#1 Reason Why You're NOT Building Muscle

- Alright, today we're going over what I think is the number 1 reason that holds people back from building muscle and making serious gains... hint, it's you're fault.
**NEW FULL GYM PROGRAM: bit.ly/fullgymprogram
30 DAY GARAGE PROGRAM: bit.ly/3igtiIF
Now I know people will argue about this and say it's your diet or the supplements you're not taking but the most prevalent reason is people are simply not working out hard enough. I know that's a tough pill to swallow but look around the gym and see if anyone is even breaking a sweat, even at the most hardcore gyms people are so focused on filming themselves for IG they don't put much thought into what they are doing. This should help you change that.
I also go over exactly what it means to push yourself to failure on every set.

This dude has changed my life. I’m 35 years old have MS and if I didn’t stumble across Ryan I’d still be sitting on my couch feeling sorry for myself. If I can work out 5 days a week with intensity anyone can! Thanks for doing what you do Ryan, congrats on the million!!
Amazing bro. You're an absolute stud.
Holy shit, he reads comments!
Nice bro 🙏🏽👍🏽
I'm a 65 yr old female, after shoulder surgery, after leg surgery, and some others. You're telling the truth, his programs do change lives. He made me work out, and pretty much rejuvenated my old carcass to the point where I look better than some people not even half my age.
I do 6 days a wk 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
I’m 35 and new to building muscle.
My fiancé left me 3 days after Xmas and won’t let me see my children.
So working out is saving me mentally
Your videos are not only inspiring but I don’t feel as alone. So thank you dude you have no idea how much your helping
Sorry that happened to you
In my country girls like yours getting drilled in the skull, most of them getting killed, when they are acting like that
Keep going bro, I hope you get to see your kids soon. Just know they miss you too.
Hope things get better for you! Stay in that gym! Its therapy for me
Stay strong brother !!!! Things do get better trust me.
A couple years ago I did myself the biggest favor ever.... I stopped counting reps and go to failure. My goal is to aim for 20 reps just like he mentioned, but I don't count because your mind fails before your body does. If your mind says do 20, then you'll end up being tired at 20. When you could actually do 27. Just count completely random numbers, 35, 12, 18, 91,... That way you never know how many reps you're actually doing. Go to failure.
Do you time your sets? I've always done heavier weight and lower reps that lasted maybe 15 - 20 seconds. Now I'm focusing on sets that last 45 - 50 seconds and go to failure, and I just count reps for the sake of it. But, I just started adopting the lighter weight & more sets method and going to failure on every set.
@@shainester each rep is probably about 2 seconds, I don't time sets, because every set is a different number of reps at failure. But I do time the time between sets and I keep that at about 30 seconds.
That’s not a bad idea although how do you track your progress? Also I thought that for hypertrophy the optimal rep range is 8-12 and 3 or 4 sets of the heaviest possible weight you could manage to do that with. 20 reps and up would tell me that I’m not lifting heavy enough. Unless I’m training for conditioning or endurance of course in which case the more reps the better.
@@benhall2235 everyone is built different, so you may have to experiment. But this does definitely work for me. But you have to go to true failure not just counting a number and stopping. Short breaks, 4 to 5 sets. Good form is key, you don't get that with heavy weights, you cheat. Muscle "time under tension" is critical. With heavy weights stressing the muscle only lasts a couple seconds. Every once in a while I do throw in a heavy day about once every 2 weeks. I know people that all they have to do is look at weights and they can grow. They piss me off. So you have to try some things, find out what's best for you. Test a system for at least two to three months, not just a week or two, that is too short.
@@johnmatejcik2379 cool thanks man I’ll give it a go. I have recently started to do lighter weights and concentrate on the mind/muscle link and good form but have only been doing it for a couple of weeks so far. I’ll keep at it.
I’m 23 with depression and anxiety as well as body dysmorphia. I used to self harm and had thoughts about making attempts on my life almost daily. With that cake addiction to alcohol and drugs and an overall disgust for myself. Working out saved my life. I finally have something to look forward to that gives me immediate satisfaction. It also taught me discipline in other parts of my life like college. Before I started working out I failed out of college twice. Now, I’m proud to say I am now in aviation maintenance and have all As. Thank you Ryan for always making me laugh and showing the science behind every muscle group! You saved me!
Lets go, keep at it brother. Dont let the dopamine win, persistance and discipline will prevail
Good job bro...proud of you
Great testimony brother keep up the hard work and enjoy the benefits.
Doing well keep going man. From a 39 year old who trains hard and diets well, but has still suffered with depression and anxiety all my life, check out stoicism on RUclips. Play it in the background to your workouts. Changed my life! The only thing that's worked (as well as diet and training)
9 months have passed. Give us an update soldier!
Also, the only place to self harm is in the GYM!
“This is therapy because we’re pretty fucked up”.
I read this as he said it 😂
So true.
Lol hard facts are best facts.
When you threw the one mill subs on the floor I busted out laughing hahahahha. Every other youtuber frames it, hangs it, and you just chucked it on the ground. fuckin love it.
He still filmed it sooooo
@@Zoltar1811 yeah filmed it to show its not important...10 seconds of the video. Hes happy about it, but its not the big point.
Its like saying "yeah, i got there, but im not done."
@@Zoltar1811 still a million(pun intended) times better than other youtubers unboxing.
Zoltar you obviously missed the joke. It was his "unboxing video".
#1 reason? You're natty.
After 2 years and 2 months as a ‘natty’ i starting also to hit a wall… i want to do more weight, but more weight gives pain un the joints, but i do not want to use sh*t
@@arabidimaandwhateveryup
@@arabidimaandwhatever then use machines lol
Underrated comment
That's what happens after two years. You will put on 2-3 lbs a year from here on out. Welcome to weight lifting. Takes 5 years for most to build a decent physique.
Straight to the point, everyone dances around what you need but my guy know exactly what’s up 💪
It’s crazy my dude is past a million. I remember like a year and a half ago he was just reach 100k. The real has prospered for sure
Dude - I didn’t even realize he hit a mill already! I also began following him around 100k, right before the “pandemic”
I joined when he was starting out. Followed 4 different trainers at the time. Now i just follow Ryan.
I started following him just before the pandemic started and he’s just blown up
I followed him he had 92 people subscribed 🤯
Ryan actually speaks truth 🤣
Just go watch the other dudes with fake plates and whatnot, dude uses 15s
Honestly Ryan's short, straight to the point videos are a game changer. In an era where everyone vlogs 25 min videos and has super long intros, Ryan's videos are just straight up cathartic. And he mixes in hilarious raunchy/dry humor in them which makes me crack up. I salute you brother, you're an absolute legend. 🙏🏽
Facts!!!
that's why i liked this guy he is so diff from others, the dude doesn't talk shit he is the real deal
Couldn’t of said it better myself
I don't get how anyone whose videos are 65% fart jokes can keep being described as "to the point".
@@brooke510 dude its all about the jokes!
I wish every explanatory video on RUclips should be done in this dude style. On point. No bs. Keep it up.
Ryan, thanks for this video. I am by NOOOO means a muscle machine or even close. I’m 46 and I’ve had seven surgeries for Crohn’s Disease, issues with good absorption, whatever. My point is that I work out a LOT, but not sure you’d be able to tell. The thing that blew me away about this video is when you said if you look around the gym, people don’t seem to be sweating or trying that hard. Yes!!! A tiny bit of background-whenever my son or daughter went with me to our community gym, they would always tell me they’re embarrassed because at the END of my sets, I’m growling or I yell a little or loud exhale, etc. they would insist that it’s unnecessary. After watching you explain this, I understand what’s going on. Despite my actual physique, I try to push myself into an intense burn/failure. Most of the people I watch aren’t doing that. They have a preselected number of reps in mind, and when they hit that, they’re done. Thanks so much for posting. I subscribed to your channel!
Congrats on the million, well deserved! In all my years training, increasing intensity and not stopping till failure is the number 1 biggest aid to breaking through plateau's. I've learnt a lot and continue to through your videos.
This was a completely necessary video. Not a lot of people realize the struggle to grow comes from hard work.
Or you can possibly take enhancements like Ryan 👍
@@sinistercharger he didnt take any enhancement
@@arishemghoul9571 he is on testosterone but that does negate the hard work required to reach his physique👌🏼
He is on peds but he still has to do the workouts. Just important to note you may not get the same results so important to be realistic. It is good advice though
Two kids, and a happy life removed from 25, and I have been in the worst shape of my life for several years. Distended my left elbow beyond retraction when I was tripped at work, and caught all 320lbs of me on the left. Spent two years drinking bourbon, while teaching myself how to cook, meal plan & eat better. Never been a beer guy. Never been a cake or sweets guy. I was/am a bit still made of meat, bread and cheese.
Went back to work after two surgeries on the arm, and torn up the meniscus in my knee. Off work again. No drinking this time. Physical therapy, and started gathering gym supplies.
And watching your stuff.
I'm notoriously slow to change habits.
44 y.o. now, and I'm actually okay with the dietary adjustment. I have a little house with a little garage and a little Florida room, and I just try to get my time in.
Best part is I work as a bus driver.
I keep dbs on the bus for reps in my downtime;)
Just fighting to stay consistent;)
Thank you for all you do.
Even my girls think you're funny.
Thanks for sharing Joe you've inspired me
Sir, this is one of my most favorite ones so far.. so on point.. " Muscle Failure " in every thing.. Abb- solutlly
Good and simple explanation when it comes to the failure training to gain muscle. As a med.trainer im responsible for my clients and one of the things I always want to know is " is the client ready to reach their goals". Meaning, the stress this way of training will give you're body can ruin your gains if you are not in balance. If you have a stressful job or you sleep is off (you already pointed out food) than you're already in a stressful position. Pushing yourself to failure for a longer time can than overload your system causing some serious issues. You are very experienced and you will know this stuff but I just wanted to point this out for those who watch this video. Thank you for this video, it still motivated me to pick my ass up and push it !!! Greetings from the Netherlands !
I have never pushed myself this hard ever since I found Ryan. And I love it. I have grown so much. Never a dull workout day ever. Thanks Ryan for stepping out into the world. Will try to keep supporting you how ever I can.
Brother same here. Ryan has helped me become a beast
Are you two on steroids, because Ryan’s training style is more suited for people who are already built and are on gear. Most of the people watching his videos don’t need 10 variations of biceps curls to see gains.
True but his old videos where better, know its too much of talking
@@thefirmamentalist9922 It's not 10 variations, it's pick the one you connect to the most today and go to failure again and again and again and...you get it.
@@thefirmamentalist9922 he is just providing variety. but he has a point with intensity and mind muscle connection. majority of folks in the gym have no clue what they are doing. how many people you see there 4 times a month and they do 2 sets of bench with horrible form and leave? or they put too much weight and fail to have good form and never grow? he preaches good form and connection. also high repetitions. he is tired of people complaining they arent seeing results. he gives the tough love people need to hear. most people arent working out intense enough to make gains.
1000% agree - I think a lot of people think they are working hard but if you notice in the gym, there are not a lot of people who are not sweating and or breathing hard. To me that's a telltale sign if you're putting in work.
Thank you for telling me you're sore all the time. I'm constantly sore from working out, and I never hear anybody else say this. It was beginning to get me discouraged. Hearing you say this makes me want to not give in.
You've completely changed how I work out and I can't thank you enough. I just completed your 30 day gym program earlier this evening and it was truly incredible; every lift was as much of a mental challenge as it was physical. Congratulations on the 1 million milestone as well, if our paths ever cross, beer's on me.
And would you say you‘ve made progress/gains?
Absolutely! I never thought I can push myself to this level. Both programs are amazing, worth every cent! I can tell going back to my routine with relatively higher weight I do not feel the mind-muscle connection I am getting with lower weight and slow controlled movements.
I love this guy. It’s the tough love people need to reach their goals.
I have been waiting for someone like this. He's clear, straightforward and motivating. Time to get after it.
Omg I was here when the pandemic started and this man is the reason I even started caring about my physique. You were around like 100k or less that's insane how far you've came. God bless you and your progress. 🙏🏽
This man is changing my life. I was around 355 and now I’m 280. Still a lot of work to do, but would not be where I I’m at if he didn’t start making videos. Probably the greatest deal for workout material. Can’t wait for the next program to come out. Congratulations on 1 million thank you.
nice work! Keep going!
2 months since you posted your comment, hope the progress has continued and you're hitting the new year with a running start!!
No, you're changing your life. He's helping, but you're the one taking action.
Strong work! Keep going, we're all going to make it brah.
Pre work out coffee, opened up RUclips hoping for some inspiration. Didn’t disappoint, thank you! Let’s go, time to bring the pain!
Love your message and delivery!!!! Great and truthful/accurate information. Thank you. 👍
Congrats on the 1 mil subs! Well deserved. I’ve learned so much from this channel. So much so, that I use these tips and techniques in my practice as a physical therapist. I’m better because of it. Thank you
This is now the only channel I'm subscribed to for this type of content , amazing and straight to point 👍
Dude you are the best! You're not only correct about your bodybuilding advice, but you're funny as hell. You make it all worthwhile at the end of the day.
Thank you!! I knew I was doing something wrong! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!! Empty The Tank!!❤ every time
Agree 100% I didn’t start growing right until I lowered the weight, did reps until I couldn’t lift my arms (or whatever muscle) and looked for that burn that’s so bad I couldnt focus on anything other than the pain. I grew more in 1 year training like this than I did in my 1st 3 years
Im still in my first year and I have slight growth so far, I will try this method too.
Are supposed to do it every set or the last set only?
Congrats on the 1M subs! Your channel is the first time I heard about "mind muscle connection" and knowing that and your 30 day garage gym program I have been noticing some results for the first time since I've been a beginner I feel sore after a workout... I guess I know now that I wasn't going intense enough before.
Yessir absolutely deserves it and then some
First time I’ve heard of the connection as well. At least the first time it’s emphasized so much. Love it. Changed the way I look at it to me.
Yoooo hero is here❤️
Crazy to think one of the three greatest motorcycle channels I watch also follows this great guy!
check out the huberman podcast and ben greenfield podcast! their dialogue is very similar to what is said here by ryan 👍🏽 i think youd dig it
I’m happy he got his plaque from RUclips! Changed my gains results like crazy! Funny as hell! Keep the great content coming!
This is the first video I see from you a day after I had the best workout I've ever had in my life. And I realized it's because of what you talk about here. Excellent video! Thank you for sharing with us 🙏🏽
So important, "I'm going to see if I can hurt myself." This is key. It's pushing yourself beyond limits most will not go to or past. Excellent reality here. I'm not going for bigger muscles because I lift to compete in powerlifting competitions but the same principles apply. Bingo! Great video.
Embracing the fear helps too. Or acknowledging you have fear. You know you entered the right territory mentally when you feel scared AF about the next set.
You guys must be youngsters with no day jobs. You have to go to work the next day. You can't cripple yourself in the gym.
@@foxybrown2 going all out on every set is bad advice ,even if you are young and on steroids, .....over training is the problem and the main reason trainers don't grow.
Good video, I worked out halfassed on and off for years because I tried to conserve energy for the weekend, meeting friends and partying. Stayed pretty much the same in size. Recently because of some healthissues I stopped drinking. Started working out more seriously and brought my intensity way up, now I'm seeing alot of growth. I repeat 2 mantras in my head everytime I'm becoming complacent. If I'm at home trying to find excuses for resting "Just keep showing up" over and over again and if I'm at the gym "Become a monster".
The bit where you said you consider regular sets as warm up sets just unlocked something in my mind. Thank you.
This is very helpful,thank you. I just found your stuff and have been binge watching your vids and getting loads of helpful info. I expect to see tons of growth and progress in my future,thank you!
"For most of us, this is therapy"
I always tell everyone, workouts are my therapy sessions!
Totally agree. Workouts keeps me calm.
Yep, and less judgement. Seems totally normal to have therapy sessions daily!
Me too.
hell yeah 💪🏽
Honestly though. If I didn’t work out or lost the ability to, I don’t even know if I’d still be here
I train so hard that I feel like I could throw up, if I’m not sweating that means I need to shorten the rest between reps. Ryan you are such an amazing person in the fitness world. I love your no nonsense approach.
The comments section is filled with positive comments and encouragement, not just giving thanks for your content but also encouraging others not to give up 💯💪
I'll be going through your Playlists and saving the video's to an exercise specific Playlist.
Already subscribed 💯
Cheers Ryan I’m doing really well growing thanks to your methods plus I really enjoy watching your vids when I’m not training I feel so much more motivated 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻💪🏼
THANK YOU, RYAN….for this TRUTH. I have always thought that there was something wrong with me because I sleep a lot and because I’m sore ALL the time. And that whole “working-out-gives-you-energy” myth has always haunted me when I’m face-planted on my bed after each workout. But Ryan has just given me the motivation to keep going. I LOVE this video and I LOVE this guy.
100% agree with the therapy. I have 2 young kids (one with special needs), no family help, and a demanding job. I go to the gym from 5-6:30am six days a week while everyone is still sleeping. At least 3 of those days are brutal AF. It’s the only time I get for myself. I’ve been a gym bro for over 20 years but committed last year to getting in the best shape of my life by my 40th bday. Lost almost 30lbs of fat and kept most of my muscle. I owe a big part of that to this channel and a few others for keeping me motivated.
Man. At 43, I’ve never been depressed a day in my life. I always woke up happy and reset no matter what. 4 months ago… I had a huge thing happen and it felt like I was losing everything. I figured if I was hurting on the inside - I should hurt on the outside as well.
I started working out. Been making gains but watching this video I realize I’ve been fooling myself and being a little b. Thank you for your encouragement. Im about to sign up for your program and go full S&M on myself. Can’t thank you enough. Ready to cry at work from the pain of kicking my ass instead of life kicking it for me.
Cheers
I like this dude no nonsense and a good sense of humor.following now
Ryan, I’ve been with a trainer for 12 weeks with great results. Your method is identical to hers but you’ve reassured me that it’s ok to be sore all the time and push everything to failure. You are down to earth, honest and refreshing. Thanks.
As a beginner you shouldn't push to failure all the time, your body needs time to adapt, and even if your muscle recover fast enough, your joints and ligaments will not.
It's okay to push to failure, but if you do throw in a deload week every now and then, I promise you, ur gains will go through the roof.
What I do is, I split my training into 5 week cycles, where I push myself harder and harder with each week.
Week one, I leave 2-3 reps in my tank and week four, I go all out to failure and add dropsets and isometrics.
Week 5 then is a deload week, where I workout with 10 percent less weight.
@@csih2119 Yeah if you're been training 3 months you should be no where near training to failure yet. Don't even worry about training to failure honestly. Worry about adding weight every week. If you hit 135 on the bench for 8 then next week do 140 for 8. You training to failure that early on is honestly just a waste, you'll get better results with just standard progressive overload.
@@carltaylor2975 yes, so true. Maybe even longer than 3 montha
@@carltaylor2975 people tend to overcomplicate everything way too hard, as a beginner you only need to train consistently with some sort of progression, enough calories and sleep. If you are advanced you can play with your training, by adding dropsets.... But a beginners body will grow just as fine without them
Thanks Ryan for your posts on here .
I’m 46 recovering from a back injury and just started training using your videos and have all ready starting to see results especially when I go to failure mode on all exercises apart from back at the moment. I’m going to give your 30 day workout plan a try 💪
I don’t have a clue most of the time what I’m doing but I am one that pushes myself hard.
Use deep heat on back before training 👍
Building strength and muscle is a long term project, 5 years is not much. Secret of success is to exercise regularly for long time. But training always to failure is too hard for most people, training becomes a burden and they leave it. And this is even worse option than to train with bad attitude, too lightly.
.
I must say "30 day workout plan" doesn't sound a serious thing at all. It is not about what you do for 30 days but what you do for 3000 days, or the rest of your life.
I'm 48, can do almost 50 clean push ups, many muscle ups etc. so I'm quite strong for my age. I do train hard and last reps of my sets are always hard. But I am constantly cautious not to make my sets so hard training will become a burden, not a joy.
You can't train always harder. In the long run you must find a sustainable hard level and if that really becomes too easy then add resistance. So you must not push yourself too hard. Quite often professionals (on gear) give unrealistic and bad advice to ordinary people.
30-day garage workout. Arm day. I literally had a freak out moment leaving the gym. I thought if I even flexed my arms, either the skin or the muscle was going to tear in half. I've never been so pumped in my life.
Ryan,
Man you are music to my ears. I love the down to earth no bullshit truth.
You are helping with my return to the weight room ( after 3 shoulder recos, one hip job, torn biceps tendon and oh… a kidney transplant)
So thanks dude, appreciate it.
From down under NZ.
Stay strong!
I'm 70 yrs old and never worked out in my life.And all I got is a couple of dumbbells and pushups.But everything changed when I started sweating.It ain't easy building muscle at 70 but I'm sweating and I'm growing.Thanks man.Lets get after it !
legend!! hope to keep at it up until that age n im 25. bless i friend!
Yeah im 90 yrs old and same thing i didn't saw results until i start sweating. Gotta keep them muscles sore all the time.
if your name is ryan humiston and your anywhere from lets say 20-infinity the answer to this videos title is hrt or trt.
anything else is technique to properly use the hrt/trt....
Damn Leonard, get it
You can build muscle at any age. They went to old folks homes and people in their 90s were growing muscle
Ryan, your nonchalant acceptance of that 1 million sub award is the reason I respect you so much!
Won something? Who cares? Back to work!
Thats not fair to say for everyone. Whats wrong with appreciating your accomplishments and making a little noise about it with the ones you love? We are humans not robots.
The algorithm and luck got me here. The no bull straight to the point no excuses style is gold. 10/10
Hey Ryan! I’ve been suffering depression and anxiety since I lost my vision!! Going out to our Walmart or restaurant! I get bad anxiety! Love watching your videos .! By the way.! I’m 55!
At 60 yrs old I'm still pushing this concept and you're right sore all the fuckin time but it's worth it
62 yrs young and still pushing. Recovery has become the Achilles.
61 & sore all the time & yes it's worth it.
Pushing 60, 1 year in now working out. Dropped 10 waist sizes and getting some muscle growth but intensive training seems to consume me, had to back off.
I'm 55 and I like to push myself to failure. The first set of every exercise is the one I use to see if I can do one more rep than the last time. After that I always go to failure regardless. I'll even do drop sets just to get in more reps and go to failure again. My heart feels like it's going to jump out of my chest, especially doing curls
Agree 100% with Ryan's statement that most of the time training is therapy because we are all a little fucked up!
Thanks for doing what you do, Ryan!
Agreed
I mean, the reward is not looking like a bitch and it also releases endorphine
Lol yes
Yes! 👏🏽👏🏽😂
I agree too. I get to the gymn and no one matters than me and what I came there for. My music on and let's kick some muscles. Sweat and heavy breathing and repeat. The mind is free. Stress is at its lowest.
Just got out of the hospital after a 2 week stay for appendix issues.
Due to the pain and horrible hospital food as well as the inibility to move around very much i lost 9 lbs of lean muscle which took me 90 days of working my ass off in the gym to put on prior to being hospitalized. It might not sound like much but im 35, 6'4" and I was up to 197lbs after walking around at 180 or less for most of my life.
I was extremely discouraged but today i went back to the gym for my day 1 of the come back and im going to do it even better this time, correct all the mistakes i was making before and come out bigger and stronger physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Thank you for your channel!
I'm 47 and this has been one of the most informative and inspiring videos ever. Ty 🙏🙏
i drip sweat every time i go to the gym, I go hard AF, and people look at me like I got the plague especially with covid going on, any sweat and people think they will catch something
Ryan has helped me become a beast. Whenever I feel like being lazy in the gym, I just think of Ryan and picture him sweating and in pain Lol 😂
For real. I imagine him making fun of my current physique
Kinda gay af
@@MoreBuffMoreMuff I was about to comment this.
Wtf Ola
Mate you have really changed my life ...like really though. Ya probably hear this all the time but no 1 means it more than me i guarantee. 15 years ago i was a bit of an athlete. I played every sport under the sun. I was in my early 20s i weighed 85kg and stood 178cm tall. With 0 fat. I looked good and knew it. I hurt my back pretty bad at work in 2008 and every thing stopped. 😢 i couldnt compete, i couldnt even sit down. I gave up on the thing i could still do out of frustration and depression after being told id never do the things i love again ,tjis all happened1 mouth after my first born son came along and i had big plans to be the dad my dad wanted to be but couldnt due to MS. I stumbled across your vids and thought🤔 i can do arm stuff 🤷♂️ so i dusted off a few bits of equipment and went after it. I just wanted to feel that feeling ya get when ya proud of what you have just done that winning feeling. Well i got that the 1st workout i done and shit got better as i changed my diet and added a few more bits of equipment and then i started noticing growth and power...and that burn again. Im 41 and thought for years now that that side of my life was over but on 4 weeks I've gone from 65kg to 73kg and put on 3 cm on my biceps. I just feel confident and sore but mostly confident now. Thanks mate I like myself again and thats a huge thing for me and has made every area of my life better. Especially being a dad and feeling like a man. Thank you so much mate keep doing what you do and soon enough youll be at 2 million👍🏼
I love these videos, i have learnt so much. Going to failure hurts like fudge, but i love it and im seeing small changes 💪
I was squeezing out a few more reps of dips well past failure when my right shoulder suddenly gave out. Got benched for almost two months and damn near lost all my progress.
It all sounds easy in theory but everyone is different and though I love the motivation, you didn't take that factor into account. Your body can only take so much punishment before it says 'fvck you bruv' and gives up.
Yep, I have a lower ab muscle that is threatening me currently. I am concerned that it is the start of a hernia. I had to back off of my pushup routine for a few days in hopes that it heals up. If I had kept going, I am fairly certain something would have torn and then I would be sidelined for months. I have also accumulated some serious injuries in my 40 years of extreme sports. Torn shoulder labrum, fractured femur, the list goes on. There are just days where I have to be careful.
Facts. Know your physical actual limits. Been using this methodology for six months now, and my bench hasn’t moved up in six months because I keep getting stuck out of the gym for weeks.
@@ethanmaldonado6574 happened with me and deadlifts, no matter how light or heavy I lifted with good form I always felt a twinge in my lower back so have just stopped doing them completely. Other muscle groups I can absolutely blast but always have to be some wheat cautious with the big joints
Yep, tore my calf muscle by Training every day to the limit. Also hurt lower back so Bad with rowing, that after a lumbago I couldn’t walk for 2 days (yep I peed in the shower). Than I called the doctor and got 4 injections in the back. One year later I did the exact same thing, although this time I called the doc right away. I’m not a fast learner but at 32 years old I’m a little bit more careful now.
@@benr970 Screw deadlifts..they are overrated..and no matter how popular they are these days or what any gym bro says..They wont pack on slabs of muscle...They arent the best for building a huge back at all. I know as I was a powerlifter and switched to bodybuilding..gave up deadlifting, my backs never looked better.

Love the attitude bro and the advise. Jusf about everything in life you have to push yourself
Thanks for the wake-up-call. I needed it.
I am glad Ryan did this video. I have been doing his program over and over the same way he outlined it. Before this video I thought maybe I was getting carried away or should drop weight when I could not complete a set. This was helpful. My legs are always sore from leg day to leg day, love it!
Congrats on 1mil man
My workouts suck because of you
Thanks man!
Congrats! Nice! OMG your humor is amazing love it! I watch you everyday!
thanks Ryan for always going straight to the point and not wasting my time. you a legend 💪
There's exercise, working out, and then there's training. Most people at the gym I go to are exercising.
I finished your 30 day full day gym and it was great! I did see a lot of progress and tried a bunch of new exercises.
I will be completing it again and see if I can improve with heavier weight.
Thanks again for the awesome videos. ❤️
I must say that your videos are very entertaining and funny. After watching this video I reevaluated my workout routine. In saying that I upped my sets by one and did a few sets to failure and let me tell you. I had the best workout in years. I feel so pumped and jacked up. The feeling that I've been missing. I know if I continue on this path I will see results.
Ffs pal you crack me up, your no bs approach is a breath of fresh air, funny with obvious knowledge that I'm already putting into practice....
Congrats on your gold plaque 👍 well deserved for the quality content you put out....
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧💪
I’ve been training in the gym from 17-25 now but with some pretty big gaps off. It was only when I started going with my friend a couple years ago and realised how little I actually was pushing myself. Suddenly I was doing more reps on higher weights just because I had that added bit of encouragement/motivation from my friend being with me. That changed my view on working out and now go in with the goal of reaaally improving and pushing myself while still being somewhat sensible
I love the grimace that Ryan demonstrates for us on each exercise. Once I see that in my garage gym mirror...I keep going, knowing pain and then gain is coming!
Thanks for this very straight forward video. From tomorrow, we’re hitting them weights until I can’t move anymore. I’ll be back in 6 months
Just found your channel thanks for the info and the laughs, been hearing a lot about going to failure recently, this just confirmed to go for it 💪🏼
But not on every set....just do that on last set of every exercise, go to failure, then do 2 more drop sets to failure on that last set and watch. This way you don't overtrain.
Bro if you aren't building muscle you aren't taking enough Tren
I've started doing dropsets on my last sets and it's been tough, but it has never felt better. I feel proud just getting through the workout and the gains feel more and more like a bonus than the main goal.
Whats dropsets?
Ryan. I have always been a gym rat of course off and on raising my kids. 6 years ago I had 7 bypass surgery. My doctor said I should be dead if it wasn’t for working out. I Would not be here. I’ve never been fat but heavier sometimes than I should be. I have always still worked out even though the doctors said it probably wasn’t a good idea. I’m 62 now and after watching your videos I am showing gains like I have never seen. If I die at the gym it’s almost as good as dying during sex. Now my grandson is my training partner. I am killing him. He keeps telling me coach never works us this hard. I just smile and tell him to quit crying. Thanks for the great and entertaining videos.
Solid channel. I appreciate you raw and real approach. Great content.
“let’s get serious Eddie” - best part of Pumping Iron
“You should do it because it gives you energy” 🤣 that had me dying as most of my friends are like “you train in the gym so hard you should have more energy than all of us” smh… I’m thinking do one workout with me; just ONE and tell me how that energy formula works in your head.
Lmaoooo I relate it so much.
Sooooo true! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Yeah unfortunately people don’t know how to work out that hard enough. So when you do it, that think you just have better “energy” or who knows.
yeah they say they feel energized after they work out. My answer is, im gonna go home, eat and take a long nap. im wiped.
This has always been me. I’ve always wondered what the fuck people talk about “more energy” and what not. I’m usually wiped out and in need of a nap after training!
Liked and subscribed absolutely fucking love your video man looking forward to watching more this made my day going to go wreck it now but trying to hurt my self with a workout!
This was absolutely amazing! 😄 It was hilarious and straight to the point and factual. The best time I’ve spent on RUclips in a long time. 😆 New subscriber here!
Totally agree. Obviously you know what you’re doing. Being middle-aged and training each body part every 4 to 5 days, I’m in the best shape I ever was in my life. Although it took many years of me working out just start seeing gains. How to get my form down intensity but I’m doing it.
Just a heads up on the ''work to failure'' concept. I completely agree you should push yourself HARD when you are at the gym. If you walk away without a sweat that day didnt count. But i would also heavily advice proper rest, as in longer rest periods that makes you recover completely. If you push your muscles every second day 365 days a year you will grow but your muscles also never fully heal, nor will you push yourself as hard. Its like putting half a tank of gas in a car and expect it to go for as many miles as a fully loaded car, or plug 2 pistons and expect no difference. The potential is there but you dont have enough fuel or mechanical endurance to apply the same force.
I see ALOT of videos about working out and pushing the limit, but few of them enforce rest properly. Those who get into a good routine are likely to fail since they just end up hitting a wall of 0 energy.
I found Ryan’s channel recently! I’m so thankful I did!! I have clogged arteries and 2 A/fib! I was a big time runner ! Did all races! Then I got arthritis in my hip! At age of 47 I lost my optic nerve!! All I’m left with is! My prefer!! I started lifting everyday! Increasing my pushups! But maybe I’m struggling putting on muscle because !! Maybe I’m not eating enough or putting enough protein in!! I have bought protein powder trying to help my protein intake!! I really am thankful for your advice!! Thank you Ryan
I’ve always told others, hard work never killed anyone. In my mind I’m thinking, yeah, but damn near it.
First I’ve seen of your posts. I like it, no bs and truthful
When I found this intensity, I was consistently miserable pretty much every day, for months at a time. I was literally always hating moving. Stairs, my literal worst enemy.
Needed this video!
Ryan, every time I watch one of your videos, all I want to do is go slay myself! So I do! Appreciate your knowledge and mindset
Awesome content, and love the quality of your camera, what are you using? looks incredible
2:23 Him putting it on the ground not caring about the button just shows that he doesn't care about the subs but simply cares about helping the people seeking for help on RUclips. Thank you Ryan for teaching how to get them gains!
I mean what does he want to do in this moment? Magically make it stick to the wall? :)
@@ggdk2865 I mean he could of easily edited himself mounting it but didn't care to.
thats what he wants you to think or why include it at all....?
Started the 'Garage' program, and on the first week gave myself mild rabdo ... spoke to the doc, drank some water, it's all sweet (mamma didn't raise no coward) but safe to say, the shit's pretty great. 11/10 would recommend. 🙌
this dude not only spits beautiful facts but he makes us laugh our socks of in the process. Thank you Ryan. You are a giant for all of us!
My complements to you Sir. You have a great gift. You explain things very well. ThAnkyou very much.
