Agree so much with this vid. People always plan to do too much in the gym. The sooner you realise less is more, the sooner you achieve your goals through consistency.
Yea like people trying to say if your not limping out the gym then your leg day wasn't hard enough or if your not going to failure every workout then your working out hard enough that really is really annoying.
This is incredible, I just logged to write the same comment, today I'm officially no more overweight! I managed to lost 8 kg following this lifestyle... fasting, minimalistic focused traning, eating salads after my fasting period ends is giving me the opportunity to eat a lot of pasta(which i love) in the evening without even over the limit of de deficit! I feel I can continue this lifestyle for ever! Thank you, you changed my life!
Reshaping your self image is a powerful tool. Believe in yourself knowing you're going to be that guy/girl with the physique of few. It's kept me going for 7 months straight and it really shows when i interact with old friends.
I love how you talk about mindset. Can you delve into the mindset of self-image further? You often bring up changing your physical identity is hard because it has many mental barriers. If some of us have gone from fat to skinny and are now trying to lean bulk, that mindset of “you are not getting fat, it’s for muscle” is hard.
very much loved what you said at the end: "People worry about whats the perfect incline bench angle, while walking and sleeping enough makes a bigger difference".. can only agree haha
Good info as always, glad I found this channel. What you said was exactly what I had issue with. I have the bad habit of going too hard and getting burnt out. Now that I've found a happy medium I'm looking forward to working out and have been able to sustain it for longer than ever before.
I did resistance training every day for half an hour for three months and I burnt out. Been on a month long break and now I'm getting back into it with more knowledge. Round 2 let's go
@@sunnycowboy2147 your body being in repair mode all the time in different areas inhibits your ability to go into GO mode when you do it for a long time. even if you are training different groups, best to leave at minimum 1 day off entirely in the week
Getting lean enough is the hardest part IMO. By eating clean, I can get my weight down to where the outline of my abs is visible, but the last few kilos are much more difficult because there is no junk food left to cut from the diet, it's about reducing portion size.
Yo, I love your videos, bro keep it up! I’m a Korean American, who moved to Korea six years ago, and sometimes I watch transformation videos of these Korean men, preparing for those photo shoots. But your video is straight to the point, and it motivates me to hit the gym. Keep it up. Maybe talk about those 프로필 photo shoots. Talk about the process. I’m sure a lot of people around the world are curious about it and why is such a trend here in Korea?
I've started walking with a 20kg Weighted Vest. 2 Mile beach n park route, with occasionally jogging up n down steps here n there, its a game changer, and when you get back, and take that vest off, you feel so light, it's like you can almost fly, or at least jump around like Spiderman!
It's been only a month but ı lost 6kg and ı can somewhat see some great change on my body. I still have my belly of course but ıt's only been a month so, ı have a long journey ahead. Your videos are actually the reason ı could start going to the gym and start my body recomp. Thanks a lot man!
Your videos helped me so much, I started 11 months ago and lost 25kg, now i don't look overweight anymore and I'm not quitting, I'm going all in to get the lean-muscular body type that I've always wanted. Thank you!
Love your stuff wanhee. It would be nice to see a minimalist approach to neck training. I'm getting pretty good results overall but i am struggling with the neck... Tried with bands, head harness, plates... with little success. Carbonara is the bomb! 💪 Greetings from italy
Quick Tip: Protein shakes Fruits, water, are your Best friend When your Fasting! Try to eat more chicken. It’s protein and lean meat. Saturday have a cheat day. Don’t torture yourself. Sunday-Friday grind!
LOVE this channel and would love to see a more detailed video on protein. I'm 46, weigh 195lbs at around 16-18% bodyfat at 6ft tall. I recently lost 23lbs of fat and am currently doing 2x a week workouts, HIT style and loving it I also walk 10k steps a day and live near the beach so swim and play with the kids a lot. I was eating 100-120g protein a day, but experimenting now with 150g+ a day as I have increased my calories, so excited to see where this takes me. What would you recommend for my weight and height? Many thanks
I appreciate this video, but I also appreciate that you took the feedback in changing the Hamza style content from previous videos. Keep up the good work my friend.
As far as the cardio goes, have you experimented with jump rope? That might be a fun one to look into as it can be fairly high in intensity and very accessible to most people.
Hi Wanhee, I love your videos. I’m a woman but I can still apply this to my fitness goals. The question I have is…. Is this realistic for a man who is working full time and raising a family? Is it truly sustainable?
Hey Lisa, not Wanhee, just someone here who follows his minimalist preachings. Going to the gym 3x a week for an hour (ish) is sustainable for anyone, I've just had my A level exam season, the busiest and most stressful time of my life, and while most others stopped going to the gym because they were going so much more, I was able to keep it up and it really balanced out my life. I'm sure this will be sustainable for you. You can always try it and find out! 😎
I love the video. On the part about deadlifts tho I'm more on Sam Suleks side there. It costs too much in form of late life injuries for what it gives. You can work around that.
Also always remember changing your body is a way of self love not self hate do not hate your current state but cherish it as it is the way to claim your victory instead of focusing on how you look today focus on what you've achieved have you done 10k steps? Did you finna be able to do dips? Can you make more than 6 reps of pull ups record your progress and love the process self hatred and body dismorphia can make it worse by either falling down to your old habits or overtraining anf losing muscles.
I’m also fan of minimalist training, I do full body everyday with push/pull/legs, 1 hour everyday which builds up consistently and discipline cuz u have to dedicate 1 hour of ur day to training.
Sleep is the hardest thing for me, something i struggle with and something I feel I have no control over. The more I know I need to fall asleep, the less I fall to sleep at bed time, no matter how tired I feel 😢
You should read "set it and forget it" about sleep. The irony with sleep is the more you try, the less it happens. So you need to let go of control. Read that book, it will help.
Hey man, great video and great advice as usual ! Since you do the minimalist training, how do you warm up ? sometimes it takes me 20-25 min just to warm up
That's almost half my workout lol. Ive stuck with 5 mins of dynamic stretches ending in push ups to get blood flowing to the upper body for months now and it's done me justice. Can I ask - what do you do for 20-25 mins?
@Wanhee 완희 I love what you do, especially your minimalist approach to training and life. So please don't use cheap video effects, cutscenes and transitions (like this glitch/noise effect and big typography behind your back). Keep it clean and simple like your records and your philosophy. All the best for you!
I did 2 years straight 5 days a week (I felt mentally and physically bad if I ever missed a day), I missed maybe 10 days in each year but then COVID hit and I've been making excuses since lol.
Im hitting 40 yrs in a couple of weeks, really out of shape, back problems are diluting my quality of life so much. I would love to give a real shot but im not sure I can and not keep getting back problems, im like 10 or 15 kg over weight too.
the most important part is learning about the visual tricks and lies that makes up all the ways we perceive others and think they percieve us in. i have been fascinated with eastetics since teens but took me years to learn that most of the musclebound men i saw in movies and elsewhere, were much closer to me already, they had lighting, they had lower fat percentage, i mean a couple of percentages, and or was much smaller than me in frame, (im 189cm). also you have to learn and choose between looking big with or without clothes on. you cannot have both. when you are very educated in all of this, you can spot a muscular and fit guy even when wearing a sweater, once you know what to look for. but you need to know that the vast majority of people will not see this and will not think he is bigger, fitter or stronger than the guy who have 10 percent more fat than him sitting next to him. even though he is much worse in all aspects both eastetically and functionally because of the higher fat percentage. i have been very muscular and bear mode, and also odder mode. and there is no comparing them. odder mode or rather natural mode is so vastly supirior in every way. i mean you might lift a bit more on max lifts with more fat, but that is completely useless and not attractive compared to the more balanced mode, not to an educated and wise mate at least. with low bodyfat, you can do so much more and for much longer, and its way easier to maintain, and easier on your body long term. when i way bear mode i got a lot different looks and comments from people about how fit and strong i was/looked. and i was very strong but not endurance or any other metric, and i would look much softer shirt off then my clone with 5-10 percent less fat. i live in denmark and is not fond of the beach so i was rarely shirtless. which was a big part of why i, mostly subconsciously, saw bear mode as the obviously better choice. but damn i feel great being freed from that. i have retained most of my muscle and strength and focus much more on running and calistenics now. focus on vo2max and longevity instead, as well as much less stressful dieting and overeating. i always thought that calistenics was a great and much better way of training, supplemented by some weights, mostly for varietys sake. especially in regards to fitting it into your schedule and lifestyle. extra good for introverts too. being tall and muscular means that i will never have good chance of winning any ternaments with it. not that i had any intensions to. whereas i would fare pretty well in powerlifting competitions when i was focussing on that. but that style of trainging is so much worse than weighted calisthenics, at least if you hyperfocus on that and on maxlifting. way better and harder to do highrep squats than some crazy one rep max. again, do vary to stay motivated, i just recommend that you focus on higher reps and calisthenics style training for the most part long term. also, for fellow tall and heavy people, calisthics is actually greatly aided by our frame. it makes the training much more effective, and you can progress far longer relative to small light people. you dont have to carry nearly as much gear and weights around, which makes longterm, weighted calistenics much more "lightweight" in terms of gear and other annoying stuff. for example if you are as big as me you are pretty much better off never doing weighted pullups or pushups and just focus on more reps and perfecting technique and variations. and that should give you a much healthier and well rounded result.
Love this i advice - I work as a chef on a super yacht - it’s hard job to maintain routine - but I do well compared to peeers. It I crash when I get home - ama take your advice and apply it, I hope to come back here in a better shape haha
I like your guide. Only thing I would somewhat disagree with is the amount of protein. Most research agrees that between .6 and .8 grams per pound of healthy body weight (for most males that would be somewhere between 10% and 15% b.f.) is ideal and beyond that, most don't see any benefits. For a lot of males, that adds up to somewhere between 80 to 125 grams/day. Talking non body builders and folks not on gear. But even for them, the percentages are very similar (in between .6 and .8 grams per lean body weight).
95 percent of what I've followed most my adult life and studied as a trainer. So many dudes have a warped idea of what is attractive to most women and improves your quality of life.
instead of deadlifts do olympic clean pulls, they are similar but will use the legs a lot more & also introduce the traps with a shrug as part of the overall exercise you'll get massive traps lol
Why is it always the overweight, unfit guys in the office who say "you're too thin, you need to gain weight, u look skinny' it doesn't do your confidence any good. I exercise and have got more toned and definition. I like the way I feel but u start to doubt it when people say this. I am 6ft 1" and 80kg.
i disagree about the overhead press being top tier. it's fine and all, but if we're talking strict aesthetics, ignore direct anterior delt work and do something like upright rows, which will hit your side delts (much more important for aesthetics) and your traps, traps being primarily responsible for that "yoked" looked. your front delts will get plenty of work from incline bench. (clearly i wrote this before getting to halfway of the video). for legs, if you have one of those belt squat machines in your gym, that thing is absolute king. don't get me wrong, squats are top tier and i can't not recommend them, but we're talking aesthetics and the belt squat machine has the advantage of not making your back gassed from supporting load. hence more energy you can put into your legs. if you don't have one of these machines, the runner up is the hack squat machine. but it's important you hit ATG on whatever you're doing.
A constant struggle for me is I’ve always been lean and wanted to put on some muscle so everyone would stop calling me a twig, fast forward now everyone wants to be turbo lean and aim for athletics, it’s a grass is greener on the other side. Right now I look like what every dude is trying to achieve and I don’t feel satisfied cause it’s been hammered into my head I need to be bigger 😅 it’s an on going fight and I still struggle with cause I see myself as super skinny but everyone around me is telling me I look good. Currently 6’1 190 the biggest I’ve been I feel physically amazing I’m on a good workout plan but I can’t escape the thought I could be bigger and I need to bulk, body dysmorphia is rough😂
Why is walking so good to lose body fat? Do you burn body fat whilst u walk? Or does it just increase your maintance calories and thus increase your caloric deficit/easier to maintain the caloric deficit?
Love your channel and I’m listening to all your advice ! I’m male 5’8 24 years old at 200 Lbs with around 25-30% body fat. Realistically if I follow all your advice on This video, how long would it take me to get an aesthetic body? Thanks you’re awesome!
I have adult ADHD and yea, I have a tendency to try to do too much too quickly. But actually the biggest reason why I lack consistency is not liking gyms and not having much space at home. I got a membership at my local rec centre but the lockers are coin op and small. I don't like how at the gym you can't easily do a circuit or superset because if you are using 5 different stations you look like and are probably an asshole, therefore it takes at least 3x as long to do the same workout. There also creepy old dudes, people who zero respect for personal space, distractions, shitty showers, maintenance schedules closing equipment or sauna/pool etc. Like honestly, fuck gyms. Would way rather have a home gym, just don't have the space right now.
Great advice... It must be a joy to workout...because when I lose the momentum due to distractions or other activities...it can be difficult to get back on track. I gain a lot from your blog...great work. I had to sub'.
I feel like you're encouraging the tiers too slow. You're right, new people don't need to jump all the way in immediately. But three years? You should be on tier 3 around 6-9 months.
Dude, I'm 60 and I'm doing it. Of course not. I've lost over 50 pounds in the last couple years and I'm as muscular as I've ever been and that's no exaggeration. Seriously. I found my measurements from when I was working out in my mid 20s. I wish I would have done it a long time ago. I spent most of my adult life overweight and undermuscled. I bought this program and I'm using it and it works. You've got this.
Beans, lentils and eggs. Whey is not that expensive if you buy it in bulk. Also it depends on your starting weight, assuming you are not above 200 lbs, try to get atleast 100 grams. While not optimal, you can improve by consistent work out.
Do you know what your body fat % is? I took a DEXA scan for the first time and realized I have to count my calories. I’m at 16, which is good, but I want to get to 10. Curious to see where you are if you can share bc we have similar body types.
I agree with everything except for the walking part - Doing cardio will burn fat and so will walking - But walking 10,000 Steps is definitely going to take so much more time than a HIIT workoiut or something! Love the videos!
What do you / community think about the saitama work out? So 100 push ups, sit ups & squats a day
Год назад
I honestly wouldnt recommend a workout based on a cartoon character bro. The excercises aren't bad per se, but nothing beats a gym membership and doing what Wanhee recommends here.
Hi! I was wondering if anyone could answer my question. Lately, I've been curious and concerned about something: Let's say my average caloric output is roughly 2000 calories, and I want to start losing weight, so I reduce my consumption to about 1500 calories (500 cal deficit). However, considering my age (16 years old), height (166.5cm), and weight (81kg), this might be a significant restriction, especially for someone like me who is still growing and developing. I am aware that I am overweight. To be completely honest, I am sedentary and I typically sit down at my desk, looking at my computer screen for more than 6-10 hours a day save for some weight training sessions every other day. So, I decided what if I be more active? Take on a healthier lifestyle? Like increasing my activity through walking around 12,500-15,000 steps each day, along with some runs and sprints. By this point, I think it's safe to assume that I'd be losing more calories than being sedentary (obviously.) But the main thing is that I'm worried about losing out on height growth, so it might sound stupid to ask this, but considering the things I've said above, would this be a better approach for the long run? Is it better to achieve a caloric deficit through increased activity but still eating quite a lot? Could it lead to less growth? Sorry if this is a bit confusing to read, I'm not really good at English **TL;DR** I heard that a calorie deficit would be bad to follow as a teenager as it could lead to not getting enough nutrients and losing out on height growth. However, is achieving a caloric deficit through increased activity while maintaining a relatively normal diet a good idea? Would said caloric deficit affect my height? I still want to get taller :(
as a teen your priority is to increase activity to build your body. any little thing adds UP if you are sedentary. progress steps to 8/10k first and find a sports you really enjoy so you can stick to it for your life to Come. try multiple sports until you fond one, what matters IS being active. if you are sedentary and overweight look for wellbeing, health and feeling great as your key goals, being aesthetic will be something to focus on once your base are covered :) and nutrition wise, find what a proper maintenance intake for a less overweight version of you would be, stick to it and increase activity !! this will get you far while being sustainable. dont go all out on training, you will quickly get burnt or injure yourself. build your base first as said before :)
My god, you are so fricking handsome, and that accent, it's just so mesmerizing I can't even pay attention to what you're saying lol. Didn't you used to use cartoons in your videos.
yes, Wanhee talks also about proportions, so that aspect is interesting, how is it different for girls. Cause I don’t need big muscles on my arms or legs, so how to keep them more flat? Not increase the weight on the resistance trainings? Also the adapted tiers would be super interesting to hear.
So to be clear. Your advice is to lift weights (compound), be consistent, be in a calory deficit, eat protein, walk, drink water and sleep? Wow... never heard that before on over 1 million other videos and IG posts.
Agree so much with this vid. People always plan to do too much in the gym. The sooner you realise less is more, the sooner you achieve your goals through consistency.
Yea like people trying to say if your not limping out the gym then your leg day wasn't hard enough or if your not going to failure every workout then your working out hard enough that really is really annoying.
Your advice are so good. I've lost 7kg from following your advice and been enjoying the gym more than ever before.

i have been very muscular and bear mode, and also odder mode. and there is no comparing them. odder mode or rather natural mode is so vastly supirior in every way. i mean you might lift a bit more on max lifts with more fat, but that is completely useless and not attractive compared to the more balanced mode, not to an educated and wise mate at least.
with low bodyfat, you can do so much more and for much longer, and its way easier to maintain, and easier on your body long term.
when i way bear mode i got a lot different looks and comments from people about how fit and strong i was/looked. and i was very strong but not endurance or any other metric, and i would look much softer shirt off then my clone with 5-10 percent less fat.
i live in denmark and is not fond of the beach so i was rarely shirtless. which was a big part of why i, mostly subconsciously, saw bear mode as the obviously better choice. but damn i feel great being freed from that.
i have retained most of my muscle and strength and focus much more on running and calistenics now. focus on vo2max and longevity instead, as well as much less stressful dieting and overeating.
i always thought that calistenics was a great and much better way of training, supplemented by some weights, mostly for varietys sake. especially in regards to fitting it into your schedule and lifestyle. extra good for introverts too.
being tall and muscular means that i will never have good chance of winning any ternaments with it. not that i had any intensions to. whereas i would fare pretty well in powerlifting competitions when i was focussing on that. but that style of trainging is so much worse than weighted calisthenics, at least if you hyperfocus on that and on maxlifting. way better and harder to do highrep squats than some crazy one rep max. again, do vary to stay motivated, i just recommend that you focus on higher reps and calisthenics style training for the most part long term.
also, for fellow tall and heavy people, calisthics is actually greatly aided by our frame. it makes the training much more effective, and you can progress far longer relative to small light people. you dont have to carry nearly as much gear and weights around, which makes longterm, weighted calistenics much more "lightweight" in terms of gear and other annoying stuff. for example if you are as big as me you are pretty much better off never doing weighted pullups or pushups and just focus on more reps and perfecting technique and variations. and that should give you a much healthier and well rounded result.
Lot of words... some may say too many
Love this i advice - I work as a chef on a super yacht - it’s hard job to maintain routine - but I do well compared to peeers. It I crash when I get home - ama take your advice and apply it, I hope to come back here in a better shape haha
I like your guide. Only thing I would somewhat disagree with is the amount of protein. Most research agrees that between .6 and .8 grams per pound of healthy body weight (for most males that would be somewhere between 10% and 15% b.f.) is ideal and beyond that, most don't see any benefits. For a lot of males, that adds up to somewhere between 80 to 125 grams/day. Talking non body builders and folks not on gear. But even for them, the percentages are very similar (in between .6 and .8 grams per lean body weight).
95 percent of what I've followed most my adult life and studied as a trainer.
So many dudes have a warped idea of what is attractive to most women and improves your quality of life.
instead of deadlifts do olympic clean pulls, they are similar but will use the legs a lot more & also introduce the traps with a shrug as part of the overall exercise
you'll get massive traps lol
Why is it always the overweight, unfit guys in the office who say "you're too thin, you need to gain weight, u look skinny' it doesn't do your confidence any good. I exercise and have got more toned and definition. I like the way I feel but u start to doubt it when people say this. I am 6ft 1" and 80kg.
i disagree about the overhead press being top tier. it's fine and all, but if we're talking strict aesthetics, ignore direct anterior delt work and do something like upright rows, which will hit your side delts (much more important for aesthetics) and your traps, traps being primarily responsible for that "yoked" looked. your front delts will get plenty of work from incline bench. (clearly i wrote this before getting to halfway of the video).
for legs, if you have one of those belt squat machines in your gym, that thing is absolute king. don't get me wrong, squats are top tier and i can't not recommend them, but we're talking aesthetics and the belt squat machine has the advantage of not making your back gassed from supporting load. hence more energy you can put into your legs. if you don't have one of these machines, the runner up is the hack squat machine. but it's important you hit ATG on whatever you're doing.
Yo that burger place is fire
A constant struggle for me is I’ve always been lean and wanted to put on some muscle so everyone would stop calling me a twig, fast forward now everyone wants to be turbo lean and aim for athletics, it’s a grass is greener on the other side. Right now I look like what every dude is trying to achieve and I don’t feel satisfied cause it’s been hammered into my head I need to be bigger 😅 it’s an on going fight and I still struggle with cause I see myself as super skinny but everyone around me is telling me I look good. Currently 6’1 190 the biggest I’ve been I feel physically amazing I’m on a good workout plan but I can’t escape the thought I could be bigger and I need to bulk, body dysmorphia is rough😂
Why is walking so good to lose body fat? Do you burn body fat whilst u walk? Or does it just increase your maintance calories and thus increase your caloric deficit/easier to maintain the caloric deficit?
Good mentor to be honest
how many exercises per workout would you recommend?
I tried the Dips in Wanhees free bodyweight workout but I keep getting sternum pain, does anyone know why it's like this.
Where can i find this workout?
There are lots of videos on how to deal with sternum pain on RUclips.
@@bosanceros0172 he share free pdf minimal body training in his video. I just downloaded it few months ago
I get a Korean Tom Hardy vibe from you bro. Lol I appreciate the advice!
Preciate you man, I was wondering is the program that you give to us the one that you use?
How do you feel about using a rowing machine for the majority of Tier 1? Too much cardio for effective resistance training or is it good?
Love your channel and I’m listening to all your advice ! I’m male 5’8 24 years old at 200 Lbs with around 25-30% body fat. Realistically if I follow all your advice on This video, how long would it take me to get an aesthetic body?
Thanks you’re awesome!
A year or 2
A month and a half in I’ve lost like 12 pounds!
Im starting to loose between half a pound and a pound a week now though
When is the next mukbang Wanhee? Love your videos!
Hey Wanhee, what should I do if my maintenance calories are close to 3k? Should I keep on losing weight until I get back to 2k again?
If you stay in a caloric deficit but eat enough protein would one still lose muscle?
Gotta do training too
Good video.
I have adult ADHD and yea, I have a tendency to try to do too much too quickly. But actually the biggest reason why I lack consistency is not liking gyms and not having much space at home. I got a membership at my local rec centre but the lockers are coin op and small. I don't like how at the gym you can't easily do a circuit or superset because if you are using 5 different stations you look like and are probably an asshole, therefore it takes at least 3x as long to do the same workout. There also creepy old dudes, people who zero respect for personal space, distractions, shitty showers, maintenance schedules closing equipment or sauna/pool etc. Like honestly, fuck gyms. Would way rather have a home gym, just don't have the space right now.
I’m 6ft 3 and 85kgs, getting enough protein is the only thing I don’t enjoy on my journey. Otherwise, I’m here for it.
I'm going to start this on Monday, how long does each workout take? Just so I could possibly do it before work.
Great advice... It must be a joy to workout...because when I lose the momentum due to distractions or other activities...it can be difficult to get back on track. I gain a lot from your blog...great work. I had to sub'.
can anyone give me a good diet for a teen? I do t eat too much but I can't control it when I eat. help with a diet. thanks
i have lost 8+ kgs in one month with only disciplined diet and regular calisthenics workouts ( pushup+pullup+chinup+ legraise+etc)
well done!
Hello! I want to say you that I am not able to download you minimalistic body weight training from your website can you help me ?
💯💯💯
I feel like you're encouraging the tiers too slow. You're right, new people don't need to jump all the way in immediately. But three years? You should be on tier 3 around 6-9 months.
What camera do you use
Basically do Burpees? Chest - Back - Shoulders - Legs + Lose belly Fat
No that's cardio (unless weighted)
He said resistance training so basically bodyweight workout or Weightlifting
What if i only work out at home?
does the incline bench press replace the normal flat bench press or supplement it?
I always do flat bench press with barbell. And incline bench press with dumbbells for balance muscle
do both
Yeah if two guys do the same exact workout and one hits the protein goals and the other doesn’t. The one eating more protein will get better results.
What is your height and weight?
Is 43 years old too late to start? I know I could do this but just need to get the diet part down.
Not late
Never late
you got this, its never too late
Dude, I'm 60 and I'm doing it. Of course not. I've lost over 50 pounds in the last couple years and I'm as muscular as I've ever been and that's no exaggeration. Seriously. I found my measurements from when I was working out in my mid 20s. I wish I would have done it a long time ago. I spent most of my adult life overweight and undermuscled. I bought this program and I'm using it and it works. You've got this.
No bro.
I cant afford that much protein. Can you make a video on 'the broke persons muscle diet'
Beans, lentils and eggs. Whey is not that expensive if you buy it in bulk. Also it depends on your starting weight, assuming you are not above 200 lbs, try to get atleast 100 grams. While not optimal, you can improve by consistent work out.
Do you know what your body fat % is? I took a DEXA scan for the first time and realized I have to count my calories. I’m at 16, which is good, but I want to get to 10. Curious to see where you are if you can share bc we have similar body types.
I agree with everything except for the walking part - Doing cardio will burn fat and so will walking - But walking 10,000 Steps is definitely going to take so much more time than a HIIT workoiut or something! Love the videos!
What do you / community think about the saitama work out? So 100 push ups, sit ups & squats a day
I honestly wouldnt recommend a workout based on a cartoon character bro. The excercises aren't bad per se, but nothing beats a gym membership and doing what Wanhee recommends here.
Hi! I was wondering if anyone could answer my question. Lately, I've been curious and concerned about something:
Let's say my average caloric output is roughly 2000 calories, and I want to start losing weight, so I reduce my consumption to about 1500 calories (500 cal deficit). However, considering my age (16 years old), height (166.5cm), and weight (81kg), this might be a significant restriction, especially for someone like me who is still growing and developing. I am aware that I am overweight.
To be completely honest, I am sedentary and I typically sit down at my desk, looking at my computer screen for more than 6-10 hours a day save for some weight training sessions every other day. So, I decided what if I be more active? Take on a healthier lifestyle? Like increasing my activity through walking around 12,500-15,000 steps each day, along with some runs and sprints.
By this point, I think it's safe to assume that I'd be losing more calories than being sedentary (obviously.) But the main thing is that I'm worried about losing out on height growth, so it might sound stupid to ask this, but considering the things I've said above, would this be a better approach for the long run? Is it better to achieve a caloric deficit through increased activity but still eating quite a lot? Could it lead to less growth?
Sorry if this is a bit confusing to read, I'm not really good at English
**TL;DR** I heard that a calorie deficit would be bad to follow as a teenager as it could lead to not getting enough nutrients and losing out on height growth. However, is achieving a caloric deficit through increased activity while maintaining a relatively normal diet a good idea? Would said caloric deficit affect my height? I still want to get taller :(
as a teen your priority is to increase activity to build your body. any little thing adds UP if you are sedentary. progress steps to 8/10k first and find a sports you really enjoy so you can stick to it for your life to Come. try multiple sports until you fond one, what matters IS being active. if you are sedentary and overweight look for wellbeing, health and feeling great as your key goals, being aesthetic will be something to focus on once your base are covered :)
and nutrition wise, find what a proper maintenance intake for a less overweight version of you would be, stick to it and increase activity !!
this will get you far while being sustainable.
dont go all out on training, you will quickly get burnt or injure yourself. build your base first as said before :)
should mention heavy rope training.
My god, you are so fricking handsome, and that accent, it's just so mesmerizing I can't even pay attention to what you're saying lol. Didn't you used to use cartoons in your videos.
gay as hell
dont ever do deadlifts guys. ten years ago i messed up and its stilll painful 10 years later.
how tall are u?
Love your content Wanhee. Can’t stand the Hamza intros but other than that keep up the good work
Please make same video for girls ❤
the "tiers of muscle development" thing may be different but tbh everything else is pretty much the same for girls
yes, Wanhee talks also about proportions, so that aspect is interesting, how is it different for girls. Cause I don’t need big muscles on my arms or legs, so how to keep them more flat? Not increase the weight on the resistance trainings? Also the adapted tiers would be super interesting to hear.
This sounds a lot like Hamzas videos 😂
Jeffrey and Adonis is like Jim & Achilies.
Can I ask your age bro?
pr
So to be clear. Your advice is to lift weights (compound), be consistent, be in a calory deficit, eat protein, walk, drink water and sleep?
Wow... never heard that before on over 1 million other videos and IG posts.
