Do you feel stuck in your training? Not sure why you’re getting stronger but not bigger, or how to get strong without getting big? Strength doesn’t always equal size and how we look doesn’t always match how we perform.
So, let’s break it down to understand how strength and size relate and how to eat and train to get the look you’re striving for. I’ll give you the best rep ranges to train in and what your nutrition should look like to help you understand how to attain your desired physique.

I couldn´t agree with you more; maingaining has always been my go-to. Thanks for adding those clear subltitles as well; those not English natives like me do apreciate it. Changing the subject, for further videos... I´d like to know your opinion about Hypopressive abs. They were trendy years ago and suddenly nobody was performing them anymore (not interested on stage posing but abs strenghtening and aesthetics). Thanks again for your outsanding content and editing. Regards from Spain.

If you're looking to get aesthetic and strong abs, I would recommend functional training, isometric holds, and some flexion. Something like supersetting heavy front squats with sit-ups and a plank hold would be an example of this. At the end of the day, strong abs are made with training hard, and aesthetic abs are made in the kitchen. Keep your nutrition dialed in and you'll see the results you want.

Marcus, great video as usual. I can relate to this one. I have been working out consistently for 8 months now, started at 250lbs, and I focused only on getting stronger. Then looks like my metabolism started to fire up and I lost 15lbs. Then I decided to change to hypertrophy style and also incorporated some cardio, mainly walking. But my problem now, is that I’m eating 2100-2500 cal/day, still long way to go, I want to be around 195lbs looking to be at least 15% body fat and I do not fill confortable eating less than what 2300lbs. So, should I try to reset my maintenance calories to a higher value, let’s say 3200cal/day and then cut from there ? Btw, I’m Lifting weight 3x week. Thanks

Hey brother, are you still losing body fat at your current 2,300 calories?

Very informative, thanks. The only feedback I have is to maybe not use the same sound as receiving a text message. ✌🏻

Hey Marcus! I train from home with no access to really heavy weights. I'm really consistent with my training, but often find that I'm not gonna reach any major weight gaining goals because the heaviest weight I have is a 40kg barbell plus a 24kg kettlebell. So my question is down to whether or not major gains are possible with a limited weight range?

@marcusfilly 9 ай бұрын

Good question! You can certainly get stronger even with limited weights. My favorite way to make the most out of smaller weights is to add in challenging tempos.

Question off topic… Do you use a cold tube or sauna routine daily ?

@panagiothsstaurou7569 9 ай бұрын

It's good for strength to mix standard olimpic barbell with the axle and trap bar in my lifts?

@marcusfilly 9 ай бұрын

Yes, I'm a big fan of mixing in implements so that you can train strength balance through all planes of motion.

kinda irrelevant, but I’m stuck at my same weight 😢 been dieting for about six months. Went from 210lbs down to 163Lbs my goal weight is 155 pounds. I eat 1,687 calories, I’m close to 15,000 steps a day I workout six days a week for about a half hour to 45 minutes and lately my weight goes down a pound and up a pound. Oof the struggle is real not sure what to do. Great content as always

@marcusfilly 9 ай бұрын

First of all, congratulations on such a big weight loss win! You must be working hard! I hope you have been taking time to celebrate that win for yourself. Plateaus and small weight fluctuations will happen and with such a fast drop in weight for you it might be the bottom of where you can get. Can I ask why your goal is 155 pounds? What about that number feels like the "finish line" for you? Are you training alongside your dieting?

@ItsmeStaygoldkid 9 ай бұрын

@@marcusfilly Thanks man, I’m trying lol. I’m a pretty strict clean eater. I haven’t had a “cheat day or even a re-feed To celebrate. I am happy with my results though. It’s just that I just get so in my head to be honest. I fear a set back. That’s a great question. Yes, I’m doing resistance training about five days a week at home about 30 to 45 minutes just so I don’t lose muscle on this cut. I also walk 10 to 15,000 steps a day to keep up the cardio. Why 155lbs? I guess my theory behind it is, I’ll be healthier and I’ll have low enough body fat to have a pretty defined core. currently I am starting to see more defined abs and lean muscle, however, I still have some body fat. My whole life I have been overweight. I’m only 5’7. My original goal was 165lbs and now I’m at 163Lbs. Not gonna lie I’m pretty low in energy and hungry 😂

@marcusfilly 9 ай бұрын

@@ItsmeStaygoldkid I totally hear that, and have certainly been there myself when on a cut. You may want to add a little food back in, and maintain for a short period of time (could even be 4 weeks), so that you feel satiated and strong. Remember that if you're adding muscle, pay attention to how you look and feel - your body comp is often more relevant than a set number on the scale. Keep up the hard work 👊

Which persist program is best for pure strength?

@marcusfilly 8 ай бұрын

If you are looking for muscle and strength then PUMP LIFT is your best solution. A full session of lifting without conditioning. Save the cardio for later.
