I just began focusing on the RUclips channel. So the algorithm is not in my favor. I do have 50k+ followers on the other platforms so eventually I hope that the channel will catch up.
So basically, in your beginner phase of working out, you can be in a caloric deficit and build muscle as long as your protein intake is high. But as you become experienced and your muscles become more resilient to weightlifting, it will be much harder to build more while in a deficit.
Dude I have found your channel a week ago and I am eating through your content like crazy. You talk straight to the point, beginner level explanation and no bs, just pure facts. Great job
You are the MAN I’ve been watching you for a long time now. Still watch your 6 weeks to superhero bench press, and squats . Your are the real deal. Much love from Philly!!
Probably one of the best videos for understanding how the body is able to build muscle and what someone should do to lose fat and gain muscle. Thank you!
Love the content, Coach! I’ve been reading your articles on T-Nation for years and only recently discovered your RUclips channel. I love it! I am lean and small, so my goal for 2020 is to grow, grow, and grow some more! 💪
I can build lost muscle (for example if I have not train for a couple of months) while be in a quite large deficit. I can also build muscle while in a slight deficit if I start training better (better mind muscle connection). Thats my personal experience till now.
Guys do what you think is best for your body. Listen to your body and genetics. If u think u can do both at the same time go for it! Everything is possible. This guy is spittin facts 100% but you should do you by the end of the day u r the one that has to go to the gym by urself. Mesure, weight, look in the mirror,... If u see results why bother do 1 at a time? Work hard and we all can achieve anything.
Diet is legit like 80% of the weight loss. You always want to eat a diet that's good in protein, carbs, and some fat with little sugar. Gradually dropping 200-300 calories below your recommended calorie maintenence will ensure you lose weight slowly, but you will lose it and not starve. Nutrition dense foods are amazing. The saying, "you are what you eat", has never been more true.
It's possible to gain muscle in a deficit not being a beginner and continuing to eat well. Muscle requires protein in order to grow. There is some fat stored in muscle. When you workout the bodies intent is to repair the muscle afterwards so it uses protein you consume and fat to rebuild it. Your body is not stupid so of course if somebody destroys a workout and there muscle is really sore they will gain muscle even in a deficit. The body doesn't want to be struggling everytime to do a task. Why we build muscle. The body tried to do something more efficient by gaining muscle to do so. If it notices it's really hard to do something it usually will try to do it better next time deficit or not. I can personally gain muscle and loose fat. Just train and eat enough protein. Don't always listen to somebody who seems to have your ideal body type. There are many ways to get to a certain muscle mass ratio. Bulking and cutting is not the only way. Look up Jeff Cavaliere. He might have a body type beyond what you want and he doesn't promote bulking and cutting.
But the body doesn't build new muscle until it fully recovers that which was lost in the workout. Once the recovery process has completed, your body then overcompensate.
@@henrik3775 I went back to USA working for three week. I already had Nutrisystem at our place. Fat falls off like crazy. Was down 4 lbs in one month, down 8 more pounds 8 days on Nutrisystem. Wondering if it’s the Chromium picolinate in the shakes. I’m eating tons of protein.
One possibility: old habit carried over to the present. Maybe from times when being self-conscious speaking in front of people. The same way people cling to their drinks in clubs or bars when feeling insecure or nervous. Something to hold on. From my observation it's hard in general for people to speak in a standing position without somehow occupying their hands.
It’s a coaching thing. Coaches use them for cues, they can point to or tap body parts while you are lifting, without getting so close that they get in your way.
Every once in a while I hit a recomp period. They have always been very gradual and very subtle, and they have also been self-limiting, since the energy and protein needs changed along the way.
What if I‘m like 30% body fat but without a muscular foundation? Should I need to build muscle first or cut? Because if I cut I may lose even more muscle mass…
02:30 what if your focus is just busting your ass in the gym as hard as you can and feeding your body good food? Won't your body naturally regulate, and still build muscle due to the stimulation from the gym? That's what my body does when I get fat. I can work out for 3 months and my weight will not change, but yet I've clearly gained muscle and lost fat - the body composition has changed. You are on a caloric deficit but what if your body pulls the necessary energy needed from your excess fat tissue that its burning off?
Ok so I'm 210 pounds 5'6 I lost 50 a year ago to get down to this weight.. I still have a lot of fat to lose. I finally got my diet right I work my ass off in the gym, I start with a little hitt, for a warm-up. Then I do super set's arms, chest×4 and back. 4 sets of each with control and good form explosive and everything. I still can't lose weight. What exercise exactly do you mean by leaning down. Thanks for your time. Great stuff 👍 peace
I have a theory that when you're in a deficit or even maintenance calories for a lower activity level , and the deficit is less or equal to your bodies maximum fat utilising capability at a given body fat range, you will add muscle whilst losing fat as long as protein is adequite. If you are fat you are already in a surplus calories(bulking) but your fat utilisation will decrease as you lose fat and adding muscle in a deficit will become impossible (natural athletes) if the deficit is too large.
Its body recomping. Its slower but can work. It works better the more fat you have. Its what i do myself so that i can gain muscle, lose fat, and never feel too hungry. Slow but certainly working. Also good because there are no dramatic shifts in diet over time.
So basicly I was fat was 214 lbs at Christmas lots of cardio and calisthenics now im 170 waaaay stronger waaaaay leaner but im definitely taking beginning gains into account havnt been in a gym for years iv been working out at home and hiking prepping for mnt goat hunts, did 8 days this year so far no shooter billys lots of nanny and kids ect a few smaller billys in the 5-6" range but I can hunt goats every year no sence shooting small goats lol
Im about 12% bodyfat but I wanna get down to about 9% so I look super shredded in my midsection. Does having a low bodyfat slow muscle growth. Ive heard its harder to build muscle at lower percentages but I still want to build muscle fast.
Out of all the amio acids that forms a protein molecule, L-leucine is the first one to be "eaten" in a deficit, since you can find it in abundance. So the logical thing to do, is to supplement it, and have increased levels in your blood stream, thus increasing the percentage of muscle maintainance. It's metabolite HMB is better at maintaining muscle, but it is limited. You can't be on 1000kcal deficit and expect 5g of bcaa to help you in any way..
I'm 145 5 feet 8 inches. I feel like my weight is where if needs to be. I want to be in a calorie surplus to gain muscle but I have a fear of gaining fat. Definitely need some education on this.
@Universal Law i work out 6 days a week And I have definitely noticed the scale going up im sure its muscle gain though Because I see and feel no fat 😅. My diet is mostly veggies and lean protein
If you want to gaim weight you will have to be in a calorie surplus and dont worry about the fat gain just remember these words "more cushion for the pushion" 😉
I heard some guy lost 12kg in just one month by following diet plan from *Next Level Diet*, so I tried that too. Although I didn't lose that much, I could say this thing really works and it's definitely worth trying
The video was cool 👍 Just keeping it real , No hate. At some parts he has no idea what he’s talking about Do what IFBB Mens Physique and Mens Classic physique bodybuilder’s use. To gain muscle and loose fat at the same time. This is how you build muscle on a calorie deficit. Do your best to get an estimate of you BMI. Then from there do your best to estimate eating at a slight calorie deficit with 1g of protein per body weight. Do progressive overload trining. Train everybody part 2x a week with 30 min of daily cardio on the elliptical. Spread you meals out during the day 4-5 meals, with every meal containing protein to produce protein synthesis throughout the day. This is called main gaining. It’s way more effective then bulking and cutting. I agree with him we’re both not a fan of bulking
Energy is not the only requirement for muscle synthesis. To be in a anabolic state, you need a certain enzyme (m-Tor) to be active, elevated testosterone levels, and other factors such as cortisol, ampk enzyme as low as possible. If you want to burn energy (and this lose fat), you need to shift from an anabolic state, to a catabolic state, ergo low m-Tor, high ampk. So it's not that the body can't use energy from fat to supply its own muscle synthesis needs, its because he can't, due to the different metabolic state. Hope that answers your question :)
Isn't a calorific surplus just calories you don't need, surplus to requiment. Do away with that surplus and you won't gain fat in the first place. Find the balance between burning fat and building muscle is a matter of trial and error.
I tried building muscle on a calorie deficit and it didn’t work so I had a 200,000 calorie shake and shat all over the ground and shouted welcome to my world That’s the one
If we assume you are 200 lbs intermediate lifter that is not that close to genetic potential, has bodyfat from 15%-20% and has maintenance calories of 3000 and if that same lifter starts eating 1700 calories per day, he will lose hefty amount of fat while struggle to maintain muscle mass. If a lifter decides to eat around 2400 calories, he will gain muscle mass on very slow pace while lossing some amount of fat. If a lifter decides to eat around 3000 calories, he will gain muscle at much more rapid phase but he probably wont lose or gain any fat. If a lifter decides to eat 3300 calories he will build muscle at very optimal rate while gaining fat. If a lifter decides to eat around 4000 calories he is probably building muscle at the maximal rate genetics can offer to him but is also gaining big amounts of fat. Numbers are imagined, but they can still stand pretty closely. Just pointing fact that everything has its tradeoff. Want to lose fat and still gain mass. Go on slight deficit, but be aware that muscle gain definetly wont be optimal. Want to gain muscle mass as fast as possible? Go strong suficit but be aware that there is gonna be hefty amount of what that will be in need of shrreding.
i wish the video was 5 minute longer.. just got to the part relavant to me.. I have dieted down to 20% BF (Dexa) , but weigh a paltry 155 pounds (was 195 at 30% BF) .. now i am in a fix.. should i give it a break to gain back a few pounds of muscle before i diet down again to early teen BF levels ? or just try to get to lower BF right now anyway...but that would mean ending up as a 140 pound weasel.. lol.. help Thibs!!!!!
Love the videos Man! I wish I could remember who put out the study. I might be able to find it somewhere.anyways it was a study done on natural athletes and showed even in a caloric deficit on highly-trained athletes they could still put on muscle while losing body fat but they had to do it so damn slow it might not be as efficient as going either way. But if you can do it natural I'm pretty sure you can do it the other way around. I have managed to a few times being enhanced with sarms especially when I used cardarine or 9009 it seemed to free up a bunch of calories to go into the muscle building process it almost made it easy. I'm naturally a Fatboy to was really surprised.I was using four different songs at one time hitting it from several angles and I could not put on body fat if I tried and I was still putting on muscle. Again though that's chemically enhanced on sarms and mk677 plus cardarine and sr9009. I could do in a week what would take me a month to do otherwise. I did this for about two months so I might have experienced I plateauing effect after that I don't know. but two months is a hell of an advantage. Again like your videos and happy New year my friend. PS. Try gaining muscle while losing body fat using cardarine and sr9009. It's an amazing difference my friend.

You won't gain muscle at an optimal rate- but as long as training is unhindered, some muscle gain is typically possible
But the body doesn't build new muscle until it fully recovers that which was lost in the workout. Once the recovery process has completed, your body then overcompensate.

So what should one do??

Im about 12% bodyfat but I wanna get down to about 9% so I look super shredded in my midsection. Does having a low bodyfat slow muscle growth. Ive heard its harder to build muscle at lower percentages but I still want to build muscle fast.
Building muscle or bulking is better at lower body fats.
What's up with the stick?
Do BCAAs (in conjunction with protein) help in maintaining muscles on a caloric deficit?

I agree with him we’re both not a fan of bulking
If the body needs extra calories for muscle building can't it just use stored fat as energy? If so that would mean you can gain muscle on a deficit.
Energy is not the only requirement for muscle synthesis. To be in a anabolic state, you need a certain enzyme (m-Tor) to be active, elevated testosterone levels, and other factors such as cortisol, ampk enzyme as low as possible. If you want to burn energy (and this lose fat), you need to shift from an anabolic state, to a catabolic state, ergo low m-Tor, high ampk. So it's not that the body can't use energy from fat to supply its own muscle synthesis needs, its because he can't, due to the different metabolic state.
Hope that answers your question :)

Again though that's chemically enhanced on sarms and mk677 plus cardarine and sr9009. I could do in a week what would take me a month to do otherwise. I did this for about two months so I might have experienced I plateauing effect after that I don't know. but two months is a hell of an advantage. Again like your videos and happy New year my friend.
PS. Try gaining muscle while losing body fat using cardarine and sr9009. It's an amazing difference my friend.
