You know, this is probably the most helpful and encouraging video I've seen yet. Ryan thank you. I lifted all through high school using all the wrong form and theory because thats what the coaches required. I gave up shortly after hs because of lack of success (I gained strength but not as I should have. I returned to lifting occasionally for a month or two and always gave up.
I hit 296 pounds of lardass this past March at 43 years old and a father of 4. I decided that if I were going to survive my forties, I had to be something other than a fatass.
The past 5 months I've utterly changed my eating habits and did a lot of cardio, then last month returned to the gym
After 4 weeks lifting again, I've learned more about how to grow than I ever learned in my hs days
I haven't grown any noticeable muscle mass (well, it's noticeable to me) but I definitely feel the strength returning and feel better than I have in years.
I've dropped 30 of the 120lbs of fat that I need to drop, and my arms/legs have held lean muscle mass.
Largely, I have you to thank Ryan, for your videos.

Thanks for the video, Ryan! I was wondering if you could give me a short comment of my training program, because I feel like my process is stagnating a bit. So I am training a full body workout every other day with 3 sets of pullups, dips, squats, overhead press, deadlifts, barbell rows, walking lunges with kettlebells, and bench-press. I am training in a circle in that order to get enough rest between each set of each exercise. I am pushing myself to almost failure each set, and I am training for about 1 hour to 70min each time. I really like the program but I would like to get some profession insight. I feel like 1 day is enough to get me recovered, but a lot of people are telling me otherwise. Should I train with more sets/ more volume and get another day of rest? Or am I doing fine? Thanks for reading to keep up with the good work you're putting out!

Ryan,
I-ve been in and out of fitness my entire life. I-m now 33 and have put together a small gym in my basement and have a good routine of getting down there every morning for about an hour. I have a bike treadmill bowflex a few kettle bells and resistance bands. From just getting down there and shooting from the hip I have had good results loosing fat getting definition and gaining muscle.
What I-m struggling with is consistency in a routine. What muscle to train how many exercises per muscle group etc. Do you have a format, rule of thumb when it comes to muscle group=day or times per week? Thank you and I appreciate the videos

I find doing just about any exercise results in gains, the key is -consistency- even just walking with my dog almost every day up a steep sand dune, (i live near the beach) my legs and calves grew a bit, and i got stronger and faster walking up the hill. push ups. gains, then weighted pushups, bit more gain, then getting the bench press right so not to injure rotator cuff, more gains but i do see a correlation between strength and gains, and that strength is not just about the weight lifted but how easily and controlled the weight is lifted, struggling with a weight with poor form, the weight is too heavy

My work is very physical and I put in about 60 hours a week. Unfortunately I-m a thin dude and really want to put on some muscle and functional strength, so I-ve resorted to taking creatine again along with a test booster(zero energy after a long ass work week) and I-m just going to do body weight training at home. Did chins ups, push ups and squats this past weekend and holy shit I was sore! Already noticing very slight gains in strength though! Think I-m going to keep this method going. It-s probably the simplest way I can think of increase my strength/size without a lot of time-

I struggle because I do a physical job were I burn 4000 calories some days. If I train to failure or train to hard the evening before work I can't function at work. if I train hard all week at the weekend i'm too wrecked to spend time doing fun stuff with the kids.
so I have resigned myself to just becoming fast and building endurance and getting lean. I will never be a mass monster and I'm beginning to be happy with that.

If you overtrain you get injured and way less progress than someone not doing enough. Never go until failure especially over 35 but do everything intense with supersets not much rest between setst and don't do the same thing every week. I gained 20lbs from age 39-41 same size pants it's all about how you eat and intensity of training

I don-t believe in overtraining, I just think it-s your nutrition isn-t keeping up with your workouts. So, instead of decreasing the intensity or volume of your work out, just increase your nutrition intake. Then, you can maintain your workouts while having the potential to gain even more muscle, as long as your macros are right.

So I've been wondering for awhile now. Can you do full body, all 7 compounds the whole week? Go as heavy as you can and do 3 sets of 5 each lift every day. is that too much/not enough? Then rest the next week and repeat. I ask because when I do my full body A & B for two weeks and take a week off, my body responds quite well.

Words of truth. My newest addition to my training bag is an ice cream bucket because it's weird to hurl in the gym bin, but you gotta fear the hurl less than the task. Also if you think about it -hurling- was primarily a bunch of giant Scotsmen throwing logs as far as they could in order to get tail.
