I'm convinced that there is never actually a winner and it's just a way to increase engagement and get more people to buy stuff with his discount code.
Regardless, Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar has many benefits, so while it was a funny joke, I am going to do that each morning for digestion, etc. On my way to store now. Lol
When I was obese and losing, I determined i only wanted to do this once. I also determined, the only way to do this just once, was to never stop. Hit my weight loss goals about 6 years ago now, and still eating right, still lifting, still biking, and still a healthy weight.
@@geno5169 most important is to use a calorie tracker. Weigh your portions and don't exceed your allowance. Be consistent with this above all else. Seasoning is your best friend. Sauces are deceptively high in calories and or sugar. If your losing, focus on chicken and fish, and turkey for your meat, and cube steak is a good beef to try. But honestly, most meats are going to work for you as long as you grill or bake it, and adhere to your calorie allowance. Try to expand your vegetable intake. I found that I liked many more veggies than I ever imagined I would. Keep an open mind. Brussels sprouts, asparagus, spinach, yellow and butternut squash, and boiled cabbage are a few in particular that surprised me. Many veggies can be found in mixed bag varieties in the frozen veggies section at your grocery, and can be very simple to prepare. A general rule is, that the more colorful your plate, the healthier it is. Do not drink your calories. Learn to love water. Coffee or tea is fine, but do not add sugar. Avoid pastas and breads, but potatoes and sweet potatoes are a good substitute for starch and carbs in moderation. Again, obey your calorie allowance. As far as exercising, this channel is already a great place to start. I also enjoy squat university's content. If you can afford it, consider a personal trainer. Make sure to include some cardio. If you're very heavy like I was, try biking, or an elliptical machine for a safer, lower impact experience. I hope this helps. Stick with it. It takes time and consistency.
In my 20s I used to eat so much junk food I got stretch marks on my biceps lol. McDonalds and ritter sports for breakfas, playing videogames in my bed til noon… it was beautiful. Gotta take care of my body now though, cause I don’t wanna die of a heart attack before 40. Or get my toes amputated due diabetes man fkc that shit
They have a problem with being consistent in good habits and not bad habits because bad habits are easier and often even celebrated and pressured to do.
I love how you're not trying to sell yourself here but actually helping with the information we people need. I hope you know that we're very thankful for that.
@@rhondacole4543he's giving you generic information that is partly bullshit so don't praise him too much. The eating after 6:00 p.m. is bullshit, the earlier the cardio is bullshit, two no carb days and two high carb days is bullshit
@@Juggernaut-fg2upI don’t think you made it past the first minute of the video… he tells you those things actually don’t work right after he’s done listing them.
I'm glad I know him well enough because I did pause after the Apple cider vinegar and say "Dude, WTF?" I would have caught on immediately after point 2 but It's in the background as I work.
I follow this channel because it is not like any other in its category. Straight talk clearly explained from one who is educated and experienced. You said many years ago "Let me train you" and that stuck with me. Continued success to you, Jeff. You're really good at this.
I swear Jeff is the goat, my body has only developed as well as it has due to this man’s knowledge. My favorite advice so far being reiterated is “don’t diet.” Finding sustainability so that you can live well and hit your goals has been the greatest tip and has allowed me to eat all my favorite foods and look better than I ever have. Thank you so much Jeff, I don’t know where I’d be without this channel.
Turning 50 and I’m the lightest I’ve ever been. I don’t diet, never have and eat whatever I want because not only is my job fairly physical, I maintain a fairly active lifestyle hiking and cycling. I am however struggling to maintain a consistent strength training regimen and always fall off routine. I’ve noticed considerable loss of muscle. I’ve always been a hardgainer but have never been one for hours in a gym.
I’ve been following your channel for more than 10+ years now (probably since infancy) and you never disappoint - straight shooter and no BS. Happy I’ve followed you on this journey. Thanks Jeff!
Your content is always so good. I use your protein powder and love it. I've taken your suggestions on working out and nutrition and I've dropped 30 pounds and have kept it off for over a year. I'm 57 years old. Resistance bands and a kettlebell have changed my life, along with eating right, sleeping right, and cutting out alcohol. Thanks, Jeff.
Thanks, Jeff, for always being so straightforward. Excuses, laziness, and crap are the biggest reasons people don't achieve their goals. You can fill your head with as much crap as you can your body, and neither are good for you.
Jeff had me going with those first 5 things. Be #4, I had a hunch that he was joking. The actual 5 steps are very simple. 1. Don't diet 2. Drink water 3. Lift weights 4. Eat enough protein 5. Stay consistent
@@jonathancarver2208 The powder was about 5 seconds of the video used as a prop to show how to get more protein if eating actual food is to much, what's he supposed to do, use a competitors protein? Dick.
Thanks Jeff! I’m so happy to say that I’ve been training and work at these 5 things for about 10 months now.. the one I struggle with most is nutrition, but I’ve definitely gotten a lot better!
Love your videos. I'm an RN-BSN, so I have a pretty strong knowledge base to work from. I've never seen you post something that was not accurate. Been following you for about 1 year and in that time I've lost 60 lbs doing the 5 things you mentioned here. According to my scale, my body fat percentage is down to 15%. Keep up the great work, I appreciate it.
@@John-X I was almost one of them; even though I only usually watch specific videos on form/best exercises and am not super familiar with AthleanX, I still should've known lol.
Jeff, I needed to hear this. I'm currently cutting the last bit of body fat I have in an attempt to get under 10% body fat. I'm eating the lowest amount of calories ever thus far. My body fat is currently in low teens. I've noticed that my bench strength has gone down the last few weeks, and it's been majorly discouraging. I've hit a wall, stuck at a certain weight. I'm unable to progress in weight, and the reps I WAS able to do of the weight I'm stuck at is becoming fewer. Two weeks ago, I was repping the weight 5x. Last week, I was only able to rep the same weight 3x. This week, I'm barely able to hit the same weight 3x. It's nice to know there is a legitimate reason. It's even better to know that once I begin to increase my calories, my strength will come back. Now, I won't stress so much about it. Besides, stress kills gains! Cheers.
I wish I could meet Jeff in real life and get some sense smacked in me. This guy comes on everytime and delivers the absolute truth no matter who it is hurting. Never stop making these videos brother Peace.
Dude, you can do it. Pick one thing to change. Just ONE. Something small. Do that one thing until you don’t think about it any more. Then the next. My suggestion: start with the water. Then start with counting your protein. Don’t change anything else. Seriously, not one thing until that one thing your focused on becomes such a habit that if you skip, you miss it.
Great video. What always comes to mind when people talk about fat loss, it's mostly actually not about loosing weight itself, but rather looking good naked. Once you think about it this way, it's a whole different approach.
Been following your channel for years, one key component you always speak about is effort. When I perform my exercises, I spell out each letter doing each set whether it be 12 reps or 18. Focusing on good technique and effort. Thank you, Jeff. Lacy J
Great, Great advice! It's so great you say we don't have to follow anyone's plan, just follow the basics and do what works for you, not pushy like some others!
I have been a "student" of Athlean X for almost 2-years now. Disclosure: I am 61-years old. In all the episodes (a tall order. I know) that have motivated me to push the envelope in my regimen, this one is the deepest on a spiritual level. I am grateful.
I’m 57, soon to be 58. Always relatively lean and athletic, but never “strong” or muscular. Like you, I only recently discovered Jeff. August 2023. Soaking it all in. Completed his dumbbell Jacked program. Can’t wait to work out each day. God bless you and continued success. This guy truly is a savior when it comes to health and fitness. I hope he realizes that.
I am SO sick of the “You HAVE to work out early in the morning” BS! The time of day you workout is completely irrelevant. I am an early afternoon gym guy. It’s when I have my best workouts. For me, morning workouts have to be the closest thing to Hell on Earth.
I always enjoy an earlier workout due to it helping set my mood and pace for the day. But i definitely have had some of my best training sessions, later in the day. Thats when i learned to love some two-a-days
@@letsrock12345 I have no problem with people who like working out in the morning, or the middle of the night. If it’s your thing, great, do it! But stop the “efficiency” BS of working out at that hour. There are 24 hours in a day, and I am awake and accomplishing tasks just as much as they are, just at different times.
I love the comment on consistency-- this one really stood out to me. When we become resistant to healthy habits and state that staying consistent is difficult, I love how Jeff reminds us that we need to remember what bad habits that we have been consistent with. Therefore pointing out that we are in fact, very capable of consistency. This makes us responsible and accountable-- which is empowering. We clearly need to address what healthy habits are sustainable in pursuit of our goals and get after it. Thanks Jeff!
I listened to your top four and kept thinking in my mind, number one is “consistency”…good thing you kept that one for last! It’s worked for me the last 15 years
I can tell that the current fitness trends of TRT, tren, and social media has made Jeff want to make more videos to help beginners and boil it down to the basic rules that help you the most and give you the best bang for your buck. I think these videos are great!
Love to hear this guy talk, very easy to understand and also motivational. Alot of fitness videos give so much advice that it just becomes overwhelming. But this video was great!
My biggest barrier throughout my whole adult life has always been not eating enough. At 5’7”, close to 200 lbs, I want to and will surpass this barrier now and today. Thank you for the content sir
Good advice for young men 20-40 who have a faster metabolism. But being 52 I tried everything he said and it didn't work to lose my love handles. What worked for me was apple cider vinegar empty stomach and taking a gentle walk EVERY day on the treadmill for 50 mins on an empty stomach. Why this worked for me? I burn 200 calories x 7 days = 1400. Then this is the same as having one day a week of a calorie deficit. Stay consistent like he says and now I have my body back as a 30-year-old. But I love this guy!!!
So what worked for you is basically calorie deficit? Jeff didn't say it directly but the nutrition part should incorporate calorie level allowing you to lose weight and stay at that level (or you could burn more calories by workouts like you did). Taking care of nutrition is not just eating healthy but without any control.
@@TheBestOfMe88 Well I was really shocked. I was sometimes training hard for three hours a day five times a week. I kept carbs to a minimum and never ate breakfast. But all that happened was I growing muscle mass but my stomach just remained the same. So what worked for me was to use the fat stored in stomach (on an empty stomach) to power my walking in the morning. As this is what is designed for (to tap into my reserves!) Lol. So I never got hungry and then would wait as long as possible to break the fast. And I am still gaining muscle too with my punishing weights training later, and large doses of protein. Win, win.
Thank you Jeff, here is Pier 52 yo, AtlhleanX user since Feb 2024, in IRON right now, following the nutrition plan, and built a lot of lean mass in few months. Never thought was possible at my age... thks also for all the inspirational video you make. 1. train hard 2. rest "hard 3. a lot of protein... 4. gallons of water 5.repeat =💪
1. Forget diets, incorporate proper nutrition to fuel your body. Get rid of the junk, be mindful of what you eat. 2. Drink 2/3 of your body weight (lbs) in ounces of water every day. 3. Incorporate weight training, not just cardio. 4. Eat 1g protein per 1 pound body weight. (Part of nutrition) 5. Stay consistent. It takes time.
I quit buying protein powder in 2005. A 1 year experiment to see how my body would respond. 19 years later, I've built my best physique ever (beef, chicken, fish eggs, raw milk)
Consistency over time is king. But the big thing is: FORGIVE YOURSELF. You will lose that consistency sometimes. Don't give up. Forgive yourself & get started again. It's not just consistency over a few months, but over years.
Best advice. I'm 64 and been doing this for 3 months. I've already lost 25 pounds and gaining muscle mass. Not diets, just following what he says in this video.
Funny... I was looking at that first list of five things and said to myself: I can't do ANY of that... lol!! So glad it wasn't a real list!! Thanks for the great information!!
I have been VERY consistent.. nearly 3yrs of a non-stop diet of Fish and Chicken breast (yeah and somehow still not sick of it!) No: bread. red meat, sugars/sweets, pop. alcohol processed foods.etc Workout after 2 days off: Resistance 2 hrs - then Cardio 2 hours the next .. am 59 yr old ..went from 200 to 160, bone density increased, heartburn gone.less back issues
A few days later after first watching this video, the water tip alone has done ALOT for me, that stubborn weight I had is starting to come off, faster than expected too, and it helps keep me regular too. I can't wait to implement the other ones. Great work as always guys, thanks a bunch! :)
It's incredible, but not surprising, that the internet has generated so many new myths and BS around fitness. It's nothing new - it was like this before the internet. Fad diets, crazy tactics to lose weight, and of course...mountains of junk products you can buy that will somehow miraculously help you shed pounds, get ripped, etc. Your common sense list are the same things I read in old school bodybuilding books, back in high school. Those books were old then! Lift weights consistently and properly, eat your body weight in high quality proteins while also getting proper nutrition all-around, drink water, get at least 7 hrs of sleep every night, and so on. Thanks for the great vid!
All I can say is THANK YOU !! I stumbled on your videos about a year ago and have implemented a life style with resistance training and nutrition instead of a diet. I cannot believe the massive differences I am seeing. Also, love your chocolate protein shake....but I cheat a little and add a tablespoon of peanut butter....Damn Yummy !!
Most logical and worthy advice to lean and muscular body building health! Ensure at least a third of your plate is filled with protein and consistency in what is doable in your life. Supplement with protein powder if experienced difficulties in sticking to this. Drink lots of water to sustain muscle building and don't skip weight training and just focus on cardio! Thank you, Jeff❤
I used to be in great shape. I’ve had 8 surgeries, currently in physical therapy and struggling. I wish I could come train with you for three months. I feel I could get my health back on track.
After dealing with chronic illness for years, I finally got a surgery around Xmas time and in January I could eat and work out as much as I wanted. I packed on weight like crazy. Now I'm up 17 kg/38 lbs and some of that is body fat. I knew eating like I did was gonna put on fat as well as muscles, and that's not a problem. I wanna get even heavier and build more muscles before I flip to a caloric deficit. I've been lean before and know what it takes so I can get there again if I want to, all it takes is desire, dedication and concistency. Right now I wanna get big more than I wanna look shredded.
Agreed. Weight training is everything AND consistency over time. I will have times where I don’t feel like pushing as hard and I want to eat what I want to eat but because I’ve been at this for 30 years, it’s easy to come back from those times where I feel lazy 😊
I followed two of his premium workout plans and got shredded as hell. Strength and endurance increased maybe 80% by the end of the 2nd program over the course of a 2 year period. They aren't easy but worth it
I lost 135 pound 9 months worked out once a week ! I out 1 inch and a half while loosing weight.1 can daily of fish. Sardines. Mcarel 1/_4 cup greens egg whites ,Tappi,turk beef fish,brown beans. Fri and sat Pizza (half a pizza,ribs,deep fried what ever you want including sauces . 1 day exercise !
Really like the no BS approach this guy takes. I’m fighting to combine 3 things that might be against me: I’m 56, training for 50-100 mile runs, and I wanna add muscle. It’s so freaking hard!

Doesn't matter, demons not gonna let you go and you know it
How much were you in deficit while you were starting out? Also, how long did it take you to hit your goals?
That consistency line is gold. People don't have a consistency problem when they are consistent in their bad habits.

I wish I could meet Jeff in real life and get some sense smacked in me. This guy comes on everytime and delivers the absolute truth no matter who it is hurting. Never stop making these videos brother Peace.
Dude, you can do it. Pick one thing to change. Just ONE. Something small. Do that one thing until you don’t think about it any more. Then the next. My suggestion: start with the water. Then start with counting your protein. Don’t change anything else. Seriously, not one thing until that one thing your focused on becomes such a habit that if you skip, you miss it.
I appreciate a lot for putting subtitles for your each video. It really helps a person who is not native English speaker.
Hi, nice pfp.
Im screwed. I start work at 7pm..i have to eat in the shower..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GREAT STUFF!!!!!
😂
😹😹 silly
😂😂😂
😅😅😅😅 but you can get lots of water! 😅😅
This guy is a human treasure, I swear
Great video. What always comes to mind when people talk about fat loss, it's mostly actually not about loosing weight itself, but rather looking good naked. Once you think about it this way, it's a whole different approach.
Had me in the first half ngl
Been following your channel for years, one key component you always speak about is effort. When I perform my exercises, I spell out each letter doing each set whether it be 12 reps or 18. Focusing on good technique and effort. Thank you, Jeff.

Phew. For the 1st 1min 20sec I thought you'd lost it. Or I had 😮
Ditto 😂
Yeah, I was like WHAAAAAT???
I felt the same way lol. I was sitting there like "oh yeah, I think I've heard apple cider vinegar is pretty good for you idk"
@@dethswurl117 for some weird reason I started questioning AMOUNT of apple cider 🤣 thinking "hmmm...just one teaspoon"
I'm such a dork
Lolll
Great, Great advice! It's so great you say we don't have to follow anyone's plan, just follow the basics and do what works for you, not pushy like some others!
Got me. That list had me pissed off. I watched entire video though and still impressed with the content as usual. Cheers and thanks again
who else wasted a page of paper at the beginning?
😂
Mostly due to the size of the balls I drew 😂
😂😂 Yes sir!
I knew immediately it was horse shit.lol
I didn’t because this was the first comment I saw. So thank you 😂
bro's handwriting is legendary
Write in all caps. Thats the secret
I have been a "student" of Athlean X for almost 2-years now. Disclosure: I am 61-years old.
In all the episodes (a tall order. I know) that have motivated me to push the envelope in my regimen, this one is the deepest on a spiritual level. I am grateful.
I’m 57, soon to be 58. Always relatively lean and athletic, but never “strong” or muscular. Like you, I only recently discovered Jeff. August 2023. Soaking it all in. Completed his dumbbell Jacked program. Can’t wait to work out each day. God bless you and continued success. This guy truly is a savior when it comes to health and fitness. I hope he realizes that.
He is good but don’t expect to look like him… and this is not because you are 50 or older.
Your humor is on point, always puts a smile on my face!
He's really making it easy for us...
You can sense the 'undercover urgency' in Jeff's voice.
He wants us to succeed. GET AFTER IT ! 💪
Wow, I was about to leave this video faster than I clicked in to it when you started that list.
It's for men.
I am SO sick of the “You HAVE to work out early in the morning” BS! The time of day you workout is completely irrelevant. I am an early afternoon gym guy. It’s when I have my best workouts. For me, morning workouts have to be the closest thing to Hell on Earth.
Big time. 6am is a time to sleep which is vital for every single aspect of wellness.
I always enjoy an earlier workout due to it helping set my mood and pace for the day.
But i definitely have had some of my best training sessions, later in the day.
Thats when i learned to love some two-a-days
Watch the whole video.
@@letsrock12345 I have no problem with people who like working out in the morning, or the middle of the night. If it’s your thing, great, do it! But stop the “efficiency” BS of working out at that hour. There are 24 hours in a day, and I am awake and accomplishing tasks just as much as they are, just at different times.
True, I workout at night. I start at 11 pm lol, and end at like 12: 30 am. It is the same thing
Thanks, Jeff. Appreciate it as always.
I love the comment on consistency-- this one really stood out to me. When we become resistant to healthy habits and state that staying consistent is difficult, I love how Jeff reminds us that we need to remember what bad habits that we have been consistent with. Therefore pointing out that we are in fact, very capable of consistency. This makes us responsible and accountable-- which is empowering. We clearly need to address what healthy habits are sustainable in pursuit of our goals and get after it. Thanks Jeff!
You ever stop and think that you’ve been watching Jeff since you were a teenager and now your a fully grown adult with responsibilities? No, just me?
Prob not, but some of us are adults longer than Jeff is. 😊
Yup 😢
Me too
i literally used to watch him when i started lifting when i was 14, im 22 now 😭
I listened to your top four and kept thinking in my mind, number one is “consistency”…good thing you kept that one for last! It’s worked for me the last 15 years
This is why i follow this channel. Jeff speaking facts as usual. Thanks my man.
I can tell that the current fitness trends of TRT, tren, and social media has made Jeff want to make more videos to help beginners and boil it down to the basic rules that help you the most and give you the best bang for your buck. I think these videos are great!
The most important has been missed “ Sleeping for 8 hours per day “
You are right. But also 'get regularly checked', 'dont get stressed', 'be mentally healthy'... so there you go
7 20
Arnold says sleep faster😅
8 hours,,,, I wish
@@AndreyRubtsovRU err, those might be important for general health but they arent getting you lean bro
Excellent no BS info. I knew at the beginning those things could not be something we should be doing. Thank you for all you do. You're amazing.
Even Jeff’s face is ripped
Love to hear this guy talk, very easy to understand and also motivational. Alot of fitness videos give so much advice that it just becomes overwhelming. But this video was great!
I can't believe I was writing them down! 😂😂😂
So was I! I stopped after ACV and checking the length of the video.
I can't believe anyone believes you 😂
We know you're fishing for likes
My biggest barrier throughout my whole adult life has always been not eating enough. At 5’7”, close to 200 lbs, I want to and will surpass this barrier now and today. Thank you for the content sir
Good advice for young men 20-40 who have a faster metabolism. But being 52 I tried everything he said and it didn't work to lose my love handles. What worked for me was apple cider vinegar empty stomach and taking a gentle walk EVERY day on the treadmill for 50 mins on an empty stomach. Why this worked for me? I burn 200 calories x 7 days = 1400. Then this is the same as having one day a week of a calorie deficit. Stay consistent like he says and now I have my body back as a 30-year-old. But I love this guy!!!
So what worked for you is basically calorie deficit? Jeff didn't say it directly but the nutrition part should incorporate calorie level allowing you to lose weight and stay at that level (or you could burn more calories by workouts like you did). Taking care of nutrition is not just eating healthy but without any control.
@@TheBestOfMe88 Well I was really shocked. I was sometimes training hard for three hours a day five times a week. I kept carbs to a minimum and never ate breakfast. But all that happened was I growing muscle mass but my stomach just remained the same. So what worked for me was to use the fat stored in stomach (on an empty stomach) to power my walking in the morning. As this is what is designed for (to tap into my reserves!) Lol. So I never got hungry and then would wait as long as possible to break the fast. And I am still gaining muscle too with my punishing weights training later, and large doses of protein. Win, win.
8:06 - Man, that "That's not true!" hit me hard. Thanks, Jeff. You are a legend!
So what is the part about Quaker one minite oats being bad in the thumbnail?
I'm wondering the same, maybe it's related to not following diets that prescribe particular types of food
It's the amount of sugars in their flavored oatmeals
Jeff! You've been my fitness mentor for 10 years now.. You never let me down!
Thanks for the advice bro .
*bud
Thank you Jeff, here is Pier 52 yo, AtlhleanX user since Feb 2024, in IRON right now, following the nutrition plan, and built a lot of lean mass in few months. Never thought was possible at my age... thks also for all the inspirational video you make. 1. train hard 2. rest "hard 3. a lot of protein... 4. gallons of water 5.repeat =💪
Just imagine people who only saw the video till 1:70
2:10 ? 😉
1. Forget diets, incorporate proper nutrition to fuel your body. Get rid of the junk, be mindful of what you eat.
2. Drink 2/3 of your body weight (lbs) in ounces of water every day.
3. Incorporate weight training, not just cardio.
4. Eat 1g protein per 1 pound body weight. (Part of nutrition)
5. Stay consistent. It takes time.
1. Diet
2. Hydration
3. Resistance Training
4. Protein
5. Consistency
1. Nutrition*** no diets
Amen!!! Jeff always cuts through the nonsense with the straight truth. Your teaching is a fine wine, brother. Please keep on keeping on.
He had me in the first half not gonna lie
I quit buying protein powder in 2005. A 1 year experiment to see how my body would respond.
19 years later, I've built my best physique ever (beef, chicken, fish eggs, raw milk)
I do want to be ripped. Sadly, I feel the only ripping I’ll be doing is farts. Possibly my pants too.
😂
Man you got this. Everybody is capable of getting in good shape. It takes a while, so just start where you can and progressively do more.
After 10 years your content still delivers wisdom
Like Grandma always said, abs are made in the kitchen. I'm just kidding my grandma never said that she's pretty fat
Consistency over time is king. But the big thing is: FORGIVE YOURSELF.
You will lose that consistency sometimes. Don't give up. Forgive yourself & get started again. It's not just consistency over a few months, but over years.
Best advice. I'm 64 and been doing this for 3 months. I've already lost 25 pounds and gaining muscle mass. Not diets, just following what he says in this video.
First list had my heart hurting lol. The apple cider vinegar one kinda threw me for a loop though so I kept watching lol.
Funny... I was looking at that first list of five things and said to myself: I can't do ANY of that... lol!! So glad it wasn't a real list!! Thanks for the great information!!
Forming good habits isn't that hard, if you regularly hit the gym, then you already formed one. Just add more, one by one.
Love how easy Jeff makes it. None of these things are difficult. Nutrition is the majority of the equation.
I knew what was coming as soon as I saw the title
I have been VERY consistent.. nearly 3yrs of a non-stop diet of Fish and Chicken breast (yeah and somehow still not sick of it!) No: bread. red meat, sugars/sweets, pop. alcohol processed foods.etc
Workout after 2 days off: Resistance 2 hrs - then Cardio 2 hours the next .. am 59 yr old ..went from 200 to 160, bone density increased, heartburn gone.less back issues
A few days later after first watching this video, the water tip alone has done ALOT for me, that stubborn weight I had is starting to come off, faster than expected too, and it helps keep me regular too. I can't wait to implement the other ones. Great work as always guys, thanks a bunch! :)
Who else had started drinking while watching the video? :D
It’s the beer that kills me.😊
I opened a beer and then clicked this video 😅 watching while having a red horse
Imagine drinking
Drinking Water 🚰😂
It's incredible, but not surprising, that the internet has generated so many new myths and BS around fitness. It's nothing new - it was like this before the internet. Fad diets, crazy tactics to lose weight, and of course...mountains of junk products you can buy that will somehow miraculously help you shed pounds, get ripped, etc. Your common sense list are the same things I read in old school bodybuilding books, back in high school. Those books were old then! Lift weights consistently and properly, eat your body weight in high quality proteins while also getting proper nutrition all-around, drink water, get at least 7 hrs of sleep every night, and so on. Thanks for the great vid!
All I can say is THANK YOU !! I stumbled on your videos about a year ago and have implemented a life style with resistance training and nutrition instead of a diet. I cannot believe the massive differences I am seeing. Also, love your chocolate protein shake....but I cheat a little and add a tablespoon of peanut butter....Damn Yummy !!
The only fitness guru worth listening to.
Jeff is always so fucking real. There are no tricks, there are no secrets.
This is one of your best videos in recent times. From the heart ❤️
I LOVE this... I've HATED the word "diet" for MANY years now... And others should as well
Most logical and worthy advice to lean and muscular body building health! Ensure at least a third of your plate is filled with protein and consistency in what is doable in your life. Supplement with protein powder if experienced difficulties in sticking to this. Drink lots of water to sustain muscle building and don't skip weight training and just focus on cardio! Thank you, Jeff❤
I used to be in great shape. I’ve had 8 surgeries, currently in physical therapy and struggling. I wish I could come train with you for three months. I feel I could get my health back on track.
After dealing with chronic illness for years, I finally got a surgery around Xmas time and in January I could eat and work out as much as I wanted. I packed on weight like crazy. Now I'm up 17 kg/38 lbs and some of that is body fat. I knew eating like I did was gonna put on fat as well as muscles, and that's not a problem. I wanna get even heavier and build more muscles before I flip to a caloric deficit. I've been lean before and know what it takes so I can get there again if I want to, all it takes is desire, dedication and concistency. Right now I wanna get big more than I wanna look shredded.
This guy is Tier one in fitness advice on YT. Over all the years watching fitness guys here he knows the most and is non BS.
Almost lost my mind over the 5... I'm glad U made that turn and talk the real deal of looking fit.
Agreed. Weight training is everything AND consistency over time. I will have times where I don’t feel like pushing as hard and I want to eat what I want to eat but because I’ve been at this for 30 years, it’s easy to come back from those times where I feel lazy 😊
I followed two of his premium workout plans and got shredded as hell. Strength and endurance increased maybe 80% by the end of the 2nd program over the course of a 2 year period. They aren't easy but worth it
I lost 135 pound 9 months worked out once a week ! I out 1 inch and a half while loosing weight.1 can daily of fish. Sardines. Mcarel 1/_4 cup greens egg whites ,Tappi,turk beef fish,brown beans. Fri and sat Pizza (half a pizza,ribs,deep fried what ever you want including sauces . 1 day exercise !
Really like the no BS approach this guy takes. I’m fighting to combine 3 things that might be against me: I’m 56, training for 50-100 mile runs, and I wanna add muscle. It’s so freaking hard!
