As an alcoholic and drug addict most of my life, now at 40 years old with a few sober years, I’ve become interested in my health and fitness. I’m looking and feeling better daily. This channel has been so motivating and helpful the past couple of months I’ve been subscribed. Thanks guys!

I’ve been lifting for 2 and a half years watching videos and stuff, I have to say that you have to fail before you see good results. You have to learn your body and accept that it’s different than everyone else. DO WHATS WORKING FOR YOU!

I basically just eat eggs, fruit and avocado for breakfast every day. Lunch and dinner is some variation of meat & root veggies. Greek yogurt with fruit or some keffir at night. 10 oz whole milk with a protein scoop with every meal. I'm a single guy and my grocery trips are quick, cooking and dishes are minimal, and i feel great. After the initial shopping trip it really only costs about $50/week to maintain.

I've had muscles since I hit puberty not huge at all but always had muscular arms I am now 44 never worked out in my life but always had a physical job. I still have a decent physique so it IS genetic to a certain extent for sure. I have had periods in my life where I did zero exercise and was unemployed drank, smoked weed and ate junk food for 6 months still not fat and kept definition!

Genetics is definitely involved. I don’t build muscle super fast but I spent 6 months eating Taco Bell and drinking bang energy drinks every single day. I stopped and started running a bit. Ran a marathon in 4 hours 2 weeks later.

Training Eating Sleeping Mentality Nutrients Managing stress Patience Dedication Apply all these correctly and you will be good, Eventually. Please feel free to add more....

100% facts broski's!! I am one of those rare people with crazy genetics. Im so rare that people think im juicing. My tricep muscles pop so thats one big reason why i stand out. lol When in fact its 13 yrs of hard work and blessed with the genetics. I had to put in the work. Doing push ups everyday when no one else was. Making sacrifices, going to the gym instead of going out late at night to get drunk. I still enjoyed myself but i prioritized myself before anybody else. Work hard play later. And i did it all by myself. Be the best you is all you can do! Keep banging out the good content! One love

It's crazy how fast you can gain muscle and get in shape if you workout good for your body snd lifestyle. Also if you eat the right amount of protein and get all the vitamins and nutrients you need. Always start slow and work your way up.

People with good genetics motivate me even more because I'm determined to beat them with average genetics.

is thus guy jordan peterson for bodybuilding?

When you research bloods and haplogroups you start to question what is human, are we the same species, what am I?

I just went to the gym 3 weeks ago and I’ve lost 15 pounds and gained an inch on my bicep I build it so quickly. But I think it’s muscle memory I use to workout in the past

I eat super clean, workout 6 times a week really hard and I see results, but I have a friend who is so jacked and lean and doesn’t workout

I feel bad, I gain muscle so easily But I also lose muscle a lot Whenever I gain weight I go to the gym to lose weight, end up gaining a lot of mass but then I end up taking 6-12 month breaks and get fat again I should be taking advantage of this and keep at least a solid build before my prime is over

i have been only doing lifting for little over a month and my strnght and muscle size just doubled,unbelievable,i am not even going to gym,only daily calthenics and lifting a dumbell i got as a gift from a friend ,kkk

I wonder this too.. I build muscle extremely fast. I work out for a day and I build muscle that lasts. I feel like a genetic freak sometimes, but aye, I ain't complaining. It's better than being skinny and looking unhealthy.

Ive always gained strenght and size fast.

Patience is key

October 2019 I was 159 pounds and started power lifting/ building. December 2020 I'm 201 pounds. I have shorter muscle bellies though and thick skin so I don't look as shredded even though I'm about 17 % bf, 201 pounds at 5'11.

I will say last year I stayed in an extreme deficit lost a bunch of weight got to 180 looked ok I took a break started again on more maintenance calories I’m at 205 and look better then I did after ten months of lifting I have noticed my body changes quick but adapts quickly as well though Extreme deficit is definitely hard and not so beneficial guys try maintaining more it’s definitely the better route

Im deffo an outlier. 215lbs 6'0 roughly 15% bf and only started gym during lockdown. Played soccer all my life but always had a big build even so.

Its really weird I barely work out and I get alot of compliments on my big arms and never noticed. It might be because I lift heavy things alot but idk.

I have seen guys who don't lift weights who are more muscular than guys who go to the gym 4 times a day. Genetics and testosterone levels matter a lot.

I can build muscle really fast 💨 it would be nice too see what would happen if I had a trainer never been too a gym

Genetics is not a quick excuse. You can see people who have objectively better muscle belly fullness and insertions than you do. No matter how hard you work or how much muscle you build you will never be able to get the genetic muscle shape they do and overall aesthetic. Ever. Let alone shoulder width, clavicle insertion and waist size, another huge genetic trait which cannot be modified via training and plays the biggest role in how someone’s physique will turn out. Ratio of fast twitch to slow twitch muscle fibres within the muscle .. again another solely genetic trait which is a huge muscle growth variable. Aside from genetic structure, MTOR levels are huge and not talked about enough. Some people’s MTOR levels do not diminish as fast as the next person and that is another genetic variable which plays a huge role in someone’s ability to pack on Continuous muscle growth. Great genetics can always override a sub par diet and training routine but the opposite isn’t true. Genetics is everything.

I'm gonna try it ?

I'm 5'10, 240, and yeah I gain muscle proabbly faster than average. I started doing pushups around 19 and just blow up. And than I was 195. Now I do over 400 pushups every other day. I eat like shit and I'm in construction so I feel like that helps with burning my crappy calories. But I think it's my genetics and my work ethic combined

I get way too big! I don’t take roids or anything. For the past 10-12 years I’ve been lifting weights seriously. The muscle memory, if I’ve taken time off, is almost instant. I can gain my strength back extremely fast and the mass builds on. Some people may see this as a gift, but at times it sucks because I’m a super nice guy, but I’m often seen as intimidating by people who don’t really know me. Although, I love working out and lifting heavy it does suck at times because it actually opens you up to stereotypes (meathead, anger issues, dangerous and so on). I’m a black dude and I believe it’s total genetics. I’m the youngest boy of 4 and I’m also the smallest and shortest. The odd part is, now that I’m in my 30s as I get older I’m also getting stronger. Not only that, but my metabolism has slowed down so the mass stays on versus staying more lean like I was in my teens and 20s. There’s definitely more of a diet factor now that I’m older and my body is reacting the way it is to building strength and muscle.

I trained for 6 months when i was 17 and 3 years later at 20 ive noticed insane results when getting back at the gym. 2 months in my biceps grew by 2.2 inches and its one of my lagging body parts

Its also the body shape. If two people gain the same in muscles, it can look more powerful in one of them

I have been exercising regularly for the past month and I have gained so much muscle that I was getting concerned.

Somebody tell Adam they arent podcasting in a freezer lmao

Other factors come in but GENETICS is the most important

Stress and anxiety. Everything else you can control to some degree. You cannot control things like Covid and all the problems it creates, death of a loved one, marital issues etc.

Show mentioned sounds like Secret Eaters.

Diet is the majority of all muscle building, you just can't ignore it. I had great success with the Agoge Diet plan. Would recommend it to anyone!

Also work my dad works in construction so after a day of sweating and physical work your exhausted he doesn’t have the energy to workout

I build muscle at a superhuman rate. Trash diet. Low calories. Low effort lifting, Only supplement I use is whey protein. It defies basic physics. I just started a retrain and two weeks later it’s made me critically anaemic from fuelling the muscles so fast. However, I plateau really quickly and find it difficult getting anywhere close to my end goal despite eventually switching to a serious regime/diet.

Genetics will likely be the most important factor. Personally i don't work out in any way shape or form other than commuting to and from work and doing grocery runs with my bicycle i don't do much, but i look like I've been lifting for years, i also eat a lot of protein rich foods, i love dairy, we got a lot of high quality dairy products here in Norway which probably helps. I am also really strong, always was since i was a kid, i could beat some adults in arm wrestling when i was 10 years old, but genetics genetics and genetics, my mother has some insane forearms and legs some men would die for, but she doesn't like it much which is why she do not like wearing any kind of shorts and short sleeved anything due to her masculine physiology, she lives a static life, i have been thinking about my potential if i ever would start lifting but i just do not have the motivation or the desire to do these things yet at least...

Some guys don't train like wimps and when it starts to burn they keep going and you stop

Agoge Diet personalized plan makes it simple. Choose the food you like and they give you personalized meal plan with tips, workout plan and healthy recipes.

"270 lbs and the guy works out twice a week" LMFAO i lol'd at this, and honestly it makes me cry that some people exist with these genetics, but good for them. I'm either a hardgainer or something close to it, if I'm not at or above 3000-3500 calories every day without missing then my weight isn't moving. That being said I'm up 39 lbs in the last year, stronger than I have ever been. Natty

I've played football most of my life, I'm 45 now and if I don't work out for a year, and then start working out, it's like my body goes back to being muscular and cut in about a month.. it's gotta be muscle memory with genetics

I want to find videos on people who build muscle really easily. AKA Easy gainers. I gain muscle so quickly and regular workout advice does not work for me.

I did 2 ab exercises yesterday and they Alr look defined, I’m not really a gym expert but I would say more than half of it has to do with genetics

Hi i am siam

I lost muscle with hyperthyroidism. AS A woman? I was pleased. After physical therapy? Following an accident? I'm back to building muscle, I'm my shoulders, thighs. What gives? I'm not lifting, straight cardio

These guys are lucky they have fast metabolism. I gain weight after like one slice of pizza..

My friends make fun that I just have to go to the gym once and I get jacked. It's seriously insane!! I feel bad man! People are trying so hard. I'm not on any kind of diet and my sleep is horrible. It HAS to be genetics!

Well I can’t build muscle at all. Despite training hard and eating a crap ton and slamming protine every day for a year or I’ve gained maybe 30 pounds in the last year and I haven’t gained any size none

It's not genetics people don't like working out alot and impatient and are willing to use steroids to "keep up"

The interviewer looks just like Ebro in the morning.

Go grandma!! 🥩

Ion know I damn near look at weights n start showing results within a week lol

The guy with the symetrical profile is the guy thats probably right.....not joking

Lol I have an Italian grandma duh she feeds me what I wants

It’s genetic

The Hercules Gene is real scientific fact different muscle fibers scientific fact

Protein, a multivitamin and caffeine are the foundation.

First genetics plays a massive factor then all the stuff he talks about.. genetics are the foundation.. with a shit foundation you will only get so far.. facts

it's toxic how they interrupt eachother

Me trying to build muscle: 🐒 Me trying to lose weight: 🦍 🤔🤔🤔

I wish my GMA fed me steak all the time

Pharmucutical drugs damage the brain and cause hormonal imbalances. When your testosterone levels are damaged. You will not build anymore muscle. They ruin the ability to build muscle have erections they cause genital numbness retrograde ejaculation low sperm count. Some excuses are legitimate I'm speaking from experience. I cannot eat enough due to bloating. I eat lean beef try to get my vegetables and fruits. Some people cannot eat enough due to bloating disorders. I rarely get hungry. Also eating whole foods are expensive. Some people have a budget and some people have disabilities wich make access to enough healthy food really difficult. Some people still live with there parents as well due to disabilities. It's not really that simplistic. There are more circumstances and barriers than for the norm.

Greg Doucette has entered the chat

I know a guy that doesn't even work out he has a bodybuilder physique , he's 240 lb around 8 to 10% body fat year round and eats whatever he wants without working out.

I got great legs, shoulders and traps genetics. The majority of my upper body are garbage genetics, T. rex arms, bitch tits, tire gut, double chin.

Lol I know people who train like shit and eat like shit and still build muscle faster than other people i know with great training, great diets AND trenbolone

Biodiversity is REAL! I'm 42 (~ 1.8m tall and ~ 65kg). I've weight trained since around the time i was 18, becoming a bit obsessive about fitness. I believe i could have achieved much more, had i not got so caught up in fitness. I still live at home with my mother, am sexually abstinent, somewhat (still masturbate at times, but would like to cease that also sometime soon. During my early days weight training, i was completely abstinent, no masturbation for around 3 years, channelling my libido into weight training) , i m not celibate, i've had sexual intercourse once (penetrative sexual intercourse). I peaked in weight at around 82 kg, but was around 30% body fat apparently, form all the food intake, when i was in my 20's. In hindsight, wow.... how stupid and foolish. I was eating around 8 - 12 Weet-Bix before work at times, or toasted slices of bread (possibly up to 10 slices), then some largish meal for morning tea/break (2 - 4 tuna sandwiches, i think), then lunch (possible up to 250g of rice and something else, possible tuna again, or chicken), then dinner. I was also snacking in between these meals (sultanas ..etc). Near constant muscle aching and flatulence, was part of my lifestyle, for years. Although i trained my legs and calfs, as part of my split routine, they never really developed appreciatively, but because of my slender bone structure and lack of upper body development, i suppose i didn't look to ridiculous (top heavy, bottom thin/light, like a seagull :), but some people noticed my disproportionate development, and let me know so (I certainly was already aware, i was not that delusional, but was so perhaps, in the belief of what i could attain with weight training). A while before typing this, i was about to perform push ups, with push up handles, but stopped myself. Not a good thing (IMO, in regard to aesthetics) to exercise upper body, without exercising lower body also, but I really dislike squating, leg pressing..etc, to be sore the next day, for no real decent development (pain, no gain *~* , masochist much?). People who say you just need to eat more, train more intensely, be more dedicated (obsessive), sleep/rest more, blah, blah, blah, in order to get significantly bigger/stronger, either do not believe that biodiversity is real (we are all like a blank slate), or are being dishonest (many are for the sake of profiting from supplement sales). Genetics is the ultimate factor in ones actual ability to achieve things (not just muscle or strength), other qualities being equal, but how can these qualities even be measured (You know in your "heart of hearts" if you worked hard, ate well enough, recuperated well..etc) by observant others? At 42, i'm "over" the whole gym culture and want to focus my energies into more materially productive endeavours, like generating more wealth, perhaps some DIY..etc. Also, while i was a gym member, i paid for the privilege of working out, to then put energy into working in warehouses/factories as a so called unskilled manual labourer (pay rate, relatively on the low side) for someone else, with people in managerial roles demanding more and more productivity from myself, no matter how much effort i made (where the fuck was my self respect man!) from people much bigger/stronger (who may not have even lifted gym weight plates before), than myself. In hindsight, pretty pathetic of me to allow that. I have questioned to myself why i placed so much importance on getting bigger/stronger, muscular. I have come to conclusions that i'm not going to disclose right now. I've wasted a lot of time in the pursuit of fitness, that could of been spent on other more rewarding things. Plenty of females want to be bigger and stronger now, also, in this day and age. These types of women, likely will expect a boyfriend or husband to be even fitter (physically) than them. Ramble over. :)

Hi. What Sal are you? I was looking for another one. 😎 Let your girl’s know that Tresemme is no good. Do not purchase it. Is that your daughter? Hi.

Come on hes doing the same work out same eating same drugs but my traing partner can look at the weight pile gain 5lbs. come on it is more so genitics thats the truth

You dont need to up your fucking calories to build some musle. I mean what we talking about ??? 50 pounds haha. when no one talking has any muscle

What the hell is on the ceiling? Cause whatever it is, it has to be so distracting.

losing body fat is easier than putting on muscle imo, I just find it easier to take away than to add. Now putting on muscle and burning fat is a whole different story xD

I still believe genetics is the main part...im 5'4 and 130 pounds waist is 25 inches still have my perky glute and shredded abs after having 3 babies through csections...I look exactly the same 18 years ago....ps.I never trains my core too

There are some points made here but this just mostly bro talk IMO and btw the majority of the super obese, such as the people shown on those realty tv shows, is a mental disease health case. Coping and dealing with trauma, stress with combination of having no knowledge on how to actually be healthy

it's called nofap

This is your worst video. Genetics aren HUGE! Want proof? Many people have a muscle group or two that is genetically superior to their other body parts. My back grows so much easier than my chest. I don't work legs as much as upper body. I sometimes neglect legs. My best body part? My butt. From the time I was a skinny teen ager, girls commented on my butt. It looks muscular with no effort. My arms are super slow to grow. Genetics are the number one factor. I hate it but it's true.

genetics big time you guys are clueless
