Im really glad you included the mental health aspect. It is one of the very necessary components to remaining consistent. Not just in fitness but anything we do.
Agree with most of this apart from saying calories don’t matter. I agree tracking isn’t always necessary, but having a general idea of if you are in a surplus or deficit is crucial, depending on if you are trying to gain muscle or lose fat
guy is quite dumb i wont lie, been training 10 years, never done isolating ab work, just secondarily worked through pullup stability and squat stability, yet are just as peeled as the guys in the video, he really has no idea what he is talking about in terms of weight training or diet lol
Ever since the moment I found this channel, I haven’t stopped watching his videos. All of them are so coool. They’re so straight to the point and the way that everything is talked is so perfect. It’s definitely one of the best channels I’ve found in my life. Keep the good work man!!! ❤
I have a six pack but don’t do cardio. I do 20-minute HIIT Monday and Friday and lift Tu-Thurs. I’m making a video on my routine & framework. Six pack is more determined by diet than exercise in my opinion.
Steve Reeves guide to building an aesthetic body is also ( and in my and many others personal opinion) the golden way for natural bodybuilders to obtain the perfect physique. He incorporates a lot of compound movements and some isolation movements into his routines to promote even development throughout his body by working out three times a week. He even incorporates Olympic weight lifting movements to develop strength and power into your physique to give it more of a purpose rather than just looking good. Highly recommend these 4 books Dynamic Muscle building, Building the classic physique, Hercules cook book, and the equally as good one as Building the classic physique is his bodybuilding journal.
@@MultiPcExpertGhost Don't waste your money on info you can find for free. Following someone's workout because you want to look like them will make you disappointed.
Adequate rest becomes more crucial as we age. At 63 I can still come close to the athleticism of my younger days; but I clearly need more recovery time so I don't fall into the catabolic pitfall of overtraining.
Wow dude I hope I grow old ripping and shredding like you guys. In my family tree people are pretty much done with life after 50. Hope I can break the cycle😂
@@bzyspecial Go to an 'old folks home' and see what they look like at 65 & 75...I have no intention of ending my life eating shit food, with no teeth, and wearing a colostomy bag. Get the picture?!
What a balanced video man,i usually lost interest in this type of videos after 2-3 min watching, but this one kept me watching the entire video, this is my honest reaction idk when the video was over , keep going on man i wish you'll hit 1 mil mark soon 💪
ashwaghanda is very very very optional to build your physique, if you have sleep problems take zinc and magnesium make sure your diet is complete and diverse and after that think about ashwaghanda, if you really want to boost testo think about fadogia agrestis and tongkat ali (andrew huberman) but the rest of the video is pretty damn good 👍🏼
For me weighted pull up and weighted chin-ups and being lean is all you need with a good shoulder and bench routine now im aesthetic af. I recommend getting to 5 reps 90 pounds attached for weighted pull ups and chin ups and a 275 bench.
If you guys wanna do this at home, get a pair of gymnastic rings. Do weighted pull-ups and weighted dips. You'll need a weight belt, chain, and a few plates. I really recommend farleks and sprinting for legs/core. Look up Charlie Francis for sprint training.
do you think performing incline bench press and decline weighted pushups of 4 sets and 8-12 reps twice a week is enough for aesthetic pecs? can u share with me what do you for chest? what are your exercises and sets and split? how often do you train chest
@@bariswysYou can try oap or oap progressions instead of weighted pushups. I do believe wall assited hand stand or free hand stand push ups are also a must.
Great video, all stuff I've learned myself over the past few months. It really helps to focus on neglected muscle groups, getting those beginner gains then throwing them into your rotation is a huge benefit. My only other advice not mentioned is form and mind muscle connection. Both take practice, knowledge, and deliberate effort. I could knock out 50-100 situps for example, with okay form, and barely feel a burn. Now if I try that with proper form bicycle crunches or V-ups, I'm going to be in a world of hurt and probably flop around like a fish by the 3rd or 4th set. Another example would be concentration curls. Sure, they're great for isolating your short head and they're pretty easy to do all things considered. GREAT beginner exercise. Now try preacher curls with a focus on the eccentric, man you can even drop the weight and slightly increase the reps and the burn is gonna be 5x worse. Like I said it just takes time, knowledge, and practice. You will feel what's working best for you with some experience. Basically, never stop learning!
guys don’t do the neck bridge exercise for growing your neck. this is because it damages the structure of the spine from the compression, (athlean-x talks more on this). instead incorporate safer neck exercises, such as neck curls, dumbbell shrug etc
Never understood the appeal of neck exercizes beyond working the traps in general a nd maybe some shrugs. Then again I've got some pretty serious neck issues which I aggravated more than a handful of times working my traps and neck too hard. I think you can get a way just doing upright rows.
Thanks for your hard research and for reaching out to for those if us who can really need to Man up and speak like the Man you should sound. A million thanks!
I disagree with the statement about diet. As someone who has achieved 8-9% body fat naturally with a good bit of muscle (165 lbs at 5’11”) I can say the biggest factor is definitely diet. Focus on high protein foods and attempt to mostly eliminate carbs from your diet. You’ll find that carbs are very prevalent in the American diet so it is easy to get enough to sustain your workouts without really trying. Focus on slow digesting carbs with low glycemic index (vegetables, sweet potatoes, limited quantities of fruit when you need something sweet) Fats are VERY high in calories but are needed for healthy hormonal function, make sure you are getting enough from eggs and fatty fish but limit overall consumption after that. Protein protein protein. Every meal you eat should be primarily this. Also use hot sauce and low sugar/calorie bbq sauce! This will help you get through your daily chicken and broccoli and honestly with sauces it becomes somewhat of an enjoyable meal. Some foods to base your diet around: baked chicken, vegetables (broccoli, chopped spinach, baby carrots are easy to eat). Salad is very good for making you feel full but very low on calories, same goes for pickles. Eggs. Fish. Low fat plain yogurt with fruit. Canned tuna with low-fat mayo. Protein bars/shakes. Sweet potatoes. Try to limit calories to around 1800(men)/1500(women) per day while staying active. You are more attractive when you are healthy. Your eyes are clearer, your skin looks better, your breath and body odor improves, and you are overall happier and more confident. It is worth it! Good luck :)

Going to Greece is a go-go too. The weather is very good for outdoor exercise. Or search for similar weather anywhere else. Outdoor life is great for exercise.
Good video bro, but i would't describe this as 🇬🇷 ''greek soldier'' aesthetic body to be honest. Majority of Greeks never looked like this even when you look at ancient creek art. The this whole ''sparatacus'' image is a fixation and i say this myself as person of Greek heritage. To be really i honest i traveld to places like Ghana and Ivory Coast with friend. Many men had this type of athlectic aesthetic body by nature, the young guys workd alot in the hot sun so it builds up a nice physique which is very common in West-Africa.
Yeah. I think people call it greek god body or greek soldier just because it sound cool. Greek soldier probably had more sturdy body, not lean abs. They look stocky because they were shorter too. I also saw a video about bench press invention, before that people dindnt have big chest muscles, it was more about arms and deltoids, thick waist. The big chest/small waist thing is a modern aesthetic.
Please do your body the favor of concentrating on MOBILITY. As you work out, strive to perform reps with the goal of extending your ranges of motion. Do not listen to trainers who tell you to minimize movement, this will imbalance your muscles as they grow and make you injury prone. Concentrate on mobility, strength, then looks in that order. All the best in your journey. :)
Would appreciate educated opinions here: early 50’s, train 50-70 min sessions 5 times per week for almost 9 months now. Right now trying to cut 5-6 lbs of fat and then bulk up 4-5 lbs. I try to go for 10-12 reps on most exercises, leaving energy for 1-3 more, to avoid potential injuries. I have reduced BF and I am now more defined, but do not particularly see myself “more packed”. I notice I do not sweat too much during my workouts; and the following day I don’t feel particularly sore, just lightly. I once read after a good, productive workout you SHOULD feel sore, but not trashed. My question is: Am I lifting too light? Should I always go to failure on each and every set?
The secret ? It’s no secret. Eat healthy. Drink water, workout. 1) eating right : salads, lean chicken, whole grains. Fruits, veggies. 2) Workout : Run, pushups, squats, pull-ups, consistently . Hit the gym. Bench, dips, squats, dead lift, pull-ups, rows, military press. Decline sit-ups, planks. 3) Drink water - the HELL with supplements. Do NOT consume chips, cereal, or snacks. 4- most important - stay consistent. Don’t give up.
okay, after 4-5 months with very bad habits I'm back on the horse again. 4 weeks now and I have been doing gymnastics monday, push wednesday, legs thursday and pull saturday, plus cutting sugar hard and getting a little more protein. Almost back at full strength already and now I am looking towards creatine for supliment.. I have never tried it before
The quickest way to building muscle (imho) in 40 years of training various modalities including Furey's excellent combat conditioning, kettle bells, heavy weights, light dumbells is - high intensity training twice a week. Search for the Colorado Experiment and there's a great routine. I'm doing about 10 v intense sets including some negative only, per session. If, and its a big if, you can go from one exercise to the next with no rest it's v good for your heart and lungs too. Im prob the biggest ive ever been at age 56, just been back to a gym for just over a year. I now have to work at getting the lard off...
He should have mentioned the glutes, which is just as important for aesthetics. Calves are too, but people usually wear pants even if they don't wear a bulky shirt. Realistically, a man has to focus a little bit on glutes and calves, and just do a variation of squats and of deadlifts, and the legs will take care of themselves.
@@evilherojoseph Basically yep. I do like to occasionally focus on hip extenders and gluteus medius with some exercises like side leg raises, good stretching, clam shells, elevated hip/leg thrusts simply because it really helps keep things in balance and get rid of lower back pain. It's a muscle group often overlooked but not something you want to completely neglect even if you don't need to bulk it up, just keep it strong and inline. Otherwise I'm just doing squats, deadlifts, and weighted lunges on leg days.
hi, i just wached your glass skin video a while back and have had great results thx to u so i was wondering if you could do a hair care video on how to get flowing thick hair.
The best form of cardio that no one talks about is jumping rope. Burns a ton of cals while also being low impact/easy to recover from. I'll jump rope first thing out of bed in the morning for 20-30 min 6x per week. It's never had a negative impact on my lifting later in the day or my CNS recovery from lifting. Since it's full body, I've found it to be very complimentary to lifting. Both with total circulation and it being muscle sparing. Haven't found it to be catabolic/cortisol inducing at all.
@selimsworld - Max incline walking not holding on is great and definitely underrated. Doing 3mph at 15% for 30 min burns a TON of cals. My issue with the Stairmaster is that people hold on and hunch over. I never see anyone standing tall and doing it hands-free. A lot of people do this with incline walking too holding onto the top which defeats the purpose. LOL
You're a beast bro: - for having the motivation to hop out of bed and do something hard - 20 to 30 minutes of jump rope is insane to me. I'm dead after 2 minutes.
addition to working out and eating a healthy diet, you should also focus on developing good posture and a confident demeanor. These are two important qualities of the Greek soldier aesthetic.
Ashwagandha is known too promote levels of anhedonia and depression whilst subjects taper off. Due to that key detail, I would rather people build up a dose over a lengthy period of time.
Ive always had great results with following bodybuilding protocols from the pre steroid era. Simpler times with a focus on overall health rather than just muscle size
Creatine and ashwaghanda are two things that absolutely don't work for me - but there are better alternatives. Theanine in place of ashwaghanda and glycine, Tongkat Ali, and various minerals to replace creatine. There is a massive number of available and excellent supplements on the market - some will work for you, some will not. There are always substitutes. Btw, it will help if you have lots of quality protein and yes, fat!!
Yeah,i dont like creatine either,been working out for over 10 years,and every time i try creatine I remember why i dont like it,first thing it bloates the f outta me(not in a good way) the intramuscular water retention is ridiculous,oh...and in my case it causes hair loss.I dont think these are good trade offs for a little bit of energy an extra cup of coffee/tea can give me.I also tried tonkat...nothing...i have to try another brand ,must've been bunk...i read only people who dont produce adequate test seem to get efects from it.I think sleep,less stress,and a balanced lifestyle(the usuals) will make a bigger difference than any pill will.I've experimented with a huge variety of supplements over the years and came to the conclusion that 90% of them are way underdosed to be efective,and the 10% work to some degree provided you have a solid foundation.But yeah..tea is harmless tho :)
I went to the gym for 2 years consistently, only recently discovered I wasn’t eating enough so that maybe a key factor on what I’m about to say, in that 2 years, although I got a lot stronger my body didn’t actually take change ( could be a case of body dysmorphia) meaning the 2 year difference I looked the EXACT same, how would resting the muscle/ rest days work for someone who has an extremely heavy manual labour job, in recent times I’ve been eating 2.7-3k Kcal of clean foods, but that is to lose a bit of weight, any answers to if it’s possible to build muscle by going to the gym and not giving the muscles enough time to rest due to my job?
think of muscles as a mountain, when you do heavy lifts you destroy that muscle and it needs to rebuild from the ground up. Over a rest period of 2-3 days it will be back to full stronger than ever. If you don't rest, you continually break down a muscle that hasn't rebuilt and thus little to no progress. Unless you are on gear, you need 2 days Minimum of rest generally 3 until you hit the same muscle again if you are training to complete muscle failure.
Well, 2 years consistently to the gym give you nothing if you didn't do it correctly, so this is the first question. I am a full time business owner that work 18 hours a day 7 days a week, literally less for the rest time than yours, but I am making progress both strength, appearance. As mentioned in the video, I'm making progress with progressive overload, add up more weights/reps/etc. If your job and lifestyle needs 2.7-3k Kcal for daily, you've to break it down. The 2nd question, do you have enough protein? Try to age 1g per Kg body weight, increase slowly up to 2g per Kg bodyweight. That way, it’s really possible to build muscle by going to the gym and not giving the muscles enough time to rest due to the job, IF WE DO IT CORRECTLY.
@@Herbaltum I get what you’re saying, and I don’t know what I was doing incorrectly this time round 2.7-3k Kcals 200g protein per day, people say rest you muscles, rest days are needed, yet with my job and going gym, I have a total of 8 hours (sleeping) to repair, if I’m not sleeping I have something heavy to lift 😂
@@Herbaltum also, in the gym I wasn’t doing anything incorrectly, my form was correct, Plenty of TUT, progressively going heavier, don’t get me wrong I got a hell of a lot stronger! But visually? No progress what so ever
i love that men are looking to look like a Spartan soldier and purely for the male gaze. instead of "spot me on the bench bro" it's "can u come stand over me and protect me" and that's so rad
The most important first step is to pick the right parents, ones with wide shoulders and narrow hips, who aren't fat and have high metabolic rates and high natural levels of testosterone, and pretty faces. If you like hairy chests and beards, include that on the pick list too. A bit of lean muscular look and vascularity helps as well. Helps if they have enough income to cook high protein quality meals for you, and won't let you eat a lot of junk food. Now, talk them into a gym membership for you, and spend your free time there, starting when your testosterone starts to kick in. In just a few years, you should have an esthetic body, and maybe a pregnant girl friend too. (If you drink, don't park; accidents cause people).
No need to fixate on a super narrow waist. Many Greek statues have thicker waists in proportion to chests than the modern aesthetic. And some would be considered as having "skipped leg day" Check out the Riace Bronzes for examples of the Classical period aesthetic.
step 1: get depression step 2: get a gym membership step 3: get as strong and big as possible step 4: neglect all the muscles except the ones that you need for an aesthetic body Done
Honestly working out 1 time per week full body is better then nothing. And that amount of rest will get you stronger. I prefere 2 times per week. More then that I just get fatigued.
Hindu pushups! Good, slow form Start with 25, break set and reps as you like Add 5 more reps every 5 days or 7 days, never stop 😁 Want physique? You gotta try this!
The anthropologist in me dies a little inside whenever I see people describe this as a "greek-soldier body". This is not a greek soldier body, this is a modern day human being body. No, Greeks, even soldiers, were not doing great workouts, macros or anything. They just kind of ate the mediterranean diets, and lifted their weaponry. Honestly, you would be stunned just how fit your body can become with some greek styled armor and spears and just swinging that and fighting for hours on end. Really, the Greek soldier body was just an average looking man, that you would see today, with no major things highlighted on their body and being toned. That is all. Sorry rant over but I hate that people think 300 is what greek soldiers looked like lol
Forget cardio/jogging ! It takes you 20-30 minutes to run 3 miles. Take 20-30 minutes and do 100 yard dashes with anywhere from 2-5 minutes rest in between. It will burn just as much fat and increase your testosterone which will help your muscle recovery from your workout. Real cardio is going for a half mile jog then do supersets at the gym for the next hour. 1-2 minutes push exercise, 1-2 minutes legs, 1-2 minutes pull exercises. Wash, rinse, repeat for an hour straight.
good video but seriously in my opinion, you dont need to train seperate your neck or forearm muscle. These muscles are both involved in many pull exercises when you train your back for example. Just focus on some main compound exercises to build your strength and progressive overloads is the key
Thanks bro! I’m 52 and been building muscle for the past 5 years. Ready for my first cut. Not going to lie? Is scary But after watching this im confident
Cant wait to try the vacuum all throughout the day. 😎 just abandoned the weights and am hitting boxing and will begin calisthinetics. 😢😅 will see what happens lol. Already have muscles so guess its gonna look awesome in a few months
Can you share those Ashwaganda studies? I just read a study that said it did nothing, so I'm curious. I do feel better when I take it but I'm not sure if that's just a placebo affect.
Can a woman apply those to her routine too? All my life i struggled with fat loss, and i specifically say fat, because there were times my weight was ideal for my height, but i could still see all the fat my body was storing, at that time i used to lose weight only by diets, no exercise, so you can imagine that it didn't look good as people say you'll after you lose some weight. Anyways, i finally started to workout and gain muscles, my body stores fat, but i also gain muscles very easily, so i'm starting to program my changes to achieve an aesthetic body "female version", i want to see how muscular my body can get as a natural of course, while still keeping my curves.
Nope can’t use this. Exercise, having a good diet, occasionally playing sports or doing cardio, and getting enough sleep only works for boys. NO GIRLS ALLOWED LADY. 😂
Ikr, I've been doing push pull leg only for 6 months already shown a great definition on the leg, thats where u will get your power in fighting, hiking, sprinting etc2. Don't ever skip leg day, it is the most valuable asset of a Greek soldier as they walk dozens of miles with weight back in those days. Just do squats lunges calf, that's all you need for leg. The rest is bullshit
Magnifique, excellent video, thank you. Only have to say that sugar is essential food for humans, brown traditional sugar, not the one you find in industrial products (poison).
If you do only weight/bodyweight training your body won't look special. However if you mix different kind of sports which are VERY different you ll have a unique physique
I count my calories rounded by the 50s, i dont say i ate 122 cal i call it 150 or 102 cal is 100 cal, just have 0g of added sugar in ur life, consume 100-200g protein per day, you will 100% get lean and retain muscle, a life hack is milk, u can meal replace with milk, add protein powder and cinnamon keep it low cal just try to get full then u hit the sauna that entire meal drops right outta ur body in an hour of jopping in and out of sauna, i do brutal labor for 13hr shifts so i dont need a treadmill but cardio is 100% required if u dont labor

What a balanced video man,i usually lost interest in this type of videos after 2-3 min watching, but this one kept me watching the entire video, this is my honest reaction idk when the video was over , keep going on man i wish you'll hit 1 mil mark soon 💪
ashwaghanda is very very very optional to build your physique, if you have sleep problems take zinc and magnesium make sure your diet is complete and diverse and after that think about ashwaghanda, if you really want to boost testo think about fadogia agrestis and tongkat ali (andrew huberman) but the rest of the video is pretty damn good 👍🏼
For me weighted pull up and weighted chin-ups and being lean is all you need with a good shoulder and bench routine now im aesthetic af. I recommend getting to 5 reps 90 pounds attached for weighted pull ups and chin ups and a 275 bench.
chicken legs
Your thumbnail made me wipe my screen 😂
If you guys wanna do this at home, get a pair of gymnastic rings. Do weighted pull-ups and weighted dips. You'll need a weight belt, chain, and a few plates.
I really recommend farleks and sprinting for legs/core. Look up Charlie Francis for sprint training.
do you think performing incline bench press and decline weighted pushups of 4 sets and 8-12 reps twice a week is enough for aesthetic pecs? can u share with me what do you for chest? what are your exercises and sets and split? how often do you train chest
@@bariswysYou can try oap or oap progressions instead of weighted pushups. I do believe wall assited hand stand or free hand stand push ups are also a must.
Great video, all stuff I've learned myself over the past few months. It really helps to focus on neglected muscle groups, getting those beginner gains then throwing them into your rotation is a huge benefit.
My only other advice not mentioned is form and mind muscle connection. Both take practice, knowledge, and deliberate effort. I could knock out 50-100 situps for example, with okay form, and barely feel a burn.
Now if I try that with proper form bicycle crunches or V-ups, I'm going to be in a world of hurt and probably flop around like a fish by the 3rd or 4th set.
Another example would be concentration curls. Sure, they're great for isolating your short head and they're pretty easy to do all things considered. GREAT beginner exercise. Now try preacher curls with a focus on the eccentric, man you can even drop the weight and slightly increase the reps and the burn is gonna be 5x worse.
Like I said it just takes time, knowledge, and practice. You will feel what's working best for you with some experience. Basically, never stop learning!
WOW! Your narrative voice is GOLDEN. Your instruction is Concise and to the Point. Liked and Sub'd.
Love this video, so practicable and full of actionable insights.
guys don’t do the neck bridge exercise for growing your neck. this is because it damages the structure of the spine from the compression, (athlean-x talks more on this). instead incorporate safer neck exercises, such as neck curls, dumbbell shrug etc
you can do neck bridges and other next calisthentics its just that you need a strong base first and you need to perfect your phone
@@613willperfect your phone?
Never understood the appeal of neck exercizes beyond working the traps in general a nd maybe some shrugs. Then again I've got some pretty serious neck issues which I aggravated more than a handful of times working my traps and neck too hard. I think you can get a way just doing upright rows.
This is the best fitness video i've seen so far.
Not everyone has to be a gym bro
I really find your voice pleasant to listen to, great content as well mate!
Thanks for your hard research and for reaching out to for those if us who can really need to Man up and speak like the Man you should sound. A million thanks!

I disagree with the statement about diet. As someone who has achieved 8-9% body fat naturally with a good bit of muscle (165 lbs at 5’11”) I can say the biggest factor is definitely diet.
Focus on high protein foods and attempt to mostly eliminate carbs from your diet. You’ll find that carbs are very prevalent in the American diet so it is easy to get enough to sustain your workouts without really trying. Focus on slow digesting carbs with low glycemic index (vegetables, sweet potatoes, limited quantities of fruit when you need something sweet)
Fats are VERY high in calories but are needed for healthy hormonal function, make sure you are getting enough from eggs and fatty fish but limit overall consumption after that.
Protein protein protein. Every meal you eat should be primarily this. Also use hot sauce and low sugar/calorie bbq sauce! This will help you get through your daily chicken and broccoli and honestly with sauces it becomes somewhat of an enjoyable meal.
Some foods to base your diet around: baked chicken, vegetables (broccoli, chopped spinach, baby carrots are easy to eat). Salad is very good for making you feel full but very low on calories, same goes for pickles. Eggs. Fish. Low fat plain yogurt with fruit. Canned tuna with low-fat mayo. Protein bars/shakes. Sweet potatoes. Try to limit calories to around 1800(men)/1500(women) per day while staying active.
You are more attractive when you are healthy. Your eyes are clearer, your skin looks better, your breath and body odor improves, and you are overall happier and more confident. It is worth it! Good luck :)
we must stay focused sisters
appreciated. for abs cable crunch is best for me. because it is well suited for progessive overload

which AI summarizer is this bro?
Going to Greece is a go-go too. The weather is very good for outdoor exercise. Or search for similar weather anywhere else. Outdoor life is great for exercise.
Good video bro, but i would't describe this as 🇬🇷 ''greek soldier'' aesthetic body to be honest. Majority of Greeks never looked like this even when you look at ancient creek art. The this whole ''sparatacus'' image is a fixation and i say this myself as person of Greek heritage. To be really i honest i traveld to places like Ghana and Ivory Coast with friend. Many men had this type of athlectic aesthetic body by nature, the young guys workd alot in the hot sun so it builds up a nice physique which is very common in West-Africa.
Greek people are Albanian
Dogs
@@karlbyrne6021bro what
YOUR TRUTH IS OUTSTANDING
Yeah. I think people call it greek god body or greek soldier just because it sound cool. Greek soldier probably had more sturdy body, not lean abs. They look stocky because they were shorter too. I also saw a video about bench press invention, before that people dindnt have big chest muscles, it was more about arms and deltoids, thick waist. The big chest/small waist thing is a modern aesthetic.
Agree with neck being very important, I like manual resistance (Where you push your hands against your own head)
I do them on my train home. Get some interesting looks
Please do your body the favor of concentrating on MOBILITY. As you work out, strive to perform reps with the goal of extending your ranges of motion. Do not listen to trainers who tell you to minimize movement, this will imbalance your muscles as they grow and make you injury prone. Concentrate on mobility, strength, then looks in that order. All the best in your journey. :)
The advice about taking up a sport will help with mobility to an extent as well.
100%
Would appreciate educated opinions here: early 50’s, train 50-70 min sessions 5 times per week for almost 9 months now. Right now trying to cut 5-6 lbs of fat and then bulk up 4-5 lbs. I try to go for 10-12 reps on most exercises, leaving energy for 1-3 more, to avoid potential injuries. I have reduced BF and I am now more defined, but do not particularly see myself “more packed”.
I notice I do not sweat too much during my workouts; and the following day I don’t feel particularly sore, just lightly. I once read after a good, productive workout you SHOULD feel sore, but not trashed. My question is: Am I lifting too light? Should I always go to failure on each and every set?
I'm in your age group and the thing I changed up that made a difference for me was lifting heavy and going all out on reps.
The secret ? It’s no secret. Eat healthy. Drink water, workout.
1) eating right : salads, lean chicken, whole grains. Fruits, veggies.
2) Workout : Run, pushups, squats, pull-ups, consistently . Hit the gym. Bench, dips, squats, dead lift, pull-ups, rows, military press. Decline sit-ups, planks.
3) Drink water - the HELL with supplements. Do NOT consume chips, cereal, or snacks.
4- most important - stay consistent. Don’t give up.
Preach brother ❤. Absolutely concise and truly valuable!
I have an aesthetic body I just don’t know how to maintain it, I don’t want to get bigger or lose what I’ve built
Lol...how did you get it? Just do that
@@markcrisp07I have a godly like shape, but... I don't know what to do.. and my waist is kinda slim.... but the workout I don't know
It’s all in your diet
This is a PREMIUM content for free. Thankyou man.
Yes. I 100% agree with you that cardio, strength training and diet is the secret to build an aesthetic physique. Great video anyway.👌👍
okay, after 4-5 months with very bad habits I'm back on the horse again. 4 weeks now and I have been doing gymnastics monday, push wednesday, legs thursday and pull saturday, plus cutting sugar hard and getting a little more protein. Almost back at full strength already and now I am looking towards creatine for supliment.. I have never tried it before
The quickest way to building muscle (imho) in 40 years of training various modalities including Furey's excellent combat conditioning, kettle bells, heavy weights, light dumbells is - high intensity training twice a week. Search for the Colorado Experiment and there's a great routine. I'm doing about 10 v intense sets including some negative only, per session. If, and its a big if, you can go from one exercise to the next with no rest it's v good for your heart and lungs too. Im prob the biggest ive ever been at age 56, just been back to a gym for just over a year. I now have to work at getting the lard off...
This is going to start trending
And take shilajit
Bro didn’t even mention legs which makes up literally half of your body. True aesthetics begins from having beautiful legs.
Right lol legs are key why have a nice top and a below average lower body
@@coyomedia1310 thats golden lol
He should have mentioned the glutes, which is just as important for aesthetics. Calves are too, but people usually wear pants even if they don't wear a bulky shirt.
Realistically, a man has to focus a little bit on glutes and calves, and just do a variation of squats and of deadlifts, and the legs will take care of themselves.
@@evilherojoseph Basically yep. I do like to occasionally focus on hip extenders and gluteus medius with some exercises like side leg raises, good stretching, clam shells, elevated hip/leg thrusts simply because it really helps keep things in balance and get rid of lower back pain. It's a muscle group often overlooked but not something you want to completely neglect even if you don't need to bulk it up, just keep it strong and inline.
Otherwise I'm just doing squats, deadlifts, and weighted lunges on leg days.
Legs and cardio. Nobody likes a muscular dude who gasses out quick, they're gonna wonder wtf is wrong with u
Aswagandha may lead to more bile production and vomittings so use in small amounts
hi, i just wached your glass skin video a while back and have had great results thx to u so i was wondering if you could do a hair care video on how to get flowing thick hair.
The best form of cardio that no one talks about is jumping rope. Burns a ton of cals while also being low impact/easy to recover from.
I'll jump rope first thing out of bed in the morning for 20-30 min 6x per week. It's never had a negative impact on my lifting later in the day or my CNS recovery from lifting.
Since it's full body, I've found it to be very complimentary to lifting. Both with total circulation and it being muscle sparing. Haven't found it to be catabolic/cortisol inducing at all.
Jumping rope and the elliptical machine. Both are great and won’t hurt your knees 🤜🤛
@@mauropedrosa7317 Jump rope can hurt your knees pretty bad, if you have Chondromalacia Patellae - CMP.
Jump rope, walking at an incline, and the stairmaster are low impact cardio staples
@selimsworld - Max incline walking not holding on is great and definitely underrated. Doing 3mph at 15% for 30 min burns a TON of cals.
My issue with the Stairmaster is that people hold on and hunch over. I never see anyone standing tall and doing it hands-free. A lot of people do this with incline walking too holding onto the top which defeats the purpose. LOL
You're a beast bro:
- for having the motivation to hop out of bed and do something hard
- 20 to 30 minutes of jump rope is insane to me. I'm dead after 2 minutes.
Idrk why i watched this , i'm a girl , but this was very interesting , paying for everyone to get their dream aesthetic physique .
I know why you watched it.
You can still do this too? Physical fitness is for everyone.
@@cernugaming don't be like that
I can relate to rest day.. I rest everyday watching RUclips like this and hope I can achieve aesthetic body in my dreams😂
addition to working out and eating a healthy diet, you should also focus on developing good posture and a confident demeanor. These are two important qualities of the Greek soldier aesthetic.
Ashwagandha is known too promote levels of anhedonia and depression whilst subjects taper off. Due to that key detail, I would rather people build up a dose over a lengthy period of time.
nice video. you got alot of the best tips and exercises ina short vidd
No mention of legs? why? They are not important?
thanks im a greek god now
Lmao
For upper chest just do incline bench first and some incline flyes additionally.
Ive always had great results with following bodybuilding protocols from the pre steroid era. Simpler times with a focus on overall health rather than just muscle size
Creatine and ashwaghanda are two things that absolutely don't work for me - but there are better alternatives. Theanine in place of ashwaghanda and glycine, Tongkat Ali, and various minerals to replace creatine. There is a massive number of available and excellent supplements on the market - some will work for you, some will not. There are always substitutes. Btw, it will help if you have lots of quality protein and yes, fat!!
Yeah,i dont like creatine either,been working out for over 10 years,and every time i try creatine I remember why i dont like it,first thing it bloates the f outta me(not in a good way) the intramuscular water retention is ridiculous,oh...and in my case it causes hair loss.I dont think these are good trade offs for a little bit of energy an extra cup of coffee/tea can give me.I also tried tonkat...nothing...i have to try another brand ,must've been bunk...i read only people who dont produce adequate test seem to get efects from it.I think sleep,less stress,and a balanced lifestyle(the usuals) will make a bigger difference than any pill will.I've experimented with a huge variety of supplements over the years and came to the conclusion that 90% of them are way underdosed to be efective,and the 10% work to some degree provided you have a solid foundation.But yeah..tea is harmless tho :)
I went to the gym for 2 years consistently, only recently discovered I wasn’t eating enough so that maybe a key factor on what I’m about to say, in that 2 years, although I got a lot stronger my body didn’t actually take change ( could be a case of body dysmorphia) meaning the 2 year difference I looked the EXACT same, how would resting the muscle/ rest days work for someone who has an extremely heavy manual labour job, in recent times I’ve been eating 2.7-3k Kcal of clean foods, but that is to lose a bit of weight, any answers to if it’s possible to build muscle by going to the gym and not giving the muscles enough time to rest due to my job?
think of muscles as a mountain, when you do heavy lifts you destroy that muscle and it needs to rebuild from the ground up. Over a rest period of 2-3 days it will be back to full stronger than ever. If you don't rest, you continually break down a muscle that hasn't rebuilt and thus little to no progress. Unless you are on gear, you need 2 days Minimum of rest generally 3 until you hit the same muscle again if you are training to complete muscle failure.
@@joshbedker4972 So, its near impossible, considering i put my muscles through the wars everyday at work🤣
Well, 2 years consistently to the gym give you nothing if you didn't do it correctly, so this is the first question.
I am a full time business owner that work 18 hours a day 7 days a week, literally less for the rest time than yours, but I am making progress both strength, appearance.
As mentioned in the video, I'm making progress with progressive overload, add up more weights/reps/etc.
If your job and lifestyle needs 2.7-3k Kcal for daily, you've to break it down.
The 2nd question, do you have enough protein? Try to age 1g per Kg body weight, increase slowly up to 2g per Kg bodyweight.
That way, it’s really possible to build muscle by going to the gym and not giving the muscles enough time to rest due to the job, IF WE DO IT CORRECTLY.
@@Herbaltum I get what you’re saying, and I don’t know what I was doing incorrectly this time round 2.7-3k Kcals 200g protein per day, people say rest you muscles, rest days are needed, yet with my job and going gym, I have a total of 8 hours (sleeping) to repair, if I’m not sleeping I have something heavy to lift 😂
@@Herbaltum also, in the gym I wasn’t doing anything incorrectly, my form was correct, Plenty of TUT, progressively going heavier, don’t get me wrong I got a hell of a lot stronger! But visually? No progress what so ever
Should do a video on eating healthy
i love that men are looking to look like a Spartan soldier and purely for the male gaze. instead of "spot me on the bench bro" it's "can u come stand over me and protect me" and that's so rad
Let me teach you a real life hack : Come to greece and become a soldier . Now the body of a greek soldier is literslly you
Can a foreign man join the hellenic army?
❤❤I will forever clap for others until its my turn🎉🎉
The most important first step is to pick the right parents, ones with wide shoulders and narrow hips, who aren't fat and have high metabolic rates and high natural levels of testosterone, and pretty faces. If you like hairy chests and beards, include that on the pick list too. A bit of lean muscular look and vascularity helps as well. Helps if they have enough income to cook high protein quality meals for you, and won't let you eat a lot of junk food. Now, talk them into a gym membership for you, and spend your free time there, starting when your testosterone starts to kick in. In just a few years, you should have an esthetic body, and maybe a pregnant girl friend too. (If you drink, don't park; accidents cause people).
No need to fixate on a super narrow waist. Many Greek statues have thicker waists in proportion to chests than the modern aesthetic. And some would be considered as having "skipped leg day" Check out the Riace Bronzes for examples of the Classical period aesthetic.
step 1: get depression
step 2: get a gym membership
step 3: get as strong and big as possible
step 4: neglect all the muscles except the ones that you need for an aesthetic body
Done
I highly recommend chest flys too for chest work outs
The FROG CRUNCH is the best abs exercise in addition to one arm farmers carries. Try them and you'll thank me!
Thank you, this is awesome
top notch content
Bro make an in depth video on cardio and conditioning exercises and diet please
Great video! One of the best I've ever seen. Well done.
Honestly working out 1 time per week full body is better then nothing. And that amount of rest will get you stronger. I prefere 2 times per week. More then that I just get fatigued.
Hindu pushups!
Good, slow form
Start with 25, break set and reps as you like
Add 5 more reps every 5 days or 7 days, never stop 😁 Want physique? You gotta try this!
The anthropologist in me dies a little inside whenever I see people describe this as a "greek-soldier body". This is not a greek soldier body, this is a modern day human being body. No, Greeks, even soldiers, were not doing great workouts, macros or anything. They just kind of ate the mediterranean diets, and lifted their weaponry. Honestly, you would be stunned just how fit your body can become with some greek styled armor and spears and just swinging that and fighting for hours on end. Really, the Greek soldier body was just an average looking man, that you would see today, with no major things highlighted on their body and being toned. That is all.
Sorry rant over but I hate that people think 300 is what greek soldiers looked like lol
On top of weight training I do jiu jitsu, would that count as cardio or should I still do additional cardio on top of that?
Dancing is my Cardio and SPort 🤩
Forget cardio/jogging ! It takes you 20-30 minutes to run 3 miles. Take 20-30 minutes and do 100 yard dashes with anywhere from 2-5 minutes rest in between. It will burn just as much fat and increase your testosterone which will help your muscle recovery from your workout. Real cardio is going for a half mile jog then do supersets at the gym for the next hour. 1-2 minutes push exercise, 1-2 minutes legs, 1-2 minutes pull exercises. Wash, rinse, repeat for an hour straight.
good video but seriously in my opinion, you dont need to train seperate your neck or forearm muscle. These muscles are both involved in many pull exercises when you train your back for example. Just focus on some main compound exercises to build your strength and progressive overloads is the key
Depends on age.
After around 50 sarcopenia is real.
The muscles in your forearms don't respond without isolation exercises.
Question, in what order do i need to consume the supplements? creatine or ashwagandha which goes first is it before or after workout?
I love all of them..... It's perfect n same as I train everyday... Thnk u so much.... Bruhhh
Thanks bro! I’m 52 and been building muscle for the past 5 years. Ready for my first cut. Not going to lie? Is scary
But after watching this im confident
How can you rest when working out 5 times a week?
Functional callisthenics, natural body movements will grow new muscle fibres and look like a beast
you don't grow new muscle fibers, they just get thicker
I want to have a bodybuilder physique.
Press behind neck, is more effective than just a front press.
Cant wait to try the vacuum all throughout the day. 😎 just abandoned the weights and am hitting boxing and will begin calisthinetics. 😢😅 will see what happens lol. Already have muscles so guess its gonna look awesome in a few months
Can you share those Ashwaganda studies? I just read a study that said it did nothing, so I'm curious. I do feel better when I take it but I'm not sure if that's just a placebo affect.
Can a woman apply those to her routine too?
All my life i struggled with fat loss, and i specifically say fat, because there were times my weight was ideal for my height, but i could still see all the fat my body was storing, at that time i used to lose weight only by diets, no exercise, so you can imagine that it didn't look good as people say you'll after you lose some weight.
Anyways, i finally started to workout and gain muscles, my body stores fat, but i also gain muscles very easily, so i'm starting to program my changes to achieve an aesthetic body "female version", i want to see how muscular my body can get as a natural of course, while still keeping my curves.
Nope can’t use this. Exercise, having a good diet, occasionally playing sports or doing cardio, and getting enough sleep only works for boys. NO GIRLS ALLOWED LADY. 😂
I sent a photo to a gal online and she commented first on my biceps. All those chin ups have paid off for me.
Hmm...I've just opened these honey bagels!
Ashwagandha is the King for Muscle Building 💪🌿✨
thanks bro!
Bro skips leg day
Ikr, I've been doing push pull leg only for 6 months already shown a great definition on the leg, thats where u will get your power in fighting, hiking, sprinting etc2. Don't ever skip leg day, it is the most valuable asset of a Greek soldier as they walk dozens of miles with weight back in those days.
Just do squats lunges calf, that's all you need for leg. The rest is bullshit
Skip legs and train neck 3x per week, got it
I think i got the upper hand cause i love cardio,in fact i do so many cardio everyday
Magnifique, excellent video, thank you. Only have to say that sugar is essential food for humans, brown traditional sugar, not the one you find in industrial products (poison).
Thank you for sharing! Greetings and be safe. 🙋🏾♂️
Wow you mentioned ashwagandha indian wrestlers use this 🎉
What is with food ? What should I eat calories wise ? And protein ? Because i don’t want to get to bulky
you say slim waist but by looking at greek statues nearly all gave wide waists?
Most people watching this probably don’t have the genetics it takes to reach that body no matter what they do
How to take ashwaganda and when to take it? I bought some of those but don’t know how to add on my diet .
If you do only weight/bodyweight training your body won't look special. However if you mix different kind of sports which are VERY different you ll have a unique physique
I count my calories rounded by the 50s, i dont say i ate 122 cal i call it 150 or 102 cal is 100 cal, just have 0g of added sugar in ur life, consume 100-200g protein per day, you will 100% get lean and retain muscle, a life hack is milk, u can meal replace with milk, add protein powder and cinnamon keep it low cal just try to get full then u hit the sauna that entire meal drops right outta ur body in an hour of jopping in and out of sauna, i do brutal labor for 13hr shifts so i dont need a treadmill but cardio is 100% required if u dont labor
Great video very informative
