A lifetime worth of videos that can still help everyone all over the world reach their fitness goals 🎉🙌❤️

Honest video with out sugar coating. Just they way it should be told to us.
Thanks for keeping it real coach Scott. 😊
Appreciate the suppot @@herculesinwyoming !
I am enjoying the casual chatting videos!
@ScottHermanFitness I like them too, no need to be angry or irritated in videos. I like to be happy in this crazy world.
The OG of youtube fitness.. Great to see people like yourself still going at it.. continue to influence the next few generations..
please post more workout videos where you share specific nuances to certain exercises, like what you did with your cheat and recover series..
and yes, natty for life..
I might do a few more workout routines when I have a bit more time! Would be good to get back into it!

Love this channel helped me lifting in the very beginning good to see you still here 😎💪🏼
You were the first fitness influencer who made me start this journey 7 years ago. God bless man and thank you for all the motivation and inspiration over the years!
Dude I couldn't agree more. With all of the insane guys out there claiming natural I have so appreciated Scott for almost a decade now.
Man, your little segment around 5:30 really motivated me. I’m 30, been lifting about 5 years consistently, and already I’ve seen so many people my age jump on and off gear before wasting away. I’m not growing near as much as I was but I’m maintaining and ever so slowly gaining. I hope to be able to maintain close to a good physique naturally as long as possible. Wear it like a badge of honor!
So many people looking for short cuts man. It's not good. Natty gains are gains you will keep! Keep it up bro!
Scott Herman lives!
You know it!
Thanks for sharing!
Good to see you braaah
You are the GOAT, i have been lifting for about an year or so and your decade (maybe even older) old videos really help to learn the proper form of any exercise! First time looking into your recent explanation type of videos, and I got to say you definitely know so much about lifting. Will make sure to learn from your other videos, thanks a lot for helping the community out so much for FREE all these years!
Love this conversation, Scott 🫡
As always, great video Scott. Glad you're doing them more regularly again.
Thanks man! Yeah feels good to be back in the swing of things!
Have you tried my 5 Day Bodybuilding split? It’s the program I’m using right now! muscularstrength.com/you-must-register/5-Day-Bodybuilding-Split

Great Oticle my guy!
Scott Herman 🌟
Subbed . In my early 20's, You are now my natty sensei
Time flies! Good to see you back dude👊
We back baby!
Great education and encouragement Scott! I'm an older guy that returned to the gym a few years ago. One of my New Years goals is to really pay attention to my form when doing exercises. Your videos have been extremely helpful and I've already seen measurable gains. Next step is to get my meal plan under control. I'll be checking out your videos on that next.
Love to hear it! Form and food, get both under control and there is nothing you can't accomplish!
Yes Scott! Been playing catch up with a load of your vids lately! Still awesome 🫶
Hey bro!! Long time no see!! 🙌🙌🙌
@@ScottHermanFitness sure is mate, and always looking like the day I first watched you! Life is keeping you young and healthy mate! It’s awesome to see! #HTH
Hey Scott, hope your month of January went well! Great job on the content!
Thanks bro!! so far so good! Hope you are well!
Thanks for sharing Scott. Been creeping your old videos for a year now. Decided to subscribe because I appreciate your insights as a natural lifter. I also like the retrospective look back at your old work and opinions and being open to saying maybe your views have changed.
Thanks so much for the support Geoff! I think going back over my OG content just to re-iterate that high quality info is super useful right?!
Have you tried my 5 Day Bodybuilding split? It’s the program I’m using right now! muscularstrength.com/you-must-register/5-Day-Bodybuilding-Split
Thanks for sharing Scott. I'm doing a legs, chest and back split and trying to go 4-5 times a week. I'm on a fat burn meso right now but once it's done I'm going back to bulking and looking to get stronger. Looking forward to more videos!!
needed this, I appreciate it 🙏
and to add on, you are one of the best fitness influencers and you give authentic information, not trying to steer anyone in the wrong direction, respect 💪
My pleasure man! And thanks for the kind words! Means a lot my friend 🙂

Your channel has been very useful since the og days 2012 !!
scotts bookshelf anxiety is me everyday lol
So I started working out every day last December and my weight was 162lbs. Today I am about 180-181lbs. You can easily gain more muscle by increasing your weekly frequency of working out. Metabolic stress has nothing to do with muscle growth. I never start a set winded. You go to the gym to build muscle not do cardio. Muscle damage is related to muscle growth, but it doesn't cause the muscles to grow directly. You need to be intense. You have to use the effective range of motion that targets the intended muscle contraction and flexion. Rep range for hypotrophy is anywhere from 1 to 50 in theory, but we know 6 to 12 is ideal. I always lower the weight when my set ends with 6 reps for example. Take all your sets to failure. Do not do supersets or rest pauses or going beyond failure. Just go for proper rep range and you should have juice in the tank after the set but not enough for another rep. Stetch mediated hypertrophy is misinformation too. Unless you plan to have your muscles in the stretched position for an entire hour, you cant gain muscle by pausing excessively on essentric movements. Just do 4 to 8 second reps. Explode concentrically and control the essentric, but no longer than 8 seconds. Focus on feeling your muscle contraction. Eat right and sleep 8 to 10 hours. 7 to 9 for people who don't lift. Lift 7 days a week. Your body will tell you when you need a rest day. No wonder people are only gaining 20 to 25lbs in their 1st year of lifting. They are told its ok to lift 3 times a week.
living legend
Super
Thank you! Want a bit more frequency in your training? Time to try my Guaranteed Gains program! muscularstrength.com/you-must-register/guaranteed-gains
Once upon a time, this man was everything a fitness freak would look upto on YT community, every video would take upto 1M+ views but now.. sad to see him like this, an inspiration regardless
Love the Indiana jones reference! Those movies are wicked awesome!
Yeah, I get that too. That I have not grown visibly bigger because I have been training since the last five years. But I have gone from size XS to size M and I can see my gains and definitions on shoulders, lats and legs. I am just afraid to take juice. I am bigger than before but lean.
You'll never have the body of a juicer if you are natural, but what you have is yours, and as time goes on you'll see that staying natural is more beneficial than not staying natural.
Whatever you do, stay natural ❤️🔥
Dam I just watched your 2010 smith machine bench video lmao. Its a good video man for 2010. Glad you didn’t stop making videos
Everybody hit the like button, so we can get Scott’s views up to the old days!
Hell yeah let's gooooo!
Woohoo my hero is back and looking younger than ever damm.
Went from 144lbs having never stepped foot into a gym to 185lbs in 12 months busting my ass eating on a PPL routine BECAUSE of this aahhhhticle! Was amazing info to a noob! After that, it's a progression of "the more you learn, the less you know." Still good stuff!
Very nice. As a natural, we have to eat to gain
@jasonking3342 💯 - looking back on the pics seems to be an endless stream of massive double-meat chipotle burritos haha
This comment just made my day bro!
@ScottHermanFitness 🤘😎🤘
Can you describe your ppl routine?
I'm glad you talk about the natural limit. I'm 5'8 40 years old and I think 160 12% will probably be the best I will ever do. Been lifting consistently with discipline and eating well for 15 years. I couldn't hit 225 bench until my late twenties, 250 came mid thirties, 270 at 38.
While I've made improvements and look better year to year it's still taken years of hard work and dedication. Some ppl just have a longer harder road to ultimately end up with less and it's not necessarily that they have done anything wrong. People are quick to assume you aren't training hard enough or not eating right. Everyone has body dysmorphia and unrealistic expectations. It's just frustrating to see ppl say fight club/Troy Brad Pitt is DYEL and legitimately think the Rock/Cena are natural.
One of my 2024 goals is to lose weight and get a physique like the BowFlex commercial guy, Randy Potter, or a wrestler. Time to get the body prepped for shirtless summer.
This summer about to be the best yet! Hell yeah man!
How many weeks i should switch up my workout program? Every 6 weeks?
10:58 you were talking about diminishing returns, does the diminishing returns only count when it comes to time working out. Why doesn’t it apply to drop and supersets. if you are, I’ve already reached failure and you will beyond by lowering the way or having someone help you is the stimulus really making you gain more muscle
Do Myo Reps after a high rep set train fast twitch muscle fiber ?
OG 💯
You know it!
What's your thoughts on the number of exercises one really needs to effectively hit a muscle, also thought s on changing exercises too much when you haven't yet hit your lifting goal ?
I think if you're still progressing, you don't need to change super often. And number of exercises, I wouldn't put an exact number on it, but again you don't need heaps. The basics are best! Like in my Guaranteed Gains program! muscularstrength.com/you-must-register/guaranteed-gains
Anyone who has small kids does a lot of overhead presses and will appreciate being strong in that rom. You don't do biceps curl or triceps extension with a kid hanging off of you very often, but with overhead presses, you better be able to rep those out if you want to be a dad.
Haha so true! Nothing quite like that Dad strength!
I still think about Herby sometimes 🌱
Good old herby 🥲
Fuck yes!❤❤
Hell yeah!
Another great video, man. Thanks for sharing the tips. I have a coworker that is on juice, and I told him that I have been lifting for 9 years and he says that I am small and should be way bigger and says i I don't know what I am doing lol. I just laugh and I say ok. Lol. He told me he plateaued at 144lbs then he started taking roids lol. What a guy.
At 144lb you should be drinking juice boxes not illegal drugs 😂.
@@paulx7620 lol
Any excuse to juice right? 😆
@@ScottHermanFitness lol yup
I have a question about natty vs Juiced. If you use creatine, is it considered juicing or still natural? I see conflicting stories on it, and I can see both sides.
0:51 the natty are not concept is dangerous two ways in one way sometimes it can create a unrealistic example but what I think is more detrimental is that every single person now is accused of being on gear and people will think that they have to take steroids to get any results or look good which is not true. And even some of the examples, you see who are on gear, may have been able to reach it naturally.
7:09 you can have unrealistic expectations on your limits to. who would go into the gym with the attitude that oh I have limits so I’m not gonna try my hardest
Scott great content as always, I appreciate the fact you’ve stayed a natural lifter you’re entire career. Much respect 🫡
3:56 but what body fat percentage and how fat beyond your setpoint do you have to go before you create new fat cells?
8:14 exactly what is that key benefit that you get when you set limits for yourself?
Whenever i try to explain the full ROM for shoulder press scott some gurus in my gym just losses there mind because if they follow that way they can't press more than 40 kgs 🤣..... when i mention about you to them they go silent af too 🙆♂️
haha oh man I believe it. They want to quarter press 165lbs when they can barely hit 115lbs for full ROM. EGO is the gains killer!
How many calories did you eat a day when you tried to gain size? You always stayed lean so I can't imagine your calories were too high in bulks
Hello good 👍❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤🎉 good project
Thanks for watching man!
6:09 exactly what compound or PED causes you to age more rapidly? You do know that there are compounds like IGF one LR three that can actually keep you looking younger and feeling better as you age?
*_i am pleased to meet you💖😍🌹_*
What about someone who has reached a point in their life when their testosterone is starting to diminish and they use TRT to bring it back to normal. do you consider them natural on natural or what?
4:17 why would you put a set number or amount of muscle to expect when training are you just gonna put on 5 pounds then stop because you are told that that’s all you can gain?
8:39 what if you don’t train optimum for your first four years and then change your program to an optimal program. Are you just gonna miss out on those games and they’re gone for good?
6:49 why is 500 cal over maintenance the magic number why not 150 why not 600?
👍✨
Want bofbthe I am not sure
Natural is best trust me!
👍👍👍
:-D :-D
This is gonna sound like a dumb question, but does gaining, let's say 20 lbs of muscle, mean you show 20 more lbs on the scale or does it mean you have replaced 20 lbs of fat with muscle?
13:11 then why would professional bodybuilders risk injury, and ending their career which is making the money by lifting heavy when all they have to do is take the gear to get the results?
13:59 you trained to look like Goku let’s be honest 😂
0:47 oops, Scott's Boston accent dissapeared and pronounced article normally 😂
14:10 what is an enhanced athlete, trained a very long time naturally, and peaked out their natural results, and then use PED’s as a stepping stone to go beyond. Just because they’re taking PED’s does that mean that they can’t give you advice anymore?
Somebody save me time what's the 7 mistakes
0:43 are you telling me that if you’re in a caloric deficit and you have a pop tart you won’t be lean?
Most natural? What does that mean?
People that don't use performance enhancing drugs/steroids etc.
1:34 are you saying that natural athletes can’t spread bad information?
4:57 if you’re able to keep on progressively overloading why would your body stop responding with adaptation of muscle growth?
if you’re asking, what is the natural limit, yes, it is a thing. Think about it this way, if it wasn’t a thing people that are 80 or 70 would be the biggest people around. But we know that doesn’t happen.
@@VacationRaphael different arguments, I’m not talking about when you’re on the decline with old age.
the body might keep adapting, but the rate of adaptation slows down to effectively 0 eventually. if it didnt people would be squatting 2000+ pounds at their peak@I-di-nt-do-nuff-in-
@@fincy645 why does it have to be weight ? Why not reps sets and frequencies
@I-di-nt-do-nuff-in- if it isn't weight then you aren't gaining muscle because more muscle = ability to lift more weight
I eat two
Pack of pop tarts everyday and stay lean 🤷♂️, and I do use if it fits your macros.
May have to do those drop sets tonight (designated arm day).
As I sit here surrounded by bookshelves haha.
I like to rotate lifts, and I like my 4-day U/L with a 5th designated arm day.
Drop sets are the best! And if you're doing Upper / Lower, you should try my Guaranteed Gains program! muscularstrength.com/you-must-register/guaranteed-gains
9:57 what scientific studies are you referencing? Were they double blind control studies? Did they go through the scientific method and have positive positive negative and experimental controls. All these studies never come to a complete conclusion, just correlations and theory.
They often view being natural as if it is virtuous and morally superior.
Because it is ;-)
7:27 is this more about your experiences, and how you feel? Are you trying to cope with your progress and where you’re at as a natural athlete? You keep on referencing these comments that you received. you can’t use your experience or progress to represent what everybody else can expect
I love your no nonsense attitude to fitness and appreciate your tips. I agree- you look incredible and so damn hot! Yes, you haven’t aged since forever. Keep up your amazing work and inspiring all of us! Thank you, Scott!! 💪🏻💪🏻
Trying to stay young forever haha! Thanks for the support my friend! Means a lot! Have you tried my 5 Day Bodybuilding split? It’s the program I’m using right now! muscularstrength.com/you-must-register/5-Day-Bodybuilding-Split
@@ScottHermanFitnessthanks so much, Scott!! Will try it!
I use cheat rep's now and then. I'm going on age 47 this stuff ain't easy.
What’s funny, Scott, is I feel like you look younger than you used to.
Couldn’t these tips applied to enhanced athletes to should enhance athletes have expectations on how much muscle they can gain from certain compounds and how they can get from others. Would enhance athletes gain more muscle, if they use full range of motion, even though they’re on gear. When enhance athletes benefit from not bulking up so fat and creating new fat cells.
Wait, wtf happened to Scott’s accent??!?🤨
Maybe a key reason why you haven’t seen so much more progression is because you look in the mirror and say well that’s it I’m natural I can’t gain anymore so I’m not gonna try my hardest. And I’m definitely not saying that you don’t look big or lean. You’re pretty much Goku without the hair.
Not natty ever after juicing! Preach it!
By far the biggest problem with Natural Lifters is that they don't use drugs😂😁
Sounds like you're jealous that us nattys actually keep our gains :-)
@@ScottHermanFitness That was a joke.. Actually, I've been training for 38 years, a natural with bad genes 😁
What have I achieved with it.. nothing
Holy shit, there is no way you are 40!
Let’s define what is meaning, natural or unnatural. Is it natural for a human to go inside of facility and use weight to create mechanical tension to damage the muscle for a response of muscle growth? Is it natural for somebody to take 5 g of creatine a day which they could never get without a supplement. is it natural for somebody to take herbal supplements that will help drain water and give them a dryer lean look.
What he is 40???? That's awesome looks like he's in his 20s
I'm surprised you even go to a gym. I remember when your were building your own in your house.
15:15 these are negative stereotypes about bodybuilders that are completely untrue. Some of the most intellectual people you mean are in this hobby.
You are sticking to outdated information when it comes to how body fat will hinder gains. There's nothing wrong with the path that you've chosen for your journey. BUT those who choose that fluffy route can also get some awesome strength and size gains.
I'm not saying you CAN'T get strength and size gains. But you don't NEED to gain insane amounts of fat just to progress
@@ScottHermanFitness Sigh, BUT you are indeed referencing a video without outdated information regarding how body fat inhibits progress. And that information is absolutely wrong.
@abraham - a lot of “you're wrong!” but I don’t see you offering jack shit in your own defence.
@abraham - a lot of “you're wrong!” but I don’t see you offering jack shit in your own defence.
@@KM-hk8tc sigh... repeating yourself hardly makes your lame defense any stronger. Scott's mistake was relying on old studies that made an assumption that the relationship between higher body fat and increased insulin sensitivity would hinder size and strength gains in the gym. Research after the videos referenced were made has shown that not to be the case.
No way anyone is putting on 25 lbs of muscle in a year. With exceptional genetics you’d be lucky to get 10 lbs.
Brand new lifters absolutely can gain that much in a year. If everything is done right, and yes genetics play a part too
😂 10 is nothing for people who have never touched a weight. Those numbers are widely accepted by everyone in the fitness community
Iv been natural for about 10 years now as im afraid to take anything illegal incase something bad happens lol. I do find it a plateu though with consistent training, food and natural supplements. Natural bodybuilders like you can give good advise and i hope you can lol.
We all hit plateaus man, it's normal - can be good to change things up, take a deload or soemthing to push past plateaus!
If you're lifting alot of weight you may need more recovery time. Maybe more protein and sleep too. Also, are you always in the same rep range ?
I'm surprised you even go to a gym. I remember when your were building your own in your house.
