its absolutely true. I've stayed within 155-168lbs of bodyweight this entire year. in the beginning the most id ever touch on a deadlift was 225, and only for a few reps. now i can get 3 sets of 10 with 225 and am really close to hitting a 300lb PR.

Definitely true. When I started lifting I bulked right out of the gate and went from a skinny fat 178 to a puffy and not even strong 212. After trial and error and stumbling across proper programming I cut back down to 180 and increased all of my compound lifts by a lot. I still utilize a calorie surplus but in a much more structured way along with proper programming, it’s the only you’ll achieve your most advanced potential in the long run

Jarred Geis you could definitely hit 300 if you do 225 for 10, your projected max should be right at 300

If ur a naturally lean person and your lifting, slowly bulk until your natty potential for muscle mass is done with. Do mini cuts over that period of time too. Cutting no more than say 8-10 pounds ever. What I’m currently doing is getting to 225 at 5’10 by next fall to then cut to 215lbs at the same bodyfat I was when I was 200lbs. +15lbs muscle gain. Than hopefully I’ll be 221lbs, 224lbs, 226lbs and so on at my limit. At around mid teens bf.

Nick Collins Exactly what I’m doing. I’m 6’0 And look decently lean even at 207ish, plan to cut down to about 192-195 then slowly build back up again

He looks great @ 1:55 on the right.

YEAH THAT CURRENT LONG BEARD IS GROSS

Lol He looks like the guy who played thor

Who was rating it, and how was it “underrated?”

I agree 250 is your best weight. I know you're not as cut but your face looks too extreme without some flesh on it. Good videos man!

No, his beard and hair weighs.........1000 pounds

I understand that they're not the same, but going to the gym responsibly is a lot healthier than not going at all.

Not really. Bad form exercise can do more harm than good.

Tappajaav he says going responsibly

Good point. I can't read.

Can totally relate. Last weekend I took some photos and the app created a before and after and it's two different people. I'm not a big guy nor that muscular but I'm Ina healthy body weight.

I went to boot camp at 127 now I’m 167.00 going for 180 and then go from there see what I’m at

Hi Jordan ! Can you share me your ig name if you have one? I’ve got something to ask you

well done that’s amazing

You got this, mate

Nicely done man!

You’ve heeded skull knight’s warning struggler! Good job my dude!

You'll be glad that you did, you can do this!

Good job man

I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. Great job so far, and keep up the good work!

It's a Marine thing.

Cutting and bulking is a faster way to get there than recomp

@@juicythrax8992 You missed his point.

Agreed! I recently did a climbing course and the instructor told us he weighed over 100kgs, if he is able to send 7b and above then I don't think I need to worry too much about gaining a few kgs. Of course it matters at the elite level but I'm not likely to be tackling Silence any time soon.

Halibut Ceviché It’s also not really good for you.

Experience both positive and negative is valuable.

Yeah I did it once for only like 8 months and I permanently changed my chicken legs to decent quads. No matter how much weight I lose I don't think my quads will ever be that skinny again.

I believe it is the natural way for every young man to spend much of his teenage years and his early twenties eating a lot of food, putting on a lot of muscle mass, and becoming strong until he reaches fullsterkur/fullstyrka/full strength. Then he can be more concerned about being lean or whatever. You mustn't overdo it, but it's not worth it to worry about abs or whatever when you're young and getting big. I fall into this category myself still. I started at 19 and I'm nearing 21 now. I've been overtraining quite a bit because I love training so much that I don't notice until it's too late, so I've unfortunately had to take some time off, and I've spent some time cutting down as well, but I'm looking forward to improving my strength and becoming a bigger and stronger man with every passing day.

Hahaha gay

@James O'Connor omar isn't gay?!

Another cookie cutter comment by Omar. Wish he'd stop recycling his videos.

@James O'Connor You aren't only brother.

Oh wow you said 666 pathetic. What are you 15?

That's similar to what has happened to me. I was never slight in stature despite being skinny, however I've gained 30 pound in the last 15 months, probably 10-20 pounds of it muscle. I feel big, in my back, shoulders, arms, traps, etc. And a lot of people have noticed that didn't even know I was working out. Feels good man. About a month away from pulling 500, raw, conventional, stiff bar.

Stop lying

@@posthawk1393 Whacha pulling now?

@Adrijana Radosevic I personally tend to lean towards the chicks porking. Nevertheless, it wasn't always like that. In the past, I also failed into the trap of having extra weight to become stronger (for few months though) just as Alan mentioned. But soon I figured out that it wasn't worth it. Ever since then, I remain shredded and gain strength slowly. Therefore, I can't relate to the issues you are asking. But that's me. Others have different reasons like the ones you said. From my personal observations, having lived in many countries and worked out in different cultures, it seems this "being strong" obsession is mostly an US thing. Most people in other countries are going for hypertrophy while remaining relatively lean. Unless US, which they are really willing to get tons of pounds and even do the One Gallon of Milk a Day to push the strength gains. Quite crazy.

@Adrijana Radosevic It's been too long time to comment on your comment but I'll leave one anyway. Have you heard of Alexander Zass? I actually think usual methods of strength training don't develop tendons and the way people eat don't help with skeleton and tendon health, even the people training. Until what I know, Alexander develop his strength with isometrics, said to be a training for the tendons. I guess this is why some lifters need straps at higher lifts? Cartilage consumption an real calcium is out of fashion, but our body has a need for it in the form of gelatin from bone broth and pieces of bones cooked to the chewing point. To use the calcium the body will need other nutrients too like K2, magnesium, vitamin D, and A, that work in sinergy. By no means I'm saying that there is definetely a way for you to go up, but I definetely think there can be potential room for improvement if you never heard of this things and want to go after them.

his legs are too big for that lmao

byRoyalty they don’t call him Alan “thighs for the guys” Thrall for nothing.

@@byRoyalty shows how much bodybuilding distorts perception about what real strength is all about.

Nah, it's time for bodybuilding to step aside for strength training.

@@jonathandavis7592 Bodybuilding is not about real strength at all though.

u r one hot cop !
