Fixing Uneven Biceps in 60 Seconds
45sAddresses a common asymmetry concern with actionable advice, appealing to beginners.
βΆ Play ClipThis video is a live Q&A stream where the creator, PicFit, answers viewer questions about fitness, nutrition, and training. He covers topics like muscle imbalances, bulking, pre-workout supplements, and common training mistakes, providing practical advice for beginners and intermediate lifters.
For beginners with uneven bicep size, continue bilateral training with similar weights on both sides, use mind-muscle connection, and give it at least 6 months to a year before considering unilateral work.
Calculate your TDEE using online calculators, eat in a surplus, and follow a hypertrophy or strength-hybrid program. Adjust calories based on weight changes over 1-2 weeks.
The documentary uses anecdotes and selective science to push a plant-based agenda. Plant proteins can work but may require higher doses to meet leucine thresholds for muscle protein synthesis.
Avoid training deadlifts to failure due to risk of passing out. Stick with 1-2 reps in reserve, focus on accessory work like glute ham raises, and train deadlifts twice a week.
Prioritize protein (1.6-1.8 g/kg) to minimize fat gain, then fill remaining calories with carbs and fats. If struggling to eat, make homemade shakes with nuts and fruits.
Use labdoor.com to check protein content, digestibility, and amino acid profiles. Choose from their top-rated products for reliable quality.
Evaluate your priorities and replace browsing time with gym time. Build a habit by consistently using free time for exercise.
A slight bulk is fine if you're close to 15% body fat, as you'll gain muscle quickly. Alternatively, a deficit or maintenance with resistance training can work.
Started fitness at 11 after finding dumbbells, earned a kinesiology degree, disliked big-box gym politics, and started YouTube to reach a larger audience.
Identify personal triggers (e.g., cultural habits, stress) and gradually replace unhealthy choices. Acknowledge the issue, exercise restraint, and build better habits over time.
Being 'natty' means no steroids. The creator identifies as natural.
Fat loss patterns are genetic; some people store more fat in the abdomen. Continue losing fat overall, and the belly will eventually reduce.
Consistency is keyβthe repeated bout effect reduces soreness over time. Foam rolling and adequate protein can help, but some soreness is normal with new exercises.
Beginner gains have no fixed timeframe; they depend on training and nutrition quality. A one-month break after two months of training still leaves you as a beginner.
Track micronutrients using apps like MyFitnessPal to avoid deficiencies in vitamin D, B vitamins, zinc, and magnesium. Whole foods provide better micronutrient profiles.
Dumbbells have limitations; consider joining a gym for barbells. For now, use a split you're comfortable with, and check the discord for frequency-based programs.
Pull-ups, push-ups, and squats build strength and endurance, but for significant hypertrophy, you'll eventually need added resistance, especially for legs.
The creator always believed consistent effort and quality content would lead to 1 million subscribers. He's grateful and doesn't take it for granted.
5x5 is a good starting point, but varying rep ranges (e.g., 8-12 for hypertrophy) can be more effective for specific goals. Avoid sticking to one rep range forever.
Ab workouts won't worsen your hip-to-waist ratio. Focus on a calorie deficit to reduce overall body fat.
Currently a YouTuber, but previously a personal trainer. He plans to open his own gym in the future.
Focus on RPE 8-9 with good form. Progress by adding small weight increments and don't worry about what others think.
Bro splits have lower frequency; upper/lower, PPL, or full body are more effective. Aim for 2-3 times per week per muscle group with built-in progression.
The creator is 31 years old and started his YouTube channel at 27.
Review your program and nutrition. If you're not progressing, join the discord community for personalized help.
Train chest twice a week with 8-10 sets per session (e.g., bench press + accessory). Ensure progressive overload and adequate protein (1.6 g/kg).
Yes, you can train heavy during a deficit, but progression will be slower. It's fine as long as you manage fatigue.
Hit protein first (2 g/kg recommended), eat at maintenance or a small surplus (100-200 calories) on training days, and ensure your training program is sufficient.
Prioritize your fitness and push through the cold. Bodyweight workouts can help beginners, but intermediates should return to the gym.
Change your program approach: use block periodization (e.g., hypertrophy block followed by strength block) or undulating periodization.
It's not bad, but do cardio after weightlifting. For best results, separate them by 6-12 hours or do them on different days.
It's fine if volume is moderate and recovery is managed. Avoid high volume every session.
Creatine may accelerate hair loss in susceptible individuals due to DHT. Genetics play a major role.
Use higher rep ranges (15 reps) and ensure proper form on side raises to avoid anterior delt dominance. Mind-muscle connection can help.
If still losing weight, increase calories by 300-500 per day and monitor weekly averages.
Dietary cholesterol is balanced by the body's production in healthy individuals. If you have cholesterol issues, consult a doctor.
Focus on high-rep leg exercises (squats, lunges) to improve endurance without adding excessive muscle mass.
Glute ham raises and Nordic curls are effective.
Carbs are easier, but prioritize protein to minimize fat gain.
Splits are easier to manage because you can be more consistent. Full body requires careful intensity distribution to avoid fatigue.
The creator has only fasted up to 24 hours (16:8 IF). He enjoys it for calorie control but doesn't believe it has magical muscle-preserving effects.
Don't be scared by the documentary. Vegan lifting is fine if you enjoy it, but animal products are also okay.
Not necessary. Caffeine can help a few extra reps, but gains are possible without it. For a 15-year-old, supplements are generally not recommended.
Prioritize one goal. If marathon is primary, do mostly running with light weightlifting. Switch priorities in the off-season.
Large leg muscles demand high blood flow, making squats feel cardio-heavy. Try lower rep ranges (5-8) to focus on strength.
Full body is recommended to hit each muscle group 2-3 times per week. Some PPL splits also work for three days.
It's better than nothing but limited for progression. For strength and muscle gains, weighted exercises are more efficient.
If BMR is dropping fast, reassess your deficit. Consider reverse dieting, mini cuts, or diet breaks, but avoid overeating.
Supplement with protein shakes containing fruits, nuts, and oats. Join the discord for personalized advice.
Try a wider hand placement and use mind-muscle connection. Strengthen triceps if they are the limiting factor. Add chest flies if possible.
Continue cutting to reduce remaining belly fat. Lower abs are often the last to show.
Whole foods like fruits, grains, and protein shakes. Check the discord for a detailed list.
Start when you're satisfied with strength/muscle gains and want to lose fat. Ease into a deficit by first trying maintenance with added cardio.
The creator emphasizes consistency, proper nutrition, and progressive overload as the foundations of fitness success. He encourages viewers to join his community for personalized support and to take action rather than overthink.

42:44[00:00] for you but for the United States it is
[00:01] but uh hey thanks for stopping by
[00:04] everybody I am gonna have this Q&A for
[00:08] maybe an hour now okay someone were you
[00:11] did a super chat now I'm gonna try
[00:13] answer as many questions as I can but
[00:15] just as Connie Connie Connie just did he
[00:18] you can do super chats and I will be
[00:20] able to see your questions a little bit
[00:21] better and I will prioritize though so
[00:25] thank you Thank You Connie but yeah
[00:27] let's let's start the Q&A thanks for
[00:29] stopping by everybody
[00:30] I'm gonna sit I sit yeah maybe up until
[00:34] 9:30
[00:35] maybe 9:45 I'm gonna run this and just a
[00:38] quick note I do want to let you guys
[00:40] know that it is Black Friday in the
[00:43] States and I'm gonna have a little bit
[00:44] of Black Friday sale myself on pick fit
[00:46] shop calm if you guys would like to
[00:48] check that out 30% off all t-shirts
[00:51] about am I gonna bump already you guys
[00:53] right now with that let's get to some
[00:54] questions so let's start with Connie's
[00:57] question I hope I'm saying your name
[00:58] right my left bicep is smaller than my
[01:01] right what is the best way to make them
[01:03] even so I am assuming you are a beginner
[01:06] and usually what I tell beginners that
[01:08] have concerns about different muscle
[01:11] sizes especially especially with your
[01:13] arms is to keep training first and
[01:16] foremost you can keep continue your
[01:18] bilateral training your two to arm
[01:20] training your your barbell bicep curls
[01:22] or your single arm curls try to keep the
[01:24] weights similar on both sides for now
[01:27] and just give it some time it's gonna
[01:28] take some time to develop especially on
[01:30] to the site that you're not more used to
[01:32] using you can try something like
[01:34] mind-muscle connection which does have
[01:36] some some kind of connection to certain
[01:40] theories that might promote greater
[01:41] muscle growth on our particular muscle
[01:44] you're concentrating place it does
[01:46] increase stimulation of said muscle what
[01:48] which might increase metabolites other
[01:51] growth factors kicking in and hopefully
[01:53] that can help you grow that muscle that
[01:56] you're more concerned about for the most
[01:58] part I always suggest people to hey just
[02:00] keep training if you're a beginner you
[02:02] know things are not going to look
[02:03] exactly like what you want it to look
[02:04] keep training do the things that you
[02:06] need to do follow a program especially a
[02:09] program that will have acessory work for
[02:11] your biceps and see what that can do
[02:13] for you overtime but again I'll say at
[02:16] least give it six months one year to see
[02:19] any type of significant changes on both
[02:21] sides and if it is a very noticeable
[02:24] difference at that point then you might
[02:26] want to address this with some more
[02:28] unilateral work or even look into your
[02:31] reform and you might be favoring one
[02:33] side or the other but for the most part
[02:35] beginners take your time with it no need
[02:37] to rush it just you know keep training
[02:40] hello hello you sound like a scientific
[02:44] paper even though you're not reading a
[02:46] text who said I'm not maybe maybe Connie
[02:49] paid me to read a text you never know
[02:51] but yeah this is how I sound for the
[02:53] most part do you have a favorite
[02:55] pre-workout drink energy drink I don't
[02:57] drink energy drinks for pre workouts I
[02:59] do have a pre-workout now usually I
[03:01] don't don't announce or say anything
[03:04] about certain brands because I don't
[03:06] want it to seem like some sort of
[03:07] endorsement but for the most part I do
[03:10] try very different ones to write net
[03:12] right now the one I'm trying is cellucor
[03:15] c4 which is very very very common and
[03:17] popular and for the most part that works
[03:20] for me I really feel the beta alanine
[03:22] tingles the paresthesia you can call it
[03:25] and it's cool it has a decent amount of
[03:27] caffeine for me there's a multiple
[03:29] amount so you have like the extreme or
[03:31] whatever and that I believe that one has
[03:33] like about 300 320 milligrams of
[03:35] caffeine which is pretty high for a lot
[03:36] of people so I took the one with um with
[03:38] around 118 milligrams and then has it's
[03:41] a big beta alanine and all that fun
[03:44] stuff in it let's keep going I hope you
[03:48] guys liked the video last yesterday you
[03:50] guys didn't watch it please come check
[03:51] it out of you haven't feel free to let
[03:54] me know how what do you think about it
[03:56] if you did but yeah let's keep going
[03:59] thoughts on knees over knees over feet
[04:02] during squats that's ok especially if
[04:05] you're doing something like a if you're
[04:07] not used to doing something that is more
[04:10] of a low back squat you might have your
[04:12] knees shooting over your feet and that's
[04:14] ok like people will have that issue now
[04:17] the only thing that I would recommend is
[04:19] that you try to train yourself
[04:20] especially with a high bar squat is to
[04:22] not overshoot on your knees or overshoot
[04:25] on your feet with your knees just so you
[04:27] can practice that
[04:27] right mobility of right dropping down
[04:30] with your squat rather than pushing hips
[04:32] back and then having a nice treat
[04:33] forward that might help with a little
[04:36] bit more just trying to stay upright so
[04:38] you can push more so or have a more
[04:41] aligned squat form that way do you push
[04:43] more with your quads and you don't have
[04:45] to be too overly concerned about
[04:46] overshooting and having a lot of your
[04:48] low back kick in when you do your squats
[04:51] any tips on bulking well for the most
[04:55] part if you I'm sorry I can't really say
[04:57] your names pretty tough you're eating a
[05:00] right you're eating enough eating your
[05:01] surpluses so if you haven't seen my
[05:03] bulking videos for the most part bulking
[05:05] is that straight for as it will sound
[05:07] you will eat more than your total daily
[05:09] energy expenditure so the hardest part
[05:11] is figuring out what your TDE is first
[05:13] and foremost so we can use like
[05:15] different TDE calculators on the
[05:17] internet I believe once called TDE calc
[05:19] calm or net I'm not sure I forgot
[05:21] exactly but it searched what that is
[05:24] first and try to calculate for yourself
[05:25] now the problem with a lot of TDE
[05:27] calculators out there it's that it's
[05:29] only an estimate right so you can use it
[05:31] you punch all the numbers you're it's
[05:33] gonna ask for their different
[05:34] anthropometric measures you punch all
[05:36] that in and it's gonna shoot out a
[05:38] number and what you can try to do is to
[05:40] just take that number and and try to eat
[05:43] that amount of calories for like a week
[05:45] or so if you don't gain or maybe two
[05:47] weeks if you don't gain in a week any
[05:49] weight during that two week time frame
[05:51] then you say okay it's pretty close to
[05:53] my maintenance and I'm gonna try to stay
[05:55] there and well I know that's my
[05:57] maintenance and it's and that means if I
[05:59] want to bulk then I'm gonna try to eat a
[06:00] little bit more than that moving forward
[06:02] but if you're losing weight on that
[06:04] number that they punched out then it's
[06:06] actually a deficit so you have to get a
[06:08] little bit more so your your actual TDE
[06:10] is a little bit higher or if you're
[06:12] already gaining weight while following
[06:14] the TDE then you know that you already
[06:16] kind of in a bulk and your actual tdee
[06:18] is a little bit lower so for the most
[06:21] part find out that estimate first see if
[06:23] it's an actual accurate estimate if it
[06:25] is then cool if you want a book you're
[06:27] gonna eat a little bit more then of
[06:29] course you need to train so follow a
[06:31] program that's cater mostly to
[06:33] hypertrophy but it can be like a power
[06:35] hypertrophy program or more like a
[06:37] strength mix hypertrophy Angela
[06:39] program that's fine too but that's the
[06:42] best basics if you struggle figuring out
[06:44] how to apply those basics for yourself
[06:47] then you're gonna need a more nuanced
[06:49] and specific answer but it also requires
[06:53] more more details on your end and if you
[06:56] feel like you want to do that you feel
[06:57] free feel free to join our discord
[06:59] community and we're more so more more
[07:01] than likely more than happy to help and
[07:03] that's a discord GT slash picture of it
[07:07] so come check it out thank you for the
[07:10] super chat by the way appreciate it
[07:12] thoughts about the game changers
[07:15] especially on the benefits of a limiting
[07:17] cholesterol and trans fat tips when I
[07:19] hit plateau on debt okay you're asking a
[07:21] lot of questions first thing about games
[07:23] game changers I'll be honest I have not
[07:26] watched it I have watched some critique
[07:29] on it and as far as I can tell it
[07:32] follows the same type of documentary
[07:35] cliche make things seem neither better
[07:38] or worse than it really is and use very
[07:41] specific anecdotes or very specific
[07:43] context of science of research to try to
[07:47] push a point so for the most part it's
[07:49] it blows things out of proportion for
[07:51] its own favor and then it undermines or
[07:54] really plays little to things that are
[07:57] more on the average side so again I
[08:00] haven't watched it so to be completely
[08:02] honest I can't fully comment on it but
[08:04] what I understand and do have seen with
[08:06] other documentaries are very similar
[08:08] nature is that a lot of things work and
[08:11] the idea of one thing being extremely
[08:13] superior to another it's kind of bogus a
[08:16] lot of things to work like even I can
[08:18] tell you right now like I would advocate
[08:19] for you to get protein mainly from like
[08:22] you know animal sources or dairy sources
[08:24] but to be honest with you plant sources
[08:26] work just as fine but it's might you
[08:29] might require certain higher dosages to
[08:31] reach certain amounts of specific amino
[08:33] acids for so for like your BCAA cereal
[08:36] ooh scenes you you do need flu scene
[08:39] just to stimulate your muscle protein
[08:41] synthesis
[08:42] especially after workout but it doesn't
[08:44] have to be timed correctly but um so in
[08:46] that case plant-based proteins to have
[08:48] lower levels of leucine so you will have
[08:50] to eat a little bit more just to hit
[08:53] that Lucy
[08:54] that I showed for your body and thus you
[08:56] know you might consider to consider that
[08:58] a little bit inferior compared to
[09:00] something like whey which will have your
[09:02] hit you're losing the rush so it's a lot
[09:04] faster with smaller amounts but for the
[09:07] most part it can work fine then thinking
[09:09] about a lot of these documentaries is
[09:11] that you take somebody that had live an
[09:14] animal-based diet for most of their
[09:17] lives and then all of a sudden you
[09:19] transition them to plant base and they
[09:22] improve better great but for the most
[09:23] part is that they maintain and it's not
[09:26] necessarily because all they switch to
[09:27] plant base is the fact that they built
[09:29] themselves up to that point with the
[09:32] their their animal-based diet and then
[09:35] they're a route to maintain with the
[09:36] plant-based cool that's that's nothing
[09:38] exactly mind-blowing but again I haven't
[09:41] watched the documentary I don't plan to
[09:43] watch it so if you want to see someone
[09:45] break it down like minute by minute or
[09:47] whatever I'm probably not the person for
[09:49] you I just just don't find time or
[09:52] enjoyment in watching documentaries like
[09:54] that as much as relevant as it is to to
[09:57] my own career of health and fitness can
[10:00] I show my face I get this a lot for the
[10:04] most part for now probably not so you
[10:08] guys can keep asking your tests but I
[10:11] don't have any intentions like yes for
[10:15] the ones that were you follow me for
[10:16] quite a while now you know why it
[10:17] doesn't matter to me right it's like I
[10:19] don't really care about myself being the
[10:22] forefront of the information I rather
[10:25] have the information speak for itself so
[10:27] I understand why guess wants to connect
[10:29] a face to certain persona and so on of
[10:32] course do you want create that
[10:33] relatability you want to see if I
[10:34] actually am actually fitting all that
[10:36] fun stuff but again I just let the
[10:38] research speak for myself before itself
[10:41] not myself and then if you have
[10:43] questions or criticism for the
[10:45] information or how I interpret it feel
[10:48] free to call me out because that's what
[10:49] that's what it's all about it's not
[10:51] about me it's about the information and
[10:52] if you don't like how I'm telling you
[10:54] the information then tell me then now
[10:56] try to do better and if I don't do
[10:58] better or I have like maybe arguments or
[11:01] debates about how you criticize my
[11:03] interpretations and then I'm just going
[11:05] to tell you and then we have a little
[11:07] argue many of you like but for the most
[11:09] part I don't really care about me being
[11:11] the forefront of of my videos and I'm
[11:13] gonna keep it that way when I do
[11:17] deadlifts near failure becomes dark in
[11:19] my eyes it sounds bad just like when I
[11:22] stand up really quickly any tips on what
[11:24] to do so you might be just shot with a
[11:25] lack of oxygen especially if you have
[11:28] very strong constrictions during your
[11:30] delos which a lot of people do so that's
[11:32] why people get lightheaded and whenever
[11:33] they do very heavy debtless what I can
[11:35] recommend for you is that if you're
[11:36] doing like a 5 rep max or like you're
[11:38] going for a 5 3 to 5 rep ranges within
[11:40] your deadlifts don't shoot for failure
[11:42] is just 2 - especially with deadlifts
[11:44] it's mainly specifically to tellers just
[11:47] because of the complexity of the
[11:49] movement it's the fact that it does have
[11:50] lah constrictions you just don't want to
[11:53] have to put yourself in a position where
[11:54] you might pass out you might get to like
[11:56] edit where you just don't feel good you
[11:58] know so what so some movements it just
[12:01] doesn't make sense to go to failure and
[12:02] by far the movement that would relate to
[12:05] that the most is deadlifts so what I can
[12:08] recommend for you is that if you want
[12:09] get stronger you don't necessarily have
[12:11] to train to that point where you're
[12:13] going near failure or even like very
[12:15] near failure with deadlifts you can just
[12:17] stick with a 5 rep range and then do
[12:18] like one or two reps in reserve and you
[12:21] should be fine don't push it too far and
[12:24] if you feel like you might have weak
[12:25] accessories or you have we glutes hands
[12:27] whatever you want to specifically
[12:30] pinpoint to those things do things like
[12:31] glute ham Reese's noir Nordic curls and
[12:34] just target those more specifically
[12:36] rather than just try and grind out
[12:37] heavier and heavier deadlifts because
[12:39] for the most part what about Daedalus is
[12:41] that it will take a lot of time to
[12:42] recover as well so even doing like a 5 a
[12:46] 5 rep 5x5 5 reps for an RP of 8 or 9
[12:50] it's still very taxing on your body and
[12:52] you will feel it the next day and it's
[12:54] gonna take a little bit more time to
[12:55] recover but you will get those gains as
[12:58] long as you're on top of your nutrition
[12:59] you're on top of your actual training
[13:01] try hit that 2 times a week and you will
[13:03] see that strength go up so don't worry
[13:06] about having to go to failure so often
[13:07] especially with Atlas
[13:10] did I get my protein today I haven't
[13:12] actually it's pretty early for me and I
[13:14] had a long a long two days that yes long
[13:18] two days Thanksgiving in the day before
[13:20] so I didn't get a lot of sleep I woke up
[13:22] around I want to say like 7:30 today so
[13:24] it's been a little bit slow and groggy
[13:26] morning for me I feel better
[13:28] so I got enough sleep to run this Q&A I
[13:30] feel it I feel pretty good nothing's
[13:32] nothing's feeling slow I might feel a
[13:35] little bit sluggish on my words but I
[13:37] try to sound as as you know as I guess I
[13:40] can't and if some things don't make
[13:42] sense please let me know
[13:44] Terry detail I want to increase my
[13:47] calories due to lack of weight gain
[13:49] which of the macronutrients should I
[13:51] increase of course if you ask me it's
[13:54] gonna be protein but only because you
[13:57] will have a little bit less trouble
[14:00] gaining fat which is probably what you
[14:02] want when you're gaining weight so
[14:04] apparently if you eat more protein
[14:05] chances of gaining fat is a lot lower
[14:07] compared to eating more carbs and fats
[14:09] but for the most part if you're not even
[14:11] gaining any weight then I was first and
[14:13] foremost tell you yeah try to hit your
[14:15] protein range so whatever it might be
[14:17] might be 1.6 1.8 grams per kilogram hit
[14:20] that range first and then try to fill up
[14:22] everything else with carbs and fats of
[14:23] course you want to at least like a
[14:24] minimum and take a fats to about 20 to
[14:27] 25% and then you start filling
[14:29] everything else with whatever you can if
[14:32] you have trouble just doing that like
[14:34] it's just the fact that you can't eat
[14:35] that much now I'll look into you more on
[14:37] making your own shakes at home so make
[14:39] like a protein shake but mix it in with
[14:40] like some nuts some fruits whatever
[14:43] anything you can add that would add more
[14:45] calories of course nothing that's to
[14:46] process but try add as much as you can
[14:49] into that shake so we can't just have
[14:51] one like big calorie bomb but you know
[14:53] for the most part you'd want just to eat
[14:55] your meals and try to hit your calories
[14:57] that way but if you can't that's why I
[14:59] would recommend just creating your own
[15:00] kind of homemade homemade shake that
[15:03] will allow you to increase your calories
[15:04] pretty fairly easily compared to trying
[15:07] to eat more more you know meats or even
[15:09] like down more plants whatever it is
[15:11] that might be better for you
[15:14] how to avoid stretch marks while losing
[15:17] weight or gaining muscle this is the one
[15:18] that I could never figure out myself of
[15:20] course these doesn't them the best
[15:22] answer is to be more gradual with your
[15:25] your gain or your loss
[15:27] but I've always had trouble with the
[15:29] stretch marks and and for the most part
[15:30] I just ignore at this point I don't I
[15:33] mean as you grow older a lot of things
[15:35] start mattering a lot less so stretch
[15:37] marks for me would be one of those
[15:39] before I would try like aloe vera to try
[15:43] to mitigate it but like I really don't
[15:45] know notice the difference and if you
[15:48] had it for quite a while now I I feel
[15:51] that you kind of had to bear with it at
[15:54] this point and hopefully it goes away
[15:55] but for the most part I don't have the
[15:57] research and I've never done research to
[15:59] figure out about stretch marks because
[16:01] it's never been a big issue for me of
[16:02] course it might be a big issue for you
[16:04] guys so it might be something I will
[16:05] look into in the future but for now I
[16:07] don't exactly have the answer for that
[16:11] rich which brand of whey protein do you
[16:14] recommend
[16:15] so again just just a heads up I'm not
[16:17] trying to promote I'm just more so you
[16:20] know recommending based on what I use
[16:22] and what I'm used to now okay for this I
[16:24] would just recommend you look at lab
[16:26] door comm so let me type that out on the
[16:28] chat so thank you again for the super
[16:32] chat very different person I'm not sure
[16:34] I'm sorry if it is okay they didn't like
[16:37] but go to lab door comm and they will
[16:40] have they'll break it down for you
[16:41] though they'll have different rankings
[16:43] for different proteins protein shakes
[16:45] and different supplements for the most
[16:47] part so what they look into is like
[16:49] protein value protein digestibility
[16:51] protein content so even though like a
[16:53] certain protein shake supplement might
[16:55] say that it has 30 grams of protein it
[16:57] might not actually have that many and it
[16:59] might not have the best amino acid
[17:01] profile that it should might be
[17:03] different or there's other
[17:04] fortifications that goes into it that
[17:06] doesn't necessarily was never advertised
[17:08] within the the the product itself so
[17:12] look at lab door comm they do pretty
[17:15] good analysis for a lot of the protein
[17:17] supplements out there and they'll give
[17:19] you a more neutral I want to say of
[17:20] course I don't know for sure they have
[17:22] like any high biases for themselves like
[17:24] at this point they're pretty big and I
[17:25] wouldn't be surprised if like
[17:27] no someone tried to try to buy him out
[17:29] or something but I don't know so I'm
[17:31] just kind of curious about that bad
[17:34] for the most part they seem reliable and
[17:36] I do get usually I'll get like one of
[17:39] the top five protein shakes in there so
[17:41] it works for me so maybe you should
[17:43] check that out yourself I'm a medical
[17:47] student and my stereotype sits 24/7 on
[17:50] books what's the best advice you give in
[17:51] terms of getting fit so don't be your
[17:54] stereotype I guess I'm not sure would
[17:56] you watch you let me tell you so if you
[17:58] are studying a lot or you are busy
[18:00] working a lot whatever it might be
[18:01] there's always some time like the fact
[18:04] that you're here down checking out this
[18:05] chat which thank you I appreciate it but
[18:08] if you do have time to check out chats
[18:09] like this if you go on browse on the
[18:11] internet a lot take that time and
[18:13] translate it to going to the gym that
[18:15] that's pretty much it but you have to be
[18:17] real with yourself look at the times
[18:19] that you use during your day that you
[18:21] you have for free like now what can you
[18:24] do with that time do you want to just
[18:26] sit around and be lazy okay that's fine
[18:28] or do you want to take that time and do
[18:30] something which is great and then if you
[18:32] can do it again and again and again
[18:34] hopefully you can build it into a habit
[18:35] so for the most part you kind of have to
[18:39] evaluate where you stand on how serious
[18:42] you want to be with your training first
[18:44] and foremost and then how you prioritize
[18:47] your fitness overall so if you
[18:49] prioritize it very highly like most
[18:52] people should then you probably wouldn't
[18:55] be sitting here and I'm not trying to
[18:57] call you out just to let you know this
[18:59] is a lot of this applies a lot of people
[19:01] but if you do prioritize it high enough
[19:04] then you should take this time that you
[19:06] are here now just drop leave the chat
[19:08] leave the stream and start doing
[19:11] something go go for a walk go for a run
[19:13] go through the gym whatever whatever you
[19:15] feel like you can do something different
[19:17] just don't get comfortable impact how
[19:20] are you how was your day so my day just
[19:22] kind of started and it's going well
[19:23] pretty pretty so far I mean nothing's
[19:26] going bad in the chat if I miss some of
[19:28] your questions which I have of course
[19:29] I'm sorry but I will try to answer as
[19:31] many questions as you can
[19:32] of course like it like I said if you do
[19:34] you can do the super chat no pressure
[19:37] so I'm drunk I'm gonna try to get to
[19:39] your question as much as I can
[19:41] but of course if you do the super chat
[19:42] it will prioritize your question to me
[19:44] and I'll say thank you first and
[19:46] foremost and then I'll make sure I'll
[19:48] answer your questions I can see see
[19:50] that's a super chat right there I'm not
[19:52] sure how much that is but that's cool I
[19:54] appreciate it
[19:54] I think blue box is kind of the lower
[19:56] end but that's cool supertastic or she
[19:58] was skinny fat stay in calorie deficits
[20:01] doing resistance training you don't have
[20:05] to so you can actually be in a bulk
[20:07] during your skinny fat and the thing
[20:10] about this is that of course people can
[20:12] be concerned about getting too fat
[20:13] especially when they're kind of skinny
[20:14] fat but the fact that you start at a
[20:16] lower threshold because yes so little
[20:18] muscle mass you're gonna build muscle
[20:20] fairly quickly and of course you're
[20:22] gonna put maybes on some more absolute
[20:24] fat but your the level the the relative
[20:26] level of muscles that you're gonna gain
[20:28] versus the relative amount of fat that
[20:31] you're gonna have it's gonna start
[20:32] favoring more muscle so you can't be in
[20:35] a bulk and maybe it suggested as long as
[20:37] you're skinny fat is not that bad like
[20:40] you're actually close to 15 percent body
[20:42] fat and you just look kind of skinny fat
[20:44] because you just had you don't have a
[20:46] lot of muscle mass then being in a
[20:49] slight bulk it might not be a bad thing
[20:51] of course if you just want to start
[20:53] shedding that fat then you might want to
[20:55] consider a deficit or even like a stain
[20:57] near maintenance and then gaining weight
[21:00] I mean uh gaining muscle while hopefully
[21:03] you lose some fat at the same time
[21:04] sounds cool
[21:06] what got you into well thank you again
[21:09] Casey for the super chat appreciate it
[21:12] we got what got you into doing this
[21:14] YouTube channel so I've been doing
[21:19] finish for pretty much my whole life
[21:21] it's always been like one of the top
[21:22] topics of my life like ever since I was
[21:26] 11 years old pretty much like the first
[21:28] thing I ever did like first time I ever
[21:30] fell in love with like working out or
[21:32] just training or just fitness was when
[21:34] my brother which was 14 at the time
[21:36] happened to like bump and bump into some
[21:39] weird stone dumbbells outside of our
[21:42] apartment building and we're rapport so
[21:44] we couldn't afford or go to go to the
[21:46] gym or even have our own equipment or
[21:48] anything so you found those like thrown
[21:49] out next to a dumpster or something
[21:51] fried it back in we cleaned it and then
[21:54] we started like just
[21:54] messing around with some dumbbells
[21:56] handing us like at Moe's was like 10
[21:57] pounds but that thing felt heavy as hell
[21:59] when you're 11 years old right so after
[22:02] I started like messing around they're
[22:04] like this fund is cool I could like
[22:05] build my muscle and I'm always doing
[22:07] like a little small guy so being able to
[22:09] like you know and at least look fit even
[22:10] though I'm small was always like a good
[22:13] thing for me so eventually I built like
[22:15] a lot of interest into that kind of
[22:17] stuff which helped a lot with like my
[22:19] own self-esteem whatever so eventually
[22:21] it became just just my passion so
[22:24] fast-forward like 20 years later almost
[22:26] 20 years like 15 years later did my
[22:29] degree in kinesiology did my certified
[22:32] personal training didn't really enjoy
[22:35] working at for for like big box gyms
[22:38] I've just felt like there's too much too
[22:39] many politics in it and not a lot of
[22:42] money for the politics yet to deal with
[22:44] for like working at those big box gyms
[22:46] so I started doing my own thing on the
[22:48] side like going to houses helping people
[22:50] work out in their own home and that was
[22:52] really really fun and I really enjoyed
[22:55] that but I just felt like you know I
[22:56] want to reach a bigger audience and then
[22:58] of course what's a bigger audience than
[23:00] the Internet right so I just started
[23:02] messing around with YouTube and here we
[23:04] are
[23:05] you mentioned don't get comfortable how
[23:09] do you think we can fight indulging into
[23:11] junk eating binge eating
[23:12] skipping workouts in general slacking
[23:14] off this is a very very personal
[23:16] question and and thus you had to treat
[23:18] it very personally so a lot of people
[23:21] yeah like it's easy to for someone like
[23:23] my end or anyone to just kind of observe
[23:25] someone that's not doing like a lot of
[23:27] work out and they're you know considered
[23:29] lazy or whatever and really criticized
[23:31] them but everyone that has their own
[23:33] personal issues that might lead to lack
[23:37] of it
[23:38] exercise the lack of or the increase in
[23:40] binge eating or the lack of eating Whole
[23:43] Foods you know it could be in the
[23:44] environment you grow up in might be what
[23:46] your parents always fed you and you're
[23:47] used to it it might be that you have a
[23:51] lot of stress in your life and you find
[23:52] comfort in certain foods or not doing
[23:54] certain things and that's fine that
[23:56] that's just how life is so that in that
[23:59] sense you're gonna have to figure that
[24:00] out for yourself for the most part so
[24:03] when I had clients that had trouble with
[24:05] with just not eating or just eating too
[24:07] much or
[24:08] even I really never had clients that had
[24:10] troubled not eating enough but for the
[24:12] most part I had clients that always had
[24:13] trouble eating and always relate back to
[24:15] like their habits of what they reach to
[24:18] reach for at the grocery store so they
[24:20] always had a habit of like reaching for
[24:22] certain foods because they're used to
[24:23] eating that type of food and I was like
[24:26] hey let's look into your grocery list
[24:27] and see where you're buying these stuff
[24:29] it's like oh I bought this because my
[24:31] mom always bought in I love it and it's
[24:32] always like remind me of home but it's
[24:34] like a really big fat junk food edifying
[24:36] or that they're by this because
[24:38] culturally this is what they always eat
[24:39] and they're used to eating it and so
[24:42] it's like it's just it's just the first
[24:44] thing they reach for so a lot of for a
[24:46] la Asian cultures that'll be white rice
[24:48] which is not that bad but the fact that
[24:50] has very simple carbs and you can eat a
[24:52] lot of amounts and gain a lot of eat a
[24:55] lot calories at calories out of it like
[24:57] people don't really pay attention to
[24:58] that but it's a oh I'd always eat like a
[25:00] bowl or two bowls of rice every for
[25:02] every meal but then they didn't realize
[25:04] like that's four hundred five hundred
[25:06] calories of pretty much almost in yours
[25:08] just straight carbs with a little bit of
[25:10] protein so when you have to look at
[25:13] those kind of environments that those
[25:15] type of habits that you build over time
[25:16] and then you have to first and foremost
[25:18] as we acknowledge it understand it like
[25:21] okay is this really a good idea for me
[25:23] to do even though those cultural ease
[25:25] might be what I've been doing all the
[25:26] time memory wise this is what my mom
[25:29] always got me so I want to eat it then
[25:31] you buddy then you have to be real with
[25:32] yourself like is this the best choice
[25:34] for you and then it's gonna take a
[25:36] little bit of restraint no matter what
[25:38] its gonna take restraint you're gonna
[25:39] get uncomfortable doing certain things
[25:41] that you have to do now but that's where
[25:43] you start yet to figure out exactly why
[25:46] you do certain things and what he can do
[25:48] to change it and then hopefully that
[25:50] will lead to more and more better
[25:51] decisions of eating healthier working
[25:55] out more and so on so I could say the
[25:57] same for myself like back then before I
[26:00] start lifting weights I just play video
[26:01] I still play a lot video games but like
[26:03] back then like before I was 11 all that
[26:04] stuff a lot of coke all that uh not not
[26:07] not cocaine a lot of coca-cola
[26:10] a lot of rice a lot of not working out
[26:14] and just kind of sitting around right so
[26:17] before I kind of fell in love with the
[26:19] dumbbells and other fun stuff I didn't
[26:21] do anything
[26:21] but one
[26:22] I started like developing this interest
[26:23] in the dumbbells everything changed like
[26:25] I started doing less of the game-playing
[26:27] instead I'll go do push-ups and work out
[26:30] go for a run and then that developed
[26:33] over time so it might be something you
[26:36] want consider but thank you for the
[26:38] superjet sorry for the long answer and I
[26:40] hope that kind of at least set you for
[26:42] it in some sort of path some sort of
[26:44] direction that might help you out what
[26:46] do you consider as natty so no steroids
[26:49] that's pretty much it
[26:50] why does my body prefer losing fat in my
[26:53] face and arms but not in my belly my
[26:56] belly bait skin is that he's saying bait
[26:58] skin bait skin people just or fast in
[27:02] different areas that's really what he
[27:03] had to pay attention to so mostly a lot
[27:05] of people will store it around their
[27:05] abdomen abdomen region their booty a lot
[27:09] of people store in their booty not
[27:11] everybody so yeah you might just lose
[27:13] lose fat fat fat fat I'm speaking weird
[27:16] loose fat there blast because that's
[27:18] where your body prefers to store it how
[27:22] can I prevent muscle soreness after
[27:24] every workout you can change the type of
[27:26] workout you're doing but if you don't
[27:27] want to do that then you kinda have to
[27:28] just bear with it so you are following a
[27:30] program I would say just bear with it
[27:32] eat more protein get your protein in I
[27:33] mean you might want to do some foam
[27:35] rolling before and after see that can
[27:36] help you but that's about it you the
[27:38] best thing you can do to to prevent or
[27:41] reduce soreness from your workouts is to
[27:43] keep working out sounds kind of
[27:45] counterintuitive but that's how your
[27:46] body responds to working out kind of the
[27:48] repeated bat effect like everything you
[27:49] do every little kind of dose you take
[27:51] your body becomes better and better
[27:52] responding to it so that's what you want
[27:55] to do - for your training so the more
[27:57] and more you work out the more and more
[27:58] consistently you work out if you take a
[27:59] break everything changes
[28:01] more and more consistently you work out
[28:02] the better and better your body can
[28:04] respond to the soreness then you will be
[28:06] a lot less sore after every workout but
[28:09] it will take you time to get up to that
[28:11] point I mean even like the strongest and
[28:14] most consistent people these days it
[28:16] will get sore because either they
[28:17] changed let's say butt workout they're
[28:19] doing mm-hmm they do some sort of
[28:22] eccentric phase or they do the the go
[28:25] they changed their rep ranges completely
[28:27] from like it's completely different from
[28:29] what they did before so there are there
[28:31] are scenarios where soreness will come
[28:32] back in even though we've been training
[28:34] consistently and
[28:35] a love of change it happens within your
[28:38] own training program that might lead to
[28:40] that I'm 15 give me a second I have one
[28:47] my monstera Trent is trying to contact
[28:48] me give me a second
[29:04] I need to handle these mods actually I'm
[29:06] not sure how I do manage moderator okay
[29:10] let's just move on for now let's see if
[29:12] I can get that going later let's keep
[29:15] going
[29:16] ditz in eating 27 inch calories a day
[29:18] began working out one month ago training
[29:21] three times a week seeing some muscles
[29:24] appearing on my arms but I maintain a
[29:26] weight do I need more so three times a
[29:30] week is totally fine it's only been a
[29:31] month I don't know exactly how much
[29:33] twenty-seven of calories means to you
[29:35] it's different for everybody right so
[29:37] 2700 calories for if someone's very
[29:39] skinny might be a surplus someone that
[29:41] has that's pretty big already has a lot
[29:42] most mass that might be a maintenance or
[29:44] even a deficit but let's just assume
[29:46] that is surplus for you because you are
[29:49] gaining muscle but you do maintain your
[29:51] weight so maybe you're closer to
[29:52] maintance do you need more I don't know
[29:55] for sure I didn't need to know your
[29:56] program more specifically but if you are
[29:58] say let's just say that your training is
[30:00] pretty pretty good pretty sufficient for
[30:04] three times a week and you're
[30:05] maintaining muscle maintaining weight
[30:06] and you're building muscle you're good
[30:08] you're just stay there if you want to
[30:10] gain muscle a little bit faster you
[30:11] might consider a little bit more of a
[30:13] bulk so maybe like eat 100 200 calories
[30:16] more than what you're doing now and
[30:17] let's see if that gets you a little bit
[30:19] further faster with your muscle gains
[30:21] but it's only been a month right you're
[30:23] not gonna see much in a month you gotta
[30:25] give it some time can you suggest a
[30:30] supplement stack for freestyle wrestling
[30:33] I can't sorry that's too specific and
[30:35] it's not my place to to give you support
[30:39] based supplements tacs
[30:43] hey question if you work out four to
[30:46] three months straight and take a break
[30:47] for one month then straight working out
[30:50] again do you stop getting baby beacon
[30:52] gains i'm skinny on whisking the muscle
[30:54] so beginner gains is the thing about
[30:58] beginner gains is that there's no strong
[31:00] definitive definition to hit definitive
[31:03] there's no definitive term to it so we
[31:06] don't know exactly when it's gonna stop
[31:07] we don't know exactly how it works
[31:09] exactly we just know that for beginners
[31:11] they have a much greater propensity for
[31:14] growth so that can be muscle growth
[31:16] technique well mainly muscle growth but
[31:18] also like you can actually lose fat
[31:20] fairly easily too but you can't build
[31:22] muscle very quickly so is it on a
[31:25] timeframe not necessarily it's more so
[31:28] based on how perfect you're doing
[31:30] everything so your training program is
[31:32] absolutely optimal but you're maximizing
[31:35] it to the point or and your nutrition is
[31:37] perfect and you're getting all the
[31:39] protein you need then you'll see your
[31:43] your gains go pretty drastically as you
[31:45] continue and continue and continue but
[31:47] then if someone does like a very
[31:49] insufficient training and and eats very
[31:52] little protein or doesn't have a great
[31:54] diet and the the for the same amount of
[31:56] time frame let's just say six months of
[31:58] course the person that was having a more
[32:00] of a perfect approach would hit their
[32:02] their their beginner threshold much
[32:04] quicker than someone that has a very
[32:06] insufficient or any effective approach
[32:08] so that's why there's a really no
[32:10] timeframe on it like we don't know
[32:11] exactly how to perfect your program to
[32:13] the point where everything is absolutely
[32:15] perfect all we can do is use best
[32:17] practices like train to two to three
[32:19] times train your muscles to three times
[32:20] a week go for a certain hypertrophy
[32:23] volume if we can get more protein one
[32:26] point six to two point three grams but
[32:28] again it's still not clear exactly if
[32:30] that's can be perfect for you
[32:31] specifically for every single person so
[32:34] in that case we can't really put a time
[32:36] a gauge on how beginner gains how long
[32:38] that's gonna last your new B gains but
[32:40] what I can tell you is that the best way
[32:42] for me to gauge it is just based on your
[32:44] your your let's word progression so
[32:48] let's just say I'm doing best practice
[32:50] as much as I can with a client and
[32:51] they're gaining muscle they're getting
[32:53] stronger every single week they put it
[32:55] like two
[32:56] those over like five pounds on the
[32:58] weights of the bench whatever their
[32:59] squats that lives and they have no
[33:01] problem with a linear progression so
[33:03] they always see progression after every
[33:05] single workout every single week so that
[33:08] to me they're still a beginner because
[33:10] they have that luxury of getting
[33:12] stronger and stronger and stronger
[33:13] without having to have like certain
[33:14] cycles that cater to certain certain
[33:17] adaptations they're just getting
[33:19] stronger stronger more muscle no problem
[33:22] everything looks good and then when they
[33:24] start slowing down a little bit let's
[33:26] just say we're sticking with a linear
[33:28] progression program and then two weeks
[33:29] in they're not seeing progression and in
[33:32] three weeks they're finally seeing
[33:33] progression okay then now you're kind of
[33:35] more in an intermediate phase like less
[33:38] of a beginner in this case then you kind
[33:40] of had to change your program a little
[33:41] bit where you cater more specifically to
[33:44] certain goals so that you can maximize
[33:46] that goal first and then you jump into a
[33:48] different block then of course when it's
[33:51] that slows down even more and more and
[33:53] more and takes like a month two months
[33:54] to see any type of strength gains then
[33:57] you might moreso consider yourself as an
[34:00] events individual as you can say so in
[34:03] that case if you work out for two months
[34:05] take a break for one month and come back
[34:07] you're still complete like two months is
[34:09] nothing
[34:09] two months is nothing in the grand
[34:11] scheme of things so more than likely
[34:14] you're absolutely beginner especially we
[34:16] only started for two months IG Georgio
[34:19] you asked a question but it got
[34:21] retracted I'm not sure what happened
[34:23] sorry sorry about that that's kind of
[34:26] weird
[34:29] give me a second guys I'm gonna try to
[34:32] add one of my mods in right now and if I
[34:36] could do that really quickly trying to
[34:38] slow you guys down Manish moderators
[34:41] give me a second okay all right sorry I
[34:55] was just um checking one of my mods into
[34:58] here all right all right let's look at
[35:02] your questions again 9 o'clock now Wow
[35:04] Wow time was fast when you talk Oh
[35:08] what's up Annie
[35:11] nice to see you you know what forgot to
[35:14] join the voice chat
[35:15] let me ask everyone join the voice chat
[35:17] give me a second guys
[35:29] any second
[35:45] all right let's keep going let's keep
[35:48] going
[35:50] where did my browser go where did it go
[35:56] why is YouTube so confusing sometimes
[35:58] okay okay okay I think I figured it out
[36:04] all right stop sorry for the pause guys
[36:06] I was just getting some things worked on
[36:09] let's go back to your question is how
[36:11] important but how important in your
[36:14] micronutrients every day we track your
[36:15] macros it is really important so there's
[36:18] always deficiencies that people gonna
[36:20] run into usually it's gonna be your
[36:21] vitamin D your vitamin B's vitamin DS
[36:24] zinc it could be also magnesium so yeah
[36:28] you still want to track it if you feel
[36:30] like there's there's a very likelihood
[36:32] of deficiencies because if you know
[36:33] you're eating your macros very all
[36:34] macros or off foods are not created
[36:37] equal so certain foods are gonna have a
[36:39] certain amount of micronutrients and
[36:40] might have a high deficiency of others
[36:43] so I will still look into it now you can
[36:46] use like apps like My Fitness Pal and
[36:47] all that great stuff if you punch in all
[36:50] your stuff they do have like a
[36:51] micronutrient profile for a lot of food
[36:53] so that least the basic health foods
[36:54] that you might eat so if you're cooking
[36:56] a lot then it's gonna be a lot easier
[36:57] for you to kind of track those
[36:58] micronutrients on your eating a lot of
[37:00] processed ufff mm-hmm my last stuff like
[37:02] barcodes that are like pre-made or
[37:05] whatever it might be a little bit more
[37:06] difficult so you can try to use apps
[37:10] like that might help you understand your
[37:12] micronutrient profile a little bit
[37:13] better see what you're eating how much
[37:15] of it you're eating and then that
[37:17] hopefully that can push you a little bit
[37:18] further into getting all your
[37:19] Micronesian so it still is important how
[37:24] many days do I work out in a week I'm
[37:25] right now at 3 to 4 3 to 4 it could be
[37:28] more but I've been I've been a little
[37:31] bit sluggish getting back right now
[37:33] but overall feel pretty strong what
[37:36] would be the best for a day split for a
[37:37] guy that works at home with dumbbells up
[37:39] an upper body bro split or any other
[37:43] split so if it's only dumbbell base is
[37:45] really hard to say Bower you I'll just
[37:49] try to do some sort of split that you
[37:51] feel comfortable with right now but
[37:52] whatever you can do try to find your way
[37:54] into the gym that's just for like
[37:57] getting
[37:57] you know of course more equipment is
[37:58] always better and of course dumbbells
[38:00] nothing wrong with dumbbells but there
[38:01] is a limitation to it right just weight
[38:05] based unless you have really really
[38:06] heavy dumbbells even then you know
[38:08] there's certain movement patterns that
[38:10] might just be better with a barbell or
[38:12] even capables so that changes a little
[38:15] bit
[38:15] it's my stream lagging give me a second
[38:22] so it is it lagging it looks live but it
[38:27] seems to be freezing anyway to answer
[38:32] your question for what program you want
[38:34] to use for dumbbells the four-day
[38:36] program you can look into our discord we
[38:39] do break down frequency free programs
[38:41] based on frequency so maybe that can
[38:43] help you out a little bit but for the
[38:44] most part like it is gonna call for a
[38:47] lot of barbell movements sure's our
[38:48] variations to it but um I would be is a
[38:52] yes no no yes okay it is lagging for
[38:54] some people I'll be very very interested
[38:58] in trying to get you to more of a gym
[39:00] setting if possible of course not it's
[39:03] not always gonna be possible but try to
[39:05] your best if you can find some way to
[39:07] get into the gym but for now there are
[39:08] certain programs that you can have
[39:10] variations like for deadlifts you can do
[39:12] like dumbbell deadlifts you can do
[39:13] single leg dumbbell del loops which are
[39:15] decent variations for now but if you
[39:18] want to absolutely just knock out the
[39:20] biggest weight you can then eventually
[39:22] barbells is is probably where you want
[39:23] to go okay let me know let me know if I
[39:27] start lagging like very badly okay I
[39:29] know it's sometimes it does get laggy
[39:32] I'm not sure why I try to be on stable
[39:34] connections as long as I can but
[39:36] sometimes it doesn't work out that way
[39:37] what kind of gains and or progress
[39:39] progress can realistically be expected
[39:41] oops be expected from doing only
[39:44] pull-ups push-ups and squats so this is
[39:46] from Kranti
[39:46] well you'll get stronger lats you'll get
[39:49] maybe stronger biceps push-ups you get
[39:51] stronger chest you build some strong
[39:53] some strong triceps and squats you get a
[39:57] little bit of quad your your quad
[39:59] activation and maybe some hip work
[40:02] depending on how you squat but that's
[40:04] death that really I mean you can build
[40:06] it you can build endurance sure alright
[40:07] and yeah you can have some sort of
[40:09] hypertrophic effect
[40:10] there comes to a point like especially
[40:12] if you're knocking out like a hundred
[40:13] push-ups like easily per set then you're
[40:17] probably not gonna get a lot of strength
[40:19] or muscle gains while you still give us
[40:21] I don't wanna say you won't but it's
[40:22] just gonna take a lot more work for you
[40:24] to get the same of them out of a muscle
[40:25] growth especially with a 100 reps than
[40:28] you would with like a 8 to 12 rep range
[40:30] where you can like do less effort a
[40:32] little bit less work capacity not
[40:34] feeling and throw up every after every
[40:35] set and still get more the same if not
[40:38] more muscle gains well it's a little bit
[40:41] different just because the the pull-up
[40:43] technique is going to be a lot tougher
[40:45] than doing something like push-ups as
[40:47] far as like getting more reps so you
[40:49] can't build a good amount of lats
[40:51] strength that muscles lack growth and
[40:55] even try some advice approach just a
[40:57] little bit not as much the lats with
[40:59] just straight pull-ups but then again
[41:01] the limitation is trying to do to reach
[41:05] a point with fewer reps so if you feel
[41:07] like you want to work with a lower rep
[41:09] range you're gonna add you need to have
[41:10] some sort of resistance training but
[41:12] with pull-ups you have a lot more room
[41:16] to work with versus something like a
[41:17] push-up or even a bodyweight squat so
[41:19] bodyweight squats perhaps probably best
[41:22] catered with some sort of resistance
[41:24] training just because your legs are damn
[41:26] strong and bodyweight can only get you
[41:29] so far did ever cross your mind that you
[41:32] would be the owner of a million
[41:34] subscriber channel someday are you
[41:35] excited about it do you know what I mean
[41:37] not to toot my own horn but I always
[41:40] want I've always felt like you know if I
[41:41] keep putting the effort in and keep
[41:43] pushing and try to get my videos to be
[41:45] better quality and more enjoyable and
[41:47] better information
[41:48] I felt like for sure I'll reach that 1
[41:50] million subscriber point someday so yeah
[41:54] I mean I mean I'm totally like I don't
[41:57] take it for granted I could tell you
[41:58] that like I appreciate it a lot and and
[42:00] I'm more than thankful for being
[42:02] anywhere close to it but I really felt I
[42:05] told myself when I got into this like
[42:07] man I'm gonna push for this and try do
[42:09] as best as I can and I never had like a
[42:12] milestone goal like I wouldn't say I'm
[42:14] gonna go from a million subscribers no
[42:16] matter what I just told myself you know
[42:18] I'm gonna make this as successful as I
[42:19] can
[42:20] and hopefully it's gonna be one of the
[42:23] more successful channels fitness
[42:24] channels on YouTube and my standard
[42:26] standards I felt like hey got pretty
[42:28] close to that and if anything yeah
[42:30] that's great you don't where I am right
[42:32] now
[42:32] and considering that you know I don't
[42:34] show my face I don't rely on my body to
[42:36] get myself some views I'm happy with
[42:38] where I am so thank you for the question
[42:40] I really appreciate it let's keep going
[42:44] hey picture pic fit what's your thoughts
[42:46] on 5x5 training like strong lifts
[42:49] nothing against it I feel like it's very
[42:50] linear which is not necessarily a bad
[42:53] thing
[42:53] but I do feel like having different rep
[42:55] ranges might be a little bit better so
[42:57] let's just say if you have more of a
[42:59] strength based approach or you want to
[43:00] have more power approach then having
[43:02] lower rep ranges is a good thing
[43:05] so having three rep ranges to rep ranges
[43:07] even high-volume single rep training
[43:09] then of course if you want to just like
[43:11] have a really strong hypertrophy push
[43:13] hypertrophy block then I do recommend
[43:16] having a higher rep range of eight to
[43:18] twelve six to twelve because you will be
[43:20] able to build that volume fairly quickly
[43:22] and without necessarily having more and
[43:24] more sets so more set volume might
[43:26] actually increase your fatigue levels
[43:29] which will impact your subsequent
[43:31] training days and make you feel weaker
[43:33] you won't be able to perform as much and
[43:35] so on so it's gonna have like a more of
[43:38] a cascade effect over time where you
[43:40] just get more and more fatigue without
[43:42] necessarily getting stronger and without
[43:44] necessarily getting bigger
[43:45] well you most likely will get bigger as
[43:47] long as you give yourself some time to
[43:48] recover so 5x5 is a good starting point
[43:52] and and but then like you need I feel
[43:55] like branching out is not a bad thing
[43:57] you don't want to just be in the middle
[43:59] all the time because there are specific
[44:01] goals do you want to cater to more
[44:02] specifically specific goals cater
[44:05] specifically sounds weird so you will
[44:08] might want to work with different rep
[44:10] ranges and different frequencies by the
[44:12] way didn't really mention that is it
[44:15] gonna help or make my shoulder waist
[44:17] ratio worse if I have muffin top going
[44:20] on and start doing ab workouts you'll be
[44:22] fine
[44:22] you'll be fine the fact that you think
[44:24] working out will make your your hip to
[44:26] waist ratio worse you'll be fine
[44:30] get on in deficit you'll be fine what's
[44:35] my profession youtuber it's funny to say
[44:37] but my previous profession which I do
[44:39] try to I will tap into again back in
[44:42] some time in the future
[44:43] back to the future I was going to say
[44:45] that is to go back to training so
[44:47] actually training people training
[44:48] training clients and hopefully I'll have
[44:50] my own gym starting soon and I'll get
[44:53] that get started because like as much as
[44:56] I like doing YouTube and I just really
[44:59] enjoy working with a in a
[45:00] person-to-person basis you know like
[45:03] actually help someone specifically cater
[45:06] to their results it's awesome and as
[45:10] much as like I can help you guys like
[45:11] generally help you guys give you guys
[45:13] very you know general tips and and and
[45:15] so on
[45:17] being able to help someone specifically
[45:19] help them lose weight specifically see
[45:21] that weight lost together is like a
[45:24] different level of what's the word I'm
[45:28] looking for it just makes me happy
[45:31] crews should I lift heavy heavy I lift a
[45:34] good amount of which challenges meet
[45:36] with good form at the gym but I feel
[45:39] like people who are thinking a week why
[45:41] who cares about what people think but I
[45:44] also don't want to risk bad form with
[45:45] lifting hitting so you're fine so if you
[45:49] feel pretty good feel like giving good
[45:51] amount of effort let's just say you know
[45:52] like on a rpe which is ready to perceive
[45:56] a rated
[45:57] perceive exertion let's just say that
[46:00] this is pretty much a one to ten like
[46:02] 110 how tough to the set was as long as
[46:04] you feel like your sets are lying around
[46:05] eight or nine you're fine like just keep
[46:07] pushing try to progress as much as you
[46:09] can so you don't if you're not following
[46:11] a very linear go program right now then
[46:15] what you want to do is try to cater to
[46:17] that RPE as much as you can so let's
[46:20] just say you're benching I don't know
[46:22] how much you're benching let's just say
[46:23] a hundred kilos and and you do five reps
[46:26] and that's like an RP of eight or nine
[46:28] great so next time try to do like 102.5
[46:31] 105 kilos maybe 105 is too much and then
[46:35] try to hit another RPE of 8 or 9 maybe
[46:37] it'll be four reps this time that's okay
[46:39] so next time you tried it again and you
[46:41] hit five reps and then now it's an RPA
[46:43] not great so keep try progressed that
[46:45] way but of course I I always recommend
[46:47] try and get on a program so you don't
[46:49] get too caught up of trying to question
[46:51] everything because you might not just
[46:53] understand it enough that's fine so get
[46:55] on a program it's gonna help you walk
[46:57] through that but yeah don't worry about
[46:59] trying to lift heavier for other people
[47:01] don't trip about that you're good you're
[47:04] fine hey pick fit I'm 11 years old
[47:08] sorry ideal I can't help you you're a
[47:10] little bit too young for the threshold I
[47:12] appreciate you stopping by though but
[47:14] sorry I can't read further can I help
[47:16] you if you're too young come back in two
[47:19] years come to our discord in tears
[47:21] that's we're more than happy to help you
[47:23] but this quartz age restriction is also
[47:27] 13 years old so please come back but
[47:30] right now you know do your thing come
[47:33] back two years how to get over muscle
[47:35] pain at my ribs go to the doctor I'm not
[47:38] sure exactly how else I can tell you
[47:40] that like if it's a special around the
[47:41] ribs like what if you have a broken rib
[47:42] and you don't know that I don't want
[47:44] scare you but I can't tell you I can't
[47:46] tell you exactly exactly what your pain
[47:48] is it might be just some sort of oblique
[47:50] strain I can't say for sure or just
[47:52] muscle soreness I can't say for sure so
[47:54] I love to help you on that matter but
[47:56] just to play it safe and you feel like
[47:58] it was a really bothersome and it's
[48:00] something you don't wanna mess with go
[48:02] talk to the doctor man talk to the doc
[48:06] hi picked fit what's the best workout
[48:08] plan one bro split upper lower push pull
[48:10] legs whole body workout y'all can work
[48:13] man I mean if I had to say one dad's not
[48:16] as effective it would be the bro split
[48:17] just because the frequency is just a
[48:19] little bit lower than your upper lower
[48:20] and your PPOs and all that stuff so I
[48:24] would say whatever you're doing try to
[48:27] get to the three times per week per
[48:29] muscle group usually two is enough and
[48:31] you should be fine as long as there are
[48:34] some sort of progression built into your
[48:35] program so your rul split stir your ppl
[48:38] splits and your whole body's workouts
[48:41] they should have they should hit that
[48:43] frequency amount for the two three times
[48:45] a week so you're fine but progression
[48:47] will be based on how that program breaks
[48:49] it down for you so usually it would be
[48:50] based on just just hitting certain range
[48:54] thresholds and then you increase the
[48:55] weights some will be based
[48:58] on our Pease somewhat based on our IRS
[49:00] so look into that look into that how old
[49:06] am i I'm 31
[49:08] I'm Kim a little bit owed huh I started
[49:10] when I was 27 no 27 26 no I think I was
[49:15] 27 yeah I started when I was 27 so I was
[49:18] training training a little bit before
[49:20] that and then here comes YouTube I
[49:23] picked it I'm 24 year old male been
[49:26] training for one year but I don't see
[49:28] gains what to do if you've been trained
[49:30] for one year you really have to look at
[49:31] your program you really have to look at
[49:33] your nutrition cuz I mean let's just
[49:35] assume that you are training you've been
[49:37] training every single like you've been
[49:39] doing whatever your frequency Mel let's
[49:41] just say three to four times a day a
[49:42] week sorry three to four times a week
[49:44] and you've been going to the gym you're
[49:46] not seeing any gains you really need to
[49:48] look into your program after a whole
[49:50] year I mean either you're not trying to
[49:52] progress yourself you're not doing this
[49:53] right workouts you're not doing
[49:55] correctly if there's a lot of questions
[49:56] about how and can't be wrong but for a
[49:58] whole year
[49:59] you really gotta start tamping down on
[50:01] exactly what you're doing wrong because
[50:02] you don't want to spend more time doing
[50:04] the wrong things and never seen
[50:05] progression so in that case come check
[50:09] out our picture fit community discord

[51:32] that out
[51:32] okay back to the questions back to the
[51:36] questions why is my voice so calming I
[51:39] don't know
[51:40] my girlfriend never tells me that she
[51:42] says I whined too much nor did I say
[51:44] that I'm not sure but thank you hey pick
[51:47] fit how would you say to be how would
[51:50] you say to best gain mass on chess as it
[51:54] feels as I feel it laggs sorry I read
[51:57] that kind of weird it wasn't your fault
[51:59] it was mine
[52:01] so look at to your your program
[52:05] hopefully you are following one and
[52:06] let's see what exactly what you're doing
[52:07] for your chest workout so usually when
[52:10] it comes down to breaking down chest
[52:11] workouts there will be two for each time
[52:15] you train your chest so let's just say
[52:17] benchpress this one and you do your
[52:19] benchpress this hopefully you're hitting
[52:20] a good hypertrophy amount let's just say
[52:23] I don't know eight to twelve reps for
[52:24] three sets four sets then you want to do
[52:27] a secondary maybe an accessory or maybe
[52:29] want to do like another compound by
[52:31] usually I would recommend just doing an
[52:32] accessory so that can be like a chest
[52:35] flyes with with cables chest flies with
[52:37] dumbbells it could be a chest flies like
[52:39] with a PEC deck and and hopefully that
[52:41] will be enough for you but what you want
[52:43] to do is do that at least two times a
[52:44] week so let's just say you do eight sets
[52:46] per day for your chest that should be
[52:48] sufficient eight to ten sets and I think
[52:51] that's a good place to start and then do
[52:52] that twice a week so eight to ten sets
[52:54] let's just say taste chest day today on
[52:56] Friday and then maybe on Sunday you want
[52:59] to do another eight to ten sets so get
[53:01] that get that up first so get that
[53:03] amount first get your frequency up and
[53:05] get your volume up and then make sure
[53:07] you're having some sort of progression
[53:08] for it so either you increase your rep
[53:10] ranges or you increase your weights you
[53:12] can increase your sets a lot of people
[53:13] like increasing sets don't necessarily
[53:16] have to increase frequency but you can
[53:18] too but it's going to take a lot more
[53:19] work or you can split your your sets a
[53:22] little bit more throughout like three
[53:23] three work
[53:24] days versus two but whatever you want to
[53:26] do is to create have some sort of
[53:28] progression at least target two times
[53:30] per week for your all your muscle groups
[53:32] but specifically for HSN this question
[53:35] and see where you get from there of
[53:37] course your nutrition should be good
[53:38] should be good to go to it as well so
[53:40] that could be a 1.6 grams per kilogram
[53:43] body weight of protein and then of
[53:45] course you want to make sure you're
[53:46] trying to maintain or at least be in a
[53:48] surplus for your your muscle gaining
[53:50] goals hope that makes sense
[53:52] hope that makes sense so I train with
[53:55] heavier weights during a calorie deficit
[53:56] you sure can and a lot of times I would
[53:59] recommend it so yes you can of course
[54:01] your progression would not be as
[54:04] significant or if any at all any
[54:06] progression at all versus doing it
[54:08] during a maintenance or a surplus but
[54:11] yes it's completely fine to train heavy
[54:13] during a deficit might just not feel
[54:16] like you can push as hard but that's
[54:17] okay
[54:17] did I gots to protect I think I got I
[54:20] didn't skip anybody super chat did I I
[54:22] might have let me look into it okay I
[54:24] did so sorry I for breach Co sorry for
[54:27] skipping your sound I'm looking at it
[54:29] now if I want to lean bulk when i'm
[54:31] skinny-fat do i need to do a protein
[54:34] based diet with calories near
[54:36] maintenance calorie count or what do you
[54:38] recommend okay so yes of course every
[54:41] goal I will always recommend trying to
[54:43] hit your protein first I wouldn't say
[54:45] it's protein based more so you want to
[54:47] hit your proteins first so you know you
[54:49] understand how to allocate the rest of
[54:51] your calories so skinny fat I will
[54:54] recommend maybe 2 grams per kilogram of
[54:56] body weight but this is my
[54:56] recommendation you don't necessarily
[54:57] have to do it you can stick with lower
[54:59] thresholds like one point six one before
[55:01] one point five but like normally I would
[55:04] say to assuming that you're healthy you
[55:06] don't have any kidney problems so make
[55:07] sure you check that box first and then
[55:11] then you can stick with maintenance
[55:13] Mason is completely fine especially
[55:15] we're trying to go from a skinny fat you
[55:18] might want to have a little bit of
[55:19] surplus on your training day so maybe
[55:21] the 100-200 calorie surplus maybe that
[55:23] that could just be like a next extra
[55:25] protein shake right and then hopefully
[55:28] that will help you increase your muscle
[55:30] mass a little bit because you're getting
[55:32] more protein and you should be good to
[55:34] go so the last thing or next thing you
[55:36] want to worry about is
[55:38] if your training program is sufficient
[55:40] hopefully it is and that that's a good
[55:42] place to be that's about it a Jason
[55:45] Brown 12 thank you for the $5 chat super
[55:48] chat fell off the wagon and haven't
[55:50] worked out in a month and don't want to
[55:51] lose my progress but it's cold outside
[55:53] yes it is
[55:54] how do I get back on the wagon so for if
[55:59] you can go and deal with the coat of
[56:01] course that's easier said than done it's
[56:02] code here - I'd live in California so my
[56:04] code is probably warm for everyone else
[56:06] but I understand that code can suck but
[56:08] you if you can and try to find your way
[56:11] to the gym and it's gonna be tough it's
[56:14] gonna be tough especially when you get
[56:16] sore and it's code is not the best
[56:17] feeling but what I can tell you is that
[56:19] you try to push yourself through it it
[56:21] is again it will come down to how you
[56:24] probably hurt eyes or fitness and I
[56:26] understand everyone falls off that I
[56:28] fall off the wagon all the time
[56:29] especially after an injury but once you
[56:32] try - once you start building that that
[56:34] that mentality of prioritizing your
[56:37] workouts code is nothing but a thing and
[56:40] hopefully that will get you back to the
[56:42] gym that's pretty much the best advice I
[56:44] can give you sure you can do like
[56:45] bodyweight exercises at home but how can
[56:48] how far that can that get you if you're
[56:49] if you're a completely beginning a
[56:51] complete beginner that might be actually
[56:52] sufficient just working out at home do a
[56:54] bodyweight workout but if you're like a
[56:56] little bit more intermediate you have
[56:58] like some good amount of gains from your
[57:01] previous gym sessions then try to get
[57:04] yourself to the gym all right let's keep
[57:09] going
[57:09] it's 9:30 already so I'm freeze the time
[57:14] actually don't it's gonna stay code if
[57:17] you freeze the time okay um let's keep
[57:20] going
[57:21] high picture fit it is from Priya Priya
[57:24] Priya Priya CHH I can't seem to gain
[57:27] anymore muscle gains after three years
[57:30] of training the initial newbie gains
[57:32] were great though anyways great channel
[57:35] by Hawaii helped me a lot thank you for
[57:36] everything I'm not sure you had a
[57:37] question there but if you're having
[57:39] struck you were struggling to have any
[57:40] muscle gains especially after three
[57:42] years of training congrats for doing
[57:43] three years first and foremost then you
[57:45] had to change your program approach so
[57:47] you might want to start doing blocks you
[57:49] might want to undulate which is
[57:51] seems to be effective for certain people
[57:53] that already have a certain amount of
[57:54] strength and and gains so what I'd like
[57:58] to do is to have like a very either to
[58:01] to point block where you focus on two
[58:04] things at once or just at one point
[58:06] block where you just do like hypertrophy
[58:07] strength base power base endurance base
[58:10] whatever it is and then the next block
[58:13] I'll do like a something opposite or
[58:15] something different so what I like to do
[58:17] especially with people that run into
[58:18] like strength issues where they can't
[58:20] getting stronger I'll put them on a
[58:22] hypertrophy block so try to build some
[58:24] muscle first right start putting more
[58:25] muscle mass on the frame and then come
[58:27] back to a a strength block with the add
[58:29] muscle hopefully that also means they
[58:31] have more motor units to recruit and and
[58:34] then thus they'll push a little bit
[58:36] heavier that's the goal anyways doesn't
[58:39] always work out that way but that's the
[58:41] intent so that might be something you
[58:43] want to look looking to as well where
[58:44] you start breaking down more specific
[58:46] goals and then cater to that specific
[58:49] goal and then when you reach a certain
[58:50] amount that you wanted to or you reach a
[58:52] time period then you can choose
[58:54] transition to more of a strength based
[58:56] goal people do undulate as well or they
[58:59] do actually both so they'll do like a
[59:00] hypertrophy focused week and then
[59:04] they'll do like a strength or power of
[59:06] focus week and they kind of like go back
[59:08] and forth with that and that seems to be
[59:10] pretty effective for some people as well
[59:12] so look into those look into like a pyro
[59:17] hypertrophy training you can look at a
[59:19] you still look at PPL splits that might
[59:20] have different blocks more like
[59:23] hypertrophy block and so on and yeah try
[59:27] to cater to this it's cardio after
[59:30] weight lifting session bad it's not that
[59:33] bad I mean I wouldn't personally do it
[59:35] just because I can't I wouldn't feel up
[59:38] for it but if you had to do cardio and
[59:40] weight lifting on the same day then I
[59:43] would suggest you do it after your
[59:44] weight lifting the cardio part and you
[59:47] should be fine I mean it's there's some
[59:49] level of like concerns of interference
[59:53] effects sure like might be might exist
[59:57] but it's not that all that impactful so
[1:00:00] I do have a video I think two videos on
[1:00:02] this where I ask if you wanna do should
[1:00:04] you do
[1:00:06] weightlifting or cardio first and my
[1:00:09] ultimate answer is to do your cardio
[1:00:11] last and then I have another video where
[1:00:13] it's asking do cardio kill your gains
[1:00:15] for the most part it really doesn't but
[1:00:17] I can hurt a little bit of it and if you
[1:00:19] can try to train try to do your weight
[1:00:21] lifting on one day and then the next day
[1:00:23] do your cardio rather than like do it
[1:00:25] together
[1:00:26] or if you can do your weight lifting
[1:00:29] early and then do your cardio like maybe
[1:00:31] 6 to 12 hours after so like like we
[1:00:34] lived in the morning any cardio night I
[1:00:38] hope that makes sense hey pick puck fits
[1:00:42] what is that would you say six
[1:00:45] weightlifting sessions in three
[1:00:47] 90-minute swimming sessions a week is
[1:00:48] too much depends on we're doing it
[1:00:50] during those six weightlifting sessions
[1:00:52] if is a decent split where you have like
[1:00:53] oh like moderate volume for your muscles
[1:00:56] - you're fine I mean sure the cardio is
[1:00:59] you know from the swimming you know I
[1:01:01] personally can't do it but there's
[1:01:03] nothing wrong with it you're fine
[1:01:05] just make sure that whatever you're
[1:01:06] doing with during your six weightlifting
[1:01:07] sessions it's like you use you split
[1:01:10] your volume pretty decently like you
[1:01:11] don't want to do high volume every
[1:01:13] single session right you want to have a
[1:01:15] good amount good amount of split or you
[1:01:17] know either moderate or maybe a little
[1:01:19] bit intense but not to the point where
[1:01:21] the recovery is like definitely shot
[1:01:23] after every workout using creatine and
[1:01:28] not achieve daily protein then what what
[1:01:31] is cause you gotta ask a question again
[1:01:34] I'm not sure what you're asking a high
[1:01:36] pitched fit what should I do for my hair
[1:01:38] fall I'm also using creatine well you
[1:01:41] might not want to use creatine since
[1:01:44] creatine does have a connection to
[1:01:45] something known as dihydrogen
[1:01:46] testosterone DHT which on the surface
[1:01:49] level can can accelerate hair loss so
[1:01:53] pay attention to that but what I can
[1:01:58] tell you is that some people are just
[1:02:00] susceptible to hair loss and that's just
[1:02:02] that's just the way it goes sometimes
[1:02:03] I'm sorry to tell you hopefully I don't
[1:02:07] lose my hair I feel my hair is decent
[1:02:09] right now hopefully I know is it oh yeah
[1:02:11] is it a lot of this is a very heavy
[1:02:13] genetic component to it I mean if if
[1:02:15] like the the greatest athlete the most
[1:02:17] highly paid
[1:02:18] athlete LeBron James loses his hair and
[1:02:22] can't really remedy it until this year
[1:02:23] felt funny enough then you know what to
[1:02:27] say us common people can have better
[1:02:30] resources to deal with it but he had a
[1:02:34] hair transplant so it's really Janelle
[1:02:35] he picked it best way to bring up
[1:02:38] lagging side at delts never feel a pump
[1:02:40] so does I understand doubts can be a
[1:02:43] little bit tougher to feel with that
[1:02:44] pump feeling especially compared to like
[1:02:45] your biceps triceps chest whatever so
[1:02:49] understandable what I can tell you just
[1:02:51] try to maybe work with a higher rep
[1:02:53] range maybe a 15 rep range if you really
[1:02:55] want to build that metabolite in your
[1:02:57] delts and make sure you're doing your
[1:02:58] side raises correctly so a lot of times
[1:03:01] when people do side raises they would
[1:03:02] engage a lot of anterior delt storefront
[1:03:05] doubts and their lateral delts won't
[1:03:07] feel much of that activation same for
[1:03:09] your overhead presses your dumbbell
[1:03:11] presses
[1:03:11] it's very anterior delt heavy and you
[1:03:14] won't have that full activation
[1:03:16] stimulation of your side delts thus that
[1:03:19] pump might not necessarily feel be there
[1:03:21] so look into your form maybe work with a
[1:03:25] little bit more of a high rep range and
[1:03:27] also try to employ some mind muscle
[1:03:30] connection
[1:03:33] hey picture it I finished my cut so I'm
[1:03:35] trying to figure out my maintenance by
[1:03:37] doing a weekly average so far I lost
[1:03:40] another pound after the week I last cut
[1:03:43] it cut it
[1:03:44] last cut I think you just say cut how
[1:03:46] much should I increase my calories so if
[1:03:48] you're still losing weight and you look
[1:03:50] how much - how much did you lose during
[1:03:52] your maintenance trial you lost another
[1:03:55] pound so you might might increase your
[1:03:56] calorie intake to 300 to 500 per day and
[1:03:59] see we can maintain from there
[1:04:04] okay let's keep going it's three days
[1:04:07] three days of eggs three eggs a day
[1:04:09] healthy because I've seen some studies
[1:04:11] showing that eggs increase cholesterol
[1:04:12] though I made a really old video on this
[1:04:14] where where I really got to revisit this
[1:04:17] and I might actually be better off
[1:04:18] asking other people to answer this for
[1:04:20] me in the future so I'm gonna look into
[1:04:22] like more more a better more expert
[1:04:25] based answer to do this but what for my
[1:04:28] previous understanding is that the
[1:04:29] cholesterol gained from from anything
[1:04:32] you eat is often balanced by how much
[1:04:35] cholesterol your body itself produces so
[1:04:37] be more your body produces less you eat
[1:04:39] less your product body produces more now
[1:04:41] this is assuming that you don't have a
[1:04:44] cholesterol issue in the first place
[1:04:45] right so you do have the cholesterol
[1:04:46] issue then this type of balancing
[1:04:49] regulation might not be as as effective
[1:04:51] or even pertinent so but again I'm just
[1:04:55] gonna leave it there because I don't
[1:04:56] wanna give you a bad answer and you'd be
[1:04:58] a little bit lost for on that but if I
[1:05:01] can I'll try to make another video kind
[1:05:03] of revisiting this whole cholesterol
[1:05:04] thing I'll let you know though but for
[1:05:06] now I'm just gonna leave it there if you
[1:05:08] are worried about your cholesterol
[1:05:10] ask your doctor get your color strong
[1:05:12] measurements and see where you stand but
[1:05:14] for now that's my understanding as far
[1:05:17] as like the cholesterol regulation i'll
[1:05:19] see if i can do more hey pics it
[1:05:21] whatever body muscles do you think do
[1:05:23] you think need to be trained the most to
[1:05:26] be a better distance runner and what
[1:05:28] resistance training should we aim for
[1:05:30] higher or lower reps so what what any
[1:05:33] sport you do it's very movement specific
[1:05:36] so that's why you ice here people will
[1:05:37] say train for your sport or or that the
[1:05:41] sad principal specific adaptations of
[1:05:44] imposed demands so if you want to do you
[1:05:48] won't be a better distance runner when
[1:05:50] it comes to lifting you might want to do
[1:05:52] like high rep ranges of squats high rep
[1:05:54] ranges of lunges and so on but not
[1:05:57] necessarily heavy lifting or hypertrophy
[1:05:59] based lifting because maybe the muscle
[1:06:01] mass might be an issue for you to
[1:06:03] actually travel further and and so you
[1:06:06] have to cater more specifically to those
[1:06:09] type of adaptations so when it comes to
[1:06:12] distance running I really don't know
[1:06:14] exactly what's better than just doing
[1:06:16] more distance
[1:06:18] I never train distance runners so I
[1:06:21] can't tell you for sure but I'm pretty
[1:06:22] sure a lot of it is just based on
[1:06:24] understanding how your body responds to
[1:06:26] certain energy systems like if you you
[1:06:29] want to kind of like maximize your
[1:06:31] energy systems and make sure you get
[1:06:33] your fluids especially with like very
[1:06:34] long distance running and see how your
[1:06:37] body responds like the wall glycogen
[1:06:38] repletion glycogen depletion but for the
[1:06:42] most part when it comes to like weight
[1:06:44] training may be the best adaptation that
[1:06:48] might transfer over to your endurance
[1:06:50] running would be high rep range training
[1:06:52] for your legs butter than that I can't
[1:06:54] say for sure hey pick fit what exercises
[1:06:58] do you recommend for stronger hamstrings
[1:07:00] gluten ham races Nordic curls look those
[1:07:02] up that's a good place to start that's
[1:07:05] good what's with all these emojis man
[1:07:08] Moroccan rap if I answer your question
[1:07:13] okay what is better for gaining weight
[1:07:15] carbs or protein I would say carbs is
[1:07:18] easier but I would suggest you get more
[1:07:20] protein and I'll like for you to chill
[1:07:24] with your emojis thank you hey pick fit
[1:07:27] is about to eat oxidize protein I have
[1:07:29] woke reposting the smells tastes smell
[1:07:32] stale getting get better protein shakes
[1:07:34] that get any one as I can say it is bad
[1:07:39] for you don't take it if it smells bad
[1:07:40] just like your food right you have a
[1:07:42] chicken and the smells bad are you gonna
[1:07:44] eat it are you Jeff Nippert using a
[1:07:48] voice changer you never see me and Jeff
[1:07:50] nipper in the same room have you
[1:07:53] well you never see me periods but you
[1:07:56] get the gist yeah and he deal with that
[1:08:00] guy I'm not sure what he's asking please
[1:08:03] answer it hey pick fit full body or
[1:08:05] upper lower split please help me full
[1:08:08] body or upper low split if you can ask
[1:08:10] me I like doing splits better but you
[1:08:12] can do full body okay if you're gonna do
[1:08:13] full body let's let's just say you do
[1:08:15] three to four times a day a week I like
[1:08:17] a day I don't know why then with full
[1:08:20] body then you might have to be a little
[1:08:23] bit careful with how you split the
[1:08:26] intensity of each muscle group so let's
[1:08:29] just say for a full body you
[1:08:31] want to do the same amount same volume
[1:08:33] for every muscle group every single time
[1:08:35] so let's just say first day full body
[1:08:37] I'll do a favor
[1:08:40] or I'll prioritize bench presses or a
[1:08:42] pushes in general so I'll do very high
[1:08:44] volume bench presses um
[1:08:47] I'll do like some Peck text to to
[1:08:49] increase the volume but then day two of
[1:08:51] my my full body training I prioritize
[1:08:55] doing like more squats or more pulls and
[1:08:57] then maybe like a light work light
[1:08:59] volume low volume bench press and then a
[1:09:02] light or low volume bench chest fly
[1:09:05] that's it so but then that takes a
[1:09:09] little bit more work you have to really
[1:09:10] pay attention to how you're breaking
[1:09:11] down every single full-body workout
[1:09:13] because you don't want to do high-volume
[1:09:15] for everything to the point where
[1:09:16] fatigue is gonna kick your butt
[1:09:19] that's why splits a little bit more
[1:09:20] popular because you're able to split it
[1:09:23] and you don't have to have this such a
[1:09:24] strong nuance on every specific workout
[1:09:26] for every full body training you're
[1:09:28] doing because you can be a lot more
[1:09:30] consistent or linear with how you
[1:09:34] approach your your every every muscle or
[1:09:37] if you workout you do versus full-body
[1:09:40] where you have to pay attention to how
[1:09:41] you split it YouTube is not receiving
[1:09:46] enough video to maintain Smooth
[1:09:48] Streaming are you guys having trouble
[1:09:49] hearing me
[1:09:51] YouTube's being a blood hit I hope you
[1:09:54] guys hear me fine what what is the
[1:09:56] longest you have ever fasted and what is
[1:09:59] your opinion on extended fasting greater
[1:10:01] in two days
[1:10:02] I never fasted more than more than a day
[1:10:03] so I did I did my 16-8 I enjoyed it
[1:10:07] actually
[1:10:07] so just to just let everyone know that
[1:10:10] even though I might not have the the
[1:10:12] most friendly intermittent fasting video
[1:10:14] out there I actually enjoy 1680 fasting
[1:10:17] and what I do understand though is that
[1:10:19] it's not gonna do anything magical for
[1:10:20] me so we know I do 1680 fasting I'm not
[1:10:23] gonna tell people like oh man it
[1:10:25] preserves my muscles so much better than
[1:10:27] then three times a day eating
[1:10:30] I like 16-gig fasting because it allows
[1:10:32] me to eat less especially when trying to
[1:10:34] lose weight without feeling too hungry
[1:10:37] that's it
[1:10:39] hey guys it's 9:45 um apologies but it's

[1:12:22] people that this super chat I really
[1:12:23] appreciate it
[1:12:26] hey pick fit did you know that according
[1:12:29] to some research 27 27 percent of
[1:12:31] variation in BMR is unexplained by sex
[1:12:34] age height where to go a question just
[1:12:36] disappeared on me I was reading it
[1:12:38] oh no it is there okay sorry lean body
[1:12:41] mass what are your thoughts of course
[1:12:43] those variations right unexplained I
[1:12:45] don't know maybe I can't if I if science
[1:12:48] can't explain it I can't possibly
[1:12:49] explain it explain it
[1:12:50] BMR is a little bit tricky maybe just a
[1:12:53] measurement BMR even through like
[1:12:54] metabolic chambers might not excuse me
[1:12:57] it might not be as precise as we want it
[1:12:59] to be so we can't fully explain it like
[1:13:01] shirt there might be variations and and
[1:13:04] it might be nutrition base it might be
[1:13:07] mental base I can't say for sure who
[1:13:10] knows I don't really have no no comment
[1:13:12] or opinion on it I was like more like
[1:13:14] all of us that's very interesting what
[1:13:19] do you think about vegan lifting the
[1:13:20] GameChanger scared me don't be scared
[1:13:21] you'll be fine
[1:13:23] you're eating animal products that's
[1:13:24] okay you're gonna be fine vegan lifting
[1:13:27] if you enjoy it that's cool too is it
[1:13:30] necessary to drink a pre-workout before
[1:13:32] every workout I'm a beginner in 15 I do
[1:13:35] drink a post-workout after recovery
[1:13:36] workout thanks okay pay attention to
[1:13:39] your size your mass how big you are cuz
[1:13:41] caffeine is his base can't be based on
[1:13:44] on on mass can't affect you differently
[1:13:47] so you might want to take it based on
[1:13:49] take your amount taking it should be
[1:13:51] based on your mass but um just that you
[1:13:53] know if you are 15 I took typically
[1:13:55] don't recommend any supplements because
[1:13:56] it's not place my place is to say so but
[1:14:00] you can take a pre-workout like you know
[1:14:03] a these are generally speaking yeah you
[1:14:05] can and he'll be fine it's not necessary
[1:14:07] of course is not necessary you can still
[1:14:10] perform
[1:14:10] I still see gains without the
[1:14:11] pre-workout pre-workout especially a
[1:14:13] caffeine base stimulant or pre workout
[1:14:15] what just might help you with a few more
[1:14:17] reps that's all how to mix marathon
[1:14:22] training and weightlifting prioritize 1
[1:14:24] first and foremost so if you prioritize
[1:14:26] marathon training then you do a lot more
[1:14:29] marathon training do your runs and all
[1:14:31] that stuff and then weightlifting you
[1:14:33] more might be a secondary thing that you
[1:14:35] want to do maybe you'll have an
[1:14:35] aesthetical that you want to meet then
[1:14:37] you do like a little bit of
[1:14:38] weightlifting on the side but
[1:14:39] just because of how polar opposites they
[1:14:42] are because you are gondola type one
[1:14:43] fiber works with your marathon training
[1:14:46] your legs might not be as adapted to to
[1:14:48] to adapt to both at the same time so pay
[1:14:52] attention to that I would just choose a
[1:14:54] prioritized one first and foremost and
[1:14:56] then use the other one as a secondary
[1:14:59] until maybe you're done with all your
[1:15:00] marathon training let's just say you're
[1:15:02] like offseason and you want to get more
[1:15:04] aesthetic based goals then you switch
[1:15:07] your priority for your priorities you
[1:15:12] don't need a post workout just let you
[1:15:13] know maybe you want to take a little bit
[1:15:15] of protein after but you don't
[1:15:16] necessarily need a post workout not
[1:15:18] nothing like thirty one hour after you
[1:15:20] don't necessarily got to you don't need
[1:15:22] a pre-workout either it's just a little
[1:15:24] bit of boost like literally it's just a
[1:15:28] little bit bitter some may help you with
[1:15:31] with with again a few reps but nothing
[1:15:34] spectacular we're like oh man my life
[1:15:36] changed because I'm taking pre-workout
[1:15:38] and my field might feel nice though hey
[1:15:42] pics it I have a problem when I do my
[1:15:44] like days when I'm squatting for example
[1:15:46] I feel I'm doing more cardio than legs I
[1:15:49] can't really feel my legs getting as
[1:15:51] tired as my heart is well your leg
[1:15:54] muscles are pretty darn huge so it's
[1:15:56] gonna take a lot of blood flow to it
[1:15:58] which might put your heart alone and a
[1:16:00] little bit extra work so I understand
[1:16:02] that everybody feels a little bit gassed
[1:16:03] with their squats so don't worry it's
[1:16:06] not just you okay maybe not everybody
[1:16:09] people that are really good endurance
[1:16:10] probably not um but so don't don't trip
[1:16:12] out too much if you feel that way what I
[1:16:15] can tell you is that you're not feeling
[1:16:17] it then you just try to do a little bit
[1:16:18] higher intensity so maybe you wanna
[1:16:20] shoot for like a 5 to 8 rep range rather
[1:16:22] than maybe you're doing like 10 15 that
[1:16:25] might be too much so try to progress it
[1:16:27] a little bit for our strength base
[1:16:31] hi Jeff I mean picture fit I can only
[1:16:34] train three in a row per week goal is
[1:16:37] hypertrophy full-body or split ppl so
[1:16:40] you're doing three times personally I
[1:16:41] would say you can do a full body just
[1:16:44] because it will help you with hitting
[1:16:45] that frequency that I've been talking
[1:16:47] about two three times a week there are
[1:16:50] some ppl splits that are three times a
[1:16:53] week as well so you might want to look
[1:16:54] into those but personally I'd like the
[1:16:56] idea of doing total body if you only
[1:16:58] have like if you only have three days a
[1:17:01] week all right guys I'm gonna start
[1:17:03] wrapping it up but I would let's let's
[1:17:05] answer maybe five more questions and
[1:17:07] then I will start closing it out again
[1:17:10] Black Friday sale going on right now
[1:17:11] pick fish shop calm thirty percent off
[1:17:13] all t-shirts let's do five more
[1:17:15] questions hey pics it is it bad to do a
[1:17:19] workout consisting of 100 pushups 115
[1:17:22] mountain climbers little well man I
[1:17:24] almost threw up hearing that sorry and
[1:17:27] 150 planks side planks side to side
[1:17:30] every day and do ab workouts chest
[1:17:33] workout every day okay the only issue I
[1:17:35] have well actually have multiple issues
[1:17:37] but main issue I have with this is the
[1:17:40] progression is just you know as great as
[1:17:42] hundred push-ups are 150 month climbers
[1:17:44] are it's gonna keep you at a point a
[1:17:46] certain fitness level sure no problem
[1:17:48] it is definitely keep you out of certain
[1:17:49] fitness level but if you have like very
[1:17:51] very specific goals like you want build
[1:17:53] muscle you want to get stronger like
[1:17:54] actually build much stronger like higher
[1:17:57] than body weight lifts then you're gonna
[1:17:59] have to work with weights no matter what
[1:18:01] right for the most part maybe could get
[1:18:04] away with other cal-state movements but
[1:18:05] for the most part if you want get
[1:18:07] stronger weights yet to do weights but
[1:18:09] there's nothing necessarily well wrong
[1:18:11] like that's better than doing nothing
[1:18:13] I mean hundred push-ups is pretty damn
[1:18:14] tough for a lot of people hundr 50
[1:18:16] mountain climbers is just torture for a
[1:18:18] lot of people myself included the side
[1:18:21] plank side two sites I don't think
[1:18:24] that's very effective 150 might get you
[1:18:25] exhaust it but itself is not very I feel
[1:18:28] like efficient workout so you might be
[1:18:30] better off just doing like some weight
[1:18:31] of planks or some weighted side planks
[1:18:34] or even just do more actual
[1:18:37] flexion for your abs or your obliques
[1:18:41] too so lateral flexions
[1:18:43] and rotational but that itself is okay
[1:18:47] it's just as no there's gonna be some
[1:18:49] limitations versus doing working at the
[1:18:51] gym and using some some weights workouts
[1:18:54] but nothing told you wrong with it but I
[1:18:57] really just it's based on what you think
[1:18:59] is okay I guess you can say opinion on
[1:19:03] diet breaks I'm really considering
[1:19:04] taking one because my BMR is falling
[1:19:06] fast so how long you've been in a
[1:19:08] deficit if you you're having a really
[1:19:10] bad like deficit like very strong Duff
[1:19:13] is it were that's what's explaining your
[1:19:15] your BMR or any of your your TDE going
[1:19:18] down then our first and foremost visit
[1:19:22] how revisit how you're approaching your
[1:19:25] deficit because like the only people
[1:19:28] that I know that should be suffering
[1:19:29] from very bad drops in BMR are people
[1:19:32] that actually do bodybuilding
[1:19:34] competitions right because they will try
[1:19:36] to reach those deficits very fairly
[1:19:38] quickly and very heavily while still
[1:19:39] training so those keys does understand
[1:19:43] you can try some sort of reverse dieting
[1:19:45] you can try some mini cuts you can try
[1:19:47] some diet breaks yes you can't but don't
[1:19:51] overdo it to the point where you just
[1:19:53] put on a che-cheung hon fat right so
[1:19:58] look at that way I do have a super chat
[1:20:01] kick in here thank you
[1:20:03] yes yes has ki J Heskey J I've got a job
[1:20:07] where I'm burning 3000 calories a day I
[1:20:08] work at a zoo that's cool I struggle a
[1:20:11] lot with eating and have failed over the
[1:20:13] last three years gaining weight advice
[1:20:15] if you're struggle with eating ads are
[1:20:17] really these are one of the questions
[1:20:19] where we had to break down what the
[1:20:21] struggles are like you know everyone has
[1:20:23] to say they have struggles but you know
[1:20:25] it all comes down to specific like
[1:20:28] what's causing that struggle is it some
[1:20:29] sort of habit that you're used to is it
[1:20:31] because some foods you just can't digest
[1:20:33] is it that you don't have maybe the
[1:20:36] financial means whatever it is we have
[1:20:38] to really look at it more specifically
[1:20:40] in this case since you did do a super
[1:20:42] chat which I do appreciate if you can
[1:20:44] please join the discord community and
[1:20:46] then you can tag me specifically hey hey
[1:20:49] I'm the guy that did the super chat and
[1:20:50] and I'll try to answer your question
[1:20:53] about your 3000 burning calories per day
[1:20:56] and
[1:20:56] your struggle with eating because we
[1:20:58] have to look at more specific approach
[1:21:00] look exactly what's wrong with what
[1:21:01] what's having what you're having issues
[1:21:03] with so on a general answer or again
[1:21:06] what I can say is like okay maybe you
[1:21:07] should try to supplement so that will
[1:21:09] come down to like a protein shake having
[1:21:10] a protein shake and then maybe throwing
[1:21:12] some extra things into it like fruits
[1:21:14] nuts other grains maybe oats and try to
[1:21:18] increase the calories into that that
[1:21:20] protein shake itself and hopefully
[1:21:21] that's it like a good amount of calories
[1:21:23] you can use for your big calorie work
[1:21:26] your big calorie burning days right so
[1:21:28] that's kind of a general approach but
[1:21:30] did you know again I do want to help you
[1:21:33] more specifically if possible so come
[1:21:36] join the discord community if we can all
[1:21:38] right let's answer a few more two more
[1:21:41] you guys don't three more I think I
[1:21:42] think three more flank is super chat
[1:21:44] doesn't recount
[1:21:45] hey pivot push-ups don't work on pecs
[1:21:48] and necessary burn is not felt instead
[1:21:50] arms get tired what should be done for
[1:21:52] activation of pictorials you can suggest
[1:21:54] some home workout for same if you all
[1:21:58] you have is a home workouts it's gonna
[1:22:00] be tough right first and foremost you
[1:22:01] can try a little bit of a wider stance
[1:22:03] with your arms with the the push-ups to
[1:22:05] see if you can engage your your pecs a
[1:22:06] little bit more try to use my muscle
[1:22:09] connection so you don't you don't know
[1:22:10] what that is
[1:22:11] I do have a video on it so search
[1:22:12] YouTube mind muscle connection and see
[1:22:15] if that can help you out but the idea is
[1:22:18] that you want to try to engage and
[1:22:19] concentrate on activating and
[1:22:21] contracting your pecs during your
[1:22:24] push-ups more so than your arms and that
[1:22:26] might help a little bit and hopefully
[1:22:28] that helps but just like anyone else
[1:22:30] that does like bench presses sometimes
[1:22:32] your your triceps your arms will get
[1:22:34] tired or exhausted faster than your
[1:22:36] chest and that's a very common issue so
[1:22:39] what I would then recommend is that you
[1:22:40] either strengthen your your triceps love
[1:22:42] this so you can push a little bit
[1:22:43] heavier weights because if you're your
[1:22:45] bottleneck your limiting factor is your
[1:22:47] triceps you want to get that stronger
[1:22:48] but also then if you want build your
[1:22:50] chest a little bit more than you have to
[1:22:52] have an assess secondary accessory
[1:22:54] workout like a PEC deck chest fly and so
[1:22:56] on but then again that that's going to
[1:22:58] be gym base and you only have home
[1:22:59] workouts now suggest you use either my
[1:23:01] muscle connection or yes my muscle
[1:23:03] connection and also maybe change up your
[1:23:05] your positioning on your push-ups to see
[1:23:07] we can engage your
[1:23:09] a little bit more two more guys Shivam I
[1:23:14] have been training for eight years I've
[1:23:17] been cutting for the past four months
[1:23:18] I'm really vascular but still can't see
[1:23:20] my lower abs unless I really pump up and
[1:23:23] stretch my skin a little I guess your
[1:23:25] question is like how do I fix that so
[1:23:27] what you can - I'm guessing is that used
[1:23:29] to have a little bit of pocket fat on
[1:23:30] your belly there and that's okay what
[1:23:33] you gotta do is keep cutting that's it
[1:23:37] one more guys one more of you guys don't
[1:23:41] mind hey pick fit or one of the best
[1:23:42] high-calorie foods that will help me
[1:23:44] gain weight skinny 16 11 year old
[1:23:47] usually okay so this you can check our
[1:23:50] disk or two because we do have a list of
[1:23:52] foods but usually gonna be like whole
[1:23:53] foods that are a little bit more simple
[1:23:56] so like fruits you get more fruit so you
[1:23:58] can have more grains a little bit more
[1:24:00] grains which is processed funny enough
[1:24:03] but then you know protein shakes are
[1:24:05] good too so that's what I would
[1:24:07] recommend and yeah so if you want a
[1:24:10] little bit more idea like exactly what
[1:24:11] works for you because it's gonna be like
[1:24:13] you know based on whatever preferences
[1:24:14] you have check out the discord community
[1:24:16] I'm gonna answer another question
[1:24:17] because I did I wanted to help you a
[1:24:19] little bit more on that but it feels
[1:24:20] like you know it's somewhat an answer
[1:24:23] because I do want to help you a little
[1:24:25] more chill join the discord community
[1:24:27] and I answer one more question and then
[1:24:29] that will be it high picture fit I have
[1:24:34] been training I thought that I thought
[1:24:36] I'd just answer that Savannah she's
[1:24:42] Siobhan sorry I'm seeing wrong your name
[1:24:44] wrong but I kind of answered your
[1:24:45] question rarity I hope you heard it I
[1:24:48] hope you heard it
[1:24:50] alright Abraham last question hey pick
[1:24:52] fit I'm currently in my bulk and I've
[1:24:54] gained lots of strength good muscle mass
[1:24:56] but some fat too when I do I know to
[1:25:00] start my cut when do i when i do do i
[1:25:02] mix cardio with weights along with
[1:25:04] deficit so when ii started cut will be
[1:25:07] based on your own preference so you feel
[1:25:10] like you're gaining a little bit fat by
[1:25:11] yards you are satisfied with the amount
[1:25:14] of strength you're gaining then you can
[1:25:15] actually start your deficit now of
[1:25:17] course you want to like kind of ease
[1:25:18] yourself into the whole process because
[1:25:20] if you've been on the surplus for a long
[1:25:22] time
[1:25:22] then it's a little bit different and you
[1:25:24] kind of like don't want to just engage
[1:25:26] in a straight deficit right off the bat
[1:25:27] because it's gonna be tough so maybe it
[1:25:30] might ease yourself into that but you
[1:25:31] can necessarily start now if you wanted
[1:25:32] to what I would recommend is we try to
[1:25:34] do more of a maintenance approach maybe
[1:25:36] a recom approach where you're eating
[1:25:38] closer to maintenance maintaining the
[1:25:39] same amount of workouts you're doing
[1:25:41] tried to progress as much as you can and
[1:25:42] if you'd want to you can try to add a
[1:25:44] cardio on your off days and that's
[1:25:46] pretty much where you want to be first
[1:25:47] and foremost see if that works for you
[1:25:49] first
[1:25:49] so stay near maintenance and then um get
[1:25:53] a little bit more protein if you can so
[1:25:55] that you'll be maintaining with a higher
[1:25:58] level protein which might help you
[1:25:59] preserve your mouth so if you do start
[1:26:00] losing weight and then hopefully the
[1:26:04] Attic cardio would put you in more of a
[1:26:06] deficit stage during your your off days
[1:26:09] and that's it start there first but
[1:26:11] again it would be dependent on what you
[1:26:13] consider as as like important for you
[1:26:16] when to cut like okay I'm getting way
[1:26:18] too much fat I need to cut now or you
[1:26:19] want to be a little bit more proactive
[1:26:21] like okay I'm getting a little bit of
[1:26:22] fat now and I'm really happy with where
[1:26:24] I am as far as strength and muscle gains
[1:26:26] let me try to maintain right now let me
[1:26:28] try go in a recom if possible and see
[1:26:31] where I can like what I can do with that
[1:26:33] and after like three months and you're
[1:26:34] happy and you're losing fat and you're
[1:26:36] maintaining your strength your muscles
[1:26:37] stayed about the same
[1:26:38] then Congrats you're exactly where you
[1:26:40] want to be but if you want to go a
[1:26:42] little bit more muscle and the fat
[1:26:43] doesn't bother you that much maybe you
[1:26:45] want to keep your book right now but
[1:26:47] again it's all answer these questions
[1:26:49] first what's your what's your end goal
[1:26:51] and how do you want to reach that and
[1:26:53] are you satisfied with where you are now
[1:26:55] and what can you do about if you're not
