One thing that is so unique and respectable about Faz is that the majority of his training career has been done while also being a school-teacher. Many influencers out there give their opinions and knowledge based off of "lifting" being their job, making it not as applicable to average guys and girls who work/are in school and lift on the side. When I hear you give advice, I know that I can trust it because as an education student myself I know I'm in the same boat as you once were. 👌
Hey Faz you're looking jacked AF from multiple angles. Legs, forearms are popping. You are an inspiration for an older guy like me (34) who started lifting seriously only a few years ago. I wanna be the most jacked and strong I can be in my late 30's 40's, 50's. Already MUCH stronger an more muscular than 2 years ago, thanks to channels like yours.
That's really nice of you to say dude, and congratulations on your success. When I started lifting back in 2000 I knew I was onto something. It wasn't as mainstream as it is today but I knew it would be one day.
Hell yes to the fiber/fibre intake. On days I get 80g-100g fiber and my protein is also around 60-70g my calories land in 1400-1600 calorie range but it feels like I ate 3000.
Can you recomp at 15%? I've been on a long cut so don't want to cut anymore but also don't feel lean enough to bulk. I'm thinking of staying here for a couple months at least.
A genuine 15% is actually quite lean, that would be a full 6 pack and obliques dialed in when flexed so it's unlikely you're getting much leaner from there.
This idea is interesting. Very tempting. What percentage of people can this apply to? What are the odds of success for people with higher fat percentage (out of your mentioned range; like close to 30 for example)?
Hey Faz, Just wanted to clarify something. You said recomp isn't "maintenance". But if we are tracking our food intake, are we supposed to be consuming maintenance-level calories during a recomp?
You'll want an amount of calories to keep your weight roughly constant. Maintenance if you want to call it that. However...for training, sticking to something that 'maintains' your current level of muscle is entirely counterproductive. You can't recomp if you're not actively building muscle. Faz's previous video covers the training aspect very well.
@NM Nate thanks for the reply! I watched his previous videos. I was strictly just asking for diet. I suppose, however, calories may need to be increased over time as more muscle is built, since it is more metabolically demanding.
Yeah you're definitely not gonna want to go too high with the Squat reps. Like 20s used to be popular when I was younger, but that's just a bit mental IMO. 5 to 8 for Squats IMO.
You wanna be at it for at least a year. I don't want to oversell this, it'll be real slow and it'll need a lot of patience and it'll probably be harder than a bulk/cut
@@Fazlifts I’m definitely still in the bulk n cut stage but someday I may want to recomp when I’m close to my target weight and bf I may try this. In about 3-5 years… Thanks Faz!

Thanks! I've been invited to an interview soon where I'll be discussing this type of thing actually. I'll link when it's out

I like Faz because he's Sylvester Stalone's prettier younger brother. Oh, and he gives great advice.
Fasting is a godsend for me, and I agree 100% it's not a tool that everyone is going to benefit from.
You kicked ass man, and that Meet performance was fantastic.
please show successful recomp journeys with bodywieght, height, images & examples
Check me out on Instagram, I post regular client testimonials there :)

Mr Fibre right here! Love it man
Yeah I'm a huge fan too. I really think it's a very under valued part of the diet.

Gotta watch this tomorrow, off to bed but comment for the algo!

I’ve decided I’m Too lazy to bulk/cut. 170lb bw for life.
Bro same here

Logically by recomping, we lower the Bodyfat percentage automatically without cutting. I see this as an absolute win hahahaha
This idea is interesting. Very tempting. What percentage of people can this apply to? What are the odds of success for people with higher fat percentage (out of your mentioned range; like close to 30 for example)?
Definitely wouldn't recommend this at higher bodyfats. You'd get more from a cut.
Hi Faz,
What app do you use for tracking your body weight on your phone? Thanks

@@bradenadams7511 Yeah... that'll do. I hate counting calories. Just look at trends on the scale and adjust gradually. 👍
NM Nate covered it.
I explain what means after the initial statement. Watch the full section beginning 04:46
@@Fazlifts Thanks man! I'll rewatch now.
Would 4-6 reps qualify as a reasonable rep range for squats?
Yeah you're definitely not gonna want to go too high with the Squat reps. Like 20s used to be popular when I was younger, but that's just a bit mental IMO. 5 to 8 for Squats IMO.
How long should someone recomp for and expect results? Like dropping from 20% to 18% bf weighing the same?
You wanna be at it for at least a year.
