Great stuff Jeff Trusting your ability to follow through is definitely key. At the beginning of my fitness journey I made a promise to myself to go to the gym 6 days a week for a year straight no matter what (excluding a few days with the flu. I even had a formal written workout for the few days of the year that I wouldn't have access to a gym. Even if I was fatigued or injured, I still went to the gym and did something productive just to build that mental fortitude that I would never skip a day due to lack of commitment. Now over a year after that, it isn't even a challenge to maintain 5+ days a week of consistent training because I know that I was able to do even more than that and stick to it without fail. Coupling that with daily weigh ins tracked through excel and I have no excuse not to get to where I want to go. Side note: Going to watch my UCF Knights demolish the Bulls this Friday at the football game; )

Thanks as usual for your insights Jeff For holidays where I can't continue my normal routine, I like to pick another area to focus on so I can still stay active and make progress on something I don't normally give enough time to - skills like flexibility, balance or coordination don't need lots of space or equipment, you can work them while still getting a proper rest at the end of the year, and they can be squeezed into a few minutes in between events or family stuff, if you don't have a chance for a full workout. That keeps me motivated and positive. For food, I get some delicious luxury-type healthy groceries like fancy fruit, nuts, coffee etc, so I can look forward to what I'm eating, without pigging out on low-nutrition rubbish. Happy Thanksgiving to you all

Hi jeff, I've tried several times the push/pull/legs split(5days/week) and I realized that after every workout I feel like I haven't gotten the most out of it. I usually workout about 1h-1h30 max, and I feel like focusing on 1-2 muscle per training day helps me get the most of my workout. I know hitting muscle twice a week is more beneficial for growth, but considering I feel more satisfied after my workouts I think it's worth it. I was wondering if you might have a bit of input or tips for me, and I was also wondering if I lose growth potenial of my muscle by only training each one once a week. Thanks

BRO TIP: The key is to enjoy your time there. I enjoy working out it's fun for me. As Arnold would say ( Arnold voice I love the pump. LOL if it gets monogamous make a new routine switch it up to make it fun maybe move gyms idk. . But what I do know is that Fitness is a lifestyle it's marriage basically. You're either all in or all out. That in between half dedication crap with your food and workout will just get you burned out. Go hard or go home.

Heyy, amazing videoI would really love if you could cover the topic about BONES and the science behind it. You know, In terms of strengthening, and even making them bigger. What are the training routines you would recommend? What are the foods you would recommend? What should one avoid if that's one of his goals? There are some crazy Chinese guys that break stones and bend metal object with their legs and I just wonder how come they achieve such feats?

Thank you so much for making this video and adressing this topic. I've had issues with going on family vacations in the past where I had no access to the gym, so to everyone who happens to have this problem I'd recommend HIIT sessions for fat loss because there is plenty of just 15 minute circuits with no equipment and minimal space, so it'll help with staying fit and burning the calories that you might be eating in a surplus: )

No worrying is the best thing, enjoying the break. I haven't had a day off the gym since July. I will take 2 weeks off over Christmas when I go home to see my family. Those 2 weeks won't make a difference in the long term. They can fix any random overuse issues or minor injuries, can give you motivation etc. It's not as if you will take 2 weeks off and go from being massive and lean to a twiglet.

Tip, consider looking up calisthenics if you are going somewhere off the beaten path and without a gym. It won't be the same, but maybe you can keep the fun in your workout if you can parkour the environment for your legs and pull-up equivalents/endurance workout and practice those handstands and reverse incline push-ups for uppers. Running on the beach is great for calves, so enjoy

Hey Jeff, I love your videos and this one is soo good and helpful. Your content is amazing. I just wanted you to explain the whole tracking calories vs appetite thing. I think it's really interesting to know the pros and cons and limitations, because I feel like for some people, for me for instance, tracking calories is like wasted efforts. What do you think?
