I know exactly why I'm not seeing results. I eat healthy -- oatmeal for breakfast every day, vegetable-based meals, fish for protein, white meat for meat needs (sorry vegans, and fruit for dessert while drinking only water (no coffee or alcohol at all) -- and I work out four to six days a week (a solid mix of intense and light, weights and cardio. However, because of my job, I can only get six hours of sleep per night if I'm lucky (it's almost always fewer. That's not enough time for recovery, and that results in plenty of stress hormones being released. That's why, even after a year of following this routine, I'm still at 18-22% body fat (right where I started. Sure, I'm seeing more muscle definition, but I set out on this to lose body fat, not just to see definition. It's downright disappointing.

I'm at 5'6, and have always trained and Dietitian for 300pnds body weight heavy physically fit. Lifting that 500 pound free weight one single time every time. Waking up and jogging no less than two miles and a usual average of 8 miles every morning. 300 bites of food at every meal and 5 quart water intake daily. I pushed myself to the maximum level of endurance that would almost kill me and until -THAT VERY MOMENT! - I never stopped for a breath of relaxation or a smile because I know that in doing this physical therapy I have defeated the majority of the world at that finish line that I physically demand of and from myself, most of all because there's nobody in my sight doing so and everyone in my sight has a bad untrustworthy attitude.

Alright Athlean X guys and gals. Ive been working my ASS off for 5 mnths almost. My body has changed. It is beginning to look a BIT muscular. I started at around 149lbs. And am now at around 156lbs.
But im NOT chiseled. I have 2 top abs. haha the bottom 4, not so much. Should it take THIS long!
Ive been going nuts trying to eat alot. and healthy.
I train sometimes 6 days a week for 45 min or 1 hr.
I reach failure. I push through. It seems I gained WAY more at the beginning! With isolation exercises! I have tried to move to more compound, because I work 10hr. Days 4 days a week.
What in the HELL am I DOING WRONG!
I should be ripped by now from what I read online. So frustrated. Its killing my drive. Help!

Correct. It is a matter of life-time well-being solution. I went to gym, deciding to be stonger at the age of 40 than I was 10 years earlier. I was. So, I decided to be as strong on my 50th birthday as I was 10 years ago. Wrong, I got stronger. Further-on. I decided to be as strong in my 60th birthday. Wrong again, since my power lifting record 392, 5 kg already came at the age of 58. Training is a life-time progress, getting better and better. Current LBM is 120%, while fats are 8, 3%. Looking fwd to my 40th gym anniversary to become even stronger, more flexible, and constantly determined. Keep it up, Jeff-.

The biggest motivation for me to eat healthy was when I made the comment that everyone hears all the time, -I don-t even remember what I ate for breakfast. - So my friend looks at me and says, -Then you definitely don-t remember what you ate all day last Tuesday right? - Of course I didn-t. I didn-t remember what I had for breakfast. So then why the hell was that bag of chips, donut, and fried food so important for you to eat when you can-t even remember you ate it the next day? Been eating healthy ever since and the best part, I like it more than all that garbage I was eating.

Eat real food only just consume plant based whole foods not that man made gmo crap and Ingredients you never heard of. And if you don't know where the source of protein is produced by nature: spirulina has 114gs per cup, sesame flour is 80gs per cup, hemp seeds are 62gs per cup and garbanzo bean flour is 28gs per cup, you can easily consume more protein than your body actually can convert and it'll just be carried over into fat so make good choices and keep it real much love.

It gets so easy when you make small changes and it just becomes your life after a bit. A couple years ago you-d never catch me eating a salad every day, but these days it-s just normal, and I enjoy it. I don-t seem to get sick with colds/flu anywhere near as much since that happened. I-ve also given up crisps, my major downfall and I don-t even wanna go back. That alone made me lose half a stone.

Jeff, you are always asking for suggestions on a video. I would love to see how you progressed over the last 20 years with pictures each year of your progression from the skinny kid you talked about when you were younger to the 40-year-old you are today

Glad I didn't watch this one with my 7 year old son! Jeff drops a couple f-bombs! My son usually watches these Athlean-X videos with me. I can't wait until my son tells his 2nd grade teacher about the dangers of internal rotation during elevation!
