      @@RhysSaunders I started out recomping of course. Lifting weights, never did cardio. Focused on high protein and lifting. My recomp/diet lasted about 8-9 months. I lost a chunk of weight just by cutting the junk out of my diet…it wasn’t until I started actually logging my calories that I got it all off though. I got down to 7 percent body fat this way. Towards the end though I was maintaining muscle at best. Very little gains on a calorie defecit with no body fat to use for fuel. Since the diet ended I still log calories but I’ve been eating somewhere around what I think is maintenance/small surplus. The last 6 months is when I really started putting on size everywhere. I did a body scan a week ago and I’m still 7 percent but you can actually tell I workout now. Never did any protein powders or supplements.
      My 3 best tips
      1. Eat 5 meals a day to keep your body in a state of protein synthesis constantly and log your calories
      2. Stay consistent in your workout plan
      3. Don’t give up. It takes time.

You need to dig down to see was it a blind study, who paid for it or conflict of interests, how big was the sample size, was it a realistic grouping of people and therefore can it's findings be applied to normal individuals, etc. It's what the other studies say that provides the context.

      Everyone is sub-optimized because there's no such thing as the perfectly optimal diet and exercise plan. Humans are messy and even our crappy kitchen/bathroom scales are not that accurate - neither are the macro lists on food packaging. You also don't know what your hormones are doing or what your micronutrient levels really are, how good your sleep is, how stressed you actually are, etc.
      Just do your best and don't stress about trying to be perfect, because that's impossible without some sort of future nanobot bio-reporting tech that measures absolutely everything in your system in real time. Also, while you think you're failing by easing up on your routine or diet now and then, that might actually be what's optimal!

    Excellent info man. I feel like when I search online this very issue, most are thinking someone is at 10% or less body fat. I’m pushing 30% and want to cut fat (it’s all in my torso). I used to lift a lot but that was 7 years ago and I stepped in the gym for the first time today. This video is extremely encouraging as I’m very confident I can cut my body fat % while building muscle as well as definition since cutting fat will effectively make definition more noticeable.

  • @RedgraveStrength
    @RedgraveStrength 4 года назад +2270

    Key Points I found in this video:
    1:09 It's possible to build muscle without a large caloric surplus and even without any surplus at all.
    1:50 New lifters have the best chance for body recomposition because they are the most primed for building muscle that they'll ever be. Also, calories can be pulled from fat to fuel muscle building.
    2:06 Overweight individuals can eat in a calorie deficit and still have enough energy stores to fuel the muscle-building process.
    2:15 Detrained athletes that have built decent levels of muscle before get a recomposition effect due to muscle memory.
    2:30 Thanos using the Infinity Stones is very similar to using anabolic hormones so this is awesome!
    3:05 If you haven't been training very hard or seriously even though you've been in the gym for years you probably fall into this category. I have a client that did this for almost 2 years and she's made more progress with me in a couple of months than she ever did by herself so this is definitely true!
    4:08 Recomposition probably won't happen much in advanced trainees who already have their training, diet, and supplementation fully optimized.
    4:30 STEP #1: Training is the main driver for body recomposition no matter who you are. Also, OVER 9,000! Like this, if you understood that reference lol.
    5:03 Focus on progressive overload and perform 10-20 sets per body part per week with appropriate intensities.
    5:16 STEP #2: Decide on a primary goal!
    5:27 If you're leaner 8-12% (male) or 18-22% (female) your primary goal should be focusing on building muscle mass. On the flip side, if you're not so lean, 15-20+% for men and 25-30% as a woman your primary goal should be fat loss.
    5:49 STEP #3: Find maintenance calories and adjust based on your primary goals. Set up your maintenance calories and add 5-25% calorie surplus for muscle growth. If you're more predisposed to gaining body fat, err on the side of 5%, if you're always relatively lean you can be more aggressive on the higher side at a 25% calorie surplus.
    6:10 If you're trying to lose fat, enter a slight deficit in the range of 10-20%. The more fat you're trying to lose, the bigger the deficit here.
    6:23 STEP #4: Set up macros for your goals. Protein comes first. 1.2 grams per lb of lbm if you have a higher body fat %. 1.6 grams per lb of lbm if you're on the leaner side.
    6:50 Jeff is jacked as fuck so he needs 1.5 grams per lb of lbm!
    7:05 protein has a bunch of benefits that assist in body composition other than muscle growth.
    7:20 fat intake should be set at no lower than 20% of your total calories. Carbs will fill out the rest of your macronutrients.
    7:29 STEP #5: Optimize your plan and pay attention to the details! As you get more advanced, the little details do add up and absolutely matter!
    7:47 SLEEP MORE! Also, those kiwi pillows are totally Jeff 😂
    8:10 The better your sleep is the more fat you'll lose in comparison to lean body mass. This is insane and explains so much in our sleep-deprived society! Bottom line: sleep with kiwi pillows!
    8:33 peri-workout nutrition matters. Your pre, intra, and post-workout nutrition and supplements will add some benefits as well. Focus on protein powder, creatine, and caffeine first.
    9:55 Jeff plugs his book and he should because it's a fantastic resource.

    Very helpful. I'm obese but have been weightlifting for about 6 months now and it's been a struggle. I've tried to focus on learning the basics but it's been difficult and I wouldn't say that I've been training as hard as I would like. I have been questioning if I have already wasted the window where it's supposedly easy to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time but your video suggests the answer is no by a lot. And that makes me feel good because it still may take me a while to ramp up to where I need to be. Meanwhile though my upper body has most of my body fat and my legs are already quite toned and muscular and strong because they have been supporting my extra mass all this time. So this gives me a lot of insight on how to approach my plans.

      @DantesInferno96 Год назад +10

      Hey man just an advice - Make sure you keep your protein intake between 100-120grams. Below that you won't get the benefits. I was obese at once and have lost most of the weight since then but as my protein intake was only about 50grams, I didn't develop much muscle in 2 years of weightlifting.
      Your protein intake is going to matter a whole lot more than any workout.

      @DantesInferno96 Год назад +6

      @@Erydanus keep it between 100-150 grams. Lower than that you won't see the benefits. Higher than that, I think you'll have to bulk up. These bodybuilder guys tend to do bulk more than cut because they start small and skinny unlike us folks who are obese and big at first. So their path is different from ours. It's not possible/advisable to bulk up when you're obese so just cut efficiently, when you're down to a healthy weight, keep cutting till you drop down to like 10-12% body fat. You'll have decent muscle definition even if you don't have a lot of strength by then. Then you can start bulking up again. It might take 2-3 years but the end result - which is loving how you look in the mirror is absolutely worth it. Be patient and consistent. I wish you the best.

I have dropped a substantial amount of weight, and though my bench and squats have gone down, all the rest like curls, triceps pull downs, and really anything I do with barbells has gone up...not to mention a huge amount of increase in sit ups, crunches, captain's chair, etc. I know from past experience that the strength curve will swing back and will be on the increase when I hit my weight and level out.

    I just purchased both the book and the essentials bundle from Jeff's website. I am fairly optimistic about beginning this fitness journey. I was a wrestler and XC runner in High School and at age 29, I was roughly 205 lbs (down from 240 lbs) and competing in 5K races and winning medals in my age group. After the shut down in 2020, I met my now wife, and I stopped training since there were no more in person races. Since then, I have climbed back up to 300 lbs. I've even faced some health issues that require medication as a result. I've started walking and exercising for about an hour every other day for a few weeks now which includes a light full body routine, but the essentials full-body 3 days per week seems to be a routine I will tolerate for a while.

    The subjects who lost muscle from sleep deprivation 1. didn't have the energy for quality training sessions in order to build and maintain muscle and 2. Sleep deprivation causes stress on the body and when the body is stressed it produces the stress hormone cortisol which dissolves muscle tissue. Therefore, 7-8 hours of quality deep sleep per night matters a lot if you want to lose body fat, build or maintain muscle tissue and generally be healthy.

      So yes, you will gain muscle if you are hitting the gym often. If you get more protein you will most likely do it faster, but as a beginner the results will still be decent.

      Burning Ice I'm pretty sure you have to lose some weight first, and/or cut the protein intake down to 0.7-1g per bodyweight, so if you weigh more you should strive for the lower end of the spectrum until you get more lean (then eventually Jeff's recommendations for protein intake).

    I really appreciate Jeff's videos. Overall heath and fitness can be so daunting,, but he presents the information very clearly. Even with using all the facts, figure, graphs and added research, I feel like I'm able to take in the information and apply even a fraction of what I learned right after the video. Also, the biggest thing with fitness videos that I have seen is that there's really no facts to back up what people are explaining. The "why" and "how" are very important to me. Lastly, Jeff doesn't make the audience feel intimidated or stupid. At some points, he is learning right along with us and not afraid to point out unfamiliar topics. Thanks Jeff. Much appreciated.

    Hey guys, when I started working out, my two main mistakes were lack of sleep and not eating enough (not being in a caloric surplus). I always thought I was eating enough and was disappointed because my weight stagnated. Then I got my very first diet plan created on Nextlevel diet iirc... I realised that my previous food intake was way below my needs, although I thought I'm good. At the beginning it was hard to eat 3000 kcal in a day, but I got used to it. I started noticing real gains and it felt amazing. I wish I'd understood the importance of diet earlier.

      Thats where your body makes all those gains happen. Really though, if you are giving your body the proper rest you will grow if you are doing a new program every 4-6weeks. This is where a lot of fitness gurus dont say is how important sleep is and how important it is to listen to your body. Good sleep is DEEP SLEEP meaning not getting disturbed sleep(waking up in the middle of the night) and usually the case is when you have disturbed sleep its due to high cortisol levels.

    here's an anecdote from a 52 year old HARD gainer. currently 5'9" 160. for several years I was working out (used to be in great shape) eating 2700 ish calories a day, I even tried T for a couple years and I got nothing but fat weight. I got lots of advise from people who claimed to "know" how to do it right; I gained nothing. I quit the juice back in December and quit working out for 6 mo. just started back a month ago, I am eating only about 1900 cal per day and not working out terribly hard but I made one change. while I was consuming about 180g of protein per day before it was clumped into bigger portions. For 30 days I have been eating 30 to 35g of protein EVERY 2 hours and it has made an enormous difference. In 30 days at 52 years old i just shed 3 lbs of fat and put on 6lbs of muscle per dexa scan. I am over the moon right now, what a huge epiphany.

    I think another note of importance for new lifters is the following: most of the the guys in the fitness industry present all those facts that promote muscle growth (sleeping well, eating balanced, consume supplements) and even though those are definitely useful, there is also a misleading, kind of hidden aspect to this. Most guys promote their supplements and their training regimes showing off physiques that are unrealistic using just those techniques. Just training super hard, every day, eating healthy will NOT get you that coveted shredded physique (unless you have some extreme rare awesome genetics, good for you!).
