Here is a mini review of the first week I did so far. Do be fair to Ryan, I won't mention the exercises that I did. The first thought that came to my mind when I first glanced at the sets that I had to do was " damn that is A LOT of repetitions ". For those that have been watching Ryan for quite some time, you know. But here is the catch, it was hella fun and it pushed me to the edge. I have been going to the Gym for about 5 years now and the reason I bought the course is because I had implemented some of Ryan's exercises into my workouts and it they clicked really well. Not disappointed at all. Day 1 Arms = Noticed my Triceps actually swelling up, loved it. Day 2 Shoulders = Ouch ( in a good way ) Day 3 Back = This has to be one of the best days in the course, either that or I simply connected a lot with it. Seriously, really fkn good. Day 4 Chest abs = Same as the back day, really really good. Also, fuck TRX ABS ( I still did em ) Day 5 Legs = I had trouble walking down the stairs, I don't think I need to say more. Over all, it is 20 bucks, really REALLY well structured. Contains a video AND written instructions - insanely easy to follow along and nothing that an ordinary gym does not have. I can highly suggest Ryan's course so far and I hope that the upcoming weeks will as good as this one.

Doing “feel sets” at the the start of each exercise is a game changer. I know Ryan’s style of fitness has really changed my workouts. His new program is insane!!!

This video should be the "sticky" video on your homepage, Ryan. Seriously, the mind-muscle connection is the big takeaway for me. It's astonishing how I could go into the gym so often and just go through the motions. Other muscle groups jump in, you depend on momentum or let the tendons do the reps. Crazy. When I make the muscle work and feel it working in every rep, the results are... well tbh, painful, but also glorious. You know when you feel the muscle's soreness all the next day or for several days that your workout was effective. Thanks, Ryan!

This is quickly becoming my favorite channel. Ryan has a point of view that is really helping me to make gains again. I’d put this channel right up there with the mountain dog himself.

"if you can't bench 135... you're a piece of shit." lmaooo. subbed.

Just finished the 30 day garage style program yesterday. Lost 9 lbs of fat and I’m looking more muscular. Gonna do it all over again just because I was really impressed with the results. Thanks Ryan, these workouts kicked my ass, but I can’t get enough of them. This is the 3rd training program I’ve tried from KZfaq and the best so far. It’s really not for beginners so I could see why you’ve gained a few “influencer” haters. Anyway, keep up the great content. I’ll be checking out your 30 day gym program next month.

Back when I used to lift, around 20-years ago, I started each exercise off with the lowest weight possible. For example, if I was benching I'd do 10 slow reps with just the bar, for exactly this reason. I got the idea from a Nasser el Sonbaty interview in Flex. Proper technique is so much more important than how much weight you're lifting.

Nice to know I was taught properly, always warmed up with light weight or even an empty bar and just did really controlled continuous reps with occlusion bands, focusing on form. I would go to failure then take the bands off and straight into 5-10 reps of whatever weight my trainer decided to punish me with. He did this to me for every exercise once a week for one hour, in 9 months I'd dropped from 123kg body weight to 85kg, BMI from 24% to 8% stacked on 18kg of muscle. Had me leg pressing 350kg PB Benching 140kg PB Deadlift 230kg PB Then through my own competitive stupidity royally Fkd myself and popped out three ribs from my sternum completely and tore my rotator cuff which put me out for almost a year. Got back on it last week and Ryan dude you're motivating me more than ever. Getting after it!

I would like to thank you Ryan, because after following your videos - I have already noticed the muscle build. However, having a metabolism from hell itself, I train until I "feel it" (no pain - no gain), but the vid's you provide have been giving me the best results so far. What I do for a living? Well, could call me a warehouse worker, I move a lot of boxes in different sizes and they all weigh different. Thus, the need for me to workout is almost a must, without strength - I can't do what I want to do..

This is great to hear. Some days i feel like an idiot fuckin around on different machines and free weights trying to figure out what feels best. Rather than bang out old bullshit. Never fails after these workouts im sore AF.

The thing about fitness videos and guys on the Internet is you all might argue and disagree with one another... but you're all jacked! So, the way I see it, you must all be doing something right.

The old 135 pound prove your manhood bench test…I remember that. Good times😂

I think personally you should keep doing you with the variations. I love them and feel like it’s much needed for us who are still trying to figure out what works best to grow

Great comment on phases… how about the 55 plus phase where our younger workouts felt great and now you feel like a wounded dog after a bad night of sleep. Ryan, love the information and comedy… put a common sense workout on that accommodates us older guys.

Manual mix of comedy and real deal physical training is the s***! Learn so many different techniques that really boost up the knowledge and the gains....keep the fire coming

Ryan has absolutely changed my regime and has made me fall in love with training all over again. Also, I have never gotten such amazing results in such a short time! Lots of love but also, I yell his name when I have to sit on the throne after leg day!!!

I’ve been in the gym for 24 years, your advice is right on. I’ve learned this myself over the years. Your advice has brought back connections I haven’t made in years. Thanks by the way.

So true. My workout changes based on what exercises I'm actually connecting with. I used to just try and push weight and never really connected. It's all about that connection and you actually see results. He's right about seeing the same people doing the exact same thing and never looking any different.

One thing I really wanted to see was A Ryan Humiston/John Meadows collab. I always felt that as far as training style that you both believed similarly. Your comedy with his genuine sincerity would have made a great video. I’m sorry that we won’t ever get that on KZfaq.RIP to one of the greatest bodybuilding minds and souls this sport has ever seen #Johnmeadows

This is the first video I watch from this guy... I'm gonna keep watching

"Fight for the connection...", the thing we've got to do in every aspect in life (muscles, partner, kids, people, work... Coz you're doomed if got none!

great info and had me laughing "crumpled up piece of sh*t" "eff it's hot in here" lol.

I'd like to start off by saying there was a video I had watch awhile ago of yours. You talked about getting blood work done and also having the lab check your hormone levels. I requested that, with my last blood work and glad I did. Turns out my testosterone was only at half of what it should be at. My doctor now has me on testosterone for the next 90 days to see how it all goes. Thank you very much for all you do to help improve people's health.

To an outsider, it does seem like you're reinventing the wheel. I used to be that ahole who always did the same exercises, the same form, rinse and repeat. You taught me how to stop being a robot and focus on the connection, and the 8 weeks or so have been awesome! I was strong before, but I didn't really grow. Now I'm growing significantly for the first time in my life 😂 and I'm old asf now

Congrats Ryan! Almost 1 million subs I remember subbing at 150,00 subs back in March of 2020

actually this is so true.. i thought i was nuts when i had the same mindset 30 years ago.. just focus on what your mind feels good with that connection

Just bought the gym workout. Can't wait to fuck myself up. Wish I had seen Ryan earlier. His roasting is the best.

Makes perfect sense to me. If you're connecting doing that variation, go for it and make it hurt. I can personally attest to the "concentrate on the flex" concept. I did a Russian kettlebell instructor course a while back, and they taught a "hard style" technique where you focus on really engaging those muscles all the way through a movement. It will get the you "connecting" with those exercises, and really getting a lot out of your workouts. Also makes you realism that people doing a "five minute plank" without literally exploding aren't really doing a plank. They just took five minutes deciding that they don't really wanna do those pushups they've been contemplating.

I have to say I respect a certain comment you put out there. Some guys do the same things week in and week out and still look the same as they did five years ago. I like a lot of your info and watch your channel regularly, although I am afraid of so many reps, but I still incorporate a lot of the technics into my routines. Keep it up you ha e Greta content and I leave so much from you and am encouraged to make connection each time. Thanks

Dude, you rock. I just started lifting with my husband about a year and a half ago, but he's been at it for 25 years and he tells me the same stuff you do and this stuff seriously works! You're dead on, unlike so many dumbasses on here that are the equivalent to the "unsolicited advice asshole" at everyone's gym. It makes me wonder why people even take advice on strength training or mass building from a dude that resembles a 12yr old boy. Makes no sense to me, but glad we found your channel and keep doing what you're doing. It's fanfuckingtastic!

The old Joe Weider book of bodybuilding used to call this the instinctive training principle. I am sure he learned this from the great Bob Hoffman who called it the irregular training system, and then Weider changed the name of it, to take credit for it of course. Nothing is really new under the Sun.

That's what works for me I get to the gym and see how I feel and see what's available on that day and then map out my workout. Certain excercises get dropped or sets added depending on connection. I have one excercise I focus on for each group to progressive overload on to keep track of in some way for strength but for the most part it's all by feel. I still build plenty of muscle and strength and progress more than most that do a set and wait 5 minutes or talk on their phone for 2 hours and I'm done in 45 min!

YEAH FINALLY 👏🏼💪🏼 I ALWAYS try to do this, I call it improv on the fly, and it's for me way easier to do on upper body.

Besides the great knowledge and results I have gotten from Ryan, his selection of shoes for working out is phenomenal, great for posture, lifting and all other forms

Hiya Fuzz face, hello from England, last time I went drinking with a Canadian was New York 78 and we fell of the bar stools at around 3am I was impressed with him he knew his limits. Great Videos but what about us over 60s....Come on fuzz ball you can do it

I agree with you about striving to make a connection, or placing your focus your mind in the muscle.

I'm big fan of yours. Your Techniques are phenomenal. People would be wise to learn from you. You're a good man for sharing with us.

You're fucking great !! Mind-muscle biggest thing there is. People look at me like I'm weak with what I'm lifting and wonder how I look way I do !

Ryan every sense I have started watching I grow a little bit mentally. I appreciate these videos they do help me to understand what to do and how to do it. And I never understood connection until you started explaining it.

I was waiting for the workout plan to update, when he said that monday will be another horrible arm workout like last week, i started smiling. That f§cker got me hooked. Great workout program, been getting a Semi everytime I think about it. Get after it, get growing.

coach greg finally made a video about you. yall are my fav fitness dudes. TOP 10 ANIME CROSSOVERS EVER

Lol, that fuck it's hot came right as I was thinking that you're sweating bit much there

Best KZfaqr out there, love ur stuff Ryan

this guy is awsome.. i never get tired of his content.. if he made a movie id go see it

Love this guy. Straight to the point every time and with lots of knowledge sprinkled with so comic bits as well.

I love his new course!! His garage program was nice but this is a different level!

Stay safe Ryan - stay clean.

Ryan I've been following since my friend's at my gym told me about you I love the workouts & different styles I have to say drag curls are my favorite now 💪😁

I believe the mind/muscle connection is THE most important factor in muscle growth. Not necessarily how much weight.

U got me on the batting cages setup, I had to subscribe

After I get my cupping treatments, I tell everyone I was attacked by a giant octopus.

Some of my buddies at the gym used to find it amusing that I do my sets with my eyes closed, and no audio devices either. I tell them cause it's the only way I can make a connection cause I'm easily distracted.

Mate you are one twisted sick puppy:))) keep up the totally bent workouts bloody good on ya! ha ha ha love it...

I love the novice lifter joke where you still need supervision cuz you un-rack too much weight on one side and the bar flips off! Hahaha 😁 been there

Made it through the first two days of the full gym program….LOVE IT, great job, only you’re cheating yourself. It’s worth waaaaay more than $20. And oh, I started doing bus drivers after following one of your other shoulder videos, and now bus drivers are my favorite exercise! Your shoulder workouts are fantastic, I’m finally seeing growth doing your workouts. Keep up the great work Ryan, much appreciated.

Let's Gooooooooooooo Guys 💥💥💪💪

I find it amusing that every Ryan Humiston video I watch now has a minoxidil hair growth ad at the end 😂😂😂

I always thought this was just a given. I go in with a plan every session, do a 'feeler' set for whatever exercise to see how my muscles are connecting. If it doesn't feel like it should I just switch exercises. Some days the go-to exercises don't connect for whatever reason. I notice it more with biceps than anything. I haven't been feeling as much activation on barbell and dumbbell curls, so have been doing cable curls and that lights them up.

I'd hire this guy. You rock man

Value connection over everything else and don’t stick to a plan if it does not work. Joe welders instinctive training

Love your take on different excercises. We're all different and what you have for ideas is awesome!

I've been doing this since I started watching your videos. Some days the exercises that usually get me a great connection just don't do it so I change what I'm doing. Seems simple enough but I never did it before I just kept with the plan even if it didn't do what I wanted it to. Great content.

I have to say what you do is definitely not overkill. There’s certain things you do I just physically can’t do (thanks arthritis) so having multiple options to work one muscle is great. Keep doing what you’re doing 👍🏻

That was the most awesome explanation of your bruises I've ever heard. 🤣🤣🤣

100%%, gotta do this every time! I never know what I want when I walk in through the doors

One of the best gym workout routines! Ryan you’re a beast, thanks for the tips 💯🙌🏼💪🏼

Your the go to video every time

Looking forward to seeing the next 3 weeks pop up in the 30 day full gym program.

Great stuff. Similar to Mind to Muscle in Heavy Duty.

U aré right the little changes help I’ve been working out for over 25 years on and off and most results I’ve seen is since I started learning

I think you make a lot of sense. Not exactly how I'd train but I can respect it.

There are a million of these KZfaq Swolebois, but Ryan is by far my favorite.

The “What’s cupping?” story had me rolling

R.I.P. John Meadows

I’ve been telling ppl for years when thy ask me what are you working today always with a dissatisfied take away I tell em I’m thinking legs but I might do chest maybe arms because if I don’t have it for one body part I move to the next and see what I’m feeling

Hi Ryan , im a 2 years into bodybuilding beginner , i've shown great results in everything but my biceps . It is because every single workout the brachioradialis gets in the way , no matter what range what elbow position , i do get a little pump in the heads but at the expense of a harsh burnout in the brachio , to the point where they are the strongest part of my arm now , ((popeye)).

Hey man I've seen you for while, i got to say you remind me my old brother who introduce me to bodybuilding and he use the same techniques as you do in basically everything its unreal, i really enjoy the information you had given to me and let me tell the results im getting are insane. Keep up the awesome work you doing all the best buddy

Really enjoyed you walking through the ideas behind the decisions you make Helps me organise my own ideas

variety with intention is key. and it also keeps your training fresh. 🙂

Very well said sir about this topic and keep it up and keep training hard and be strong always sir and stay safe and stay healthy and be happy and positive always sir

So just for the record! I believe what you do, your videos and instructions are awesome, I'm learning something new out of earth video.

I like the idea of feeling it out first.

I have a question, so I’ve always been off and on about working out but now I’m actually really committing myself to it, for a week and a half I’ve been working out everyday Monday - tricep and chest, with a hour on the treadmill and core Tuesday -core and a hour of treadmill Wednesday - bicep and back with core and a hour of treadmill Thursday - core and a hour of treadmill Friday - legs, core and a hour of treadmill Saturday - core and hour of treadmill Sunday - core and hour of treadmill And then I repeat the cycle. I’m 18, 6,1 and 190ibs I’m trying to cut some fat but also tone up putting on muscle. I’ve started s new diet routine, In the morning I begin with 2 eggs, yogurt and a few blueberries, then I work out typically if not at night, then about 2-3 hours later I have my second meal of a protein shake consisting of ice, peanut butter, some fruit, protein powder, and cranberry juice. Then for lunch I eat a peanut butter jelly sandwich and for dinner I eat whatever is for dinner but in a low portion. I was wondering if what I’m doing so far is the right way of doing things to lose body fat but gain muscle

This entire video is relatable in my 20 years of lifting even the random comments lol fucking my legs fell asleep on the toilet

Hahaha I’ve been trying to get the girl to the batting cages since they’ve opened, you’re the king

Love this guy!!

You're training way is very legendary Ryan

Ryan, I hope you can find your way on to the joe rogan podcast at some point. Would love to see you guys go at it over plant vs animal proteins.

Outside of John feorce he is my favorite fitness tuber

Great advice! I have been doing this for years, mainly because it allows me to keep going when I want to quit. This strategy gives results, quickly.

I have the force USA G12 machine and can do most of your exercises with this equipment. I also have a set of dumb Bells that goes up to 50 pounds. But I don't have the machine fly. Was wondering what I can do as an alternative to the machine fly.

Love these videos! Super entertaining motivating and solidly informative

helped me heaps mate thankyou

Aye Ryan just want to say you helped me out a lot. You make more sense than these other fitness assholes and I wish I would have found you sooner. Thx bruh

I had about 3 friends who leveled up from “piece of shit” to “bro” in a few months basically saying benching 115-135-175-195-225

“Take a few first before you start taking heaters...”🤣🤣🤣🤣

I actually do this almost all the time. I didn't think anyone else would try it or say positive things about. When workout like this I fell like I'm actually being lazy or just pushing through to finish my sets.

nearly at the big 1 million subscribers and we'll deserved when you get there, you're vifs are very good. PS you remind me of Kratos from God of War. Which is a compliment believe me.

I’m actually early enough to leave a comment that you might see! Thanks for all the videos/workouts that have kicked my a** for the past couple months!

Regardless if it’s true or not Ryans storytelling it’s hilarious 😂
