a second to get that lmao
One if the funniest videos you've ever done Will, but still informative. Had me laughing out loud!
if you're gonna use your oven as a toaster, put one of the grills at the highest spot, and put the bagels directly on it, and set to broil, for like 2-3 mins.
Standing calf raises with a deep deep stretch at the bottom are the best thing ever. I am genetically gifted a tiny bit, in that my proportion of calf to thigh is very good. My whole body is well proportioned, but to short to be a pro BB. I thought about it way back, but have no interest in PEDS.
Now I just want to get back in shape and inspire people to never surrender to 'old'.
I'm now at 22% down from 38% at 57. Did it by IF, trail running (street running didn't do much), BFR resistance but mostly kept carbs between 70 - 120g from now on. My typical carb intake when I was at 38% was about 4 - 500g daily... no wonder I couldn't lose weight.
That pretty impressive. That said your body weight is going to be dictated by calories most importantly. Not body fat percentage is different but if you're just trying to lose actual weight you can do it eating 1500 calories of cookies a day it doesn't matter calories will take precedence when it comes to weight loss but not body fat loss for sure
Wow Will your videos are looking like a Netflix production! Keep it up man!
Some real lol moments and inspiring
5:00 that sound effect got me immediately subscribe to your channel
"Would you prefer to be happy or shredded?" Great question
Hey Will, can you do Sumo wrestler diet next? Also keep up the great contents, been binge watching you after a friend send me a link of your video few days ago.
4:44 keep growing up some people. I love you for this.
Being blessed with shredded genetics is tough. Joint aches and pains due to low body fat are hard to avoid as well as hormone levels going out of whack if you’re too lean for too long.
Something i suggest you try if your calves dont grow from calf raises and such, try sprinting and short-medium distance running, with emphasis spending as much time in the air/only the tip of your feet touching the ground while still trying to go as fast as you can which means your calves will be like springs, taking the brunt of your bodyweight + momentum, and also that requires maximum power exertion which is basically what you do when you try to lift heavy and i find that if you do really go hard, especially with the sprinting, you will get very sore calves and make them grow. If you did this and didn't get sore, then you didn't do enough volume. Calf raises and other calf exercises you can do at the gym are annoying and dont even give me the same results as sprinting and sprinting is a lot more fun.
3:12 "he didn't specify so we have a whole bird on the table" im so ded
I tempted to take this on
Only will can make me laugh 18 seconds into the video
