hey everyone! did you catch last week's video?? :)
ruclips.net/video/_wanf8nwbuA/видео.html
thanks again for all the support during this time :)
Chubbyemu Bernard,I see you have flat feet,so do I, my question is do you wear orthopedic shoes or custom arch inserts and what's ur opinion on them since ur a doctor and all :D, tho I guess you'd have to be an orthopedic doc to know idk, its ok Im asking just Bernard not doctor bernard:D.
Chubbyemu your chest is too big for body
how can you tell he got flat feet? from his pic, it just look like his heel is smaller than his front foot lol
You said strength comes back very quickly but by your own admission what you lost wasn't strength it was leverages, you were probably of similar strength at 135 squat as you were at 500 squat.
damn you can lift alot of weight, i know how hard it is
Medical student, power lifter and successful RUclipsr... dang that’s a pretty nice resume for a young guy.
Don’t forget the engineering degree
He's also a toxicologist.
he was also a well-respected gamer

A MAN LOST 60 LBS. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS BODY
where’s the pin
Stephen Wanhella stupid it’s hom
waa
damn, didn't realize you were such a thicc boi
Congo this reply is to tell you that you got 458 like
This is one us to say 550 like a
I am your 639th like
We only see his face in the new videos so most people don’t know about it
a man ate 70 kilograms of testosterone in 3.2 minutes, this is what happened to his earlobes.
"the reason why the weight is so heavy... Is because of gravity"
Pack it up boys.
Never would have guessed you were six foot XD
and i would have never guessed your IQ is over 0 XD
Dude! Don't take it the wrong way man XD. I'm a fan just so you know and you're progress is crazy. Currently a student with probably the biggest exams of my life (uni entrance) next month. Had to stop training as it was sapping too much time. Any advice? I've been doing bodyweight exercises at home where l have time and my weight has stayed relatively constant whereas last exam season l gain about 10 pounds in a month.
if you don't work a job, plan out your meals for each day, no snacks and manage time. you can study and make gains. no electronics while studying, print everything out on paper. if you study 8 hours / day, 1-2 days before the test take some time off and let the material settle in your mind. good luck on the tests!
+stuff I don't know if he's actually 6ft. He's too big to be weighing only 163 pounds there. I was 160 pounds at 6ft when I was 15 and I was way thinner. I looked like a marathon runner. Didn't have any size at all, didn't even lift.
Chubbyemu Haahaaaahaaaaaaaa
Honestly, I don't understand why I enjoy these videos so much. Great progress, and keep it up only 2 more weeks!
💪
The time you put in these videos is fucking incredible. From music, to clips, to amazing topics and formatting it to flow from beginning to end. Im not sure how long you spend on these videos, but there insane.
Casey Neistat Level.
thanks :)
Bernard: My son is 6'2" and three years ago when he was in his third year of University ( age 20/21 ), he tried powerlifting for a year because his good friend was competing, so he gave it a try. He also got so that he looked like a chubby version of his usual self but we knew why it was that way. He could do a 500 lbs. Squat, 400 lbs. in Bench press and 460 lbs. Powerlifting (because he has a very long back and his arms are shorter in comparison).
So in comparison to what you achieved, I am really very impressed with your accomplishments - you were very strong!. Those weights you were doing were very impressive! Plus to top it all off, your brain is tip top too! As one proud mother, tell your mom that I am proud of you as well! Haha!
Wholesome comment
This is why you should never mess with beer belly farm boys.
I know really. You would be surprised at how strong the farm house wives are as well. The slightly overweight to overweight wife ain't a weakling.
I got inspired to lose weight watching these videos.
I can gladly say that I've lost 10kgs because of your change. thank you man, you've really inspired me to get active with my life again.
I've been dieting for 4 moths. Started at 94 kgs and now I am at 81 kgs. I've been training as a "bodybuilder" for 8 years now (I am almost 24 years old). At the beginning of the diet I started taking creatine so I could stay strong during the diet (never took creatine before) and it worked! I could keep up with the weight for a really long time. But two weeks ago I noticed my strength went down significally (40%) and started to feel really bad about myself.
What I am trying to say is that your videos are really informative, help me understand whats going on and keep me motivated. Now I know this is temporary and I will get my strength back once I go back to maintenance calories.
My plan for now is to diet down to 78 kg and then eat at maintenance calories so I stabilize at 80 kg.
Greetings from Argentina.
saludos! yes you are very weak the longer you go into a cut, it's normal. strength gains when they come back feel great, but be careful to not go too far and get injured.
Never really comment, but thanks for making these videos man, give real perspective that others don't, keep it up
you gave me insipration to lose 5% bf, 3 inches off my waist, and 9 pounds in a month :). I now have 14.5% bf and I didn't lose any muscle mass :D
Don't Read My Profile Picture how'd you do it??
+Adrian Garcia I ate fruit for lunch, with a granola bar and a v8 or something, usually didn't eat breakfast like always, and controlled my dinner serving size. I didn't really exercise, but I did go on a run twice. I usually didn't eat anything fried, and I ate a lot of meats for dinner.
+OneBadHombre Now I weigh 140. I've been working out, and my body has more of a inverted triangle shape now. I'd say I'm in shape, I'm now bulking to 160 over a couple of months. btw, diets are literally starving yourself to the point that your body has to use its fat reserves, are you gonna say bulking is overeating next? no shit lol imgur(dot)com(slash)a(slash)xhIT6
@@BaNzAiXBaNaNa you're a moron. That's not starving yourself. Many people skip breakfast, even people into fitness. Dude ate lunch, and dinner. Controlled his portions, didn't starve himself. Maybe your fat ass just eats 8 meals a day and you want to justify that?
@@BaNzAiXBaNaNa "kickstarts your metabiolim". nonsense.
man you were a beast, holy crap. I do find it interesting how the muscle density never reverts after being built, why returning lifters get good initial gains.
Is this the guy who is now a doctor?
Hey man, thanks for uploading these. I've been feeling like a failure in many aspects for a good while now and some of the things you say and the apparent progress you've made has been really helpful. Keep it up dude.
i love that you kept showing up even when you felt like poopy. thank you.
Been following you since day 1. I've gone through the same process as you and now I'm just trying to balance my new work, social and foodie life while cutting. Thanks for the vids and inspiration~
Alex Jones at 6:34
It makes sense since his show advertised supplements such as Super Cromagnon.
Holy shit hitting 600 squat and 460 bench is really good
This man is an ABSOLUTE UNIT
Great point about the leverage, as one who is over 6' 1" my strength was only halfway decent when I was over 220 and working out hard. As I get older, I also notice strength does drop but mentally you are in a much better place because you start to focus on the most important things: blood profile, body composition, and mental energy. If you are a powerlifter and feel sluggish and have some potential problems developing with your blood profile but are strong that may not be the ideal situation to be in. I think people have to realize that like professional artists and sportsfolk, you will reach a peak between the ages of 25 - 45 and then it will become very difficult to surpass it again. You may get close to it when you are older but when you are older things such as stability, balance, decent flexibility, good strength to remain active, and solid aerobic foundation is most important as the loss to do activities of daily living is what causes the greatest mental anguish of the aged and often supports physical decline due to depression and giving up healthy habits.
I am in my 4th year of a phd doing biophysics research in cancer. Totally obsessed with your medical videos since finding them. The quality of information is fantastic :D I also lift, but not for competition. Digging your channel
This is the first time I hear about this and it makes a lot of sense. I was 220 pounds and dropped back down to 154, and I was really surprised and demotivated when my strength had diminished so much. I didn't exercise for the period I was losing weight so I could not experience the loss in strength as it happened.
5:45 dude you look fucking ripped, Im sad to hear your familly didnt back you up, but Im also happy to see you keep on keepin on regardless
Love you dude, never could figure out why I became so weak.
This is great man thanks!
love this guy man. keep up the good work bro. nice videos
I adore this guy. Awesome mind.
Yo Chubby, your coming up on 20k subs my man. Keep up the great video work and progress on your diet! :D
"Someone said I didn't know what I was talking about in my videos. This is how his skull got caved in."
Wow, would never have thought being fat could make you so strong! Love your videos and a fellow Chicagoan!
To assume all powerlifters have to be fat "thick" is a miss leading. You don't have to be it's just that what the sport requires allows the lifter to be fat. One of the best powerlifters I have seen from Dan green being the leanest and biggest. Not to mention Erick L family.
not necessarily fat thick. i said greater cross sectional area for you to apply the force. if it's all muscle, even better like in eric lilliebridge's case. but more commonly some fat will be lumped in there. sometimes in excess depending on person
all he is saying is that being thicker gives you more leverage making it easier to lift.
I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDS!!
Thank you, I've been wondering why I sometimes lose strength then get it back.
I ran across your channel 15 min ago. Just recognized the UIC rec. hope to see you there sometime, man! Subscribed 🤙
im trying to get stronger just like you man!!!
i see you to be much better now than Two or three weeks ago in terms of your mental and verbal sharpness,and i'm glad of It.I am Also excited to see what's going to be next on this channel now that your journey is almost over:any anticipation?
thanks. announcing what's next at week 16 video
Chubbyemu looking forward to it more than i usually do if you say so
Dude well done :)
thanks :)
I used to do powerlifting from my early 20s until I was 28 when I was diagnosed with two herniated discs. When I was 26 I was fat as f*ck weighting over 100 kg at the height of 178 cm. After the diagnosis my physiatrist recommended me to improve the mobility of my body and I started training calisthenics (and hitting the gym only twice per week) since I could no longer deadlift nor squat. Now almost one year later I weight only 77 kg and all my big lifts are down but I can do more than 30 pull-ups and despite not actively bench pressing I can bench 140 kg. But most importantly, I have a lot of strength with respect to my body weight and I have way more energy now than as a fat*ss. It is a strange feeling to be able to do all kinds of tricks and move the body easily around (like doing handstand push-ups or planche push-ups). I believe that having high strength with respect to body weight, having good mobility and cardiovascular fitness is the key in leading a healthy and happy life. It's also nice not having to be fed like a farm animal anymore. No more powerlifting more me.
Wow. 16 weeks have gone very fast. Thanks making videos Bernard, you help me out a lot. Could you make a video on finding purpose in life or deciding a career choice? I'm 18 and I'm uncertain about what to do in my life at this point. University? Military? Tradie?
I am surprised there aren't any other T H I C C comments. So...
T H I C C
Good video.
really love your videos that put reality to the notions of body composition, so many shit posters will juice up on roids and strip fat with chems (ghb etc) and essentially fraudulently advertise their shit supplement lines and your videos make a clear distinction between what is and is not to be expected. Also super suprised these videos have
Dude I thought you were jut a doctor this is really cool.
Hey Bernard, I'm guessing you've been busy with work! I hope all is well with you! I wanted to see your end results of your cut! Did you end up staying on Shelby's program for a few more weeks?
PS: I love box squats!!! I saw them in your last video and I can do them versus I cannot do traditional squats (for some reason). Cheers
You should make more of these!
your skin on your face has really cleared up now man! :O
How do you preserve muscle (as much possible) whilst on a cutting diet? I've been told to keep proteins high and training intensity as high as possible. For example, if you can bench 120lbs whilst bulking - aim to hit closely to that as when cutting. For cardio I'm still on the fence, some people say too much cardio can eat into muscles and that kinda ties in with calories - people say you should aim to lose 1-2 lbs per week as that will likely be fat not muscle.
Any tips or clarification on any of these points? I'm in my second year of training.
Awesome video Bernard! thanks for the info. I wondered why we lose strength when we cut mostly fat and no muscle but now it makes sense! Leveraging plays a huge role!
it definitely does! thanks!
Chubbyemu I just finished a leg workout at home and I tried those seated squats that I saw in your video. I really like them!
his whole explenation arout cross sectional area is nonsense. muscles work via tension. having a bunch of fat around the muscle isn't going to help
@@ge2719 in my experience, I disagree. It's like wearing a lifting shirt or having wraps on your knees. Those things can make a 100lbs difference.
@@wdmckee because those things are acting as a tension device, they material is literally lifting the weight not you. All that does is add extra weight to your skeleton.
If your bench limit without them is x, and you limit with them is x +100lbs then sorry but you can still only bench press x
Happy to see a new video in two weeks. You're an inspiration.
thanks!
I believe the "bloat" you get from being heavy is also what makes you stronger. The water stored in your muscles when you are bulking obviously translates to strength, rather than when you are cutting which depletes your natural stores of water/glycogen. This is why Dianabol, the steroid is a strength and bulking drug, because it makes you hold alot of water, which makes you stronger. This is also the same I believe for people who consume creatine, which fills the muscles out.
Love the vids Bernard! You should daily vlog. Also just a thought, you should have done carb cycling the results from last time were insane. Any reason he didn't put you on carb cycling?
Daniella I don't know the answer to the carb cycling question, but he doesn't vlog every day because vlogging takes time and he works, goes to the gym, and eats not that much so his resources are burned faster, means he hasn't the time and maybe not the energy to vlog daily :)
Daniella carb cycling can be intense
Good job man keep it up! =)
Putting my point at the top - I wrote so much below. I wanna believe that I'll regain my 309/236/410-level when I'm low 170s lbs 2-3 months into my new bulk after I've had that level at 210 lbs before. Is that unreasonable?
Been cutting for a long while now, with some brief recoup bulks interspersed, and I have been really bothered about my strength for a long time now. My PRs are early intermediate (309/236/410), so I know I have room to grow. The thoughts that bother me are these two: "You won't even be able to retread that ground unless you get overfat again." and "You've done a lot worse than you should've, because you could only get to intermediate numbers at high-20s%." I'm currently about 174 lbs and apparently 18% bodyfat. I've learned since I started cutting that bodyfat% measurements are all very imprecise. But I was apparently about 29% at 210 lbs. And I can see that visually. I look the best I ever have, and I'm still pretty strong on OHP and chest-supported db rows, but because of a meniscus tear, I can't squat, even 3 months later. Bodyweight, sure. But I'm holding off until 2025 to do weighted barbell squats again. I am going to try to bring back the significant amount of leg mass I've lost through isolation work, and hopefully grow the lower body bigger than ever before. I should at least get back to 68-69 kg lean mass once that's all sorted. Interestingly, I did DL 397 lbs (probably had 400 flat) 53 days into my cut, and I squatted 300 lbs 81 days in. But I guess I went from 29% to maybe 23-25% bodyfat, so the strength difference wouldn't be as big.
I'm going to lose approx. another 10 lbs. My goal is 8.7 kg of fat mass, because I estimated that by the time I've regained the lost muscle, I should still be 12% if I start from that point. I want to achieve fullness and some sense of power with visible abs. I was always fat as a kid and it would be something special to conquer. But I won't deny I'm about 9 ½ months deep into what I thought would be a 60-75 day venture.
this dude is cool as hell
More like Thiccemu
asian u melted away congrats man . HAPPY 4 u !
keep up the good work ^^
thanks :)
About 11 years ago, I was a personal trainer. I experimented a lot with diet and exercise, and eventually was able to gain 3.5 pounds of muscle per-week, until I got kind of bored with building muscle. I had tried a cycle of prohormones a couple of years prior to that, before I knew about nutrition, and gained 5 pounds a week, for 3 weeks, but it went away after the cycle.
I have never been able to gain a noticeable amount of body fat. Without working out, my body weight maintains itself at about 120 pounds. I even ate a lot of McDonalds for nearly a week every day, until I was horribly constipated, just to see if I could gain body fat. That was this year. I was not working out, but my muscles grew in mass, and appeared as if I had been working out.
Regardless of the way my body's metabolism is different than yours; you don't actually have to lose strength to cut. You don't even need to cut. You can gain muscle while losing fat.
What I just stated is not exactly simple. The meals have to be very precisely planned to go along with each of your days, and work out routine. In the mornings, and after each workout, are the two times of the day that you need to take in a high number of carbohydrate calories. Between 300 to 400 for breakfast. Make sure there is fiber in that meal, especially soluble fiber. I used to take Benefiber with a lot of meals, but I ate 3 to 4 packs of Heart Healthy Quaker Oatmeal for breakfast. This is mostly to resupply the glycogen supply in the liver, that is expended while sleeping. The fiber is to slow the digestion of the sugars down, so that the blood sugar levels do not spike too high, and so that Glucagon and Insulin do not over produce. I also recomend 1 to 2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil in the oatmeal. I always felt more mentally sharp for the day if I put that in the oatmeal.
For a non-breakfast, non-post workout, meal: keep the carbohydrate calories around 80, just enough for the insulin to release for your body to transport the nutrients where they need to go, and so that none of the calories spill over into the fat storage.
Also; at least around 300 to 400 carbohydrate calories within 20 minutes following your workout. For me, I consumed between 600 to 1,000 calories within the 20 minutes following my workout. Not all of those calories were carbohydrates. If your workout is intense enough, and SHORT enough, your body will be able to use a higher quantity of nutrients for the muscles, than at any other time throughout the day. For me, this was in the form of a nutritional smoothie, blended with ice cream, and low in soluble fiber. This is so that the nutrients can be transported to the worked muscles as soon as possible.
My weight training workouts, (which I have recently started doing again), are between 20 to 30 minutes. I work through a circuit, and take no breaks, until I run out of sets for the smaller muscle groups. Each muscle gets a break, but while some muscle groups are taking a break, another group is being worked, all in a calculated, planned, training cycle. I wouldn't eat anything for about 4 hours before the session, since the blood will mostly go into the muscles, and not as much in the gut, which makes the food sit there longer. I always throw up if I work out with food in my stomach. I will sometimes have maybe a cup of coffee a little bit before the workout, and I used to take a Tourine capsule, and an Arginine capsule, a little before I would work out. The tourine supposedly helps the muscle to more easily contract. BUT, I read that it may cause parkison's disease. I didn't see enough evidence to convince me that supplementing with it causes it, but apparently a link between the supplement and the disease may exist. Just so you know.
In order to keep gaining muscle, (until your body can maintain no more), change the weight-repetition count every two weeks.
Red Muscle (Creatine Monohydrate is most beneficial for these two):
High repetitions, ( 20-25 reps, or more), split fibers that use triglycerides as the prime nutritional source of fuel, creating Type 1 muscle.
Medium repetitions (12-15 reps), use triglycerides as well, and form Type 2a muscle fibers.
White Muscle:
Low repetitions (6-8 reps) form Type2b muscle fibers, which use Glycogen as the primary nutritional fuel source.
Very Low repetitions (1-3): I don't recommend doing this due to the damage to tendons and joints. But the white fibers will grow bigger quicker.
Negatives: I would say between 1 to 6 reps, but normally no less than 3 reps from my experience. You can really do any number of reps with negatives. A lot of people don't train with negatives regularly. Negatives cause the muscle to grow the fastest. I do these around once a month, or less. I don't do these for my legs, because I don't want to damage my knees. You need a machine to do these. The weight needs to be too heavy to actually lift for the muscle that is being trained. If I am doing bench press, then I use a Smith machine: I partially squat-lift the weight up from the side of the machine, so that I can reach the bar from the bench I have under the bar. Then, I unhook the weight, and fight against it as it slowly forces its way down to my chest. I do that about 3 times. The strategy is the same for the biceps, triceps, and back, but using different machines. I also do that for the chest using a different machine , which is less damaging. I don't isolate my deltoids for negatives, because it is too damaging. The bench press alone is too damaging on the rotator cuffs, but I do it against my own advice every once in a while. I don't recommend the negative rep bench press exercise, it was just an easy example.
I don't actually know what type of muscle results from negative repetitions. I would think Type2b, but I get a lot more of a vascular appearance in the muscles that I do that training for, which tells me that it's red meat, not white. So, I don't know. But the muscles grow the fastest from negatives.
Another thing you can do to both build strength, and lose fat, are pushups every two hours for a day, every two days. Do as many repetitions that you can possibly force out every two hours. It builds a LOT of Type 1 muscle, which uses fat as it's primary fuel source. Your strength with weights will surprisingly go up, by a lot, pretty fast. When I was doing this, I did not take in the high number of calories that I recommend for a post-workout drink, because I didn't count these as a workout. I thought of it kind of as the way the body works the legs for people that have to walk all day, except a little more than that. I just did these before anytime that I ate something, and I eat every two hours if I am doing these. (Otherwise I eat every 2 to 4 hours). My bench press was actually higher from doing this, than it was from weight training. It was a lot higher.
Anyway, I hope you find some useful information in my comment.
I think you used the wrong word. Work capacity is a good thing because it means you can do more work with the same level of fatigue and the more work you can recover from the more strength you will retain during a cut.
I am cutting right now and struggling to keep up my lifts, so I know how it feels. However, going from a 500+ squat to 135 indicates a cut gone horribly wrong, with inappropriate diet, training or both.
Basically that should never happen unless weight loss (not even just fat loss) is the sole concern and strength isn't even a longer term goal on the back burner.
Many different physiques are capable of many different things that’s what’s so interesting about being a person I think
@chubbyemu I have been losing weight for 2 and a half years. Now I only have 80 pounds left to lose out of the starting 300 pounds. Watching your videos has really helped me keep pushing. it's like having someone to go through it with me. thank you for the videos you are a giant inspiration!
at the tail end of my bulk and im just considering eating at maintenance forever and keeping my hard earned strength
5:55 kinda weird you pick Ronnie Coleman when he squatted 800 twice at a very low body fat percentage (he said he regrets not going for 4 reps).
What if you get stronger on a cut. I feel way stronger in some areas down from 260lbs to 242lbs at 6"3.5"
1:12 Holy shit is that the UIC Rec? That explains why that squat rack has seen better days
hey chunbster! I was wondering what your opinion on soylent was. (A food supplement drink)
Kind of a bad example picking Ronnie Coleman for your body building example seeing as he competed in powerlifting 😂😂😂
plus take absolutely any bodybuilder, theyre going to be strong. his point is completely base less. the difference is a powerlifter practices a few very specific lifts a lot.
Graeme Evans Well in general powerlifters are stronger. Many "bodybuilders" can get very large without ever benching more than 225 lbs, yet that is absolutely not shit in powerlifting. Ronnie Coleman was extremely strong though. Bodybuilders are still much stronger than average people who don't lift, but gaining strength really isn't the point of the sport.
@@ge2719 He isn't implying that their weak, he just says that they would be even stronger with a different physic
I said the same thing. The guy could destroy powerlifting competitions in his bodybuilding competition physique. The guy isn't normal.
@@ge2719 Actually compared to your average powerlifter/strongman, bodybuilders are weak as fuck. They don't train their CNS to lift super heavy weight for 1-3 reps. I am more muscular than many of the female powerlifters that compete at national levels, and they are stronger than me. The muscle I have, doesn't necessarily equate to overall mind to body power.
Thanks a lot for sharing, I been watching many of your videos, specifically of those with emergency room admitted cases. In fact I am big fan and feeling thankful for having you done all that. And I found it very interesting that you've been lifting weights and stuff and I think you are having quiet a rich view over the dominant psyche that youth and mainstream possess. Always enlightened by your videos and now since the topic is about cutting losing weight, I would like to know you views over "Keto-diet". Is it good? weakening/strengthening? any risks? how about for people with cancer or diabetics? Were ketones originally the fuel to our ancestors' bodies and then were replaced by sugar some time later? and well there are many more questions and knowledge to that, I just wanna make sure I won't be admitted to an emergency room someday because of that. Maybe you can point it out on one of your very informative videos. Thank you so much again. And btw you look very cute when you're chubby.
the end
I have no idea how you went about your cut if you went from a >500lb squat to a
Good for you brother. I don’t see one yet, but may be overlooking. Do you touch on the prevalence of PEDs in the BB and weightlifting worlds and how young these kids are starting to destroy themselves? God I wish someone had explained it better to me. I waited ten years and till I was 23 to take PEDs, but it was still too early, if I would have even taken them at all now. With the ease of access, I see kids at 16 to 18 using and it breaks my heart. They have no clue the nightmare they can be creating, especially with usually not enough money to taper down properly with proper post cycle drugs like HCG and Clomid. Just scary
Sick super high multiply squats brah
I could be wrong but were you also lifting in multi ply suits for squat and bench?
Also the fat is to some extent surrounding each joint adding mechanical force during compression of the joints. Same for the midsection. A big ol’ gut pressing on your thighs during the deepest part of the squat adds a lot of rebound force. Nice springy fat for big skwaats.
I would have never thought you would be into working out
Are there health risks involved with weight gain in power-lifting? Will blood pressure go up? Are heavier athletes more at risk of heart issues or diabetes?
Before i even opened the video looked at title and thought "leverages"
In regards to weightlifting, many top weightlifters don't look like bodybuilders, but they also don't look like the chunky guy you showed. Many of the top weightlifters nowadays are pretty well built. A good example would be Mattie Rogers or CJ Cummings.
I ve never seen anyone lose that much weight in 4 months. What did you change in your diet ?
Love the vids bro. You should really think about removing the chubby from the name chubbyemu. Maybe rippedemu?
Ur one of my inspirations
la disciplina lo es todo
When I was in high school (which may explain this I dont know) I lost 38 pounds from 209 down to 171 and my squat increased by roughly 30 pounds and my bench by about 25. I'm 5'8" and have always been rather thick which also might explain why I didnt lose strength while l dieting. I guess some people are different or maybe I was just in the right age range where I was only going to get stronger of I continued to lift.
How’s your squat more than your deadlift? Isn’t it the other way around usually?
Holy shit you’ve been to lances gym in Chicago IL 😂💪🏽
this dude needs a barber
I literally have no muscle. I am like a fucking stick
I am 5'8.5 and 220 pounds and when he said he didn't carry that weight well.. I know what he means by that but still thats way more than I can lift. I can barely jog a block without dying. and I wonder what was his leg press max
i was in a jungle war (not nam) there were these two bodybuilders, man the climate was punishment - a dengue epidemic killed both of them they had no reserves to fall back on - I got sick too but I was slightly overweight and I withstood the rapid weight loss that comes from dengue
Wow. Impressive
Good thing i have a unit converter beside me!
Dude you're ripped!
My goal is to get to 140 (currently 170), I'm 5 '8. Then start gaining muscle to 160 and just maintain it. I don't want to look too thick and that way if I become lazy and stop lifting weights I'm not just some fattie.
I still don't understand why thicker is stronger on squat and deadlift, fat also count in cross sectional area? can you explain is again
Do you have a video on muscle loss related to cutting?
Just can't get enough of these videos man.
from 500 to 135 or i misheard?
that seems a bit exagerated, maybe he was sick or something?
I heard it too. makes no sense. 135 is what kids do on their very first try.
Damn... I’m usually 200lbs-210lbs. I was thinking dropping to 180 wouldn’t be too hard and still get stronger lol.
