You're the BEAST, thanks for inspiration and motivation. Since started watching your content dropped weight from 115kg to 90kg in a year and fat percentage from 25% to 15%. Thank you for that.
Measuring body fat % isn't remotely accurate unless you do a skinfold test, and even then many people do the test incorrectly. I don't think looking at or stating fat % is useful when determining your success. Especially since fat % takes into account far more factors than just how much fat and muscle you lost/gained.
@@joshuapatrick4692Sure, but just congratulate the guy and give some encouragement. I don't think his statement implied or needed a high degree of precision. That's still going to be a solid amount of fat loss for most people.
@@absolutelynot7236 My point was not to tear them down, but to point out that focusing on something as generally arbitrary as body fat % is a waste of thought. The more numbers you allow yourself to dwell on and compare yourself to will at best lead to wasted energy and time, or at worst lead you down some bad places mentally. There a plenty of stories of brand new people being way too obsessed with BMI, Calorie counting, and body fat%. Or god forbid even detox teas, fad diets, or aggressive fasting.

He still needs to actually get his IFBB card to even be considered for an invite for the open division, definitely too big for Classic and Men’s Physique. And despite being a genetic freak and huge among most mere mortals, Sam still has a lot of lean mass to add on and posing coaching before becoming a potential threat to seasoned competitors. Jay Cutler peaked at 260~ lbs at 5’9 for competition, and it took years before he placed in the top 5 consistently.

“Nobody is calorie phobic” sorry man but that is wrong. There are tonnes of guys who used to be fat, that have lost the weight and are now scared to eat in a surplus because they’ll get fat again
That is me , I put on a lot of weight during lockdown, dropped from 85 kg to 58 kg and am now to ever eat in surplus, and in days that I do I just sulk all day
As someone who has struggled with every single eating disorder that exists, I really have a tough time with tracking calories. I end up getting in an OCD spiral about eating very little and it is really unhealthy.
I've been training less that 4 times a week for the past two years and I've seen a lot muscle development. I don't lift "as heavy as I can", I prioritize technique over weight 100% of the time. And I work 2 night shifts a week, so... Even without enough sleep... Never listen to anybody saying you need to train 4+ times a week to see results. Here are my stats: I'm 6 feet tall, 200 lbs, 100% natural. Creatine, protein powder and pre workout are the only supplements I take (outside of the regular Omegas, magnesium, etc). I eat 2500-2700 calories a day 220-240 gr of protein, 220-250 gr of carbs and 60-70 grams of fat. Every single day. Just some Regular super clean, but bulky eating. I hope this helps anybody out. Never give up
Exactly! I’ve heard so many guys at work/school claim they do not have enough time or money. If you continue life the way you live it, except adding a couple workouts. You’ll gain muscle. It’s not as complicated as people make it to be. Adding extra protein and sleep are all nothing but bonus gains. Top tier physiques are a different story.
When I was in the army back in 2014, at age 20, I was watching Pumping Iron on Netflix at the time constantly and going to the gyms on base after the dudty days was over. Ive always been the big strong guy with good muscle genetics, but shit I was BIG. Now 10 years later I'm back on that grind, after breaking my back, losing a lung (which came with my right deltoid being cut and ribs spread open for that surgery), and kids I'm finally ready to show my son and daughters why their mom fell for me at first sight. Plus i'm fatphobic and hate my dad bod.
Didn’t want to comment as it was 420 comments but… insane video as always. You deserve to rock the gymnastics/trackfield vest under the baggy tee. Keep up the grind 🔥💪🏽🏆💪🏽
I wasted so much time "maingaining" but not really gaining anything, i kinda just stagnated and maintained. This led me to get frustrated and not knowing i did not get enough sleep/food aka recovery, paired with me emptying / working on a house, i got a overuse injury (tennis and golfers elbows)
@@buffoonustroglodytus4688splits is basically which muscle you’re going to train on that day, for example, chest and triceps on day 1, back and biceps day 2, legs day 3 etc… You can pick and choose which split is good for you and works best for you it doesn’t have to be the same as others. Generally it is better to isolate lower body and upper body workouts for example, chest and legs wouldnt be a good combination because legs is a big muscle and requires a lot of energy to train.
Really like the chest-supported t-bar rows. You should do those every back day that or barbell rows. You pose double back bicep with the shirt on and it covered up the part of Sulek's back that' needs the most improvement-the lower lats-that's why more rows. Instead of squeezing the back muscles higher up in the midback think about feeling the lower part of the lats (it's a big muscle) when rowing.
Sam i got a question when the time comes for a new QnA, when it comes to body building what is your favorite body builder to watch to learn or who was the body builder you watched to learn more about body building. Also great work on the videos don't stop
Back depends on goals. If you want a barn door back then I would change your schemes entirely and go strongman training with front squats, bent over rows, pendlay rows, conventional deadlifts, heavy shrugs (traditional, back and hanging), grip training (weight pin work with various attachments, hangs and farmer carries). I won’t tell you on the periodization schemes because despite some optimal schemes I think rep ranges weekly set schemes, linear periodization and undulations ultimately it that person who is going to know the feeling that’s best for them. When you really look at “the science” you will realize all the strongest men in the world and all of history these schemes have been totally different from each other so do what you like.
Love your evolution. You absolutely can do heavy controlled reps and squeeze. Just takes longer to get there. But safer and very targeted. I mentioned before when you're doing 315 on bench slow and controlled for 10 reps...then you're huge? right? It doesn't have to be 365 for 8 ugly or 265 for 15 squeezing...you can absolutely work up to huge poundages and be controlled.
since ive been watching lifters over years… routinely i chuckle at how athletic types get dubbed as “dumb.” I have NEVER heard a pro lifter that is not clearly intelligent af. Love this dude. PS: i put 2 raw eggs, icecream and milk in nutra bullet. Everyday for weeks… and over years less consistent… NEVER had a problem. I really question raw eggs… and the fearporn. There is a they, and a business that pulls revenue from health issues.:. all im sayin.
I really need to start tracking total calories. I'm at least tracking my protein now. 300 grams is my target and I usually get pretty close. It's made a huge difference.
25:16 def experienced this also, worked out everyday without eating more and gained little, now 3-4 times a week with less intensity but tracking food and stronger than before
Great video. I think bodybuilders overlook forearms. They get placed under legs on the priority scale. It's not hard to add them to your week. And massive, knotty, Popeye forearms make a difference.
I'm 43, 6 foot 3, about 188. Been eating 2000 calories a day for a few months now and I have gained a bit, I was at 168 before. I'm a little hesitant to increase calories as I'm seeing gains still. My protein is about 250 a day, carbs about the same. Been hitting the gym for about a year with a 6 month break in there due to a couple open heart surgeries. Should I try to increase calories still? I'm looking to get more muscle gain and strength, but I don't want to gain fat as it's hard to diet off when I'm already on the low side of calories.
I would stick what you are doing now, If you are gaining weight and progressing with strength, it's good 👍 to add 100 kcal for a week, and then you will know.
I genuinely cannot stop overeating on weekends. Crushing my gains. Much needed reminder with today’s video. I’m getting stronger. But not leaner. Time to get back in the lab and out of the kitchen.
Try intermittent fasting, like don’t eat or drink anything but water until after 12:00pm. Then also maybe cut off your eating time at a reasonable hour like 10:00pm.
@@StevioTVioweekends do be difficult, but try to just ask yourself in a moment of weakness how bad you want to reach your goals. That always works for me when I'm about to give in to temptation.
I am 3 months consistently in the gym & have never felt my lats burn or pumped, I pull with thumbs over the bar and pull from elbows to my hips, squeeze the armpits still nothing. What do I do. I don't really feel any back exercises directly ever. I'm on the verge of wanting to quit everytime i remember it's been 3 months and ive done nothing. Only difference over the last 3 months (my first 3 months int he gym ever) is my strength did go up on some things/most.
Dont give up, its normal for beginners not to feel their back even after months of training, what you need to do is experiment with different exercises such as single arm rows and concentrate on feeling your back. Also try squeezing sets and slow negative.
I'm not super skinny, but not super obese. (27 years old.) I'm about 3 weeks into lifting and it's been pretty solid, I'm locked in. I've got my calories up to about 3,000 a day starting out, and doing a "cleaning bulk" through the Winter. I've been keeping the intensity pretty high on my lifts, but my only issue is lifting in the morning for 45 minutes to about hour and a half, and then working 10 hours at a pretty physically demanding warehouse job (stacking 10,000+ lbs of boxes a day) and it's still been going okay. I like having 100% energy for my lifts, even if it means being tired and sore at work all day. Anyone have any idea of what my calories should be roughly with this much physical activity daily? With high protein and carbs and plenty of electrolytes my recovery has been pretty solid.
That’s pretty solid. If you are just starting out, it’s best to take advantage of newbie gains and being slightly over maintenance which is what you seem to be around calorically. Additionally, your physically taxing job helps burn additional calories, thus contributing to limiting fat gain. In my opinion, since you are fairly new to lifting and as long as you are slightly above maintenance while getting 1g protein per lb of body weight, you are solid. Also, it’s a good idea to start taking creatine, since it increases muscle endurance and helps with recovery while making you look bigger. Good luck!
