Just be aware that you must do strength training when using GLP-1 Peptides because studies show that 40% of the weight loss with them is muscle loss!

Yea you shouldn’t be expecting to see your abs when you’re bulking… eventually the muscle definition gets reduced as you keep bulking, even though you’re putting on more muscle, because a little bit of fat is also being added on with the muscle. It’s not realistic to bulk expecting only muscle gain with no fat. Unfortunately that’s not how anabolism works. On the flip side when you’re cutting (catabolism) you will lose fat and eventually your muscle definition increases but if you keep it up indefinitely you start to lose muscle as well. This is why people alternate between bulking and cutting cycles for the best results. And it takes many cycles for the body to look the way you truly want to, and even then, the work is never over.

​@@AntranikDotOrgis it possible to gain muscle and weight without the "bulk"? Or is that just unrealistic?
@AntranikDotOrg
@AntranikDotOrg 12 минут бұрын
It's a good question. Most of the time a "lean bulk" or "slow bulk" is recommended (over a "dirty bulk") to stave off the fat-gain that comes with it, but even then, eventually, the fat will build up. People who can do so without any fat-gain are either genetically gifted or very young (or using some sort of drugs to help) but the large majority will experience fat-gain eventually after enough time passes. If the aesthetics are important to you, basically when you start feeling too fat for your liking (and you've gained a considerable amount of absolute strength alongside the process), it's generally a good time to take a break from all specific-dieting for a week and then transition to a slow cut.

Just tried this and it really helped. I hadn't realised how tight my lats were so I searched for a pull-up bar stretch and found yours. Definitely going to add this stretch to my daily routine. If you're doing the one arm hang, I'd also recommend using your other hand to gently grab and squeeze your stretching lat at each point of your side. You'll get a little extra relief out of it.

Hi Antranik, I know this might be a question I should go ask my physio, but I get pain when I do pull ups on my left rear delt. It always happen with the click sound when I am coming down from a pullup near the end. My physio tells my thoracic mobility needs improvement. I also have tight pecs(desk job and too much pushing exercises i reckon). It is quite difficult to do pull ups without that annoying pain in my left shoulder, right now doing some shoulder strengthening prehab/rehab exercises and thoracic mobility exercises(not going to physio anymore since they said I don't need to come). Do you think I could do pullups with the technique in this video or should I keep up my mobility exercises only for couple months? Don't wanna lose progress.
@AntranikDotOrg
@AntranikDotOrg 5 күн бұрын
Do pullups with this technique cause the pain? If not, do it like this! If there is pain, do rows (such as inverted-bodyweight rows or ring rows) hurt? If not, that will help balance out the pushing at least. IMO you could do both mobility AND strengthening alongside. The trick is finding the exercises that don't hurt/aggravate you and cause regression or further injury.

3:05 - this proved useful for what I am thinking of using these. Although I'll need to use the 2-generation upgraded version, where the holes are on the outside. I am evaluating this for hooking up my cable pulley set up to it by using a carabiner through the outside hole. And in some exercises, like face pulls for rear delts, or triceps from behind the head, the angle of pull can be almost parallel to the floor. I was concerned about what happens to how secure these would grip at that angle, and 3:05 gives an idea. But it looks like the opposite side would still keep it secure, and I am also thinking that shoving some kind of wooden block into the space between the inner surface of this device and a door frame would stabilize it to prevent the rising on the side of the pull. If anybody already has these, or 2-generation upgraded version, what's your take on even with nearest side rising like that, it's still being held secure by the other side and won't fall of, right? Plus unlike in example in this video, where all of the force is pulling away from vertical, in my example with the pulley cable the angle of force is probably half between vertical part of cable connected to the weight and part of that cable that I am pulling.

Hy Antranik! I've been feeding on your pragmatic and bs free content for years, and this video made me even much "closer" to your experience. I have 2 kids (3 and 1 y.o.) and I started to sleep more than 1,5/2 hours straight in the last month, so I've been struggling with fatigue and accumulate stress for some time... I always tried to find some time for fitness (at least 2 full sessions per week), but it was not easy, especially because when you're tired your own excuses just mount up and it becomes a psychological war as well... thank you so much for the expertise and experience you share, you really are a role model for me

Hi there Nicola! (My sons name is Nikola btw!)... the lack of sleep is so rough... being a parent to 2 young kids sound extra-exhausting, so I understand the fatigue accumulation must be nuts. If you can work in shifts with your wife and when it's not your turn, wear ear plugs (and/or just sleep on the couch separately), it can help a lot for you to catch up on sleep. I remember in the first month my son was born, I felt the MOST RAGGED i've ever felt in my life and it was impossible to even think about working out, but even if I did then randomly, it really helped. Anyway, we will always have excuses but forcing yourself to have those 2 sessions helps you keep sane I'm 100% sure. I'm so glad this video resonated with you and I don't know when my next dad-specific video will be but I'm glad you appreciate it!

When i first got in shape it was just after my daughter was born and i was following the old BWF routine and your vids/yoga - like you i was spreading my workouts throughout the day whenever i had 5 minutes. It ended up allowing me to workout consistently, without ever having to dedicate much time to any single workout session. I never felt like I "missed" workouts, cos i was doing piecemeal workouts every day.

This program is amazing! I recently got to 11 pullups after following it consistently for a few weeks, never got to 10 in my entire life. I actually noticed myself feeling stronger on the bar after a few weeks of the program, ie 3,4,5 reps started feeling like trivial. Despite doing lower reps per set, the sheer volume you end up doing seems to somehow cause your body to get stronger. As Antranik says just trust the process!

Hi, do you think this program 4-5 times per week can also build muscle? Maybe also super set the pullups with a pushup progression with the same rep scheme.
@AntranikDotOrg
@AntranikDotOrg Ай бұрын
This wouldn't work well with supersetting with no rest. It You need to rest several minutes ideally between each set for best results. It will work fine with alternating sets with pushing exercise if you rest a lot (not "superset" with no rest) Pushing for more days per week will work if you are DILIGENT about not overdoing it (you must be following the rep scheme perfectly and not pushing it even if you have gas left in the tank, otherwise you won't recover enough for the next day). You will definitely build muscle though if you stay disciplined with this balance.

Absolutely! When you get to the tucked L-sit. One minor change: you don't need to achieve 60secs to try to extending the legs. 30secs might be enough. And if the bridge between One-Foot Supported and Tucked L-sit is too difficult, you could temporarily try the tucked L-sit with hands elevated on something until that gets unlocked. 💪

I would do 1-2 pullups, then 6-7 SLOW negatives to complete 8 reps in a set. Rest at LEAST 5 minutes and then repeat to complete 3 sets. And do that 2-3x/week (3x is better). That should get your numbers up fast.
