Yo fellas/girls! Quick heads up to anyone thinking of trying out the app: don't (yet)😄. We'll have a sale around Black Friday so you're better off waiting for that. Enjoy the video and lemme know if you have any bulk related questions in the comment. Let's converse 🤙😁
Any cardio plans throughout this? Seems unlikely during a dedicated bulk-type effort, but also keeping the heart healthy as you get older seems like a very JD thing to do. Low key healthy, and you don't exactly have to be Nick fucking Bare about it. Thank you for sharing! This is motivating!
Personal anecdote: I made the recomp of my life just now from 39 to (scary) 40. Lost 100 pounds of fat and gained a good amount of solid a$$ muscle. Went from turbo-obese to visible abs. And you were a big part in the success of that journey! Test decline due to age is way, way overrated. Feel like 25 tbh. Life style is a lot more important. A LOT. Long story short: good luck on the bulk, you can do it! 33 is no age, especially natty
If you live and eat healthy, avoiding alcochol, sugar and drugs your test will peak when you are 40 and i belive you could maintain a good amout of it till your 60. Great job tho
@@BagietkaYTofficall Honestly, sometimes it does feel like it. What I can say is that how good your sleep and recovery is as a factor a lot more important than age. Will see how it is with 60. I think the overrating of age comes from the pros on gear. But even then: Coleman won his last Olympia with 40 and Arnie looked great for T3 at 54. Natty you can rock well into your 70s as Manoar Aich had proven and he died at over 100. One of the worst things I ever believed was 10 years ago with 29/30 that it's too late - which was totally wrong. Now I just need to get proper shredded 😎
obviously eating in a calorie defecit but out of curiousity, did you do much hard cardio or just generally start moving more (walks / incline treadmill etc). I need to shift about 35pounds and im at a similar age to you and just feel like im getting fatter week on week
@@Andy01223 One of the biggest mistakes is to overrate cardio. Resistance training for muscle retention and diet for weight loss. Cardio is a bonus. If you are obese 30% bf+ go for a walk 30-60 min. Overweight: cycling/swimming, jogging only at 20% or below. Frequency depends on your job: from 0 times If you are a construction worker, to 4-6 times If you are a couch potato. Also choose cardio by enjoyment and sustainability. Weigh and log everything you eat, figure out your tdee, weigh yourself daily, lose 1-2 pounds/1% of bw per week. It will get harder the leaner you get. Body also needs diet breaks after large Chuncks of weight loss: 10 to 20kg steps to settle at new homeostasis. Felt drained at 118kg in January at 30ish percent, now too fat at 98kg and 20% with abs flexed.
@@Andy01223 One good tip is to just increase your physical movement during your daily activities. Get a step tracker watch or an app on your phone and see what your normal amount is, then try to increase it. 2k steps (or 1 mile) is usually about 100 cals burned for an average person. That way you don't have to dedicate a lot of time specifically to do cardio, can burn more calories while being productive, and can eat a little more. In my experience doing that so far I've lost 14lbs in 6 weeks. My maintenance normally is ~2100 but since I do 10k steps (mostly daily activity but sometimes dedicated walks) everyday my maintenance is ~2500-2600ish. I eat 1500-1600 every day and drop 2ish lbs per week. Hope that helped!
I just turned 40. Have been doing weightlifting seriously for about 2 years now, my second anniversary being this past April. I'm now in the best shape of my life. My back is insane! I'm even getting a v-taper! I've long seen this type of back in magazines. But now I see it in my mirror! It always amazes me that I was able to do that. I should've done it sooner, honestly. ANYWAY...this is a long way of saying--wanting to bulk at 33 is not taboo. I wanna do it now and I'm about 5 months away from 41. Never done it before. Now that I have my diet in good working order, I wanna see what types of muscle gain I get by getting a little tubby with healthy macros. And then slimming down in the spring. Wish me luck!
You got this. Stoked to learn along with you Ps. I think I speak for all of us when I say that your natty bulk progress wouldn’t make for a boring watch. We’d be on board for updates
New subscriber. Been binging the vids. Feel like this is the channel I need. No fluff like some of the others. Motivated me to get back on the horse, and properly this time. Determined to make it count. Cheers fella.
Whoa, dude, your muscles are seriously impressive! It's clear you've been putting in the sweat and grind at the gym. Keep crushing those workouts and motivating the rest of us💪💯
I'm 60 and have been on a cut for 10 months and am down to 16% BF and can see my abs. After I lose a few more more lbs, I'm starting a lean bulk 😂. It's never too late!😅
Incredible video! Great work. 2:33 So good to see you do this exercise as I recently added these to my program and to see it has your seal of approval is quite awesome to know. Front foot elevated Bulgarian split squat is an amazing exercise. It does wonders for my quads and glutes with the super deep stretch at the bottom and great stimulus to fatigue ratio and I love to use it as light variation to complement my main squatting movement. 💪👍🙏
I started lifting 3 years ago. Got some great results from re-comping and cutting for a while, then just resorted to maintenance. Did another cut earlier this year. Looked great. That said, in the 3 years I have lifted I never once did a proper bulk. I regret not doing it sooner. So, I started my first legit bulk a month ago. I'm looking pretty thick already. Gained 6 pounds. I figured my newbie gains are long gone. Good luck, mate.
Just came across your channel - great content, my friend. Take it from an older guy - the words "bulk" and "cut" have some psychological effects that you've explained pretty well here. Though someone might call what I did last year a "bulk" - I always think about it as "eating with purpose." Whether that's a small surplus with carefully balanced protein and fat (like you're doing now), or a mild deficit with the components needed to retain as much muscle as possible - you're ALWAYS "eating with purpose". Best of luck with this next "building" phase for your physique!
Great video Joe. I'm sure many guys struggle with choosing whether to bulk or maintain. I too have struggled with this over the years. Your reasoning makes total sense. I'm curious to know how long you expect to be in this phase for? I'm guessing it depends on how you look but I'm sure you have a rough idea
Love the treating a bulk like a cut mentality. Currently trimming down to pre-bulk BF but do have some concern about the flood gates opening and moving 1 step forward, 2 steps back with the aesthetics. My only ever bulk was years ago in my teens and I didn’t understand any of this shit. Think for me keeping track is the only way to stay reliable, for now.
Hey Joe, I'm on 8th week of your program and I've never been so happy with the results of any program i have tried before!, 💪 Full body training split was really what my body was looking for!
Joe, similar demographics as you, turning 33 soon and have been consistently training 5x a week for about 15 years. I generally hang out at 10% BF at 165lbs. decided to commit to a bulk. I am currently in the timeframe right now where I haven’t gained a “significant“ amount of weight (about 9 pounds) but it’s made a significant impact on the way I look. my abs are considerably faded. this is a very tough mental roadblock to overcome. you are adding some strength at the gym, and feel better mentally with increased calories, but the feeling of looking “out of shape” is very difficult to overcome. I will push through, and will cap myself at a total gain of 15lbs. I command you do the same. my 32 years old reasoning for “getting bigger” was a slight calorie maintenance increase.
the abs disappearing is hard. I have my lines but a little pouch on my lowers now but my strength has greatly improved and I feel great I've been slowly adding calories to my diet. I know I can cut but bulking was A LOT harder mentally for me. Especially when I started because I just ate anything I wanted to my detriment of course.
I found the identical text and became concerned that a) my photoshop job was too good and b) people would then think I edited the other conversation too 😂
Hey Joe. Greetings from Germany. Your vids are always so refreshing. Mainly because they are structured so different and the „pokerface humor“. Have you already dealt with a lot of critic regarding your ESN sponsorship? The brand polarizes the fitness community a bit. It is basically team „ESN is the best“ versus „overprized and overmarketed“ (a bit like Apple). Cheers, looking forward to your results as a fellow 30 plus ex-athlete!
Thank u for your content sir, i'm 52 years old and bulking for the last time to get a few Kg on my body before going for life on maintainence. GOOD LUCK JOE.
We agree with your decision! Years of routine training and diet can get you far but not so far because it gets you in a circle. Even if you try really hard every session, it is within the limit you set yourself.
Dude, I'm looking forward to my first bulk at age 52! Been cutting for a year solid, lost 20kg. Now 5kg going back on with heavy training to try and build muscle. Late to the party!
I feel like recomping is your body rewarding you for allowing it to achieve homeostasis. Everytime I've been in this window of calories in/out I saw very slow but very definite improvements in my physique
This is brilliant! I’m doing the same thing you are as a 34 year old myself. I’ve seen enough science saying anything above .8 Grams per pound is optimal for protein that on a lean bulk I’d rather have additional carbs or fats!
2 years ago, overweiught, 25% body fat, may be more. Borderline type 2 diabetes, knee joint problems, overall, extremely poor state. Now, aged 51, after combining daily gym work with daily walks (long, brisk ones), I am fitter than I have been in a long time; with a better physique than when I was in the very early 20s and was working out. Harder work as energy levels aren't the same, but at the same time; have increased energy levels by this regime. And sleep is better also. Thanks for the vids. Lots alwasy to think about and learn from. Keep them coming.
keep the grind my guy!! its because of people like you that I actually cant stop grinding and love it!! at my 60's its a life goal to still have a 6 packs and great shape. Take care
I'm 42, never've been better. In terms of bodybuilding experience is key. I'ven been into sports since I was a child (swimming, traithlon, football etc) and lifting weighs since 2011. It's true I'm not thinking about bulking -cutting because wouldn't be a smart move having a 6 years old daqughter, sleeping 6 hour max etc..not the best ingridients to hace a bulking sicces hahahaha but I stay in good shape and that's enough
I was gonna say you had more gains in the tank sense you've never been on a consistent bulk. Just stay with the small surplus and you'll definitely make progress ✊🏾 Also, forearms and neck are another group you could probably get some gains on if you haven't trained them already
Great video and interesting for me as I am 46 and currently coming to the end of a cut (at 184 lbs from 212 - I want to get down to 175-180). Then attempting a bulk. In the past I have just got fat when bulking, so am doing it properly this time and tracking everything!!
I tried my first bulk after an injury at age 37. I took a rib punch at boxing that popped my lung and was advised to stop exercise until healed, leaving me a weak little sausage. I pushed my calories up but ate very well, and focused on hypertrophy. I actually failed to put on any weight but my body composition seriously improved, went back to boxing, got fit, lung popped again
Thanks for the insight and inspiration 😁 I’m on board with the bulk! no better time to start than right now 😋 So what is your macrosplit between protein fat and carbs?
You kept going on about feeling daft starting a bulk at 33. Meanwhile I start one tomorrow and I'm 36 😅 Tried a few in the past and never really worked out. Mostly psychological of "you're getting fat!" so I'm going into it more cautiously this time. Just increasing slightly for the first month and see how it goes then re-evaluate. Figure worse comes to worse the first month will be maintenance.
Hi Joe, great video as always! I wanted to ask you what kind of periodization do you use in your training programs? Is it undulating periodization and have you ever used block periodization? I would really appreciate your answer. Thank you!
Every time I watch one of this guy videos ... every time ... like every single time ... I ask myself, how in the fricking world Joe doesn't have at least 2 millions subscribers and an average of at least 7 to 1 million views every single video ? Man love your content keep it up 💪
Probably because sensationalism and clickbait sells and Joe is just keeping it real. Don't know if people still say 'keeping it real' but you get my point.
You have a crazy physique and I’m no where near your level but I think you can honestly gain a lot more muscle. I’ve been watching a lot more of the noble natties, and Alex Leonidas gained a good amount of size in 2 years. I watched his 2 year old body transformation and I was amazed how much size he has now compared to then. I think you can try a bear a mode for a bit, and I also know you are getting older which is another factor but I think missing out a bit.
I would recommend splitting the extra cals between carbs & fats, there seems to be a unique response for building muscles where carbs seem to influence gh & provide another pathway for growth, feel free to check out the studies.
Il be following this. Prepare for the unavoidable onset of the dad bod Joe. At 43 with 3 kids , constantly tired & full time career , i promise… it gets harder to shift that bulk weight. For me a Lean bulk is almost impossible as im a glutinous little shit and i end up 20lb heavier in 6 months 🤦🏻♂️😂. Best of luck with it.
Can i get your opinion on my diet? And maybe suggest any add ons to it? Thank you if you can now worries if you can’t. Thank you for your videos. Iam currently only eating ground turkey, chicken breast, some red meat, salmon, rice,cottage cheese, fruits, carrots, some broccoli, egg whites, low fat yogurt with bran/protein flakes, almonds, cashews, avocados, protein shake, 72% dark chocolate chips for desert, only drinking water, and using a pre workout drink for gym days. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

would you ever get a hair transplant?
Let me know if you need new/fresh music for your vids! No real reason because I feel your vid style is ideal af but if you're interested!
what a stand up dude

been using it for last 6months its great app
Joe Delaney is my hero
Joe looks 3 years older than 2020
As an asian, I would say he looks very good and healthy for a westerner at his age.
curious, looking into it.
Almost 4 years older I would say
I’ve noticed that too, he definitely looks like 6 years older than in 2017
That's a keen eye you have there my friend

Thank you. Enjoying it loads 😁
Congrats on the baby guys, all the best 👍🇨🇦
Yes Joey D!! I'd love to see you vlog a full 6-12 month bulk
Congrats on being a new dad! I'm excited to see you keep up your fitness while having a kid. You're a HUGE example for dad's now 🙌

That’s a classic Joey D video. Bloody hilarious AND informative! 💪🏻👍🏻
Trust the bulk‼️😤 I believe in you
I've been waiting years for this moment. Let the gainz begin lad!
looking forward to new bulk content and meal prep recipes or diet vids man!!!
Yes finally!! You will look better!!

Thanks for the inspiration man
Good bro been hoping you would do this. Would definitely like to see an update in a few months time!
your video style and speech manner are so amusing, very nice and entertaining, yet also informative
Great video bro. You should do some longer form stuff (I.e. a podcast)
Good luck! You had me laughing a few times love the dry humour take care
I wish you luck in your quest sire.

SHRED BUNDY BULK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, cant wait to see the next videos man. This was great
Let’s go man! I believe you can build some more muscle if you put in your mind to it and take it slow!
your physique at the beginning is peak brother - and congrats!
proper sick vid m8 cheers
Good luck Joey 💚 Currently in the midst of a lean bulk myself. Hopefully end up at half your current size.
I definitely wish you have luck, Joe. Happy bulking :D
Joey D can turn a seemingly serious & formal topic about his own bulk and make it funny as hell. Had my attention the whole time, well done
Fatherrrrr!
Where have i been. Congratulations and letsss gooooo dad bod they say. Looking 🔥 brother keep doing what you do 💯
Good luck!!
Love the treating a bulk like a cut mentality. Currently trimming down to pre-bulk BF but do have some concern about the flood gates opening and moving 1 step forward, 2 steps back with the aesthetics. My only ever bulk was years ago in my teens and I didn’t understand any of this shit. Think for me keeping track is the only way to stay reliable, for now.
bulking is harder than cutting

Don't worry too much, at 165lbs you're hardly going to be turning heads anyway, bulk‐on. 👍

I know I can cut but bulking was A LOT harder mentally for me. Especially when I started because I just ate anything I wanted to my detriment of course.
Your joke with ESN dm'ing is way too good for how subtle it was 😅
I found the identical text and became concerned that a) my photoshop job was too good and b) people would then think I edited the other conversation too 😂
Would be nice to see a video running through the new supplements your using and the benefits and needs for them in your daily routine etc..
No other gets me laughing and enjoying the treadmill more than you man! Thanks for the top tier quality content 😂👌🏻
Hey Joe. Greetings from Germany. Your vids are always so refreshing. Mainly because they are structured so different and the „pokerface humor“.
Have you already dealt with a lot of critic regarding your ESN sponsorship? The brand polarizes the fitness community a bit. It is basically team „ESN is the best“ versus „overprized and overmarketed“ (a bit like Apple). Cheers, looking forward to your results as a fellow 30 plus ex-athlete!
Thank u for your content sir, i'm 52 years old and bulking for the last time to get a few Kg on my body before going for life on maintainence. GOOD LUCK JOE.
All the best mate!
Absolutely PERFECT musculature
Not heard a reference to dreamer bulk for some time. Love it
Joe - I’m 33 myself and have been watching your vids since the start of my journey in 2018
Let’s bulk together my brother💪🏼
We agree with your decision!
Years of routine training and diet can get you far but not so far because it gets you in a circle. Even if you try really hard every session, it is within the limit you set yourself.
Dude, I'm looking forward to my first bulk at age 52! Been cutting for a year solid, lost 20kg. Now 5kg going back on with heavy training to try and build muscle. Late to the party!
Loled at 'cause fuck it' being the entire pro column for reasons to bulk. A philosophy to love by!
Been following since 2016 and I have to say this is one of, if not, your most impressive physiques.
Good luck, buddddy
I feel like recomping is your body rewarding you for allowing it to achieve homeostasis. Everytime I've been in this window of calories in/out I saw very slow but very definite improvements in my physique

Hi Joe, congratulations on being a father. You are going to be a great one.
Incredibly interested on the process. Man, you know what you are doing. And I would also like to 🙃
Need an update video on your experience chasing the natural high mate. Would be a top tier follow up video for sure.
Yeah, thinking about it...
Great video
I'm 40 and currently doing a cut. Life doesn't stop after 30.
Glad you said this, because I'm 40 too and I'm stronger than I've ever been...better than I was in my 20s.
keep the grind my guy!! its because of people like you that I actually cant stop grinding and love it!! at my 60's its a life goal to still have a 6 packs and great shape. Take care
I'm 42, never've been better. In terms of bodybuilding experience is key. I'ven been into sports since I was a child (swimming, traithlon, football etc) and lifting weighs since 2011.

33 is still very young
Do you tailor plan differently for a cut or is it all diet?
you're one of the goats Joe, thanks for helping this 34 year old with his bulk.
Very smart guy. Healthy, aesthetic goals and sustainable goals for rest of a persons life.😊
Good luck 🎉
I was gonna say you had more gains in the tank sense you've never been on a consistent bulk. Just stay with the small surplus and you'll definitely make progress ✊🏾
Also, forearms and neck are another group you could probably get some gains on if you haven't trained them already
You have the legit perfect body size, bloody insane!
Great video and interesting for me as I am 46 and currently coming to the end of a cut (at 184 lbs from 212 - I want to get down to 175-180). Then attempting a bulk. In the past I have just got fat when bulking, so am doing it properly this time and tracking everything!!
You don't need to bulk or cut. You look fucking amazing already.
Finish the natural high series please!
Congrats on being a father Joe! Hope the bulk goes well, will be following the journey. And mate I thought you were mid 20s to be fair lmao
I tried my first bulk after an injury at age 37. I took a rib punch at boxing that popped my lung and was advised to stop exercise until healed, leaving me a weak little sausage. I pushed my calories up but ate very well, and focused on hypertrophy. I actually failed to put on any weight but my body composition seriously improved, went back to boxing, got fit, lung popped again
Thanks for the insight and inspiration 😁 I’m on board with the bulk! no better time to start than right now 😋
So what is your macrosplit between protein fat and carbs?
Decide also to train like a mad man. Go to failure more often and let out a few more power grunts 🔥
Can you do a proper sit down Q&A soon. I feel like it's well overdue.
Hell yeah brother
Nice. Totally agree that bulking can actually be more challenging than cutting.
You a g Joe
All i can say is.... Good Luck Joe. Show us the Absolute unit you can become : )
thick joe is coming up ladies and gents!!!!
I bet lots of your fans would like it to be a series 😁
Awesome 👏💪👍
You kept going on about feeling daft starting a bulk at 33. Meanwhile I start one tomorrow and I'm 36 😅
Tried a few in the past and never really worked out. Mostly psychological of "you're getting fat!" so I'm going into it more cautiously this time. Just increasing slightly for the first month and see how it goes then re-evaluate. Figure worse comes to worse the first month will be maintenance.
Hi Joe, great video as always! I wanted to ask you what kind of periodization do you use in your training programs? Is it undulating periodization and have you ever used block periodization? I would really appreciate your answer. Thank you!
Every time I watch one of this guy videos ... every time ... like every single time ... I ask myself, how in the fricking world Joe doesn't have at least 2 millions subscribers and an average of at least 7 to 1 million views every single video ?
Man love your content keep it up
💪
Probably because sensationalism and clickbait sells and Joe is just keeping it real. Don't know if people still say 'keeping it real' but you get my point.
Welcome to the Father club man!!
The only guy I can stand to watch regarding training, so down to earth and realistic... and non american
Joey’s doing gods work with a bulk. It goes to a good cause-IG double digit likes. Fixing the world. One problem at a time.
good luck 💪📈🫡
My man Joe took my advice
You have a crazy physique and I’m no where near your level but I think you can honestly gain a lot more muscle. I’ve been watching a lot more of the noble natties, and Alex Leonidas gained a good amount of size in 2 years. I watched his 2 year old body transformation and I was amazed how much size he has now compared to then. I think you can try a bear a mode for a bit, and I also know you are getting older which is another factor but I think missing out a bit.
You fckn jacked bro!!!! Wtf? Natural idol
I would recommend splitting the extra cals between carbs & fats, there seems to be a unique response for building muscles where carbs seem to influence gh & provide another pathway for growth, feel free to check out the studies.
Yep, that's what I intend to do (I think I put that on the screen at one point)
Il be following this. Prepare for the unavoidable onset of the dad bod Joe. At 43 with 3 kids , constantly tired & full time career , i promise… it gets harder to shift that bulk weight. For me a Lean bulk is almost impossible as im a glutinous little shit and i end up 20lb heavier in 6 months 🤦🏻♂️😂. Best of luck with it.
im 32 and this video has popped into my feed at the perfect time
Класний чувак, гарна подача контенту. Окремо хочеться відзначити акцент, приємно слухати.
Can i get your opinion on my diet? And maybe suggest any add ons to it? Thank you if you can now worries if you can’t. Thank you for your videos.
Iam currently only eating ground turkey, chicken breast, some red meat, salmon, rice,cottage cheese, fruits, carrots, some broccoli, egg whites, low fat yogurt with bran/protein flakes, almonds, cashews, avocados, protein shake, 72% dark chocolate chips for desert, only drinking water, and using a pre workout drink for gym days.
Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again.
