Typically, the science behind science-based workouts are related to the workout, but Ryan isn’t typical, which is why I subscribed to his channel almost immediately.
I started with his 20 rep sets. Made a huge improvement for my arms. Last week I changed it up by making all my set drop sets of 20 reps (or as close as I could get). I'll let you know how it worked when I can move my arms again. I expect that will be some time next month.
@@MAGAMAN Same. I always fell into the trap of “high reps are for endurance, not growth”. I still do some lower rep range work, but I mostly aim for right around 20 reps ever since discovering this channel.
Seriously, all your advice; the mind/muscle connection, changing grip, changing angles, slowing things down. Has made a real difference. At 56, I'm in the best shape I've ever been. And appreciate the straight forward approach + the added dick, shit and stripper jokes. If you can't have a laugh at the same time, what's the fuckin point.
You tryna grow even faster? Take more time in between sets. 2.5 - 5 min. Scientifically causes more muscle growth because it's been shown that volume is more important than the pump.
Hello Ryan. As a medically-science-minded dude myself (i.e. practice medicine for the Army) I would love more science-based videos. It's not just great for incorporating into my workouts but this type of content can also be a tremendous help to some of the patients I see in getting the results they want with evidence-based exercise. Thanks again man!
What a great video. No long intro with muscle diagrams, no overly long story or unnecessary chit-chat just straight-to-the-jugular content. I really liked it.
Honestly, it's the extra reps PAST failure that I consistently see in your videos. Reminds me every time that I can push myself harder than I ever thought.
@@rileyfreeman7122 Bruh, failure is defined in a couple different ways. Jeff Cavalier from AthleanX would define failure in one way as breakdown of proper form. You should probably know that since you are on here trying to correct people. That's the definition I'm using as well. Then you move into rest pause, or forced reps, or myo reps or other things. You can't just have a simple definition of failure like what you said. You must define the type of failure you are referring to: failure of form? So then you do cheap reps or rest pause? Or failure where you simply can't do another full range of motion rep? And then you begin partial reps or rest pause? You should know these things. Dr Mike from Renaissance Periodization uses myo reps once you reach "failure". There is a whole other world here to explore past whatever a person's definition of "failure" is. Or let's say you reach a definition of failure that means you can no longer do 1 second concentric and 3 seconds eccentric, so you simply just try to squeeze out 1 or 2 reps more with sloppy 1 second up and 1 second down? Or you can't do another full range of motion rep and instead of partial reps or rest pause, you incorporate an old Arnold favorite of drop sets? It's a wonderful world my friend. As long as your tendons can handle it, and you know what you are trying to accomplish with your muscles, there are so many options.
Now I know why in 35 years of training I have struggled to add those extra couple of inches to my biceps. I had been used to doing 2 x exercises for biceps with reps of either 12,10,8,6,6 or 3 x 10. I just tried this today for the first time and can barely type! 3 x 30 reps (to failure) on incline EZ cable (90 reps)- 10 x reps on alternate dumbell curls going from 5kg,7.5kg,10kg, 12.5kg, 15kg and finally 17.5kg and then back down again (105 reps) then the 3 x barbell sets x 10 reps x 3 (90 reps) - So 260 reps (to failure) versus my normal 84 reps. Thanks, Ryan for murdering me. I have found the right trainer. Give yourself a gold star.
Bought your 4 week program and did the first day. It was completely ridiculous, I have never been in that much pain! I felt like I had the flu: fever, shaking, almost puking! And it was just arms!! I had to have my wife help me take my shirt off!! I'm legitimately scared for the next workout! Totally worth 20 bucks, you are the man!!
I just watched it. Looks very painfull - never had guts to try it. But I'm starter (after 20 years of only couch sitting) - light traning gives me plenty of gains. I will be back for it when my progress will slow down.
It's a good burn sure. But anything will burn if you do 100 reps in a couple of minutes. I did the whole program and I will incorporate some things from it to my work out.
I did you 30 day garage workout challenge. Best 20 bucks I ever spent. I committed to it and I loved it. Some exercises I had to use 10 lb dumbbells and still struggled. It was awesome. I recommend anyone to do this. Just be careful with your lower back on the poor man wheelies and the extreme sissy squats. F....d me up. Thanks Ryan
54, just had hip replacement surgery 2 weeks ago... ready to get after it and grow after 32 years of apathy. Thanks for being the catalyst to get me off the sidelines.
Dude. I will be checking out your program. I have been working out 5 days a week (in my garage) for almost 6 months now and when i started listening to you, i immediately knew i could try harder. When i did, i saw results immediately. Thats just from what you share here for free. Cant wait.
I lost it when he said he wanted to physically assault his teacher. I could relate yo it at multiple levels for multiple subjects taught by my teachers!
More science based training guides please - How does the position of the planets affect hypertrophy? How does the world being flat affect my squatting technique?
Quick. Simple. Funny. Awesome. I'm a 52 year old truck driver. Quick and simple without extending the video by showing every rep and every set. Perfect.
I’ll try these tomorrow Ryan thanks for all your info , I tried your ones for rear delts , the last one with the bar behind me in particular really worked , cheers
I've seen this videos since 3 days and i see he's making short powerfull videos instead of long with a lot of blah blah blah. I'm now convinced about this tips. I gonna show this to a lot of friends. Gr. From 🇳🇱
Found this channel by chance. Scrolling along until a headline caught my attention. I took the bait and clicked, and boy, I'm glad I did. Someone who is not only knowledgeable in physical exercises, but someone who gets straight to the point and not waste your time. Preaches the real stuff in an easy to understand way that a dummy like me can comprehend. And he's got jokes to boot!
Love your content. This workout killed me For chest I am able to push alot more weight on my chest but can't because my arms wear out before failure. Any tips for my arms so I could lift heavier chest
Hi Ryan, I have a question. First off I am left hand dominant, and when doing Biceps I exhaust my right side well before the left. I always try to keep the sets,reps the same side to side. But I do notice the right grows bigger than the left or at least a different shape anyway (which makes sense if tearing it up more but right is just bigger not stronger than left side). Is there anything you would suggest to "fix" this? I love the videos, keep them coming please!
Hey ryan ive been following your videos and learning from them for awhile. Are you a natural lifter? Not sure if you address this previously. Appreciate an answer Thank you for great instructions
Hey Ryan love your videos! Recently injured my chest a couple months ago and now it seems like my body's falling apart and I'm growing a vagina. Wondering if you have any advice for people coming back after an injury and what they should steer from and what they should be doing to come back from it. Thanks for your time you spend making these videos brother. Appreciate it.
Well after doing the garage program for the last 3 weeks and going into the 4th week, truer words were never spoken, "it will kick your ass!!!!" Kicked mine and still kicking it.
Gyms are closed here and I don’t have much equipment, just skip rope and and band, hope you make few videos on exercise with bands, thanks for this video
Some get adequate biceps work from the assorted chin-ups and pull downs, seated and/ or bent over rows, plus just a few sets of curls, but some need more. Better to err on one set too few than 3 sets too many and being inadequately recovered, IMO….
Awesome content! I wish I can workout to burn out! I can’t do it without getting Rhabdo! I still workout but have to be careful to not over do it. Any suggestions anyone? Anyone familiar with Rhabdomyolitis?
Best scientific proof on building muscle I’ve ever heard. And that’s exactly why I’m subbed to this channel. Hard work and muscle connection has never failed and if add no BS , no excuses for a ass kicking workout. Well, you’re always going to grow
Love all the humor and the comments are always a good laugh too, but I would like to ask a serious question here though. The reverse grip curls, how do you go avoiding elbow injury? Since turning 40 its like one injury after another and countless hours at physio. They said guaranteed way to get tennis elbow, reverse grip curls.
His humor is more swole every video, right along with his biceps. Well done, sir!
Hahaha oh man, that was clever 👍
Come for the Di-phallus, stay for the hypertrophy
Best comment and mustache by far.
This guy cracks me up 🤣
All of you are turbo gay.

@@survivor5095 ok
The slowing down part definitely made ot happen for me. Having done that I also got a better mind muscle connection and a better workout

There are no reps past failure…. Failure means failure to do anymore reps.

Best weight lifting program out there! Great value based on the quality and price.
Love your content.
This workout killed me
For chest I am able to push alot more weight on my chest but can't because my arms wear out before failure.
Any tips for my arms so I could lift heavier chest
I am so impressed with your videos give me inspiration.
Do you think the overhead cable curl is a good bicep workout?
Make same video for all muscle groups. This was insane 🔥
I have been saving this videos for the past 5 months since gyms have been closed in the UK! Need all the help I can help! April 12th 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
The how and the why are no where near as practical as what the hell you should be doing....GOLDEN!!!
Thank you for focussing on the science behind training. I really benefited from it and without a doubt many others as well.
Solid Ryan. Like your take in science based routine. This is one of my favorites.
I tried all the other training programs and got stronger but looked just the same and grew nothing. changed to ryans approach now i am growing.

What about wide grip and narrow grip curls? Any good?
Running the rack is a great bicep workout, one of my favourites. Good call.
How many sets did you do running the rack?
We want more science based training programmes
What cable system are you using?
"He had us in the first half, not gonna lie!"
Great video with the execution in performance, science and humor
Ryan, is it better to push each set and workout to failure, or just to pre determined rep goals?

Brilliant educational video. Thank you
I haven't seen you use a machine yet like leg extension or chest fly. Can you get a good workout using these type of machines?
Hi, what do you think about Ar7 training?
Great advice thank you bro
Mate your arms are amazing, how long have you been training, seriously your arms are awesome.
Nice video as always but how much sets per exercise?
till you die lol
Is this a do at the gym plan or can it be done at home also?
What do you think about drop sets? I'm talking till the muscle is on fire drop sets
subscribing just for the humor... the exercise advice is just bonus material.
How may I do reverse grip curls without the inevitable & exquisitely painful elbow tendonitis?
