Thank me later
Hala Madrid legend
Still watching the whole video cause Merijn is something different, ✌🏻
Thank you.
Thank you now
You are my hero!
Can you make a video on diet plan for skinny guys? I think that's the hardest question in skinny guy's mind
Ugh I made all these mistakes. Thanks for pointing them out!
My favorite tip was to focus on progressive overload. I feel like many beginners put their focus on trying new things every time they go to the gym, when in reality they need to stop program hopping and focus on key fundamental exercises while getting stronger 💪🏼
Consistency is the key 💪🏻
Tani Tasser amen!!
yes but then gym closes for 3 days at Xmas..
MERIJN... you are the GOAT of the fitness industry... or at least one of them!! A lot of people inspire me, and you are one of the few that actually made me feel comfortable enough to start my channel!! So I just wanted to say thank you for that!! I appreciate you and your truthful vids. I also follow all your advice :)!! Stay uploading please.. You really help me!
Anthony Halkias This keeps my engine running, thx man!
Oh my gosh!!! Thank you for answering!!!
Favourite tip - progressive overload, helped with muscle and strength gains!
Merijn , you’re so humble! One of my favorite tips was you mentioning consistency. Being a “hard gainer” I’ve found every excuse in the book as to why I wasn’t able to put on size, and it was because I claimed I did everything in the book I was told to do! But the reality was, I was too impatient and not willing to put in the work on a consistent basis. Your early videos also taught me this concept through your example, and it really changed my perspective on my goals.
Thank you Merijn!
By far counting the macros is the strongest tip of all.
Bogdan Iosif what are macros sorry english is not my main language
Dont know what that is... Can someone explain plz?
Yes plz do. Idk either
Me too
keeping track of cals is by far the most important thing when it comes to building muscle, macros are waaayy less important, and even then you only really need to track protein
remember to make a vlog of your haircut
These tips are spot on. I been following them the last month and already making mucho gains
It's like every sentence you're saying, I go ''exactly, that's how to do it''. Feels so satisfying to see this and get a confirmation you've been doing everything correctly haha. Absolutely love your channel.
I definitely liked your logic behind weighing yourself, I need to start doing that consistently because you basically called me out right there :)
wow you are absolutely dead on with a few points cos i am one of those who got obsessed with protein intake
I am still new to fitness and have been actively trying to sort through the mounds of bad information available. I didn’t realize that if I wasn’t sore the day after a workout that it still was a productive training session. I always felt like I didn’t push myself hard enough. This is going to be very helpful for me and help me to remain positive and committed to my fitness journey! Thanks for providing sensible and fact based fitness tips!
Yeah there is so much crap out there and people overthink it sooo much.
Progressive overload, calories are king...end of story lol
my favorite part/tip was about the pump and Arnold haha
As always, sick content @Merijn!
Thanks for sharing these tips. Personally, I can relate with the tip about not comparing yourself to others. I totally agree with you that it is important to enjoy the process and DO NOT compare yourself with others.
Not tracking macros was a huge one for me!!! Great video mate
Tip: Not comparing yourself to others, it's you v you.
“The more you seek the uncomfortable the more you will become comfortable.” - Conor McGregor.
I love this quote, thanks man
Thanks man! These 7 mistakes speak volumes to me. I don't do too much cardio, but I used to.
I really like your tip about weighing yourself in the morning. That does help me a lot, because I know what my progress is for the slow journey.

Tracking my calories. That changed my life. I was able to get in to the best shape of my life.
the best tip was tracking calories and then following iifym, helped me overcome only eating clean and my entire mindset about food. Really helped me a lot and it was your videos that did it!
Now im motivated to go back. Since i always stopped workout because of busy work. But now i need to go back to be productive again
Progressive overload is the best tip you gave Merijn.Counting macros too🤝👦🏻
giorgos_gav GR What exactly does progressive overload mean.
That intro gets me hyped every time!
Good advice, simple and to the point ,not full of try hard video editing
Pretty good. I like that you talk fast. Getting more out of my time
Not comparing yourself to others resonated with me.
I only tracked for 2 months but that was enough for me to learn portion sizes perfectly. Now I can gain or lose weight easily with intuition. I know a lot of people can’t do this but It works for me. I recommend people track for a little bit but not forever unless you’re a body builder. Average Recreational lifters don’t need to track long term.
Favourite tip has to be the consistency of making sure that we are on a caloric surplus when bulking and on a caloric deficit when we cutting by tracking the macros, and making sure we are progressing on them Big Lifts!
Thank you for the tips!
Last time I was this early Merijn was dirty bulking
Tristan Burns Must have been a while ago then hahha
Nice vid, i think comparing yourself to others is crucial to enjoy and learn from every step of your journey, thanks!
Good advice as always Merijn. Wishing you and Veronica a happy xmas and a great new year.
The best tip for me was the protein obsession. At first I only worried about eating as much protein as possible but now at the end of your tips videos I started to have a balanced diet and to count the macros
My favorite tip is to not compare yourself to others. When I stopped doing it, I actually started to get more proud of myself and my progress and enjoying the journey :)
This really cleared things up for me, thanks man🙏🏻
Eat 80% clean and leave 20% to make sure you hit calorie goals. I’ve been doing this and it’s been working for me.
I finally started eating and I’ve gained so much weight. Always been a hard gainer but now I’m stuffing myself all the time and the weight is coming so fast.
Already made my day with this video!
Ate Keurentjes same. So hype to see a Merlin upload.
Anthony Halkias merijn*
Ate Keurentjes Haha sick!! Makes me happy to hear that fam
Favorite tip is progressive overload>>pump. Keep up the awesome work, Merijn!
Tip #1 Tracking your food intake!!
Man I just remember from the good old days the vids you made about MyFitnessPal & how to track your calories while being a student. From that day I started using the app, everything changed - I started getting results, became accountable and gained tons of nutritional knowledge!
Tracking your macros def !!! Helped me gain more muscle and lose more fat while cutting.
Tracking your food intake has been the best tip anybody has ever given me, and not to focus on protein too much. Don't make excuses and say you are a hard gainer, but accept that you're somebody with a small apetite and really track your macro's!
Tracking calories for sure! I was never aware of this and since i began doing this it helped me so much. It helped me getting aware of what i was getting in and helps me daily in life now👌
not too much Cardio
This Advice would HILP me so much
thanxx
Mine was tip number 4... the best one. Keep up strong Merijn.
The #5, 6, 7, 8 got me there
Merijn. Good talk sir! But what I usually do is eat smart. If i want to gain weight (what i did was looking for healthy foods like nuts, peanut butter, some dark chocolates and eat more then average of them! I also ate some fast food a few times but I think the main thing to do is to eat smart! Thanks for the video :)
I’m a teenager, and my mom cooks me whatever she wants, and sometimes the meal has more calories, sometimes not, so what should I do if she only let me cook for myself in the morning and evening
I did exactly same things that he is taking about post this lockdown and gained 10 kgs in 40 days!
PURA MOTIVACIÓN
When I started my journey to get a better physique, I made the same mistake most people make. Instead of learning about something myself, I thought that asking someone, who already knows the shit would save me time. So I asked a worker from my gym, who looked buffed af to make me a nutrition plan. And as you can imagine it looked exactly like this
- 5 meals a day
- shit-ton of chicken breast, sometimes beef
- rice and veggies, sometimes a bit of pasta or potatoes
etc.
So I started following that plan hyped to see results as soon as possible. But after almost half a year had passed, I noticed, that I didn't only not gain any visible muscle mass, I even LOST weight. So I asked that guy from the gym again and instead of actually doing something helpfull, he was all like "yeah yeah that's normal. The gains will start coming after a year or so". It was that exact moment, that I noticed, that something was off. So I started informing myself and that was the time I discovered your youtube channel, which changed my life. I watched nearly all of your videos in one weekend and learned as much form them, as I possibly could. So I calculated my TDEE, my surplus and started counting my macros. And BOOM I started seeing first results after WEEKS.
After I had gained about 8 kgs I actually started looking like I was actually doing fitness. So one day this guy from the gym saw me again and noticed some changes. He was all like "yeah I told you, that you'd see results after some more time". I turned to him and said "yes, I did gain muscle mass. But your "advice" didn't do shit and you literally didn't do anything, except for wasting half a year of my time. Thanks for that, asshole". After I turned away from him and went to the locker room, I noticed what just happened. By improving my physique, I subconciously also build the confidence to stand up to someone, which I had real trouble with before.
I really learned a LOT from your videos, but I'd say when it comes to fitness, the most important thing was that you've taught me to count my macros. You have changed my life in a way i never could have imagined when I started working out. Thank you Merijn, keep up your great work and I really hope, that you will reach every single goal you set your mind to.
Awesome to hear this! Thx for sharing!!
@@MerijnOfficial And thank you for not being just a fitness coach, but also a lifestyle role model. You behave in a way, that is the perfect mixture of being an idiotic child and a responsible adult. You show a lot of people, that you can enjoy your life without going completely crazy, get irresponsible and damage your health. The way you treat your friends, your family and Veronica, aswell as how you deal with any possible situation in life is something many people should look up to and try to achieve. One of my biggest dreams is to meet you, just so I can say "thank you" to you in person. Not just from me, but from every single person who was able to learn from your as much, as I did.
Love your energy man!!
Keep UP The Work!!
Many people are looking up to you!!!
Love it broski!
The tip for eating too healthy. Yes eating healthy helped me to loose weight. Lost 35 pounds this year on Paleo but now I want to gain it back in muscle and I am at a point where I am not gaining or loosing even though I am working out. I know I need to track my calories and I also need to stop obsessing on protein and put some carbs back in my diet since Paleo takes carbs out.
Well explained thank you
Thanks Merijn for a fantastic vid mate . To name one tip that is the best , would be crazy . As all the tips you gave , go hand in hand , with each other . However the best tip you gave was to go to the first link below and purchase the new book . If as good as your last book ( which I know it will be) it’s a must have ! Thanks again for another terrific vid mate . Norm.
Realest dude out there!!
Ps what bracelet are you wearing here?
Hey merijn love your videos, also do you have any advice for breaking the fat loss plateaus? Ive been cutting for a few months now and for the last month my weight has kinda stayed the same. Thanks
My favourite tip:: track your calories
After just 1 week of tracking it turned out I am not even in a surplus... Had to adjust my diet here and there thanks Merjin :)
Love the informative videos! 👌 As for the pump; can adding extra volume at the end of your workout for a pump hinder your gains? (e.g. due to too much volume)
Damn I wish I watched this ~3 years ago :D Good to see you again Merjin! :)
Firstt❤️❤️ this is something I really needed right now😂😂
I like tip number 3 the most as this is the yet to be revealed tip and probably the most important one, the best kept secret... 😜 And of course very very curious for your newest book 👌🏼💪🏻 happy holidays!
#3 do curls for the girls
Amazing video Keep it up 😃
The best tip was for chasing the pump... a lot of people i see in the gym they go all in doing insane amounts of sets and reps, and they go out happy. But im happy when i can simply just lift more than them because of progressive overload😁💪
Sick video like always💪🏻
I enjoyed the "chasing the pump tip" - it drives me crazy to see people in the gym train like that. Oh and obviously the Arnie clip made me laugh haha
There are days that I can eat anything and just know it was enough. But there are also days where I eat like 2 times a day because of work and stuff. So I guess being more consistent and serious with my food intake. Keep the daily uploads coming.
Thanks man, just the video i need.
This is great, i'm a skinny guy and count my macros now. What do you think about bagels to help get my carb macros?
not tracking your macros , that tip was really helpfull
Biggest tip for hardgainers is probably not obsessing with healthy foods, when i started i banned out all the bad stuff and ended up skinnier than ever. Took me a while to figure out that i wasn't eating enough calories. Went from 60kg to about 75 now and still going strong(slowly !). Keep it up Merijn.
Eat healthy, bigger portions, more meals a day. Simple as that
I also think too much masturbation may be bad for some people. I didn't think it was affecting me, but I decided to try nofap and have made steroid like gains this week despite sleeping less and eating unhealthy. Could be placebo but who knows. I don't even plan to stop masturbation completely, but these results are addictive.
Tqvm guru👍
The fact that you said to eat unhealthy food to reach your macro's is definitly some good advice ! #NeedThatBookTho #TeachMeSenpai
Reason why carbs are important for natty skinny is because of high metabolic rate. It burns muscle if we are in a caloric deficit of 400+.
Though 0.7 protein per pound of body weight is still high and costly in my opinion. Unless you are competing.
Mistake number 1
Since i started to track my calories my result came faster as well
But where is mistake number 3?
Did you miss it lol
I saw the most gains when I stopped doing cardio.
Honestly I fell into the same trap with cardio. I thought that if some cardio was good then more must be better to help me stay lean while bulking up. Ultimately, I just wound up spinning my wheels because I was too afraid to commit to being in a caloric surplus for the amount of time that it takes to build substantial amounts of muscle. I love all of these tips and I appreciate that you're more than willing to admit that you've made some of these same mistakes in the past. Keep up the fantastic content and have a great Holiday! Very lekker video! #Dankuwel
I don’t track anything at all. Just eat a lot and workout. Take creatine everyday and weigh myself here and there. I just study my body to see if what I am doing is working. Hate tracking shit.
Merijn ik zou het super tof vinden als je voor kerst een sicke fitness motivation video maakt 😍😍🤤
Just subscribed!
I count macros, weigh myself but I think I take in too few calories per day. Focusing too much on protein. But my question is: how do I know how many calories do I need to stay at my weight/vs to gain? I take in about 2200-2800/day. Which I feel is not enough after watching this video 😄
I spend a year at the gym doing everything wrong eating a lot of junk and not taking protein but I gained some weight but it was all fat lol but now that I eat healthy 3200 calories per day and I take protein in the morning and at night I’m seeing results
thank you for the tips.
Great content !
Point 1 is dead-on.
Point 2 is totally wrong. Unhealthy food is N-E-V-E-R necessary.
Point 3 [skipped].
Point 4 is good. Only 8-10% of your total caloric intake needs to be protein.
He never said it’s necessary. Just said it’s a way to get calories up
Merijan:
is the book only available as ebook!?
god jul och gott nytt år!
Victor Kaiser god jul!
Would you advice a 15 year old to do a mini cut just for a week after like 4 months of lean bulking? Also my biggest mistake was chasing the pump.
i had the same problem as you merijn i was doing way too much cardio whilst trying to bulk ;)
You are a helpfull guy no bulshits no sponsers thumbs up!!
Sickkk love you video’s
Not counting my calories and not being consistent. Consistency is everything
Don’t get obsessed with protein!!!!! This was for sure a mistake I made early on!!!
Caleb Howard I think we all made that mistake early on! Lol!
You need at least 800 gram!!
B b whatt??? You sure that’s enough??
@@bullbou7003 no, you need at least 1kg of protein per kg of bodyweight
U need a can of whey protein per day. That's why ur not gaining muscles
Not taking tren
Kim Jong Un 😂😂😂😂
nice vid thnx man❤
I just started and this is very helpful, thanks!😊
Dont compare yourself to others. the truth has been spoken
