Bear mode feels so good on the body (calorie surplus, lots of training, and rest). Awesome progress!

shoulders, biceps, quads all look much bigger and fuller in the after. seriously sick progress man!

You should do more of these longer challenges

One thing I really admire from your videos is how well you're able to plan everything out and make every video work together through multi-tasking different goals through out the week. U FOCUSING BRO😮

I definitely enjoy the longer time frame on these challenges more! Great video as always :)

Every time I watch your videos, I get excited like it's the first time. You always pump me up with motivation, push me to take action, and instill belief in myself! Thanks for being you, wishing you all the best, BUT YOU GOTTA FOCUS!

You are the first video I’m watching since I just woke up: great way to start this Saturday:) have a very very great day today 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

I think I was like in high school when I started watching your channel, just revisiting after a long time and glad to see you doing good bro!

Great video man, happy to see the strength gains you’re getting, 85’s are no joke

Hey Pigmie. One of your best video,

Your looking great brother 👍🏼dont risk anything with a bad back. I’ve had back problems for the last 3 to 4 years that have totally changed the way I live/move. My injury came from heavy lifting and not focusing on keeping strong core and back form. I was just young and strong and didn’t care about my body and I’ll probably be stuck paying for it most of my adult life. Listen to your body if it’s hurting my man 🙏🏼

Love this guy's videos. Super solid vibes, and awesome experiments. Keep it up man

Definitely one of your best videos yet!

Love you brother! You are doing shit nobody else is doing, and a lot of it is stuff I have been questioning myself. One of these videos you should look into vertical jumps/dunking maybe(check out knees over toes guys before you go into it). Keep up the good work.

i love how your voice is changing with the sound of the music 😂 you make such a great content, keep up going brother ❤

Love your content bro keep it up!

Your getting bulkier by the day nice

i always appreciate the quality bro, you always are informing me of new ways to train ive never thought about, keep making vids bro! 😁😁😁

I have been a fan since 2 years ive seen a lot of your videos i hope you keep uploading ^^

Love your video's man, they really inspire me! (Tip: I've heard you say 'expecially' a couple of times now in your videos and I think it should be 'especially')

You look good!!!! Keep the bulk going. Im looking forward to the next update

Nice progress man!

Great video! One thing to note- you can also progressively overload by increasing intensity (ie slow and controlled increasing mind muscle connection, or more fast and explosive than last time)

A suggestion that may help with your squats/back issue. Using a trap bar for squats and deadlifts. This is how I do all of my leg exercises at home now. It'll take a lot of pressure and compression off your spin. But you still do have to be careful. I'll feel that twinge in my back if I start going to heavy. But Ive had way less injury moving to the trap bar!! (I found some cheap trap bars on Amazon)

This is an awesome video, Lucas. I would love to see an update down the road (once you've surrendered to the urge to lean out again lol) comparing your size then to what it was at the beginning of your bulk. I think you are getting impressive results with the methods you've been using. I really respect and appreciate the work you put into both this channel and your health and wellness. I'm inspired by you. 👍👍 Oh, and I would also love to watch a full progression over all the years you've been recording your progress on KZfaq. I realize it would be long as hell lol, but I'd watch the hell out of it. Keep it up Lucas. You are doing great! 🙂

i love your eye excersize video pls upload one more eye excersize

Awesome video my dude!😊 Inspirational as always. Man I would love to se you try climbing, indoor bouldering for a while and if that helpt with for example pullup strength. Thanks for the videos dude🙏 gota stay focused!

really liking these tests that go for a longer period of time. Most things won't give any noticeable results in 7 days but months on monts? now that's different

A Pigmie video just makes my day! 😊

This is actually super helpful 🔥🔥🔥

You seem really relatable and nice. Keep up the great work! ;)

Lucas! I ditched my pillow 1.5 years ago and my sleep quality has gone through the roof, the first 2 weeks-2 months are really annoying but since I've gotten used to it I've never slept better! I have gone back to my pillow for a week or few days at a time but my sleep always gets noticeably worse. Now I just sleep flat on my mattress or with a pillow to elevate my feet(rarely). I never wake up with stiffness or a sore neck anymore (unless it was just neck day) and I barely move in my sleep anymore as well. I almost always wake up exactly as I fell asleep, well rested, and before my alarms. I would like to see your thoughts on sleeping without a pillow. If you do try it I would say stick with it for a couple months because you may need time to kill the pillow addiction and get used to sleeping flat on your back. If you can persevere the initial discomfort its so worth it, it has been lifechanging for me! But you gotta focus!

Here are some video suggestions for you: only plyometrics workouts exercises in cold environment vs hot environment intensily stretch after a workout (Ive heard it could boost muscle growth) contract and extend your muscles quickly. Its like plyometrics + flexing ( example: quickly extend and contract your arm, so your biceps and triceps) You stretch half of your body every single day, and the other half you don't. So half tight, half flexible muscles

We need more of these longer challenges!

me watching that headspin tutorial video by you 14 years ago and seeing what you've become now is just amazing

Bro is just providing us exclusive trending contents which we are about to search on internet and boom his vedios splashes out ..love u heartily my brother ❤

This was a really good video!

You definitely bulked up, good job! There's a CLEAR increase in muscle

Top tier quality content!

Hey, I love the idea of continuing to bulk. It's cool to see you getting stronger, and you look way more jacked. First though, I would highly recommend a 6-week fat loss phase, maybe 2 months. Another round of bulking and you'll start to get a little extra skin, which never goes away, and you'll lose any ab and muscle definition. Another 15-20 pounds and suddenly running sucks, your knees hurt all the time, your face looks different, and pullups are significantly more difficult. For someone who has been as lean as you have as long as you have, and enjoys being a bodyweight beast, that's gonna be a big mental hit. Potential depression trigger type stuff. And what you don't want is to be at your heaviest, be unhappy with your body, and start eating to cope. 5 years later, you're 280 and don't know how you got there. Happens all the time. Take 6-8 weeks, trim down some of the fat, and then repeat. 4 month bulk where you gain 10-20 lbs. 2 month cut where you lose 10-20 pounds. Twice a year.

Good job. Definitely see a big difference

Definitely continue on what you're doing. You can manipulate the calories a bit if you think your gaining too much fat. Looks like your making solid progress but you need to stay with it or whatever muscle and strength you've gained won't stick. Maybe for fun try a warm up 75x2 and then 85 or 90 max reps, i think you get more stimulus kinda like HIT training concept

I struggle with the weight gain-core ratio thing too. My desire for cut abs and a less bulky core had me way overdoing boxing training a few years ago which was great for my athleticism and technique but terrible for bodybuilding. Looking back at the progress pictures the aesthetics of my core was the only thing that improved while my arms and chest slimmed down. I have this vague notion in my head that if I lean more into chest and arm lifting workouts that my body ratio will be less focused on my core while bulking (and I remember from a few years back that benching everyday did a lot for pronouncement). Anyways nice results and see where the healthy bulk takes you. BEAR MODE FOREVER BABY

such an amazing youtuber

Ooooh a vagal nerve stimulator!! Amazing! I need to try that stuff

I remember watching a weirdo give me tips on how to do a flip. I was like this dude is a little off, is it an act? Wasn’t sure but you were entertaining so I subscribed. You’ve come a loooong way💪👊👊

Great video! 🙏

Nice bro, definitely getting my sub

Yo new video I’m excited

Nice progress

LETS GO! I loved the previous bear mode video as well :)

Bro has very entertaining videos

I say work on maintenance and leaning out at that weight while you strengthen your back so you can do heavy deadlift if you're going to be in a consistent surplus. I've been watching some videos on epigenetic clocks that show increased pace of aging associated with higher BMI. Would love to see some videos in your style on epigenetic clocks!!!!!

This guy taught me how to do a backflip when I was 12 I’m 18 and still watching his videos

Bulk is looking good. Probably want to go for another 60-90 days then cut back down for the summer, 100% will hit those 90s in the meantime. keep it up. My read on all the minimum dose research coming out is that adopting a "seasonal" approach will let us work on multiple specificities (Lifting, Cal skills, MA, Running, etc) while keeping the rest on "maintenance" for months or longer just hitting them once a week.

Loving these videos. Have you found any downsides to the bulk?

Highly recommend an open trap bar for deadlifts if you’re recovering and for general strength

I love your work! I have an idea for a new camera angle on your videos..Using the best thermal camera you can afford (”Flir” is a well known company on the internet ) , you could point it at the muscles as you are weight lifting or aerobic workouts..I am suggesting the best you can get as it could POSSIBLY really show the individual muscles as they get hot from use..You could possibly really see the muscles change color as they are activated..I have seen only one video doing this and it is low quality on KZfaq, but it does show them doing an aerobic workout..The point they showed is how the arms seemed to get cold first, then they get hot as they take off heat with the hands getting really hot even not on the handle bars..If anything it is going to be some really cool new thermal image video angles to add to your awesome channel!

Love you man! Sam Sulek got nothin on you

Brooooooo great job! You can definitely see the progress. Look at your freaking rear and side delts. You can also see the line on the top of your chest more clearly. This is like the most ideal bear mode I've ever seen. Seems like you mostly gained muscle. Maybe the numerical amount of fat on your body went up, but you don't look like your body fat percentage went up.

do a kettlebell challenge. It’ll help your back. Also, look up the McGill big 3 movements for low back rehab. They make a huge difference.

Interesting observations about intermittent fasting. Have you tried ADF (alternate day fasting)? Would be fascinating to hear about you trying it out!

Looks good, I could definitely tell the difference 👍🏼

The definition looks nearly the same at a larger size! That’s awesome

I like your natural voice. The bear voice was very intimidating.

@pigmie have you tried getting spinal decompression a few times a month to help relieve the tension on your back? It helped me tremendously. I got hit by a semi truck 🚛 and went through spinal decompression with a chiropractor. I hope it helps you too!

I'm in a similar process with and extra 35 lbs of weight and I have also noticed that doing exercises like lunges and even just running a short distance puts some serious stress on my lower back. Been doing a set of bent over back extensions daily to try to adjust and I pre exhaust my quads before squatting so it's not just my back wearing out.

Do you ever get a free In-Body Scan done at a Nutrishop? That data is really helpful for me since it tracks fat and muscle content separately

Look into food combining, and mono meals.

Looks amazing

You are committed, I will give you that

Oh you got tribulus! Awesome. Beetroot powder is good allegedly, from using all the others i listed on previous vid, i never noticed extra pump tbh.

you should do a video training your vertical jump for a month or sum

i really like your content man, keep it up

This is great! Would love to see you do a cut down to 80 kg and then a year long bulk up to 95 kg 😃

If you maintained this training and calorie count for longer, how much heavier could you get before your weight flat lines?

This is so funny and informative

My question is did you fast on the rest days? I've always wondered what is more important, Eating on work days or eating on rest days (as far as muscle growth goes)

You are big bro 🎉

Video idea: Try tendon trainning or armwrestling trainning. Ngl, its really cool

It’s good to have catabolism too. The seasons change from winter to summer.

Hey Pigmie can you do a experiment for black maca root?

Love the Tron Legacy theme 🤟

To beef up that low back it might be worth it to look into a Reverse Hyper. I went with Titan Fitness H-PND after tweaking my back, never feeling comfortable with my strength in a couple lifts combined with a little pain for a couple years. After a month, of adding the movement into my workout, my back has felt stronger and better.

What tool would you use to keep track of the weight?

the longer hair also doing you justice lol

Are you want to gain weight with lifting in the gym one set till failure and only going to the gym four days a week however eaten too much carbs are making my urine weak. How do I go about bulking up?

One pot meals in a really big pressure cooker and maybe a huge smoothie will save you a ton of time and work. You just need to put together enough variety so you don't get bored with them. I did it with 2 or 3, but it did get a little boring after a while, adding the smoothie later on helped a lot. Maybe 5 or 6 would last a lot longer. It's just a little bit of a challenge to balance everything you need and have 5, 6, 7 unique one pot meals. I was just a little lazy to come up with more lol.

I love you pigmie. do you still have the natty status?

Nice bulk.

Do you think you will work so hard on making good looking body, even if you do not watch media (fb, insta, yt, etc.) ? I mean, it seems to me like we are very affected by what we are looking at. Is that good or bad?

You should try only train unweighted calisthenics for like a week, or 2 weeks. From personal experience: I’ve been going to the gym for a few years now. I had a good schedule and was training every muscle very well but it was making slow slow progress. My gym membership got cancelled because I had no money so I switched to calisthenics. (Pullups, push-ups etc.) and I noticed my back and chest (and other muscles but mainly those 2) got bigger, way faster than when I did freeweights. I made more progress in 2 months training body weight then when I did going to the gym for half a year.

Reverse Hypers for your back man. Changed my life.

When he said "my back." I relate so much.

Wow, great experiment 👏 You should try to eat 36 eggs a day for a week or month as vince gironda recommended.

Acupuncture for your back? Especially "dry needling" Good luck homes

bro, what brand/model are your glasses?

i love a good clean bulk

Noticeable gains with triceps and legs! I’ve been doing the same thing for the last 90 days give or take a couple days I’m 5’6 eating 3,000 a day and am force feeding. I wanna try the fasting couple days of the week for a break. I started at 153 now I’m weighing 167. Feeling good. However seems like my strength finally just hit a plateau with some lifts. Not quite sure why. Squats continuing to go up. My bench has been sitting in the same spot for the last month Related a lot to this video.

Bear mode!! Looks great
