I stopped going to the gym for 3 years after doing it religiously for 15 years.. i thought it was going to take like 5 years to get all my gains back, but it only took maybe around 6 months or so to get 95% of my gains back. So right now, I realize how very strong muscle memory is, even stronger than steroids, so yeah I dont stress about losing muscle anymore.
Muscle memory is such a blessing, I was genuinely amazed at how quick I bounced back after a year off and was even out lifting my original lifts within like 2 months
Every year i start working out from late March, April and stop when the winter starts around November. Next year when I start again, it takes me around 1.5/2 months to get back where I was 😂.
I cannot stress enough how crucial sleep is for our health. A close friend of mine, who was only 31, passed away from a heart attack. His blood pressure was alarmingly high at 210 last July. Another friend of ours rushed him to the hospital, and I assumed that with proper treatment and medication, he would recover. Tragically, he passed away just a month later. It seems he may have continued his unhealthy habits despite the warning signs. He was slightly overweight but not obese.
I’m sorry to hear that. Unfortunately but not surprisingly, this is becoming more common. More and more each of us needs a good support system around, because while there may be individuals that can self discipline themselves into combating our modern world of distractions and unhealthy behaviors, there are many who struggle alone, and it’s difficult to to seek help. It’s very unfortunate.
I’m sorry to hear that also. But remember. Obese is only 20 pounds overweight. Like 80% of Americans are overweight. So a lot of people that are overweight don’t look overweight to us today. We could spot it way better in the 80s and especially in the 70s and earlier.
@@todow48 well he is Asian, and I know what obese is. He's chubby, probably wears large but not XL for sure. I heard he goes to gym at 12am and still awake until early morning. It's his pattern that is irregular and not normal to me, plus he's stressed about money. But then again who's not stressed financially, and as I said he's just 31
That's the answer. He go high BP. He was stressed + not sleep properly contributing in his high blood pressure. Being overweight with financial problems already contributes more to it. He is fighting to lose weight by gym yet at the same time not sleeping with stress rising in the background @brownwallet942
As a life / relationship coach I just want to mention that porn and masturbation are perfectly fine, but like Wanhee says at 9:10, yes, you want to limit to what I always advise (1 orgasm per day if you live alone). If you have a partner, then maximum (2 orgasms per day unless you start to feel lethargic, go back down to 1 because your body must have time to recover). That's all. Much love !
One of my tricks for dealing with mental / physical recovery & getting sufficient protein was to whip up my fruit flavored protein powder with 1% fat Greek yogurt. Then I’d blend in berries for antioxidants, and freeze the whole mixture so that I’d basically get frozen protein yogurt. When I’m on a cut I can boost my morale by downing a pre-made cup of my homemade protein berry froyo, which can amount to a whopping 100g protein for one large ice cream scoop serving. Best way to make it smooth with no graininess is to use casein powder, I reason that it’s because yogurt’s made out of the same thing? Because of the casein I also try to eat it before bedtime as a nice dessert to look forward to - the casein will then digest long-term as my body recovers while I sleep. Of course if you have only whey then use that; If you’re lactose intolerant you can still do all of this by using non-dairy coconut yogurts and plant protein powders though I cannot attest to the flavour outcome because I’ve never tried it. TLDR: berry protein froyo 1. Morale boost during cutting diet 2. Compact way of serving protein, frees up caloric capacity to fit in tasty low protein meals 3. If you make it with casein powder and eat it before bedtime, it’ll help boost muscle recovery and mix best whey isolate works well too for texture and flavor.
Realest in the game. You’ve truly changed my lifestyle. I’ve been so consistent for the past year while happier than ever more productive than ever. Couldn’t have done it without this channel 💯💯
Thank you for sharing these valuable insights! I appreciate the reminder to focus on rest, stress management, and consistency for better gains- not only in the body but mind also. Great content!
Don’t underestimate the effect smoking has on your physique.. I just got pneumonia recently and the fact I was smoking hurt me greatly. It will be months before I can train properly again. Please quit smoking. Don’t be like me.
I lost most of my muscle mass on purpose I use to be jacked until something in my brain flipped when I caught 3 different illnesses every single month I went crazy and wanted to lose muscle and I had an ED because of this still recovering
6 months ago or so I used to go to the gym, I think I lasted 2 months or so, I went randomly throughout the week trying to make it a habit, one day I couldn't take it anymore and left it. I think i'll try this.
I have found this channel just a couple of days ago, besides scientific grounded knowleage and voice, what is really stuck in my mind is the word “point” in Korean from the fashion video 😆 I am so drawn to Asia lately in my life, especially kimchi (!). I believe you should advocate more about fermented food and its benefits to gut health! Love this channel!
hey, just wanted to say you're different from most of the fitness youtubers as you focus on gains that nattys can actually make. I hope I never find out otherwise haha. Gratz on getting sponsored!
Superb video once again. Consistentency is one of the hardest thing to master. Maybe a video just on how to be consistent with diet and gym would be nice.
hey bro i was watching your videos the last couple months and you’ve became one of my favorite role models. i just broke up with my girlfriend last week can you do a video on break ups please
High bodyfat is not that simple. You gain muscle and fat simultaneously on a bulk, so you're at your most muscular at the peak of the bulk when you have the most bodyfat as well. If I wanted to have objectively the most muscle mass, I would bulk way up into 30%+ bodyfat. It would be unhealthy, but that would be the easiest way for naturals to build muscle
@@xthee_0nly_1x11 body fat 14-18% is the ideal range, what do you mean by "after 15% converts testosterone into estrogen" wtf 14% is literally the most fit form without the issue that comes from the lack of fat. your source????? you just speak bullshit.
Important one if youre like me: DRINK WATER I know it’s difficult, but its really good for optimising not only gains, but how long you can go at each session
You guys need to stop thinking about stress like it's one of the worst things you can expose your body and mind to. Stress temporarily weakens you, but it also causes your body and mind to fortify their defenses against future exposure. What do you think of flu shot is? It's stress on your immune system and body. Even emotional and psychological stress to some degree are good for you because it teaches you how to deal with stressful situations in the future. When I hear statements like you need to stop exposing yourself to stress, I think nothing could be further from the truth. Without exposure to stress, when you have difficult situations you're not going to have any idea how to deal with them.
Jerking off and watching porn does not affect T Levels, I don’t understand how people can still believe this incredibly old stupid rumor that has been debunked so many times
Thanks for all the advice you give us. Been following for a bit and I absolutely love your philosophy on how to live a sustainable healthy lifestyle. I’ve been able to stay consistent and actually lose weight thanks to your advice
That's funny about the snot in the soup. In Spain we say "Me cago en la leche" which means to take a you know what in a bowl of milk. I know, it's really insane but they still say it to this day lol
Sleeeep omg I remember feeling so incredibly disappointed I couldn't climb a few weeks ago because I was literally too tired to do more than get home after work. Stress I can only do so much about (f**k old white phobic men frrrrr) but SLEEP helps so much recovering from that 😭 And now here I am after being absolutely bodied by a cold for a week due to me getting not enough sleep GET SLEEEEE
What would happen if I do my strength training for each muscle group once a week, but hit like 1.5 or 2 hours of HIIT cardio about 5 days a week? Would I lose muscle mass or would I be okay to do that to lose body fat?
I resumed my training recently after a year and a half break And even tho I experience a lot of stress, anxiety and sleep issues caused by those things I still make gains fast I Guess it's that muscle memory thingy working
One point from my side I literally did exercise for 1 1/2 year straight no rest days nothing.... every single day.. But when I stopped it all came crashing down from there .... Good news is I have started up again but this time I am taking rest days to improve my wellbeing too
Brother how to wake up early i have time to gym only in the morning but i am not able to wake up early like 6 am ,i have to go to university at 8 and i wake at 7 40 , please give some advice i am 21
Why does he exclusively show clips of him eating at the beginning while insinuating that eating is ruining your gains? I know marijuana is good for recovery but God damn did he have a little to much
I just take steroids and forget all about that crap. I train when I want, eat when I want and sometimes I don’t even go to the gym for weeks. Still look great
1- overtraining/ lack of rest
2- chronic stress
3- bad sleep
4- low protein
5- lack of consistency
6- long term injury
7- chronically low testosterone
8- high body fat

Stress, anxiety, depression doesnt have any switch that you can just turn off. It takes time to make it go away

Higher body fat past 15% converts testosterone into estrogen and increases feminine hormones. Bulking for too long or too high will not be beneficial.

I have manta sleep mask as well. It’s really amazing.
When you have high body fat percentage you have high aromatase which essentially converts that testosterone into oestrogen.
I'm just too sexy and muscular to the point it's annoying. This video was very helpful.
good video mate
Nice video!
Ive been waiting for this tutorial for a year
Hey , i was wondering if you have video on how to track my progress (calories intake, weight , gym workout..etc) ! Thank you
You’re gaining a lot of muscle.😮
It’s REALLY important to emphasize how BAD alcohol is for your test. If you workout hard then drive that night. You erase like 50% off your workout.
