Man, I am so lucky I was raised eating very healthy and that I enjoy healthy foods a lot. Thank you mom and dad. I absolutely love meat, chicken breast, broccoli and every vegetable.
Was thinking the same
Haha Wack! Who loves chicken breast.
@@tekkertruth1256 well cooked they are something to behold. Paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper. Some soy sauce and water in the end to finish cooking it off. Exquisite, juicy and protein rich.
@@agusc5117 If you eat it immediately after cooking then fair play it’s nice, but almost every other part of the chicken is comparatively better. And chicken breast are terrible for left overs the next day.
@@tekkertruth1256 Bro I looove chicken breast. left over or not. well seasoned or just salted I dig that shit xd I prefer chicken breast over most other parts of chicken
The camera looks even better quality than before... didn’t think that could be possible

Broo I'm bulking rn as we speak been uploading vids on it I'm mexichad
It's crazy how much Hamza has progressed, look at him reading a script in this video and look at him just being confident on recent videos. This just goes to show that no matter how good a man gets, a man can always improve.
fr man
He improved himself, but he became more money hungry recently too. No hate tho, I loved hamza.
Strange title. But in real life you dont need to bulk unless ur underweight or too lean of dont have enough energy from your current diet. If you already fat or overweight and want to add more muscle adding an even bigger surplus is NOT the answer. So in simple terms if your already FAT dont bulk more and if you are very lean bulking may be a good idea. Just because you want to add more muscle (and who doesn’t) does not give you an excuse to add in a large surplus as all that will happen is you will be big and fat.
I'm so conflicted after this video coach Greg. I've been cutting for 4 months and have moderate muscles and little bit of lower belly fat, I don't understand if I should continue cutting to get rid of the belly fat or bulk for bigger muscles..
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Did not expect to see Greg Doucette comment on a Hamza vid
@@123wahooguy
1. Are you clinically obese?
2. Do you feel your weight prevents you from doing cardio on a regular basis?
3. Do you have chronic joint pain from being too heavy?
If you answered no to all of these questions then you don’t need to cut. It’s healthy to have some belly fat, a lot of people do. The goal here is to be healthy is it not? If you’re at a healthy weight there’s no need to cut unless you just want to do it to see how it feels. Not everyone needs to be shredded Instagram model level. If you want to do that then go ahead, it’s your choice but if you’re not having health problems from your weight I would prioritize muscle growth if I were you but that’s just me
Ohhhh shit coach Greg is here
didn't think coach greg would be here
I swear to god he's spot on. I ate so little, almost starving, my sleep was messed up, my erection quality was so bad, I was not progressing in the gym, always anxious etc. I added just 1000kcal to my daily diet and all of these symptoms are gone. Also, if you think you can get rid of skinny fatness by eating less, well your body will take whatever you eat and store them in the fat cells. It's weird, when I started eating more, I was thinking that I'm gonna become skinny fatter(?) but the opposite happened, I gained muscle.
Bro i think u were trying to maintain a very low body fat level. Get to a body fat level at which you have enough energy to train hard and build muscle from there
That’s called newbie gains. Almost everybody that is skinny fat has just not gotten their newbie gains. When you’re first getting newbie gains, your muscles are going to have exponential growth in a short amount of time as long as you workout a decent amount, eat enough, and get good sleep. Newbie gains when you’re skinny fat will make you get rid of fat and make you have significant muscle growth at the same time. That doesn’t apply after you’ve gotten all your newbie gains. If you want me to give more clarification or give further information, feel free to ask.
@@TheAndyJaramillo give more information on what to do after newbies gains
@@rasheemthebestfirstone3274 I'm currently in the newbie gains myself but I would say you need to adapt your training based on your potentially new slower recovery time. You're probably gonna have to add more volume to your training
@@TheAndyJaramillo hey man. I don’t think I get more than 70g protein but i am still building some muscle. Is this also because of newbies gains
The biggest problem I have with the "just bulk bro" advice is that people use it as an excuse to get fat as fuck. Like bro, maybe in the first few months of lifting go for a classic bulk but you really don't need that many calories to maximize muscle growth. 1-2 pounds per month should be the recommendation not fucking 2-4 pounds. If anyone is reading this and they're at least 6 months into lifting, TRACK EVERYTHING and get surgically good at controlling your weight. If you do that you can maximize your muscle growth and still look good.
@@TheSbarazzolo bruh, thinking that you can't track your food because "that's what athletes do" is a limiting mindset and keeps you from achieving excellence in what you do. People psych themselves out of tracking calories because they think it's too much work when, in reality, it takes maybe 30 seconds out of your day.
@@TheSbarazzolo just because you can’t sustain tracking doesn’t mean everyone shouldn’t track lmfao what is this
@@winnietheweeaboo6533 how does it take 30 seconds you gotta look at every single thing you eat it’s atleast 10-15 mins a day for me that’s why I never do it
@@TheSbarazzolo yes do you that’s the entire point you said tracking is useless unless you’re an athlete lmao that’s what I’m refuting you can chose not to track go a head I’m not gonna stop you lol
@@doperat9630 if you eat the same list of things every day then you already know how many calories and protein are in them and it's easy enough to guesstimate when you eat out after you have been cooking for a while.
Bro I'm 5'9" and weighed about 260lbs at the start of the year, so I started working out. I lowered my calories to something ridiculously low like 1200 calories and always felt like shit. About 2 months ago I stopped losing weight and was stuck at 210lbs, and i was like fuck this i want to feel better so I started eating way healthier. I've been on a chicken breast, lean turkey, egg, potato, sometimes beef, and beans and I think im eating around 2500 calories, but im not sure. Anyway, I started making crazy strength gains and started shedding fat. Now im sitting at 186-190lbs and I feel great and look the best I have ever looked. Diet really is the most important part of being fit.
Keep going I’m bro 5’8 1/2” and was 250 at my heaviest and now I’m at 170. Still need to lose that last 10-15. I always tell people its a MARATHON not a sprint. Slow steady changes to your habits and diet will keep the weight. Do not put a time limit on yourself because you most likely not reach. Biggest thing to remember is you WILL mess up just don’t let those mess ups snowball because one mess up will not erase your progress.
@@MrBballer567 Exactly man, that's great advice. Consistency and realizing it takes time are key aspects of getting fit.
I'm 5'7 I was 187 pounds at my highest I'm now like 137 pounds right now. But I did it in a shit way cause I lost all that weight in like 3-4 months, which made me look scrawny
sounds like you were eating on a deficit based around your BMR rather than your TDEE.

@@Kira-eh8vj sigma male
It’s important to realize Hamza’s audience is specifically designed for Young South Asian males. This is perhaps why most of his nutrition advice is so odd. South Asian men on average are extreme outliers when comes to the inability to retain lean body mass so his advice proves perfect. A lot of young males in India follow vegetarian diets and diets not conducive to build muscle so it’s easy to become quote on quote skinny fat
actually the same as south east asia and east asian
so should i not follow his advice as a white guy? or would this work for me too
@@playzcrayon8186 yes humans are still humans
....... Bulking and cutting is the fastest way to gain lean mass regardless of race. If you're starting out as a super skinny super ripped white boy there's all the more reason to enter a huge bulk and get as big as you can while your abs are still visible flexed.
@@playzcrayon8186 it will work for anyone
hey Hamza. I'm 14 years old and you've helped me gain a lot of muscle over the past 3 months. Thanks bro

🤜🤛
Wow man, this was one of the first hamza video I ever watched. I remember that I was 16 weighting 57kg at 1,76cm and wanting to bulk to get healthier but I was scared of gaining too much fat, then I watched this video and it changed my mind about bulking. Almost 2 years later and now I weight 68kg and I'm going a second bulk, I wanna get to 73kg or maybe 75kg and I don't care about gain a bit of fat anymore. Thanks to Hamza and his videos I have been able to improve myself so much in just 2 years, thanks Hamza 😊
Same, I grew like 1+ foot over lockdown and I would play Minecraft 18 hours a day and only drink coffee I reached a bw of like 55kg and felt super unhealthy, thankfully once I began bulking I gained like 20kg in 6 months, 1.5 years later I'm now 90kg and road to 130kg
The first 3 mins of video completely described my situation. And I'm so grateful for this video cuz now I can learn from someone else's mistake before I could make it myself.
Men learn from their mistakes.
Wise men learn from the mistakes of others.
@@chirss7267 Adonis learns from both.
@@typoolian1300 lmao
Just realised how grateful I should be for the homemade food I get.
Thank you, Hamza
It’s honestly a blessing I can’t imagine eating out everyday
@@viceflores691 yeah eating out those food outside sucks high fat high processed foods ew just ew homemade food are healthy and good
men learn on their mistakes, legends learn on hamzas mistakes.
This hurts. But I 1000% agree. I got the advice of bulking when I started lifting but just like Hamza I ignored it and focus on staying lean thus my lifts suffered. Now everyone who started lifting with me and even a year later than me has BETTER lifts(ie a lot stronger than me) and they look a lot better than me. Just now I've started taking this advice and I am Focused gaining muscle but if I've just listened to it back then. I would've looked much much BETTER.
I used to be a pizza, fastfood guy occasionally while i lifted. When you eat healthy consistently the basic healthier foods and water will taste better. Its exchanging heavily saturating food for healthy food, your body will adapt overtime and transition. If your family doesnt cook or have healthy food, then youre going to have to cook yourself. Its cheaper long term to cook healthy food rather than eating out constantly. Your energy will get better too as opposed to the fast food. Everything gets better even financially if you take care of yourself.
I bear my testimony this is true
I don't agree basic healthier food and water taste better because they still taste like shit but if you're willing to have a better physique you'll have to give up the pleasure aspect of food and that's doable. I agree everything feels better.
Broo I'm bulking rn as we speak been uploading vids on it I'm mexichad
@@bespectacledperson2316 i agree now i changed my mind. Been lifting for 11 months now so i know a little bit more.
@@ilcorbellodipianoia8646 absolute chad, coming back and correcting himself even when no one disagreed, get those gains bro 💪🏽
I've been working on and off for the past decade but I've been skinny fat for the most parts. As a matter of fact, I've been strict counting calories and cutting while at it. All I got were an eating disorder and more fluffy skinny fat. Since I've started bulking and getting my hormones to function normally again, I'm easily gaining muscle. My body fat is currently at around 19-20% but I'm looking more muscular and better everyday.
My man definitely knows what he's talking about, thank you (for the kiss as well, it was missing in the last video).
Thanks bro, been cutting for a while , finally see a bicep vein when I curl, so now I feel more comfortable bulking up
Sam really put some effort into this one. Appreciate the hard work Sam, your improving our experience my bro!
Who's sam?
@@mridhulml9238Hamzas Brother
Why does everything you say make so much freaking sense. Appreciate your videos dude
Everytime hamza's video pops up.
I become extremely happy
I started bulking as a skinny fat and here is my story :
I started going to the gym july 2023 i was 62 kg height 170 yet i was skinny fat i had a bit fat belly
Anyways moving to January 2024 after 7 months of bulking i'm at 76 kg
But my body looks terrible i look more fat
My mistakes were i was calculating the calories and how much protein and carbs i need
My bulking was a bit dirty whenever i get the chance I eat junk food
Now i'm planning to go for a cut
In which i will focus on healthy food i swear i will track my calories on my fitnesspal
And i will focus on getting about 130grams of protein every day
Hopefully i will build my dream body and get rid of that belly
From my teens till I was roughly 22-23 y/o I fluctuated between 160-165 pounds at 6'1. I went on a bulk and had a goal to be 180-185 pounds below 15% body fat. I'm over 24 and I'm 195 pounds of lean muscle mass. Till this day I genuinely can't believe I wasted 4 years of my life around 12-15% body fat at 165 pounds thinking "This is my final form with these abs bb". Cringe. Go on a bulk lads, fill out that size-M or L shirt. Stay consistent. Eat clean. Get that yung shleep. Get those abs when you got mass to back it up. Hamza's the 🐐
Literally the exact same story for me(stats and all), but I've just started working on my excercise routines and diet. Let's see how far I can get in a few months
1. You weren’t fat, you were severely underweight, so a bulk did you justice.
Love this guy literally the way i talk but American version
bro hamza you’ve managed to make me feel like an absolute idiot. when i first clicked this video i wanted to be open minded ab what you were gonna say but i didn’t think you were gonna make me change my mind. but you are right. i’m in this awkward skinny fat phase while i’m at a high body fat and my stomach looks sloppy and i don’t have a whole lot of muscle mass yet i’m actually pretty lean in my upper body and legs and a lot of people tell me that my body looks good but i wanna be bigger and i want to clean up my abs. and rn i’ve been trying to be on a “recomp”, in a caloric deficit while trying to get in as much protein as i can, which usually isn’t as much as i should be getting. but really all that’s gonna do is make my muscles even leaner than i want them to be and i’m barely gonna gain any muscle mass if any. ig it would be good for fat loss but i can lose fat on a bulk while getting bigger also and not worrying ab being super lean. plus the main thing that makes my body looks so awkward is the fact that my stomach is carrying too much fat and my upper body is also small so even if my stomach doesn’t get any leaner, which it probably will anyways, i’ll at least be getting bigger and just fill out the frame and look better in general. so thanks hamza.
Thanks bro, you are the best, I was going to eat lots of Kiplings but I am going to do your method instead, always simple, true and effective advice, God bless
Thank you so much Hamza, I have been so sacred and unsure where to start my diet, and have been so overwhelmed to just change all of my meals and cook my own meals, you letting me know that I can change one meal at a time is so re-assuring and I actually feel like I can do this. Thank you so much, I am forever in gratitude for your help.
Lmao I identify so much with you, I had the exact same mentality and went through all the things you’ve gone through when it comes to fitness, dating , etc. love your advise so much.

I tried cutting for 2 weeks, and trust me, i was literally near my deathbed. College, workout, assignment, plus cut diet = total disaster. Now i'm bulking rn.

Thank you so much for these videos, you've allowed me to identify mental health issues I was having that I disregarded as me being a bitch or a drama queen, but I've been able to focus more on myself and improvement since discovering your channel.
You aren’t alone brother
I feel this one, I was so afraid of gaining fat when I started working out and therefore made no fucking progress the first 1 and a half years...wasted time, you gotta bulk to gain muscle
I started my bulk this month, I keep three uses of the food I eat. Helps build muscle (protein/minimal carbs for workouts), maintain hormones (fats and oils), and help me poop (dense with fiber and keep my gut healthy). Keeping it simple makes if so much easier to be mindful of my diet.
Thankyou for not dragging and giving on point advices, Love your content.
I was just thinking about this in the morning, contemplating if I should continue with my bulking. Thankyou !
You have a solid channel brother. Funny as hell but helpful at the same time
Respectfully disagree, Hamza. I've been lifting consistently since April of last year. I'm going 5 days/week currently. My numbers aren't spectacular: squated 345, deadlifted 405 and benched 225. I was skinny-fat at the start, around 18% bf at 205 lbs, and made the mistake of bulking at first. Got to 240 lbs. Am at 208 as of this morning. The answer wasn't gaining more weight, it was getting strong while maintaining weight. Now, I've gone from April of this year to now losing the fat and getting back to my old weight while still getting stronger. There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to getting a better body. You said you started at 115 lbs? At your height? Bruv. Yeah, that kid need needs to bulk. I needed to stay the same weight. At 240, I needed to lose weight.
Also, a single square of dark chocolate? That might work for you sometimes or even most of the time, but I don't believe you for a second when you say you've never had that second square. It's ridiculous to suggest other people follow this methodology for a treat. Like, you need to stop autistically telling people they need to follow this one regimen that totally works every single time because willpower, bro. My thing is if I REALLY need a sweet fix, I'll grab a pint of halo top ice cream and eat the whole thing. It's 300-ish calories. I don't allow myself to do it more than once a week and more often it ends up being twice a month.
I also cook the vast majority of my own meals. THAT's what you should be preaching. Learn how to cook your own damn meals. Good meals. Learn how to eyeball macros and make sure the scale is headed in the right direction week-on-week. The not-so-obvious, yet objective, thing to tell people is that there is never a need to go above 15% for general fitness and strength goals. There's natties at about that bf % that can deadlift in the 700s.
Yeah, I agree. Fitness advise isn't always a one size fits all, sometimes you have to look at your own needs and evaluate what you need to do. For me even in a deficit I'm able to gain a fair bit of strength. Obviously not a huge deficit, but still good enough to lose fat and eat relatively normally. I can't really speak on cravings or snacks though, because I straight up have little to no desire for them. Maybe eat some if it fits into my daily calorie intake and my protein intake is fine, but otherwise no snacks for me.
Learning to make your own meals is a hugely important skill though, and I think everybody should learn to do that
I agree to this too. I think the main difference here is Hamza was at 115 which is really skinny and therefore he feels a calorie surplus should be the way. For me personally, I started out overweight, near obese at 28 BMI so when I cut down the past couple months I didn't look skinny fat. Will probably start bulking soon though now that I'm at a healthy weight.
Well if you have 20% + body fat percentage your test levels are pretty low
I agree with this. There is no magic bullet when it comes to fitness or health.
I respectfully disagree..cutting is really not a good option for someone very underweight while being skinny fat
2:50 Masha'allah lmao
I watched that 47 min video that you had and it was awesome. It highlighted that if you are eating healthy foods and whole foods without all the sugar you won't block the leptin signaling in your brain and you will feel full faster. In that video you had said that when eating the healthy foods it is hard to bulk. Earlier I would have thought "This guy is full of it. It is so easy to eat extra calories and bulk" because ,although I am lean, before I had to fight to stay lean. When I started cutting out the sugar and processed stuff it has made it hard to eat extra calories and then this pops up in my feed lol.
Can you give the title of the vid because when he said click the video no vid popped up would appreciate it thanks

You need to upload on Spotify or any podcast platform! Just so I could listen while doing Uber eats/doordash and make life changing decisions🙏🏻 thumbs up please!!
It is true that bulking properly is difficult. When I bulk I end up eating stuff that I should not due to my increased appetite and lack of motivation to always cook.
"Go eat your beef bread bro" why did I laugh so much at that🤣🤣
Sounds like a burger to me!
Hello,I am a tenager that has been on the bulk for like 1.2 years,at the start it was super hard,but now it became natural and easy,now I have a lot of high calory and protein meals that I enjoy,I replaced unhealthy snacs with healthy ones,peanuts,walnuts,etc..
If it became natural, your BMR went up and you're actually eating at maintenance now
You don't have to cut. I was skinny fat and I went on a body recomposition with a cut and now I'm pretty lean. Being in a calorie deficit but including as much as protein as possible and doing resistance training and cardio. It depends on your weight and body fat percentage. If you're skinny fat but underweight or at a healthy weight, then you should bulk to gain muscle, but if you're overweight or close to overweight then you need to cut as you can reduce your body fat percentage and you can build muscle aswell
Just started my bulk last week. Right on time, Hamza
Update
Hamza beefing with Honda Civics really made my day
I started off really fat and dropped 30kg in the first year
I’m not worried about the bulk making me look shit because I know that underneath my work is still there
Plus I love looking bigger more than lean because I was bullied for being weak for years so being big and stronger than them is best for me
The ones who mocked me are the ones who fuel me
1:04 you described me so well
Do it boys,
Do it for yourself and the kids you'd have some day
Raise some Giga Chads and Princess someday
So for that
Time to be a King yourself
I love your content hamza keeping it simple ❤️
i came back after rejecting this video and cutting as i was scared of getting more fat. Now i realize the mistake i made, 3 months later i am back to take hamzas wisdom.
edit: Actually i enjoyed the confidence boost it gave me, and i grew discipline on the process. Still wouldn’t recommend to cut though, if you’re skinny fat you should bulk.
spitting some facts man👏🏽💞
hamza i really appreciate you this was the video i needed thanks
i feel like an MC rn. This video could not have come at a better time wtf. Thanks hamza
I just started watching this man and I love him already. 💪👑
I love that he talk with you , not at you , like the generic RUclips demographics.10/10 will recommend to friends thank you.
This is the eating motivation I needed
Bulking shouldn't be easy tbh. I've learned clean bulking from hamza and started it doing for months. My diet right now is usually sardines, 4 eggs, spinach and veggies, sweet potatoes(boiled) and rice. Everyday is like a hell for me but I see progress even though it's just a month. Clean bulking is immaculate since Im gaining mass while Im getting leaner.
Hey bro hows ur progress??
That's like a 1000 calories I eat that for snacks.
WELLL MAN I SWEAR YOUR VIDEOS OPEN A NEW GATE FOR ME...........LITERALY I WAS FACING THE SAME PROBLEM AND YOU GUIDED ME THANKS FOR ALWAYS HELPING HAMZA
I’ve been cutting (mostly) for a couple months while training and I’ve put 30kg on my bench for reps. Also cutting has given me eating disorders and when I bulked I was easily downing 3500 cals a day and feeling great
Thank you Hamza. You've put some sense into me. I needed this video. It's only been a few hours and I've already started to push above my calories for the day. I'm going to incorporate your potatoes and roasted veggies meal to start my new bulk diet
I’m on minimum 3500 kcal daily now I work out everyday. I never thought I could get bored of eating. This shit changes you man 😂
Just eat a 1,000 calories smoothie makes it easier
MASHALAH BROTHER!!!
You're really helping me out thanks man. Love ya
I needed to hear this. I've sort of recomped for a good bit but on low as hell calories cos I underestimated and I was detrained from before and I've been obsessed with leeeeeaning down so that if I bulk I look better. I have those crappier Asian genes you were talking about and it was super relatable. Im hovering around 14-16% tho it seems I'm always underestimating and it's been doing my head in and my body dysmorphia has jus shot up. It's lean bulk time now
Also I won't lie, bulking is just too easy to not do, I've always been a huge eater of clean foods
Couldn't agree more I started working out around 8 months ago and there's been overwhelming progress. I was always a strong and big person but I honestly just got fat during quarantine. So even me I used the first 2 to 4 months to just workout and eat healthy not to you know "cut" because at the time I didn't have any muscle to cut down to. However around the 5th month once I did I started to cut I went from 255 to 211 and it's been amazing. Once I get to 205 I'm starting my bulking stage. A little excited mainly nervous about it but I know it's gonna do wonders for me and I can't wait for it. Wish me luck boys as it'll probably start in like a week to a month 🤞
Bro your content is a gem.. thank you.
You described my situation perfectly
Really depends on bodyfat levels, even if the guy is skinnyfat, if his bodyfat levels are high like 20% then cutting/recomp is a good idea. If not then bulking is the solution.
ive been working out 2 years and im still skinny because i never bulked. I told myself i would bulk when school ended. But im starting now thank you hamza.
Is there any progress man?
How's the progress bro?
@@ned0sral814 oh yea complete shit😂 I’m ngl. I stopped working out got depressed and lazy. But since about a month I’ve been motivated again. I’ve been really focused on my businesses, on the gym and what I consume. So even tho I didn’t do much since life has actually been really good

Non better idea to teach Young men to be more confident and hard working that giving them such example of a right Ideal Men like Adonis does. Great Videos Hamza keep the good work.
Hamza out here blessing us all
when your parents cook unhealthy foods for you, be appreciate of it. Atleast they cooked for you. What made the difference for me was learning how to cook basic healthy meals like chicken breast. Adding it to my diet by asking my mom to buy some, then i’d just cook it and eat it as normal. I know some parents aren’t going to agree, or be able to afford it. But if you’re lucky enough to have parents who buy you food and cook for you, even if its unhealthy, then you should literally just ask for them to buy something you can cook on your own that you know is healthy, high in protein.
A really good start is oats and protein powder. Add one DL of oats into a bowl, some water, not alot. Microwave it. Then when most of the water is gone you add your favourite proteinpowder. Very simple and has good protein (obvs) and carbs. You can then add things like berries, honey, etc. I personally like to throw in some cut up banana and blueberries topped with low calorie honey. It’s gonna make you full, trust me. We’re all gonna make it brahs.
Here are some examples of high protein foods :
Chicken breast
lean ground beef
eggs
salmon
bison
pork fillet (expensive)
quark yoghurt
tuna
firm tofu
Whey protein powder
I really hope i helped someone with this comment, as thats what i needed when i started training. Feel free to comment something i missed or that you also think is important
"when your parents give you unhealthy food , appreciate it, they did the bare minimum"
I'm 15 and if you're my age the best thing you can eat is peanut butter, beans, eggs, bananas, potatoes, and basically any food that has meat that your parents make.
I'm starting day 1 on bulking. your the best bro!!!
As a skinny 16 year old I've been skinny all my life until I have bulked. My maintainance was under 1500 a day in the covid pandemic. It was really low. Some days I only ate a yoghurt for breakfast and dinner. It was not because of choice but because I didn't know any better. When I started going to the gym I started tracking my food and I saw that I was undereating and I had lost muscle mass. Now I'm trying to get it back thank you hamza
You dont need to bulk. I maingained and added 4kg of muscle in one year at 15 years old.
Granted i started skinny, not even skinnyfat just skinny.
Ure still skinny sorry to let u know but it’s basic science u need to eat more to gain weight and size that 4kg doesn’t come from no where what you did was just turn ure fat into muscle. If u stayed the same weight tho u didn’t get bigger
Yes but remember you have gotten noobie gains and after 1-2 years it gets so hard to put on muscle
I love how this is the most replayed lol 0:54
I felt like this video was directly made for me lmao thank you hamza 🙏
Fried rice is a pretty fire but flexible meal that can easily fit a bulk. Roast some vegetables on slightly above medium heat on the stove in sesame oil, add garlic and onion, and add salt and pepper if you would like. Coconut aminos are a good soy sauce substitute to not kill t levels. After the veggies are starting to turn brown put in your rice (if you are lazy there is dehydrated rice you can just by at the store you can heat in your microwave). Now put your choice of protein in, I like eggs but you can add whatever you want. After the rice starts to brown you are done! Enjoy your easy to cook, healthy, relatively high calorie meal
This guys garn blow he’s unique and relatable 💯
I agree with you Hamza. I've been training on and off for the past 7 years. Have gone from litteral obesity to a lean muscular Greek God. I will say however, the skinny fat boys do benefit from bulking but someone in my situation who or already has a base, got lazy stopped working out. Our goals are to utilize muscle memory, cut and regrow. Anyone who stopped being consistent, get back in the gym eat roughly maintenance Calories and cut then bulk up again. The first month will always be difficult from then on its light work. Good luck anyone who reads this wish you all the best
What about someone who is having 22 percent bf like me , should i like be bulking??
@Saahil lose the fat first g. Get to atleast 15%
@@itr-my9eq thanks bro
@Saahil no problem brother
I’m 15 and I’m barely 45kg. I’m underweight but I look chubby. I used to be fat and made fun of and now I’m paranoid about gaining fat. But it’s been almost 3 years and now I’m ready.
Bruh beef rolled up with bread is fucking amazing, hamza. The disrespect
This doesen't mean you shouldn't cut when you get to the point when you're perfectly satisfied with your muscle size. Also if you are truly satisfied with your physique and you feel comfortable and happy in your own body, then there is no need to change your diet plan.
I was bulking for like 6 months and had been unhappy as fuck with my physique even though I could bench a dumpster truck. Once I started shredding the negative self image dissapeared. I'm currently at 24.8 BMI and I feel amazing. Gonna be striving for a 23.4 but that's about it. Remember the goal is for you to be proud of yourself not for others to be proud of yoy.
Here is a bulking tip I am currently following:
Don't eat in the morning at all.
Eat a heavy lunch and only time you eat carbs is lunch.
For dinner:6 eggs,milkshake with flaxseeds,peanuts and bananas and protein powder.
You're probably still gonna be hungry due to lack of carbs as I am everyday so eat some fruits at night to curb that hunger.
Hamza is right,bulking on healthy foods is a nightmare if you don't properly time your nutrition.
Doesn't even matter whether the food is "healthy". Depending on how aggressive the bulk is (how big the surplus is), you will still gain fat.
And I agree about carbs, people shouldn't just eliminate them.
Leaving out breakfast is the worst advice for bulking ever
halfway through the video... i decided to go and make more food . hell yea brother this is motivating
In very simple sense, most people are skinny fat, they don't have muscles on their body, exposure to high protein high calorie diet will only HELP them..
These bulking cutting is thing for those who are athelete since birth, whose body is already pretty much worked out . For most of us, bulking with high protein diet will give incredible results..
I decided to contact a bodybuilding coach to help me on my journey. I'm sitting at about 15% bf and I want someone to help me get really lean and then bulk up to my beginning point, at around 15% bf. Hope that makes sence
the problem is I love fasting, I always feel like I am on cocain and when I eat all the time I have no energy and I am lethargic
You may just not be eating right
@@ArixSage I can still eat 3500 calories in a single meal, is it okay ?
@@unwarz6098 I would recommend spreading them out as smaller meals, you won't have enough energy just consuming one.
@@ArixSage Thats the opposite way man, when you don't eat your much more energetic, its like your on cocain 24\7
@@unwarz6098 you actually may be right, now that I think about it.
I love this man, He helped me so much I still cant believe i trusted those youtube videos.
This is very true and gives lots of clarity thank you hamza
You don't need to bulk to build muscle. You just need a lot of protein and good food.
more muscle you have, easier to lose fat If you are skinny fat. (+200-300 Surplus)
If you are fat then cut (-300-500 Deficit)
If you are skinny then bulk (+200-300 Surplus)
