A lot of it does depends on genetics and muscle mass. Some people store fat differently, and where you store it is down to genetics. However, if you don't have a lot of muscle mass, you can look pretty "skinny fat" at lower body fat percentages due to muscle not filling up those areas of your body.
the thing is though, he's not "skinny fat". He looks like has a decent amount of muscles (arms, traps, shoulders) and if he were in fact 12%, he would look pretty good. He's not in bad shape in the beginning, but no way that we has at 12%
bro calm down. hes saying he is in decent shape compared to the rest of america, and thats pretty accurate. this guy is also pretty young though, which skews it but still.
I think you belittle the fact that the athletes you're talking about had to stay committed to that level of training since they were kids. High level sport isn't something that you can just pick up for a few weeks.
@@ruairibreathnach4511 actually bro I'm training to play professionally and I started when I was a teen although some others started when they were about 9 years old
@@ruairibreathnach4511 bruh....from being kids, you come to the islands and youll see kids as young as 8 years old already training and getting on the farms...alotta athletes have been drilled since they were young
No training to extreme training is not a good idea. Im no expert but I've found it takes a while for your body to build a base strength and be ready for hard training
Nah weights will be set at what you can lift and people who are new ish to training especially on a high calorie diet will be able to recover fairly quick
Juany C didn't work for this guy lol. This same thing happened to a close friend of mine. Like crazy for the weekend said, listen to your body. You can tell the difference with some experience of feeling the burn or feeling the strain
Im quite young (17) so that helps but ive been training gym 5 5 times a week rugby twice and a game for a year plus and ive never had bad any bad injury's apart from a minor shoulder injury from rugby.
Juany C being 17 helps alot yes. Things change alot into your 20s if you start working more and playing less sport. Best to just keep in shape the whole time and your body won't get shocked when you need to train hard
His training may have been hard but you are all assuming that he does not train to begin with. I am sure that professionals advised him on how to do this.
Cool video! I always admired the dedication and work ethic of rugby players. Excellent work on showing what it takes, and that was without actually playing any games. So imagine the perseverance required to go through the season. The body has to cope and recover from the daily workouts and game days. Geez....
Thanks for sharing your experience. This hernia will be a reminder for proper periodization / execution of the exercise program in the future. Not all bodily tissues are able to withstand strain and recover from it following a similar timeline. It will hopefully heal, not become sequestered, but unless surgically taken care of, it'll keep on being a weak spot in your abdomen. Exercise is life, it is therapeutic and can also be detrimental. It all depends on how it is approached. Be well 👍
Looks like they didn't even measure his body fat directly, they only estimated it based on his physical measurements, which is very inaccurate. To measure accurately you need a DEXA scan which uses lower energy x-rays to directly measure body composition. Or to do hydrostatic weighing, which requires the body to be submerged to measure body density. Or an MRI imaging. I didn't see any of that in the segment. They're probably off by as much as 5-6%.
This is so real. I continued to train with minor sciatica and eventually blew out (literally demolished) one of my lumbar discs. Been 4 months and I am just starting to jog again.
The after photo is zoomed in to give the illusion of more size. There is probably no pump in the before photo and a pump in the after photo. Also, the contrast in the after photo has been increased in Photoshop or other software to exaggerate muscle definition. The after photo is sharper to show chiselled muscles
Hey if possible could you add somewhere the actual workout program you followed. Like what you trained for ie Diet (macro breakdown), Conitioning, Strength or Speed and breakdown all reps, sets, rests, intensity etc. Thanks, this was a good video and whatever program you followed it clearly worked, just woulda been a lot better video with all the info above explained somewhere. Thanks mate.
don't jump to conclusion. He probably retains more water which gives an effect of a bloated look, also his body type could store more fat in his stomach than his arms and legs... conclusion someone with 12% fat could look shredded compared to someone with 11% of body fat just because of the reasons above.
Yeah, because you totally need to take BCAAs and all those supplements to be a pro athlete. I totally need to take stuff that are in most cases useless especially if you are on a balanced diet with above average calorie intake.
Im 12% bf and still have no abs lol y'all should shut up because lifting weights doesnt mean you are going to get abs, some people like us stock fat in the belly more than in any other part of the body. Fat doesnt stock the same for everyone.
Military, law enforcement, spec ops people usually don't take supplements during there training, and they are hard as nail because they work off what there body can give them
Doesn't look any different at all.. was fine to begin with , should of used a skinny / tall journalist to show it really works. The man already had traps hahah
One thing you said .. that your fat loss resulted in higher lean mass percentage but I think it’s more likely that you gained lean mass resulting in body fat percentage loss
I bet 2 full body workout sessions of strength training a week and more time actually playing and practicing rugby would be a better approach. Your supplemental training to your sport should never cause an injury.
Would of been a more interesting vid if you played a game before all the training did the 4 weeks of training and afterwards played another game and see the difference in your performance, anyone can follow a training regime.
The reason you got a hernia is because you went from minimal if any training to intense training nearly every day. You should have done some light workouts and gotten your body accustomed to lifting weights before turning up the intensity.
Sorry but the comparison is not relevant. On the second picture the camera is closer from you than the first one, so it's normal that you look bigger...
That's what will happen when u train without a base strength first starting out U will get injured!! A base program such as Starting Strength Or strong lifts or even Greyskull lp is recommended ...peace out
You don't need supplements for training. If your really tough your just use your will power and proper eating. Most supplements mess with your natural body chemistry, plus there an excuse to not push your self as hard.
certain supplements are needed though. I agree that the majority aren't worth it, things like vitamin supplements, fish oils, or protein powder are extremely beneficial without any real downsides
man I wish I could afford supplements like that I just got better from being ill (had to take a week off) and as soon as I start training again (3 days in) I fall ill again (luckily its the weekend)
Absurd. I'm not at all surprised that he got injured. Pro rugby players have been training hard for years, often since they were children. A random guy with an office job cannot reach the same level of fitness in only 6 weeks.
Well done holding down a job and training like that great results too, people are always going to hate something body fat innacurate etc, bollock to m.👍
the thing is professional athletes bodies don't break down on them after 8 weeks. you have to do these types of routines for years to reach pro level...of course all athlete's bodies fail them in the end .
Anything with I/we trained like blank(s) for amount of time in the title is almost guaranteed to be a noob or noobs being amazed that they get any results from exercise in general. Like no shit
Class idea for a video, but more actual rugby training to expose your body to the bangs and bumps I think would have benefitted the narrative and given a more 'fun' spin on things. If you want to consult me on future projects or take me on as a creative producer then contact me through my email. I'm local too so that should help. Ta, Ben
Do you what the definition? Or that the tester thought the supplements significantly aided in recovery? His gains and body fat loses are normal with his change of diet and excercise route.
Jamie's Millers A Knob creatine monohydrate may work but I wouldn't use it. Look at when it came out and how many NZ rugby players had kidney issues after taking it.
In my 22 year life, this is the first media I've ever seen produced by Wales.

ph nation our language channel S4C is older than Scotlands Alba channel. Wales have been producing media content for donkeys ears. It's not our fault you can't speak the language

99% chance BF % were not accurate.
i have a feeling the used skinfold averages instead of using a dexa or stomething like that
closer to 20%
no way he was 12% bf at the start

His back and shoulder positions really changed, I think the training really fixed some weird posture issue he must have had
Had an umbilical hernia for years, still lifting fine. No need for the “just found my dog has cancer” soundtrack. You’ll live.
LordStraightBanana this had me busting up😂😂😂
LordStraightBanana 😂😂😂😂 my dog has cancer... lmao
I have one too and have never had any problems. Buttttt if it does pop out for whatever reason then ur kinda screwed for at least a few weeks.
Solid laugh out of that. Thanks mate!
Same here just gotta pop it back in init.
meh, the guy was in decent shape already with decent muscle mass across his arms, chest and shoulders.
Yes he had a higher than average muscle content but at the end you could see that he made good progress with his fat levels.
bro calm down. hes saying he is in decent shape compared to the rest of america, and thats pretty accurate. this guy is also pretty young though, which skews it but still.
don't worry about it

Translation: I promoted a bunch of supplements, did what appears to be a bunch of crossfit workouts and then made up my own bf% numbers.

Fuck those body fat percentages are shit, he is at best 15% on a good day
That’s not 12.7% bf lol

Or to do hydrostatic weighing, which requires the body to be submerged to measure body density. Or an MRI imaging. I didn't see any of that in the segment. They're probably off by as much as 5-6%.
There are people that store fat inside their muscles and organs and there are people that store it under their skin. 12.7 could be possible.
Celembar EN it’s like 25 percent
How? People look fatter than they are when they have less muscle mass
His % could be accurate but what would keyboard experts know about this. What research have you conducted in your expert opinion.
This is so real. I continued to train with minor sciatica and eventually blew out (literally demolished) one of my lumbar discs. Been 4 months and I am just starting to jog again.
How are you now ? If recovered , how ? Share your exercise routine please. Was there any supplement/medicine that particularly helped ?
Hope you're back at it 4 years later
good man, this was a concise yet informative video.

Great video. Im about to start training after 2 years off and this is eye opening so i will take it slow and listen to my body
Amazing results for such a short term. I’ve been training like them for the past 3 years and I got big af haha 😂
They showed all stats, but forgot to tell his height..
PC Gaming & Sports he’s very tall right I’m tall too
What beat/song is that at minute 3:14? Thanks in advance
No way he is 12% bodyfat at the beginning. At least 17-19%, maybe over 20%. Man people have no idea what bodyfat percentages look like.

Dava5rich end of the day abs show up at 14-15 bf no matter what. Guy looks 18 % at the start
then i guess the method of measuring was pure shit
Dava5rich yeah calipers are very inaccurate, not to mention human error
Before i started lifting i was 10% with no abs. It all depends on your body type.
I reckon I’ve got the eating part sorted. Especially the portions.
One step at a time though aye? Time for a beer.

Could you share your sessions? like your workouts.
what is the background music at about 0:40 its very nostalgic
Wouod have been interesting to find out what your split was/how training was structured and what your calories ans macros looked like
12.7 percent body fat..? come on
Christ are you trying to tell us that Adam Jones went through THAT taining!!!??? (And I am being sarcastic Jones was a great player)
What about impact conditioning? Definately has an effect on muscle density, and perhaps bone density.
Class!
It' easier when you're starting from scratch. Even a basic beginner workout will get a dad-bod looking more like a rugby player in 4 weeks
Will this diet and programme be released
???? indeed
Why would you want to train like this? He has hardly seen any results and is complaining about injuries all the time.
sumsar01 that was one heck of a transformation.
sumsar01 what the hell do you expect from four weeks of training?
Dik van Achteren that he actually gets stronger.
Yeah, because you totally need to take BCAAs and all those supplements to be a pro athlete. I totally need to take stuff that are in most cases useless especially if you are on a balanced diet with above average calorie intake.
Man you looked good even before training
6 weeks isnt enough for full results, but good video it does show progress.

Can you not see the difference in definition.
srs dude? his shoulders were obviously broader after the 6 weeks
Can’t wait to get ready for high school
well, this told me pretty much nothing.
Singley able to commit the time to it, but fair do's with all the supplements and expert advice it shows what can be done.
For someone who is running a 5 something a KM is already in incredible shape. At 12.2% body fat this should not be a big deal.
He was already in good shape
Great effort man but there’s absolutely no way your 11% body weight
One thing you said .. that your fat loss resulted in higher lean mass percentage but I think it’s more likely that you gained lean mass resulting in body fat percentage loss
Let us know yr program..
I want to know if he continued this whole session
how were u 12% in the beginning ??
In 480p??
You didn't elaborate on what the Game Day supplement had in it!
I think rugby players are the toughest athletes, most likely, in the world.
Wrestling is tougher
Obviously
Nice video it shows how players have to sacrifice and train . yeah he did not go on the field but still good stuff man
I bet 2 full body workout sessions of strength training a week and more time actually playing and practicing rugby would be a better approach.
Your supplemental training to your sport should never cause an injury.
You were more than 12.5% bodyfat at the start 😆
You wanna know what I do with pain? I rest it a little for 1-2 days and then start training the painful area
Wow you're cool
How much did you eat a day? What was your workout regiment? Cardio, how much?
Not a chance those body fat percentages are correct. Before I would say 18-20%, and after around 12-14%
Would of been a more interesting vid if you played a game before all the training did the 4 weeks of training and afterwards played another game and see the difference in your performance, anyone can follow a training regime.

It says after the 4 weeks you are 25, how old were you before the program?? Anyways well done

It is fucking amazing
Just checking whether he’s trying to say the hernia was induced by his training?... let me know pls anyone

The only supplement that helps you recover faster if you have a good diet is testosterone. Anything else is placebo effect.
troy kiri what is placebo affect
creatine monohydrate aids in that as well
Do you what the definition? Or that the tester thought the supplements significantly aided in recovery? His gains and body fat loses are normal with his change of diet and excercise route.

A placebo can raise testosterone. Studies show that changes to your psychology can boost testosterone.
no way that’s 12.7 percent body fat
I respect you had an injury so had to cut it short but don’t lie in the title and still say 6 weeks....
Springboks wont eat n drink like this as a rugby player ! they had biltong n beer after every game
Title is misleading as he could only manage 4 weeks .
