    The next book is finally OUT!!!
    Really proud of how it turned out. It has completely NEW information, as I've learned quite a bit about training since the first one. It's focused on improving your hypertrophy-training process and CURB STOMPING plateaus. It includes an almost SEVEN HOUR audiobook FOR FREE, which I decided to record myself rather than outsourcing.
    Feedback has been excellent so far. I don't do sponsored videos or have ads on the channel (if you see them on this video they're from that 10 second Mummy clip😅😅😅) , so I GREATLY appreciate the support. I really is YOU who keeps the channel going!
    Can grab a copy below if it sounds like something you'd be interested in!

    This could actually be 100 separate videos. And maybe you should to drive the points home for those a little slow on the uptake. Make it a playlist, even. And with this as the pilot episode, so to speak.
    But yeah, excellent video. All points summed up very nicely in a one-stop-shop fashion. Could be a great reminder to watch once every blue moon for when all the internet hype has us doubting what we already know and practice.
    I find practical advice more motivating than the designed motivational videos with the vague quotes and the music and the same video clips of yesteryear's bodybuilders. The drive gotten from those videos fade fast. The inspiration from knowing what to do goes on and on.
    Keep up the good work.

    Phenomal list, man! You could teach a 100 day course on each point and get peeps jacked as fluff. But I will say, point 55 and 65 I have some mild disagreement with. I think certain prehab practices should be tended to with more time and regularity (but as you stated in another point, know why you’re doing what you’re doing). And stretching totally changed my lifting for the better (but again, knowing how to properly implement what, and how to incorporate them into a prehab/warmup is essential to not making these practices a waste). Also, thank you so much for mentioning me! Imma get on my list. Thanks for the vid, brother 💪🤓

      @@cronikvialo5463 YES! That’s largely what I’m getting at, but I must say, the benefit is more direct than one might think as these practices can allow you to move and perform better in your workouts, thus triggering more growth. It’s also great for injury prevention, and if you can’t train, you can’t gain! 💪🤓
