Hey Jax, I wanna know what's your opinion on religion. I'm a Buddhist, but I only use it as a guideline as to how I should live my life, and I try to learn from both other religions, and by atheists as well. Idk why, but there seems to be a lot of hate towards all religions (especially on the internet) which in a way, I can understand, but I feel like a good chunk of that hate is unnecessary. I'd love to know your opinion on this, and thank you so much for helping thousands of us improve our bodies. And don't worry, muscular, strong women is a valid religion too
I am 50yo and terribly out of shape after getting stuck in a slump from the lockdowns. There’s a sincerity to your videos that has me stirring to get something going. And the anime “angle” is both an entertaining AND refreshing lens to look through. Cheers, Sir.
"For as long as men and women have roamed the Earth, the human body has been seen as a work of art." Human physique is genuinely awesome to me. Good lean muscle, how we are meant to naturally look, there's just something about seeing the natural design of our body. Bodybuilders and Olympians are sometimes extremely impressive to me, and just makes me ponder, what are the limits of the human form?
I think you’re exactly right with the three-legged stool analogy. If you just train and sleep but don’t eat, your body doesn’t get the resources it needs to build itself. Appetite is key. I’m striving to get my nutrition in check to have more energy and a healthier life. I’m not perfect, but IMABEAST!
Very accurate! I’m currently 5’10 210lbs so I’m considered to be jacked. It truly took years. I’m 31 going on 32 and it only gets more difficult to maintain. But it’s worth always doing your research to learn new things like different methods, different foods, different herbs 🌿 etc.
I was following your Baki muscle building training routine back in 2019 and it worked wonders. The Covid weight gain has been hard to shake off,but focusing on caloric deficit for now and light training
Great video! The timing is spot on. These tips are super useful. Question for you... have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got a muscle-building meal plan from them that's worked wonders for me.
Honestly, as a trainer myself, I love your 3 legged stool of fitness and use it because it really helps people understand why all 3 are needed and not just 1 or 2.
My goal is to simply lose weight and lean out. Started at 205 down to 189 and my goal is 170. Not really following a staple routine but hopefully here soon I’ll get on one
You the Goat, Jax. Love your Vids, man. Literally watching this gave me a burst of motivation somehow, and now I'm working out- I'm trying to cut fat a bit right now. I've got a pesky coat of Fat and the appetite needed to get big gains, but I'm aiming for aesthetic and healthy. I don't want to over bulk. I want to get them abs showing, and then grow them out.
Thanks for the kind words and NICE mah dude, take your time and steadily build up you got this! Fat can be irritating but its helping to give ya energy so widdling it down doesnt need to be a rush
Lose the Fat slowly if you are going to cut a little bit. It's way easier to keep off than to losing a lot of it in a short period of time and feeling like crap because you're super hungry from the sudden drop of eating. You go this!
This is definitely gonna be tough but at the same time, I’m highly motivated. I’m 5’11 and only 119 lbs, and my weight has been constantly going down due to what I assume is my low calorie intake. Once I can get myself to a much healthier diet, or healthier intake, I can work toward the lean athletic build I’ve always wanted
I'm a beast! I ended last year not great. I felt so fragile. That feeling kept me from living my life the way I wanted. I was so scared of hurting myself, being judged, etc. This year I told myself to be patient and gentle with myself. 5 months in and I have put on 20 lbs of muscle and am feeling better than I ever have, meeting kind helpful people, and pushing my body further than I ever thought I could. Still being patient and gentle, but now I'm not afraid to try 😊.
Bro I love watching your stuff! One reason why is because I'm a personal trainer too and I tell my clients the same stuff you be saying in your videos. The other reason is because you keep it interesting with the "tough like the toonz" and relate it to fitness in some way. Keep it up bro! If you have any tips for me to be even better, I'm all ears!
I’ve been watching you for a couple years now as a skinny guy( 5’8 110 pounds my whole life ) and you’ve given me such a push through that time to achieve my goal. Now I’m working out 5 days a week from home, drinking protein and trying to gain the weight needed to get to freeza saga goku level. Thank you for everything, can’t wait to see what you do next!
I’m a beast! Hey Jax, I have one suggestion: do you think it would be better to replace “sleep” with “recovery” in your stool? Recovery covers sleep, but also general rest and stress management. Some people may get good sleep, but if they aren’t really resting otherwise or have extreme stress outside the gym, it can get in the way. Just a thought! Either way, I love the analogy!
Saitama’s build is actually accurate to the exercise he’s done, because muscle mass comes from weight but muscle strength/endurance comes from repetition. He never increased the weight of his exercises as they were all bodyweight exercises so there would be no reason for him to be a muscle mass beast like goku
Thanks for the vid Jax, and for all the motivation you've given me over the years. I'm 175cm tall, and last November I weighed 93kg. I was going out to a party, and when I went to put on my belt, I realised my gut was so large I couldn't fit the notch into any of the holes. That was a wake up call. For the next 8 months I dieted every single day, and I walked/ran almost every single day, and I dropped down to 67kg. It's been a couple months since then, and I've been hovering around the 69-70kg range, which I'm more than happy with. I've also been trying to put on muscle, which I think is going alright. I used to be quite in shape back when I was a teenager in the early 2010s and did karate/went to the gym, and I've never completely lost the muscle in my arms from then, so I had a decent base to start with. It's been a couple months since then. I'm not in hardcore diet mode anymore, but I do eat only three times a day, only healthy stuff, and lots of hardboiled eggs. I work out four times a week at home by doing push ups, planks, weighted ab exercises, and bicep curls. I have considered getting back into the gym, but my current workout regime already leaves me pretty tired and sore, and my gains are definitely noticeable, so I don't know if it's necessary right now. I've also considered drinking protein shakes, but I'm not sure if it'd be excessive given the amount of eggs I currently consume. Ideally I'd like to be lean fit. I think being fit built would look better, but I don't want to eat the amount needed to get to that level. I've lost so much weight, that the thought of putting some of it back on, even if it's with good intentions, makes me uneasy. Maybe one day I'll be more comfortable with the thought of it, but for now, lean athletic is my goal.
IMABEAST The past few weeks I've hit that point where I asked myself why I work out. I've seen videos and read some stuff on why others work out. Therapy, aesthetics, strength, boredom. My answer everytime was and is “I want to look like a superhero”. This was a great info drop on how I can start working towards that. Jax, my man, you are my hero.
Overall, I've always admired the more lean athletic build. My diet is pretty good, but I know my weakest link is definitely exercise. I struggle with motivation, but even if I falter sometimes, I do keep coming back. IMABEAST
IMABEAST I'm skinny fat trying to get that like Garou, Black Panther physique are my goals. Was a healthy fit, lean athletic before but hadn't worked out for like 4 months. Went from 190 to 225 (currently hovering around the 220-225lb range) but I can still run, do pullups, pushups weaker but can still do them. I do know definitely I need to be in a caloric deficit and be consistent working out
Just to work hard to make sure I live better.. I went from a puffy.. to doing push ups... to walking alot long distance.. to doing 0 to 50 push ups.. and better cardio.. I honestly believe my body is made for speed but I'm just combining it with a bit of strength.. I AM A BEAST!!! As a secondary goal.. I had a bus injury on my leg.. from 3 years ago.. I still feel pain in my leg.. that doesn't really go away.. and feels I may have to live with it.. but my training.. encourages me to not let the pain beat me from doing what I need to do.. especially when I'm working. I used your video and your story for inspiration jaxblade..cuz I still remember your arm and how long it took you to heal but still be able to train. Thank you for that man and keep on doing you.. good luck to everyone else on your training!! FIGHT!.
Currently just working on my overall strength and cardio. Doing full body splits (trying to do them M-TR, then Cardio Friday), really like the progress I am making but still need to get used to my bodyweight again for stuff like chin ups. I'm a beast !
IMABEAST, my goal currently is to try and get myself to be more of the Lean/Athletic type of body and then try to progress towards the Fit Built side of things. Thanks for breaking body types down really well in this video, Sensei.
Crazy how I watched this after finishing a nice training session and now I already wanna get back on the grind. Love the video as always Jax, they're amazingly informative and inspiring! #IMABEAST
My long-term goal has been 'bear beast' for as long as I can remember. The closest I got was around 18 years ago (end of high school), with a body closer to 'healthy fit' (93kg @ 1.86m), but with a bigger build and a little gut still present, while able to deadlift ~150 kg (60 kg barbell + two girls, each sitting on either side of the barbell). Being older, I'm somewhat bulkier these days, but with a dad bod/fairly large gut going on (currently 123kg @ 1.86m) and I probably can't deadlift as much anymore. I need to get much stronger (the main thing I care about), bulk up a fair amount, mostly lose the gut and finally achieve bear mode. Fair winds to everyone that's also trying to get back into shape or doing so for the first time! Cheers! Edit: Alright, Jax, but only because _you_ asked: IMABEAST.
Your content is 🔥🔥💪🏾 love how you tie certain things in anime, manga, and entertainment to life, health, and fitness. Out of the body types you explained, where would you put: goku, gohan, vegeta, and an adult uub? (All cell saga and beyond) Ace and sabo? (Wano) Asta (post 6 month time skip) And how would you describe the physique of naruto characters?
The GOAT strikes again! Thank you for this breakdown; I think that I’m currently healthy fit, but working towards fit built. IMABEAST, and JaxBlade you’re the GOAT!
So I was listening to this during one of my morning walks, and I think that I caught you asked us what aesthetic we have / want to achieve. So, that being said, here comes a long comment… Midwestern father of 4, 31yo, 6’2” 265-270lbs. I wake up at 330am every morning and do at least 40 minutes of cardio before work. MWF I’ve been using an app to slowly get myself to being able to “run” for 30 minutes straight without stopping. TThS I walk with a weight vest for 40 minutes. When I get off work M-F waiting for my youngest to get off the bus (and on Saturday mornings), I rotate between 3 different exercises that I have dubbed the following: Vacation Arms/ Shoulders, Chest attack, and Compound Strength building. These workouts usually take me anywhere between another 30-40 minutes to complete. Roughly 6-8 exercises each, 5 sets, and reps have been slowly increasing for the last 9 months. Now I have what I’ve recently heard of termed as a “power belly” and I’ve come to terms with it. I love food, ain’t gonna deny that. Haha I managed to get down to 254 back in February, but counting calories becomes taxing for myself and my fiancé, so we just try to stay active and eat as we please (but not too much, of course!) Sure I’d love to have a more leaned out physique, but the reality of my situation is that counting calories seems too much like a “chore” for us. So I’ll enjoy whatever physique my body obtains overtime as I continue my progressive overload with my workouts. We don’t eat out or order food too much, we do eat fairy healthy, but my size and weight need HUGE calories in my line of work and even just to maintain. All in all, I love your videos. Fellow anime nerd and fitness buff! Keep up the great content! 💪🏻💪🏻
First I wanna say thank you Sensei Jaxblade for giving us another amazing video. I always learn so much and have come a long way since I started watching your channel. But yeah I'm currently between hefty and bearbeast due me being a natural big guy plus I have a history or working in physicallyl demanding jobs. My goal however is to be Built Fit like my boy Uri Boyka. Once upon a time I wanted to be jacked but that is just too much work for me to maintain. So now I'm really trying to get my three leg stool of fitness in order because while I've gotten better at nutrition and being consistent with training, my sleep habits still need work. But either way I'm just on my journey to become a fit beautiful beast thanks to you Sensei Jaxblade. #IMABEAST
I'm a beast I'm almost a thousand percent sure I'm fit built. I have been putting in the work for almost 8 years with minor breaks in between but it just feels amazing to see the results always in the mirror. Like most folks DBZ was an inspiration for working out but didn't hit that stride until after the military. 9/10 I'm often the biggest person in the gym and at work. There's too many benefits to being healthy that I'm super happy. Maybe I can trim 5 pounds and aim for muscle failure more often than higher reps.
Bender: So musicians really Rodger your Hammerstein, huh? Leela: Yeah, it's weird; Sean was uneducated, unambitious. He was pasty and hunched-- Fry: [quietly] Pretty boy...
This video was super helpful and informative. I'm more on the lean athletic side. Recently started working out, mostly calesthenics. Feels pretty good so far, idk if it will actually work to help me gain weight/muscle.
Thanks for your videos im currently in a lean bulk and thanks to you, is been a perfect and everytime i look in the mirror im proud of what im becoming💯💪🏾🔥
I'm a beast! I was 290 in 2021 and currently at 250. Taking a slow journey to 217 which was my weight when I got out of the Army.

IMABEAST I'm turning 40 this year I'm on my way to lose fat and gain muscle on the process. the hard part on the consistency department is juggling with gym, work, family (wife and kids). and this impact in diet, rest, workout. so I'm trying to make the most out of it. Care to ask can you make a video on a approach to us older men I mean people like me who deal with this type of juggling? thanks man keep on the good work. love your videos
I'm a beast! I used to watch your videos way more often 1-2 years ago back when I was hitting the gym and running more. I made a lot of progress back then but life took a wild turn (for the better overall) and so I haven't dedicated time to working out as much. I decided to step back in now that I recently turned 26 and I immediately came back to your channel. I have a job that has me hitting 14K steps on average, but I know I can do more since I want to achieve a lean athletic build. I came to this video to hype me up before I start on the Tanjiro/Demon Slayer routine; I nabbed a foam nichirin sword at a convention a while back so I might as well put it to practical use lol. I'm hoping to change my diet too sooner than later since groceries seem to be getting more and more expensive. Thank you for always hyping us up and giving peeps like me access to legitimate and easy-to-understand workout science. You make it fun and it gives me added motivation. Here's to everybody's fitness journey and I hope we all manage to meet our goals, however long it may take!
Our societies reliance on cars is one of the worst factors on people's fitness imo, I do all my grocery shopping on a skateboard and that alone has got my legs shredded. Do things the hard way, itll make your life easier in the long run.
I'm 24 years old and I'm just trying ti be well rounded, so I'm more on the healthy fit side of things. I sleep decently, I eat relatively well most days and sometimes it's hard for me to be consistent with my exercise but I do try. I would like to aim to attain abs or more "lean" asthestic but I got bigger things to worry about
Always been fit and slightly toned especially in my teens when I did sprinting at a high level, would like to get back to that fineness level and also put on some mass so my frame is a little less long and narrow.
IMABEAST also my goals stay around 155- 160lbs of bodyweight because for me (5'6 or 167cm) that's the weight I've been at were I can be strong and built but also the weight where I go any heavier I feel less athletic or slower in my running and agility. Also for MMA and any combat sport I cut to 145 so it puts me at an easier weight to cut down that 10 to 15 pounds and wayyy healthier because I can cut it slower than to me being at 170 (i weigh in at 165 rn) also to get stronger at my main lifts for strength. Weighted Pullups, Weighted dips, Shoulder press and squats. I have the endurance and stamina so I guess maintaining or make some micro improvements along the way. TIP FOR PEOPLE LOSING FAT! THE SLOWER AND MORE PACED YOU LOSE IT THE EASIER IT IS TO KEEP IT OFF!!
Imabeast Thanks jax-sensei for reminding me about the importance of the 3 leg rules fitness... I'm honestly from skinny fat trying to aim for fit built or healthy fit, much more like baki hanma i think... And now i realize how IMPORTANT sleep & cardio is for burning some fat. Thanks again jax-sensei for the information.
The biggest point where I got comfortable with my physique is when I saw people like Eddy hall and Brian Shaw. My frame is a bear beast frame. In wrestling it was nearly impossible to keep my weight down, in 5th grade I was already almost 6ft and literally doing everything in my power to stay below 200lbs. Now as an adult I hover in the high 200's, low 300's. For my body type 260 legit would be lean and cut.
Personally, I'm shooting for somewhere in the vicinity of lean or healthy fit. I don't really want to bulk up, because I don't want to outgrow my clothes, since finding new ones is a pain, and I like the ones I already have. It'd be nice to have more muscle definition, but that's not really a priority. My biggest issue is lack of time, I do a whole lot of walking and/or running just going back and forth to classes, and I can squeeze in a little extra exercise between classes sometimes, but a lot of days I simply don't have time to eat multiple meals. (To the immense horror of my weight lifter friend.) For that reason I tend to gravitate more towards carbs to try and keep my glycogen stores stocked up until I can eat again, while also trying to plan around my rebellious intestines by trying to balance out things that speed up digestion and things that slow it down, because my irritable bowel syndrome will make me suffer if I don't. Then despite my best efforts occasionally I'll show up at the school dining hall only to find that the only decent options are super spicy or full of garlic (which my guts hate) and I just wind up eating extremely nutritious corn flakes that day... Also IMABEAST
Yo! I'm a beast! I'm currently at a level of healthy fit, and I'm thinking that I'd like to go for the movie fit look. I'll likely go back to being healthy fit later, but I'd like to give that movie star look a shot first. Great video by the way! This touched on a lot of great points that were super helpful to me in solidifying my goals in my mind.
My goal rn is to just put as much muscle while natural and stay at a healthy body weight. I do at some point want to get leaner but I want to put on mass so I can focus on the harder stuff then get to the easier one which is leaning out my frame. I want to max out my limit first. I want to compete natural in the future after uni and try to become an IFBB pro. I know I might not so maybe then I will decide to go on the juice. But that’s only after I max my natural limit first. I just workout to build muscle and exercising is just a great way to feel happy and have an “ego” where you’re this ultimate being that can literally destroy anything. Of course working out has its downs sometimes but I don’t let that stop me because my desire to become who I want fuels me over and over again and ignites my sense of obligation that I want to improve and get better. I wanted to prove to the world (fate) that I can set my course of how I want it to become. So that’s my goals and I just wanted to say that cause Jax Blade wants to know my fitness goals.
Calisthenics helps best with strength training but weight training does best with muscle Mass. you can build large sums of muscle through increasing the difficulty of calisthenic training like HIIT and Plyo yet remembering to match the diet or eating regime to the goal
I"M A BEAST!, I'm just chanting to myself 2 lbs a week, as I'm trying to cut down. I finally after 10 years really have the ability to cook for myself and track my calories to figure out how much I need to be in a deficit to actually continue losing weight. I was 279lbs , at 22% body fat. Cause since my teens I've always eaten big and worked out hard and now that I'm finally hitting 29 I'm doing my first real cut. But the recipes, the sauces, all the options, to meal prep or buy a food service. I finally was able to Channel my inner Food Wars but through a fitness cook book instead. It's made the journey so much easier.
My goal is to lean back out, in highschool I was 280 and fit in a size medium, 4 years later I'm 300 and in a XXL, I've gained muscle, but more fat, so I'm going back to how I used to eat, and I believe as long as I maintain my muscles I will look alot like kratos, which is my personal goal.
Hi Jaxblade I am between lean athletic and fit build but I am 14 and 66kg but I am working more on athletic performance than just astethics and I AM A BEAST💪 but thanks for this video it was really helpful.
looking drop down to 270 and build my frame from there but ultimately I wan to look better in the mirror and get a baki hanma back lol. but ive been watching yah videos for years now man keep it up

I’m a beast! Hey Jax, I have one suggestion: do you think it would be better to replace “sleep” with “recovery” in your stool? Recovery covers sleep, but also general rest and stress management. Some people may get good sleep, but if they aren’t really resting otherwise or have extreme stress outside the gym, it can get in the way. Just a thought! Either way, I love the analogy!
You always come through for me when I need it the most 💪🏽 you the man
Saitama’s build is actually accurate to the exercise he’s done, because muscle mass comes from weight but muscle strength/endurance comes from repetition. He never increased the weight of his exercises as they were all bodyweight exercises so there would be no reason for him to be a muscle mass beast like goku
Muscle mass comes from how close to failure you are, not from weight

I work out four times a week at home by doing push ups, planks, weighted ab exercises, and bicep curls. I have considered getting back into the gym, but my current workout regime already leaves me pretty tired and sore, and my gains are definitely noticeable, so I don't know if it's necessary right now. I've also considered drinking protein shakes, but I'm not sure if it'd be excessive given the amount of eggs I currently consume.
Ideally I'd like to be lean fit. I think being fit built would look better, but I don't want to eat the amount needed to get to that level. I've lost so much weight, that the thought of putting some of it back on, even if it's with good intentions, makes me uneasy. Maybe one day I'll be more comfortable with the thought of it, but for now, lean athletic is my goal.
IMABEAST
The past few weeks I've hit that point where I asked myself why I work out. I've seen videos and read some stuff on why others work out. Therapy, aesthetics, strength, boredom. My answer everytime was and is “I want to look like a superhero”. This was a great info drop on how I can start working towards that. Jax, my man, you are my hero.
Overall, I've always admired the more lean athletic build. My diet is pretty good, but I know my weakest link is definitely exercise. I struggle with motivation, but even if I falter sometimes, I do keep coming back. IMABEAST
The goat is back 🔥🔥
Appreciate yall waiting for me
Hell Yeah! another JaxBlade Video!
Glad you're here :)
IMABEAST
I'm skinny fat trying to get that like Garou, Black Panther physique are my goals.
Was a healthy fit, lean athletic before but hadn't worked out for like 4 months. Went from 190 to 225 (currently hovering around the 220-225lb range) but I can still run, do pullups, pushups weaker but can still do them.
I do know definitely I need to be in a caloric deficit and be consistent working out
I’ve recently seen a lot of improvement in my callisthenics :) You’re a great inspiration for me, Jax!
Edit: I’M A BEAST
That Bear Beast aesthetic build is honestly Dad Bod goals for when I reach my 40's and don't care about being perfectly fit ngl.
Just to work hard to make sure I live better.. I went from a puffy.. to doing push ups... to walking alot long distance.. to doing 0 to 50 push ups.. and better cardio.. I honestly believe my body is made for speed but I'm just combining it with a bit of strength.. I AM A BEAST!!! As a secondary goal.. I had a bus injury on my leg.. from 3 years ago.. I still feel pain in my leg.. that doesn't really go away.. and feels I may have to live with it.. but my training.. encourages me to not let the pain beat me from doing what I need to do.. especially when I'm working. I used your video and your story for inspiration jaxblade..cuz I still remember your arm and how long it took you to heal but still be able to train. Thank you for that man and keep on doing you.. good luck to everyone else on your training!! FIGHT!.
Everytime I watch a jaxblade video I just get a burst of motivation to work out. Personally my goal is to just be healthy fit.
Currently just working on my overall strength and cardio. Doing full body splits (trying to do them M-TR, then Cardio Friday), really like the progress I am making but still need to get used to my bodyweight again for stuff like chin ups. I'm a beast !
holy crap just hearing “three leg stool of fitness” brings back so many memories from my fitness journey way back from those new years videos
IMABEAST, my goal currently is to try and get myself to be more of the Lean/Athletic type of body and then try to progress towards the Fit Built side of things. Thanks for breaking body types down really well in this video, Sensei.
Crazy how I watched this after finishing a nice training session and now I already wanna get back on the grind. Love the video as always Jax, they're amazingly informative and inspiring! #IMABEAST
Third like and Jax’s is back with another banger video
haha thank you
My long-term goal has been 'bear beast' for as long as I can remember. The closest I got was around 18 years ago (end of high school), with a body closer to 'healthy fit' (93kg @ 1.86m), but with a bigger build and a little gut still present, while able to deadlift ~150 kg (60 kg barbell + two girls, each sitting on either side of the barbell).
Being older, I'm somewhat bulkier these days, but with a dad bod/fairly large gut going on (currently 123kg @ 1.86m) and I probably can't deadlift as much anymore. I need to get much stronger (the main thing I care about), bulk up a fair amount, mostly lose the gut and finally achieve bear mode.
Fair winds to everyone that's also trying to get back into shape or doing so for the first time!
Cheers!
Edit: Alright, Jax, but only because _you_ asked: IMABEAST.
Your content is 🔥🔥💪🏾 love how you tie certain things in anime, manga, and entertainment to life, health, and fitness.
Out of the body types you explained, where would you put: goku, gohan, vegeta, and an adult uub? (All cell saga and beyond)
Ace and sabo? (Wano)
Asta (post 6 month time skip)
And how would you describe the physique of naruto characters?
The GOAT strikes again! Thank you for this breakdown; I think that I’m currently healthy fit, but working towards fit built. IMABEAST, and JaxBlade you’re the GOAT!
Common jax w
Ps: W means win
haha appreciate it
This man this man!!! Is the G.O.A.T 🔥 thank you Jax for all the help you’ve given me
So I was listening to this during one of my morning walks, and I think that I caught you asked us what aesthetic we have / want to achieve. So, that being said, here comes a long comment…
Midwestern father of 4, 31yo, 6’2” 265-270lbs. I wake up at 330am every morning and do at least 40 minutes of cardio before work. MWF I’ve been using an app to slowly get myself to being able to “run” for 30 minutes straight without stopping. TThS I walk with a weight vest for 40 minutes.
When I get off work M-F waiting for my youngest to get off the bus (and on Saturday mornings), I rotate between 3 different exercises that I have dubbed the following: Vacation Arms/ Shoulders, Chest attack, and Compound Strength building. These workouts usually take me anywhere between another 30-40 minutes to complete. Roughly 6-8 exercises each, 5 sets, and reps have been slowly increasing for the last 9 months.
Now I have what I’ve recently heard of termed as a “power belly” and I’ve come to terms with it. I love food, ain’t gonna deny that. Haha I managed to get down to 254 back in February, but counting calories becomes taxing for myself and my fiancé, so we just try to stay active and eat as we please (but not too much, of course!)
Sure I’d love to have a more leaned out physique, but the reality of my situation is that counting calories seems too much like a “chore” for us. So I’ll enjoy whatever physique my body obtains overtime as I continue my progressive overload with my workouts. We don’t eat out or order food too much, we do eat fairy healthy, but my size and weight need HUGE calories in my line of work and even just to maintain.
All in all, I love your videos. Fellow anime nerd and fitness buff! Keep up the great content! 💪🏻💪🏻
First I wanna say thank you Sensei Jaxblade for giving us another amazing video. I always learn so much and have come a long way since I started watching your channel. But yeah I'm currently between hefty and bearbeast due me being a natural big guy plus I have a history or working in physicallyl demanding jobs. My goal however is to be Built Fit like my boy Uri Boyka. Once upon a time I wanted to be jacked but that is just too much work for me to maintain. So now I'm really trying to get my three leg stool of fitness in order because while I've gotten better at nutrition and being consistent with training, my sleep habits still need work. But either way I'm just on my journey to become a fit beautiful beast thanks to you Sensei Jaxblade. #IMABEAST
I'm a beast
I'm almost a thousand percent sure I'm fit built. I have been putting in the work for almost 8 years with minor breaks in between but it just feels amazing to see the results always in the mirror. Like most folks DBZ was an inspiration for working out but didn't hit that stride until after the military. 9/10 I'm often the biggest person in the gym and at work. There's too many benefits to being healthy that I'm super happy. Maybe I can trim 5 pounds and aim for muscle failure more often than higher reps.
Bender: So musicians really Rodger your Hammerstein, huh?
Leela: Yeah, it's weird; Sean was uneducated, unambitious. He was pasty and hunched--
Fry: [quietly] Pretty boy...
This video was super helpful and informative. I'm more on the lean athletic side. Recently started working out, mostly calesthenics. Feels pretty good so far, idk if it will actually work to help me gain weight/muscle.
You got this!
THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING NON BINARY WHEN TALKING AT THE BEGINNING IT MEANT A LOT
Thanks for your videos im currently in a lean bulk and thanks to you, is been a perfect and everytime i look in the mirror im proud of what im becoming💯💪🏾🔥
Yo I love the little drawings, soo good!
haha Appreciate it
You inspire me Jax. I joined a gym two weeks ago, going in 6 days week first thing in the morning 💪 💪 💪
I'm a beast!
I was 290 in 2021 and currently at 250. Taking a slow journey to 217 which was my weight when I got out of the Army.
IMABEAST I'm turning 40 this year I'm on my way to lose fat and gain muscle on the process. the hard part on the consistency department is juggling with gym, work, family (wife and kids). and this impact in diet, rest, workout. so I'm trying to make the most out of it.
Care to ask can you make a video on a approach to us older men I mean people like me who deal with this type of juggling?
thanks man keep on the good work.
love your videos
Your ad plays just when I start the video love you respectfully
IMABEAST! I convinced myself to delete the youtube app and I now realize I have so much more time to focus on my goals! Great video as always!
Awesome video my guy. I personally want to be fit built where I can give off that genjustu effect and be functional in my martial arts. IMABEAST
I'm a beast!
I used to watch your videos way more often 1-2 years ago back when I was hitting the gym and running more. I made a lot of progress back then but life took a wild turn (for the better overall) and so I haven't dedicated time to working out as much. I decided to step back in now that I recently turned 26 and I immediately came back to your channel. I have a job that has me hitting 14K steps on average, but I know I can do more since I want to achieve a lean athletic build. I came to this video to hype me up before I start on the Tanjiro/Demon Slayer routine; I nabbed a foam nichirin sword at a convention a while back so I might as well put it to practical use lol. I'm hoping to change my diet too sooner than later since groceries seem to be getting more and more expensive.
Thank you for always hyping us up and giving peeps like me access to legitimate and easy-to-understand workout science. You make it fun and it gives me added motivation. Here's to everybody's fitness journey and I hope we all manage to meet our goals, however long it may take!
Our societies reliance on cars is one of the worst factors on people's fitness imo, I do all my grocery shopping on a skateboard and that alone has got my legs shredded.
Do things the hard way, itll make your life easier in the long run.
I'm 24 years old and I'm just trying ti be well rounded, so I'm more on the healthy fit side of things. I sleep decently, I eat relatively well most days and sometimes it's hard for me to be consistent with my exercise but I do try. I would like to aim to attain abs or more "lean" asthestic but I got bigger things to worry about
Love your channel keep it up dude you inspire me
Yall inspire me so thanks for the kind words!
Always been fit and slightly toned especially in my teens when I did sprinting at a high level, would like to get back to that fineness level and also put on some mass so my frame is a little less long and narrow.
Thanks dude. For the algorithm
IMABEAST also my goals stay around 155- 160lbs of bodyweight because for me (5'6 or 167cm) that's the weight I've been at were I can be strong and built but also the weight where I go any heavier I feel less athletic or slower in my running and agility. Also for MMA and any combat sport I cut to 145 so it puts me at an easier weight to cut down that 10 to 15 pounds and wayyy healthier because I can cut it slower than to me being at 170 (i weigh in at 165 rn) also to get stronger at my main lifts for strength. Weighted Pullups, Weighted dips, Shoulder press and squats. I have the endurance and stamina so I guess maintaining or make some micro improvements along the way. TIP FOR PEOPLE LOSING FAT! THE SLOWER AND MORE PACED YOU LOSE IT THE EASIER IT IS TO KEEP IT OFF!!
Imabeast
Thanks jax-sensei for reminding me about the importance of the 3 leg rules fitness... I'm honestly from skinny fat trying to aim for fit built or healthy fit, much more like baki hanma i think... And now i realize how IMPORTANT sleep & cardio is for burning some fat. Thanks again jax-sensei for the information.
Always love your videos man!
lets go big homie!!!
All your videos are great, you always motive me to work out can't wait for the next though like the toons and your reviews videos.
The biggest point where I got comfortable with my physique is when I saw people like Eddy hall and Brian Shaw. My frame is a bear beast frame. In wrestling it was nearly impossible to keep my weight down, in 5th grade I was already almost 6ft and literally doing everything in my power to stay below 200lbs. Now as an adult I hover in the high 200's, low 300's. For my body type 260 legit would be lean and cut.
Imabeast, pretty cool video!!
Decided to listen during before sleep workout les goo
This help a lot love to see more of these Iimabeast bro and so are you.
I’m a beast, and so is everyone else 😁
IMABEAST!
Love your videos man! ❤❤❤
Personally, I'm shooting for somewhere in the vicinity of lean or healthy fit. I don't really want to bulk up, because I don't want to outgrow my clothes, since finding new ones is a pain, and I like the ones I already have. It'd be nice to have more muscle definition, but that's not really a priority. My biggest issue is lack of time, I do a whole lot of walking and/or running just going back and forth to classes, and I can squeeze in a little extra exercise between classes sometimes, but a lot of days I simply don't have time to eat multiple meals. (To the immense horror of my weight lifter friend.) For that reason I tend to gravitate more towards carbs to try and keep my glycogen stores stocked up until I can eat again, while also trying to plan around my rebellious intestines by trying to balance out things that speed up digestion and things that slow it down, because my irritable bowel syndrome will make me suffer if I don't. Then despite my best efforts occasionally I'll show up at the school dining hall only to find that the only decent options are super spicy or full of garlic (which my guts hate) and I just wind up eating extremely nutritious corn flakes that day...
Also IMABEAST
Jax’s back
Great video bro. Just ran a Tough Mudder race. I’m a beast!
Yo! I'm a beast!
I'm currently at a level of healthy fit, and I'm thinking that I'd like to go for the movie fit look.
I'll likely go back to being healthy fit later, but I'd like to give that movie star look a shot first.
Great video by the way! This touched on a lot of great points that were super helpful to me in solidifying my goals in my mind.
Needed this
My goal rn is to just put as much muscle while natural and stay at a healthy body weight. I do at some point want to get leaner but I want to put on mass so I can focus on the harder stuff then get to the easier one which is leaning out my frame. I want to max out my limit first. I want to compete natural in the future after uni and try to become an IFBB pro. I know I might not so maybe then I will decide to go on the juice. But that’s only after I max my natural limit first. I just workout to build muscle and exercising is just a great way to feel happy and have an “ego” where you’re this ultimate being that can literally destroy anything. Of course working out has its downs sometimes but I don’t let that stop me because my desire to become who I want fuels me over and over again and ignites my sense of obligation that I want to improve and get better. I wanted to prove to the world (fate) that I can set my course of how I want it to become. So that’s my goals and I just wanted to say that cause Jax Blade wants to know my fitness goals.
ImaBeast. Can't wait to build the Baki body. Thanks for another great vid Jax
Calisthenics helps best with strength training but weight training does best with muscle Mass. you can build large sums of muscle through increasing the difficulty of calisthenic training like HIIT and Plyo yet remembering to match the diet or eating regime to the goal
I'm a beast and so are the rest of you. Let's go jax gang 🤙🏻
Ima beast! Thank for being u Jax
I"M A BEAST!,
I'm just chanting to myself 2 lbs a week, as I'm trying to cut down. I finally after 10 years really have the ability to cook for myself and track my calories to figure out how much I need to be in a deficit to actually continue losing weight.
I was 279lbs , at 22% body fat. Cause since my teens I've always eaten big and worked out hard and now that I'm finally hitting 29 I'm doing my first real cut. But the recipes, the sauces, all the options, to meal prep or buy a food service. I finally was able to Channel my inner Food Wars but through a fitness cook book instead. It's made the journey so much easier.
Awesome video sensei excited to see what comes next, imabeast
Jax, don't forget a Grimmjow workout from BLEACH in the future
I thought this was an art video from the title lol
Also first
Helping out the algorithm
IMABEAST ...another great job jaxblade keep up the hard work 💪
W Video Bro
My goal is to lean back out, in highschool I was 280 and fit in a size medium, 4 years later I'm 300 and in a XXL, I've gained muscle, but more fat, so I'm going back to how I used to eat, and I believe as long as I maintain my muscles I will look alot like kratos, which is my personal goal.
Great video Imabeast
Hi Jaxblade I am between lean athletic and fit build but I am 14 and 66kg but I am working more on athletic performance than just astethics and I AM A BEAST💪 but thanks for this video it was really helpful.
