Hi All! Thank you for your comments. If you are reading this I'd love to know if you liked that we added information about the other different types of muscle tissue, or if you would have rather us just get into the skeletal muscle only. Thanks!
I like to know more about sourness after a workout. Why it happens, what does it mean, is it good or bad. Why it goes away faster if you workout or stretch after a day of rest but gets worse in 2nd or 3rd day if you don't workout at all.
Added info helps to differentiate different systems use of different muscles. This is important for a total understanding of our physiological adaptations. TY for your years of vital information.

I've always been a strength guy. Where people go wrong is they lift heavy too often and don't let their joints recover. I may only lift heavy once every 10-17 days. I do a lot of cardio or sport specific stuff in between and throw in a lower weight workout in between that might be closer to bodybuilders
can always test raw strength with isometric of some sort or static hold or even them hand grip crushers. same power with jumping for height or something

This is perfect video for leave my comment. I was skinny guy before 7 months, but now I weigh 200lbs. In last 7 months, I exercised 4 times per week (at the gym), I increased daily intake of carbs and proteins, and I took meal plan for gaining muscle from website Onlymeal. In first month I gained 8lbs and in next 2 months I gained almost 20lbs of lean muscles, no fat. Now, I am happy with my body shape and strenght.
That's awesome, and so happy for you. Mine was like, 115 lb on July I feel weak from start exercising but now 115 lb my abs is damn hard. Still I don't increase my intake much, I more concern on being lean than bulk, but still be able to carry 20 lb of gas tank without problem.
That's awesome bro. I also started going to gym few weeks ago, and now I am looking for meal plan. Everyone I ask in the gym also suggests OnlyMeal, so I will definitely get that one.

I once saw a guy at the gym successfully lifting the most ridiculously heavy weight. If you saw him in the street, you would think he doesn't even go to the gym. He looks like an ordinary guy without much muscle mass at all. Really goes to show the difference between strength vs. hypertrophy.
While there’s certainly some ridiculously strong “normal sized” people, that guy would be stronger if he had more muscle. That said, we all have genetic traits that create our upper end of what our bodies can carry.
His skeletal frame is probably smaller and he wore a sweatshirt or similar I assume. If the weights were indeed heavy, he probably does have pronounced muscles when he takes his shirt/pants of.
All these years I thought muscle building involved tearing of old muscle to rebuild newer and stronger ones aka “the burn” but it’s the same muscle all along. Thank you for enlightening me!
As someone who worked with histopathology for 6 years, it never ceased to amaze-me how a net of interlaced muscular strings can hold a "pressurized liquid" without leaks for decades non-stop!

@@c.m.166 fair enough I did miss that, they explained it very well although I would still say that less than 10 seconds is probably giving it a little bit less credit than it's due
All my exercises are 5 sets, 30s rest between sets, 1s positive, 3s negative per rep. TUT and rest periods are precise as I listen to a metronome at 60bpm (ticking every sec), which also helps maintain perfect form. It also means all my exercises are repeatable so I can track progress in the knowledge I'm not cheating (for example speeding up the reps and not making true progress). Although my rep ranges are in the hypertrophy range, the short rest period and TUT tune my exercises more towards endurance. It works for me, I never get injuries, joint pain etc. I'm addicted to perfecting the exercises and making progress, and not ego lifting and packing on muscle and the risks associated with it. Everyone's different. All that matters is what you are interested in and what motivates you.
Been going to the gym for 20 years (natural), at my peak, i was 92kg with less than 10% body fat and was comfortably pressing 50kg dumbbells for 12+reps....but it isn't sustainable. I was up at 4am and in the gym 1.5hrs a day, 6 days a week I was in constant pain in my joints, was taking pain killers to sleep and if i moved quickly I would get shooting pains, but always wanted to try and get bigger and stronger so thought I would just live with the pain. Since I became a father I realised I needed to take the ego out of it and look at a better way of doing it. Especially being a dad took priority and don't have half as much free time, I needed a different approach. Im now testing the "Mike Mentzer routine" of less time and weight, but more slow control and intensity. I've not tested it long enough to really rate it, and obviously I've lost a bit of muscle with not living in the gym (and also age) but I still get muscle pump and fatigue etc...but just realised the other day, I've got no more pain! No more pain pills, I'm also able to move easier and play with my little boy more. So I think I'm done with the heavy ego lifting 🙃
Every workout you get stronger and progress further , i also noticed that differently from high volume, where i was having pains here and there almost constantly, with HIT Its all gone, after a workout It may happen to feel something in a joint sometimes, but the days after, even if your muscles are fatigued the rest of the body is great!
I believe as long as you control the eccentric contraction that is the best way to stimulate muscle, based on studies but I cannot remember the name of the article. It basically stated that the concentric must be explosive in nature and eccentric controlled - the more controlled and slower stretch you give the muscle on eccentric the better results you should see in terms of strength gain/maintenance and hypertrophy
And this is why I hate researching specifics on exercising and bodybuilding. One person gives a detailed description of what they do, and the results they feel, then someone (as equally as random) comes along and gives a ‘nuh-uh’. Seriously, if he’s wrong, and there’s something better, then lay out your case. Tell us why your undescribed method is better.
@@christophegroulx7816 that can't be right and sounds like ego-lifting. Mike Mentzer himself preached that the muscle only starts GROWING after it's done RECOVERING. if you're in pain all the time you're never fully recovered and therefore you cannot be growing either. he was also concerned with systemic fatigue. proper rest is when the whole body rests. if you're training legs on monday and arms on tuesday you don't count tuesday as a rest day for your legs. you're still fatiguing your body so growth (in the whole body) is being delayed by that. these are all claims by Mentzer, I am merely repeating them.
Yeah… I shaved my head. I couldn’t see going through any of the things that were offerred when male pattern baldness started. So I chose to embrace it. Never looked back.
Muscular endurance can also be trained separately from strength and hypertrophy. In strength you get more neural adaptations that can better recruit muscle cells, in endurance you get more blood vessels that can deliver more oxygen and flush out products made from reactions in the muscle to generate force.
Anything, Everything & Whatever is in between!! Anatomy, Physiology, Kinesiology and Biology are endlessly fascinating! Yes, I often think of my “tubular” cat alimentary canals: In & (soon) Out! Good dinner table conversation on an important meet and greet with the new in-laws… “You know, Ms. _____, that casserole really fills my hollows!”
Depends on which fitness influencers. This guy is far surperior to a Vshred, but far inferior to a Dr Mike Isratel. He basically reccomended resting 60-90 seconds between sets for hypetrophy which is obviously pretty stupid compared to resting 2-5 minutes. This has been proven many times, yet wasnt included in the video.
theres an improvement in strength without an increase in size with the initial strength gains, improved activation of motor units that werent activated before.
Just remember that IRESTORE doesn't block the production of 5-alpha reductase and thereby stop the conversion of DHT. Just like minoxidil, an LLT-cap will promote blood circulation and prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair follicles. You will still lose hair at the same rate as before (even though it might not look like it at first). If you want to stop hair loss, you will need to use finasteride and, in some cases, dutasteride. Then u can regain ground with minoxidil, the LLT-cap (look for a cheaper option) and microneedling. You can also start using the ketokonazol shampoo aswell. But if you're contempt with just stopping hairloss. Finasteride and sometimes ketokonazol shampoo is enough.
I would love to get a better understanding of the differences in muscle formation, such as what's happening in muscle development between powerlifters, American footballer, soccer players, and runners. All of them are strong but their muscles are built differently.
There's relative strength and absolute strength. Gymnasts have the former. Throwing athletes and heavy Olympic Lifters have more of the latter. It's an important distinction to make.
Thank you so much. I have been a gym goer for decades. This is the best explanation of the differences that while I have using my personal experience to steer my routines.
The way I understand it, strength training helps muscle contract more forcefully with the downside of less repetition whereas, body building training helps muscle continue contracting and not fatigue. This means rest periods and volume are longer or shorter depending on your goals. Both results in increased strength but a bigger muscle cell is not necessarily required to generate more force. I have got a question though. If a muscle cell size increases, wouldn't that make it harder on the cell to function because substances are diffusing over a longer distance and myofibrils are longer? How does a cell adapts to increased fluid content?
This is great, I love learning on this channel to further help my clients. I am a massage therapist who primarily works with athletes of various types, including some bodybuilders, powerlifters, and a lot of athletic performers (circus artists, dancers, stunt performers, etc).
17:16 it's occurs due to stress in muscle fibre which is produced due to resistance training.... and yes hypertrophy is a reversible process, once you stop training it cells will become normal after some time
When I clicked on this video I was not expecting such an amazing explanation! I’ll keep coming back to it given there is so much valuable information to absorb! Thank you so much for putting this together!❤
A similar video on the physiology of flexibility training would be interesting, increased muscle length / maximum extension is associated with longer life spans and generally increased strength.
Love your channel 💜 At some point could you cover hypermobility? I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so, from what I understand, every bit of collagen in my body is extra stretchy. I believe a lot of people know they are, or know someone who is, "double jointed" (misnomer) but don't realize that this is affecting every part of their body except blood, bone and brain tissue. I think your audience would find this topic interesting. Thank you for all that you do 💜
I'm hypermobile too, as are some family members so a video would be great. What I'd love to understand better is why we see a corelation between hypermobility/eds & neurodivergence.
Thanks so much for this video! I’ve always wondered about the difference between strength and hypertrophy, and now I have a much clearer understanding of how to apply both in my training. Very helpful!
Thats not true though...more muscle equals more strength..mass moves mass. If you build a kg of muscle there is 1000% chance you got stronger. The difference is that if someone trains for strength ,his muscle is stronger than someone who is not, even if the first is lighter in weight.
If Skeletal muscle regeneration is through scar tissue replacement, then if someone loses his muscle due to various reasons like diseases or fasting, then will he not be able to gain back those lost skeletal muscle cells?
One thing that I've learned over the years of gaining muscle strength and then losing it (various reasons) repeatedly is that the higher reps exercises conditions muscles better for strength in the long run. I'm a small human (1.64m tall and just below 60kg). I've been active all my life and in 2013 I started to lift for strength. 2014 my circumstances changed and I couldn't lift anymore. I lost most of my gained strength in less than 4 months. Later, 2018 I started to lift for strength again and due to illness restricting my exercise, I lost strength really quickly again. 2022 I started working as a movement education coach and have slowly built up my strength over 2 years. I was ill last year again (chronic disease) and after 4 months I returned and lost only a very small percentage of my strength. I joined my friend at the gym the other day and I can lift heavier loads now than I could when I was gyming for strength. Just by doing little bits every day at work rather than pushing my 1 rep max like I used to.
Basically, manual workers tend to be strong for their size because of the dynamic movements, as opposed to isolated movements. Thanks for the info this was great
Awesome - I bet most of the populous would 'get' more visible muscles, if they simply lost the fat covering them. lol Cheers for the upload and for sharing it.
@@CraigGordon-v6i Supressing the appetite is not good, especially when it comes down to muscle retention, preservation. If you have no appetite, then I guess your body will have no incentive to make you exercise / move - compounding the demise not only for muscle - but for the individuals overall health, heart, lungs, lymphatic system, mood... the list is probably endless.
I cannot thank you guys enough for making this video and teaching us all of this valuable information thank you may god bless you with more knowledge and health ❤

12:4613:4914:2115:1016:07 Strenght-based training equals nervous system adaptation (enhance motor coordination) which in turn results in recruitment of more motor units at once.
What is the cause of the strength that develops in calisthenics and gymnasts? These are people who can do amazing things like balance their whole body horizontally on one hand or vertically with a few fingers.
Excellent source. You are covering the essentials most fitness icons fail to touch with a few exceptions like the house of hypertrophy. Although you did not touch on strengthening tendons as what strongmen and mountain climbers work on with isometrics and slow essentrics but I would think that could be a video to itself about tendon strength, health and injury prevention/repairs or what really happens.
Solid video! But what you have to keep in mind is that strength and size are more correlated than many people think. Yes, someone can be strong and not be very muscular and someone can be very muscular but not be that strong. But, those are two different individuals. If the same individual person gets stronger they WILL be more muscular and if they get more muscular they WILL be stronger. And by the way, strength isn't measured solely by the weight you can lift in the powerlifts. Strength is also displayed as the weight being lifted in a stable machine exercise, where the neural components don't come into play nearly as much. If you get stronger at those exercises you are absolutely building muscle. Increase your 6 rep max in any exercise over a long time period and your hypertrophy gains will be great as well. If your 6 RM doesn't increase don't expect much growth.
The hugely bulky guys are usually on PEDs. It takes a LOT of dedication to actually get "bulky" by lifting and staying natural. IFBB guys, guys like Dwayne Johnson, Christ Hemsworth, John Cena are all juicing to a greater or lesser degree.
Strength, endurance, stamina, durability is my goal. I want to increase my energy to do strong things and become more durable to continue or repeat that day or another. I like to feel like I worked my muscles so I do eccentric movements with heavier weight, dead hangs to increase my grip and other nice things. The CoVid lockdowns with brief periods where gym was possible taught me how to get back into shape, like 2 or 3 days for a month is enough. I managed to get myself to stay on the elliptical for 45 minutes and I have gotten more energetic. Though you have to have motivation to go really fast for longer; I usually have max resistance. My heart is between 160 and 170 bpm but it can be 120 bpm, it depend how easy going or determined I feel. It was hard the first, second or third time doing 45 minutes but I no longer thinking about it, I adapted and I could keep going after 45 minutes. I am not out of breath at all; I can sustain. I am a heavy person; like 132 kg and 171cm height. I don't want to be slim or too heavy. But I know when I was 156 kg and miraculously lost 24 kg in about a year drinking plenty of water and having a caloric deficit around 400 kcal, and watching old school MacGyver and other things, that fitness is a requirement and mobility is important, being able to walk and visit places. I was 125 kg not too long ago, but I did not want to be slim. Going to the gym counteracts the issues with being heavy. Single leg squats are good for mobility. I take vitamins, theanine, rhodiola, safron, ergothionine, DHA/EHA omega 3 close to a gram each, astaxanthin. At least 750ml of water is good for hydration each visit to the kitchen and the mental freshness. Coffee with half milk is nice in the morning, green tea half milk. Also Bolognese, whole foods, honey greek yogurt. I like to get my calorie needs out of the way. I manage my focus and relaxation. I walk the dog every morning now at 7am abouts. I do feel great. The fitness helps.
6:20 You can manipulate your heart rate to go lower by taking a deep breath and exhaling with a thin stream of air for a long time. Something about reducing preload by having a positive pressure in your thorax. I can't remember the details, but it works.
Thanks so much, super cool video. I do calisthenics, I'm ripped, but you can't really tell when I'm all dressed up. It's funny though, during workouts people with bigger muscle size looked at my exercise routine and tried the same exercise but failed and then asked me why I could do that and they not 🤣
There's NO direct bloodflow to tendons, which is why it takes longer. Tendons are trained during regular resistance training, but plyometrics and isometrics are known to place higher tension on the tendons themselves. There you go, saved you watching a video
@@topg2820no hypertrophy could be done with just 5 reps 2 sets. Mechanical tension is what causes growth. Once your fibers feel that tension they will create a chemical reaction that creates DNA transcription which starts muscle protein synthesis. Higher reps causes more fatigue which takes off resources into growing.
Another theory as to the magnitude of changes in both size and strength is the genetic ceiling theory. This is the idea that considering there is a limited amount of strength to be gained, there is a proportional limit to the size a muscle can gain. After all, it would not be beneficial for muscle to be able to grow infinitely, such as having a forearm that is two miles in diameter. Thus, as one gets closer to the maximal strength the muscle is capable of gaining, the size gains proportionately slow.
Doing Kegels (squeezing the pubococcegeus muscles like you're holding in urine) is indeed linked to more athletic erections. You can also lay wet handtowels as a weight during kegels
Great video. And on the flip side, how does the body / muscle do things differently when it comes to endurance ? Going for a long cycle, for example, and the different adaptations between all out efforts for 1 min, 20mins and longer ? Muscle soreness as mentioned in another comment would be interesting, and from a strength and endrance point of view.

All my exercises are 5 sets, 30s rest between sets, 1s positive, 3s negative per rep. TUT and rest periods are precise as I listen to a metronome at 60bpm (ticking every sec), which also helps maintain perfect form. It also means all my exercises are repeatable so I can track progress in the knowledge I'm not cheating (for example speeding up the reps and not making true progress). Although my rep ranges are in the hypertrophy range, the short rest period and TUT tune my exercises more towards endurance. It works for me, I never get injuries, joint pain etc. I'm addicted to perfecting the exercises and making progress, and not ego lifting and packing on muscle and the risks associated with it. Everyone's different. All that matters is what you are interested in and what motivates you.
This video came at the right time, I'm on hypertrophy program currently and was just thinking of switching to strength-focused program
Glad the timing worked out!
@@theanatomylab "worked out" I see what you did there 😏😏

Renaissance Periodization, Dr. Mike Israetel
@@corneliusthecrowtamer1937 "slow, as if another!"
Been going to the gym for 20 years (natural), at my peak, i was 92kg with less than 10% body fat and was comfortably pressing 50kg dumbbells for 12+reps....but it isn't sustainable. I was up at 4am and in the gym 1.5hrs a day, 6 days a week
I was in constant pain in my joints, was taking pain killers to sleep and if i moved quickly I would get shooting pains, but always wanted to try and get bigger and stronger so thought I would just live with the pain.
Since I became a father I realised I needed to take the ego out of it and look at a better way of doing it. Especially being a dad took priority and don't have half as much free time, I needed a different approach.
Im now testing the "Mike Mentzer routine" of less time and weight, but more slow control and intensity.
I've not tested it long enough to really rate it, and obviously I've lost a bit of muscle with not living in the gym (and also age) but I still get muscle pump and fatigue etc...but just realised the other day, I've got no more pain! No more pain pills, I'm also able to move easier and play with my little boy more. So I think I'm done with the heavy ego lifting 🙃
Every workout you get stronger and progress further , i also noticed that differently from high volume, where i was having pains here and there almost constantly, with HIT Its all gone, after a workout It may happen to feel something in a joint sometimes, but the days after, even if your muscles are fatigued the rest of the body is great!
I believe as long as you control the eccentric contraction that is the best way to stimulate muscle, based on studies but I cannot remember the name of the article. It basically stated that the concentric must be explosive in nature and eccentric controlled - the more controlled and slower stretch you give the muscle on eccentric the better results you should see in terms of strength gain/maintenance and hypertrophy
Trust me, if you were doing the mike mentzer routine for real you would feel like dying all the time
And this is why I hate researching specifics on exercising and bodybuilding. One person gives a detailed description of what they do, and the results they feel, then someone (as equally as random) comes along and gives a ‘nuh-uh’.
Seriously, if he’s wrong, and there’s something better, then lay out your case. Tell us why your undescribed method is better.
@@christophegroulx7816 that can't be right and sounds like ego-lifting. Mike Mentzer himself preached that the muscle only starts GROWING after it's done RECOVERING. if you're in pain all the time you're never fully recovered and therefore you cannot be growing either. he was also concerned with systemic fatigue. proper rest is when the whole body rests. if you're training legs on monday and arms on tuesday you don't count tuesday as a rest day for your legs. you're still fatiguing your body so growth (in the whole body) is being delayed by that. these are all claims by Mentzer, I am merely repeating them.
Best example for this comparison is Anatoly, smaller than many bodybuilders yet lift more than them

Muscular endurance can also be trained separately from strength and hypertrophy. In strength you get more neural adaptations that can better recruit muscle cells, in endurance you get more blood vessels that can deliver more oxygen and flush out products made from reactions in the muscle to generate force.

No thanks
Depends on which fitness influencers.
This guy is far surperior to a Vshred, but far inferior to a Dr Mike Isratel.
He basically reccomended resting 60-90 seconds between sets for hypetrophy which is obviously pretty stupid compared to resting 2-5 minutes. This has been proven many times, yet wasnt included in the video.

@@theanatomylab absolutely and I get my two kids to watch them also, the human body is so very complex, I enjoy learning all about it.
theres an improvement in strength without an increase in size with the initial strength gains, improved activation of motor units that werent activated before.
1. I’d like to train both for strength and hypertrophy
2. Muscles are being built mainly because of training and nutrition
Just remember that IRESTORE doesn't block the production of 5-alpha reductase and thereby stop the conversion of DHT. Just like minoxidil, an LLT-cap will promote blood circulation and prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair follicles. You will still lose hair at the same rate as before (even though it might not look like it at first). If you want to stop hair loss, you will need to use finasteride and, in some cases, dutasteride. Then u can regain ground with minoxidil, the LLT-cap (look for a cheaper option) and microneedling. You can also start using the ketokonazol shampoo aswell. But if you're contempt with just stopping hairloss. Finasteride and sometimes ketokonazol shampoo is enough.
I would love to get a better understanding of the differences in muscle formation, such as what's happening in muscle development between powerlifters, American footballer, soccer players, and runners. All of them are strong but their muscles are built differently.
No, that makes no sense, their muscles are built the same.
No their not bro powerlifters have different muscles then football players
This channel makes me happy. Keep up the good work, sir.
You can develop strength and muscle. Maybe not body builder size, but gymnasts are a great example
Some people restrict their diet to not grow
@@rian0xFFF some people don't take steroids
There's relative strength and absolute strength. Gymnasts have the former. Throwing athletes and heavy Olympic Lifters have more of the latter. It's an important distinction to make.
@@dramm33Most people don't.
Gymnasts are nearly entirely isometric based in their training
Thank you so much. I have been a gym goer for decades. This is the best explanation of the differences that while I have using my personal experience to steer my routines.
The way I understand it, strength training helps muscle contract more forcefully with the downside of less repetition whereas, body building training helps muscle continue contracting and not fatigue. This means rest periods and volume are longer or shorter depending on your goals. Both results in increased strength but a bigger muscle cell is not necessarily required to generate more force.
I have got a question though. If a muscle cell size increases, wouldn't that make it harder on the cell to function because substances are diffusing over a longer distance and myofibrils are longer? How does a cell adapts to increased fluid content?
This is great, I love learning on this channel to further help my clients. I am a massage therapist who primarily works with athletes of various types, including some bodybuilders, powerlifters, and a lot of athletic performers (circus artists, dancers, stunt performers, etc).
Thank you for the knowledge ❤
No problem! Thanks for watching!
17:16 it's occurs due to stress in muscle fibre which is produced due to resistance training.... and yes hypertrophy is a reversible process, once you stop training it cells will become normal after some time
When I clicked on this video I was not expecting such an amazing explanation! I’ll keep coming back to it given there is so much valuable information to absorb! Thank you so much for putting this together!❤
A similar video on the physiology of flexibility training would be interesting, increased muscle length / maximum extension is associated with longer life spans and generally increased strength.
Love your channel 💜 At some point could you cover hypermobility? I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so, from what I understand, every bit of collagen in my body is extra stretchy. I believe a lot of people know they are, or know someone who is, "double jointed" (misnomer) but don't realize that this is affecting every part of their body except blood, bone and brain tissue. I think your audience would find this topic interesting. Thank you for all that you do 💜
I had a client with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.
I'm hypermobile too, as are some family members so a video would be great. What I'd love to understand better is why we see a corelation between hypermobility/eds & neurodivergence.
Thanks so much for this video! I’ve always wondered about the difference between strength and hypertrophy, and now I have a much clearer understanding of how to apply both in my training. Very helpful!

Thats not true though...more muscle equals more strength..mass moves mass.
If you build a kg of muscle there is 1000% chance you got stronger.
The difference is that if someone trains for strength ,his muscle is stronger than someone who is not, even if the first is lighter in weight.

Learning how sarcomeres work is what made me fall in love with physiology
As a computer science major, hypertrophy and hyperplasia is pretty similar to vertical scaling vs horizontal scaling
If Skeletal muscle regeneration is through scar tissue replacement, then if someone loses his muscle due to various reasons like diseases or fasting, then will he not be able to gain back those lost skeletal muscle cells?
Insane topic! Thanks for share this hypertroinformation with us!
One thing that I've learned over the years of gaining muscle strength and then losing it (various reasons) repeatedly is that the higher reps exercises conditions muscles better for strength in the long run.
I'm a small human (1.64m tall and just below 60kg). I've been active all my life and in 2013 I started to lift for strength. 2014 my circumstances changed and I couldn't lift anymore. I lost most of my gained strength in less than 4 months.
Later, 2018 I started to lift for strength again and due to illness restricting my exercise, I lost strength really quickly again.
2022 I started working as a movement education coach and have slowly built up my strength over 2 years. I was ill last year again (chronic disease) and after 4 months I returned and lost only a very small percentage of my strength. I joined my friend at the gym the other day and I can lift heavier loads now than I could when I was gyming for strength.
Just by doing little bits every day at work rather than pushing my 1 rep max like I used to.
Wow , Awesome upload gonna hit the gym after this !
You should
Basically, manual workers tend to be strong for their size because of the dynamic movements, as opposed to isolated movements. Thanks for the info this was great

Great point. I wonder how many people on the new weight loss drugs realise their muscles are wasting away.
@@CraigGordon-v6i Supressing the appetite is not good, especially when it comes down to muscle retention, preservation.
If you have no appetite, then I guess your body will have no incentive to make you exercise / move - compounding the demise not only for muscle - but for the individuals overall health, heart, lungs, lymphatic system, mood... the list is probably endless.

12:46 13:49 14:21 15:10 16:07 Strenght-based training equals nervous system adaptation (enhance motor coordination) which in turn results in recruitment of more motor units at once.
Great info. You missed the 3rd very important muscular adaptation: endurance.
What is the cause of the strength that develops in calisthenics and gymnasts? These are people who can do amazing things like balance their whole body horizontally on one hand or vertically with a few fingers.
Good timing just started doing a strength workout at home.
Spot on info,I built my frame styled in bodybuilding and ppl were under the impression I lift heavy to build that size which I clearly dont
Should do a video on synthol and the damage it does. I’ve always wondered how the body gets messed up on that garbage
Excellent source. You are covering the essentials most fitness icons fail to touch with a few exceptions like the house of hypertrophy. Although you did not touch on strengthening tendons as what strongmen and mountain climbers work on with isometrics and slow essentrics but I would think that could be a video to itself about tendon strength, health and injury prevention/repairs or what really happens.
man that sponsorship really disappointed me
😂do you suffer from hair loss?
@@joshuachampion8765 that must be it
Haha I know what you mean
Yeah, as if he doesn't know that it doesn't work...
Solid video! But what you have to keep in mind is that strength and size are more correlated than many people think. Yes, someone can be strong and not be very muscular and someone can be very muscular but not be that strong. But, those are two different individuals. If the same individual person gets stronger they WILL be more muscular and if they get more muscular they WILL be stronger.
And by the way, strength isn't measured solely by the weight you can lift in the powerlifts. Strength is also displayed as the weight being lifted in a stable machine exercise, where the neural components don't come into play nearly as much. If you get stronger at those exercises you are absolutely building muscle.
Increase your 6 rep max in any exercise over a long time period and your hypertrophy gains will be great as well. If your 6 RM doesn't increase don't expect much growth.
Would rather have strength over bulky size
So do most females in men. Men think females like giant men, they don't. Unless they are also weird body builders.
The hugely bulky guys are usually on PEDs. It takes a LOT of dedication to actually get "bulky" by lifting and staying natural. IFBB guys, guys like Dwayne Johnson, Christ Hemsworth, John Cena are all juicing to a greater or lesser degree.
The usual great video 👏
Strength, endurance, stamina, durability is my goal. I want to increase my energy to do strong things and become more durable to continue or repeat that day or another. I like to feel like I worked my muscles so I do eccentric movements with heavier weight, dead hangs to increase my grip and other nice things. The CoVid lockdowns with brief periods where gym was possible taught me how to get back into shape, like 2 or 3 days for a month is enough.
I managed to get myself to stay on the elliptical for 45 minutes and I have gotten more energetic. Though you have to have motivation to go really fast for longer; I usually have max resistance. My heart is between 160 and 170 bpm but it can be 120 bpm, it depend how easy going or determined I feel. It was hard the first, second or third time doing 45 minutes but I no longer thinking about it, I adapted and I could keep going after 45 minutes. I am not out of breath at all; I can sustain.
I am a heavy person; like 132 kg and 171cm height. I don't want to be slim or too heavy. But I know when I was 156 kg and miraculously lost 24 kg in about a year drinking plenty of water and having a caloric deficit around 400 kcal, and watching old school MacGyver and other things, that fitness is a requirement and mobility is important, being able to walk and visit places. I was 125 kg not too long ago, but I did not want to be slim. Going to the gym counteracts the issues with being heavy. Single leg squats are good for mobility.
I take vitamins, theanine, rhodiola, safron, ergothionine, DHA/EHA omega 3 close to a gram each, astaxanthin. At least 750ml of water is good for hydration each visit to the kitchen and the mental freshness. Coffee with half milk is nice in the morning, green tea half milk. Also Bolognese, whole foods, honey greek yogurt. I like to get my calorie needs out of the way. I manage my focus and relaxation. I walk the dog every morning now at 7am abouts.
I do feel great. The fitness helps.
Good Content!
6:20 You can manipulate your heart rate to go lower by taking a deep breath and exhaling with a thin stream of air for a long time. Something about reducing preload by having a positive pressure in your thorax. I can't remember the details, but it works.
Thanks so much, super cool video. I do calisthenics, I'm ripped, but you can't really tell when I'm all dressed up. It's funny though, during workouts people with bigger muscle size looked at my exercise routine and tried the same exercise but failed and then asked me why I could do that and they not 🤣
When explaining strength over power, I often talk about recruitment of fibers over the capabilities of what you have available.
Wtf I didn't know a single muscle cell is a muscle fiber. So one cell can be up to 30cm long (Sartorius muscle in the leg). Insane
Guess how long some nerves are
14:48 the 60-90s is a bit outdated longer 2-3min resting intervals have been proven to be better at muscle building

you learn something new every day thanks for the info bro I watched the psilocybin vid the other day too where did you find all the stuff at?
could you do a video on tendon recovery and why it takes longer compared to muscle and bones?
There's NO direct bloodflow to tendons, which is why it takes longer. Tendons are trained during regular resistance training, but plyometrics and isometrics are known to place higher tension on the tendons themselves. There you go, saved you watching a video
@@RDS_Armwrestling Maybe they're interested in the science behind it rather than just an explanation?
Google
Very informative 👍
Was hoping to learn more about the actual difference between strength and hypertrophy training, but great video! :D
Do some reading then
Hypertrophy - high rep low weight
Strength - low rep high weight
@@topg2820 Yes, I know that. But why is it so? Why does low rep = strength, and mid range rep = size?
@@1unsung971 Was kinda expecting to have it explained since it's literally the title of the video.
@@topg2820no hypertrophy could be done with just 5 reps 2 sets. Mechanical tension is what causes growth. Once your fibers feel that tension they will create a chemical reaction that creates DNA transcription which starts muscle protein synthesis. Higher reps causes more fatigue which takes off resources into growing.
Would be interesting to see you talk about endurance exercise & different muscle fiber types too
Another theory as to the magnitude of changes in both size and strength is the genetic ceiling theory. This is the idea that considering there is a limited amount of strength to be gained, there is a proportional limit to the size a muscle can gain. After all, it would not be beneficial for muscle to be able to grow infinitely, such as having a forearm that is two miles in diameter. Thus, as one gets closer to the maximal strength the muscle is capable of gaining, the size gains proportionately slow.
In a future video could you also cover endurance training and the adaptations that happen there?
Smooth muscles can multiply ? Ok then. Best way to get hyperplasia of the corpus cavernosum smooth muscle ? 🤔
Squeeze til it's purple?
Doing Kegels (squeezing the pubococcegeus muscles like you're holding in urine) is indeed linked to more athletic erections. You can also lay wet handtowels as a weight during kegels

Great video. And on the flip side, how does the body / muscle do things differently when it comes to endurance ? Going for a long cycle, for example, and the different adaptations between all out efforts for 1 min, 20mins and longer ? Muscle soreness as mentioned in another comment would be interesting, and from a strength and endrance point of view.
