I randomly remembered you just now, I have been watching you since 2009. I remembered your iconic line “it’s your muscle building coach Lee Hayward” glad to see you are still doing great. For some reason KZbin stopped pushing your videos to my feed.

So wish I had followed your advice....Easy plus one! Had to learn from experience that at my age joint and tendons need kindness. Muscles want madness. lol

Hey Lee do you have any workout videos for people with type 2 diabetes

That's twice I've seen the wall squat today, I'll have to try it.

Here are the timestamps for our video chat: 0:00 - Intro 03:53 - Can you detail and explain your weight training exercises and sets and reps in the gym and your weekly routine? I’m very inspired by your total body workouts. Would also love if you could do and updated New Year’s 2025 Lee Hayward full-body workout video on KZbin. 11:39 - Dr. Mike Isratel says if you work your muscles through a full ROM (Range of Motion) then stretching is unnecessary. Do you agree? 14:16 - Is the stretch the most important part of the lift for hypertrophy? 16:08 - Have you ever looked at Sean Nalewanyj’s supplement line? 17:15 - Have you ever tried PEDs in your competition days? 20:31 - Can I make good progress using dumbbell only workouts. I have a set of power blocks up to 70lbs. Can I continue to progress dumbbell only? Thinking push-pull-legs. Been lifting for years but never consistent. NOTE: Home Gym Dumbbell Workouts - kzbin.info/aero/PLszvxdbDUNffPX_4EiARx12uBy1EoOVjJ 27:04 - What do you think of a fly-press combo on a low incline? Fly on the eccentric, good stretch, then press on the concentric, repeat for reps. Seems you can go heavier that way. 30:04 - I want to convince my wife to lift weights but she believes that lifting weights might damage the uterus and stuff and also cause harm in menstruation. Your thoughts? 35:38 - I developed a muscle knot from excessive manual labor. It’s getting better through massage gun, warm rag yoga stances, split machine. I have full range of motion but get there slower. Deep tissue work? 39:40 - Just curious about Omega Fitness gym and when I looked it up earlier in google maps 3d view, the McDonald shop was shown first. 40:34 - What rep range should you be doing for strength? And also, I can’t seem to get past 120kg deadlift, would like to work my way up to 200kg deadlift. NOTE: Suggested Rep Ranges: leehayward.com/blog/how-many-reps-should-you-do-to-build-muscle/ Deadlift Program leehayward.com/blog/deadlifting-101/ 45:12 - Is there any way to protect the ribs from getting hurt? 47:11 - What do you like for lower lats? I feel that’s where I can improve. I do weighted pull-ups and machine chest supported rows. Thinking of trying an underhand high row for lower lats. 49:44 - We were always taught by our elders to have a high breakfast, medium lunch and low dinner. Old fashioned way. What’s your opinion on this? 53:18 - If you had a very tight budget but wanted to make meals which where high in calories and protein, what type of meals alongside snacks would you eat? 58:40 - I find it difficult to hit my daily calories with potatoes due to their high satiety. The only way I can eat enough is to swap them out with steamed white rice. Is that okay? 01:02:39 - It’s weird, I lowered my protein intake and increased carbs and keep losing weight and getting stronger on a deficit. 01:05:18 - [Viewer Comments: Discussed] I eat a gram of protein per pound of LEAN body mass. 01:06:45 - [Follow Up: 58:40] It's due to the GLP-1 I’m on.

Hi Lee; My favorite 5 day split is; Monday:chest & core Tuesday:back & shoulders Wednesday:biceps & triceps Thursday:legs & core Friday:back & shoulders Saturday:rest Sunday:rest Thanks! Your fan Josian.

On the "carefree" part theres a great book called "Inner game of tennis" that discusses a bit of this.. how great athletes are subconsciously great rather than consciously great

I believe is better to do push pull legs 2 times per 10 day it's the sweet spot instead of doing ppl 6x week or 3x week the first is that you have to go to the gym every day the second is that you are doing only once a week. What's your opinion lee?

Hi Lee: My favorite 5 day split is: Monday:chest & core Tuesday:back & shoulders Wednesday:biceps & triceps Thursday:legs & core Friday:back & shoulders Saturday:rest Sunday:rest Thanks! Your fan, Josian.

Im so angry... i need something from the local town but winds gonna hit 130kph so not getting out. Cant meet my parents . Got quarantined last month due to ice. Getting very pxxxd off. I really needed the item. Getting a scarcity mindset now. I cant even declutter my room. Items were falling and spilling this morning and theres one day left to prepare before the wind hits. I have back up power but very annoying.

Lee Hayward, still the best online coach on the interwebs

Rib cages expands when you inhale fully everytime

When I watched this video I remembered how I did my workout routine during the Corona pandemic. At that time I didn't have access to the gym so that I also did my routine like this using rubber bands and few dumbells and barbells.

I'm currently finishing up phase 2 of Return To Prime and at 72 it's a struggle but I'm in 100%! Thanks Nick!

Your calfs are amazing ❤❤❤❤❤

lol that’s ai

Nick seems a wise insightful man. Thank you for sharing.

It seems like you've been using protein powder for years. As doctors mention, has any liver or kidney disease developed, or are they still healthy?

Is it ok to have a normal body message from time to time for muscles builders. Will it hinder muscles growth?

Normally, I rotate my workout from week to week, that means in the first week I do a one workout routine and in the second week I do another workout routine. Then again I do the same workout routine I did in the first week in third week and in fourth week I did again the same workout routine I did in the second week. I like to know your thoughts about my routine.

You can the tank every time as long as you have the adequate rest days . Tom Platz ( The quad father) only trained legs twice a month.

Actually, at my job, we always get new products that are sometimes heavier than what we had before. The biggest issue is to make sure you don't get injured from working, which can make it hard to train on top of that.

Add Olaf 😂

6 to 8 reps with 1 rir Not too heavy close to failure but not failure. Win win

Can you give me some tips to improve my triceps?

Wei bodo..hg bodo pa hg xau psai hit.tgk bdn hg pn dh nmpk lmbik,kcik mcm pntat..pki mk ang..bodo nk suh owg rsk bdn

Best way for rapid progress, for sure. No one set, 2-3 sets it’s epic.

Lee ,well most of the time I'm working during your live streams but a little update here, dead lifting 350 at middle age feels awesome! I consider my self grateful that I can even do it!

Was looking for a video of a basic strength routine to share with a friend and found this! I've been doing HIT (slow single set to failure) strength training with my dad who is about 80 for a little over a year and it's done wonders for his cognition and ability to stay active! We're doing it at a HIT gym with a personal trainer, which helps with consistency, but it's amazing what two 20 minute workouts per week will do! Definitely think everyone should use a similar approach as they get older! It's safe and efficient and not that intimidating with a little guidance!

The answer I was looking for without having to watch a 20 minute video (the intro was funny as hell too 😆). Thank you sir! Subscribed!

Great conversation, I appreciate you both. I’ll be sure to get a copy of Nick‘s book.

Sure once in awhile supersets, but if you keep doing it you could pull a muscle or if not worse a tendon

A lot of it is mental. As I've become more injury prone and recover from minor stuff so much more slowly, I don't push myself as hard because I'd rather do 12 workouts feeling fine and not making much progress, but still making some headway. Than 5 where I pushed myself as hard as I could and got a major tendon issue that put me out for a couple of months. I make more progress being careful than I do when I'm not, I know this isn't true for everyone, but I have learned the hard way that this is true for me.

Hi Lee: My favorite 2 day split is: Monday:chest, shoulders & arms Thursday:back,legs & abs

This video was taken from the Total Fitness Bodybuilding Podcast "Unlock Your HIDDEN STRENGTH with Advanced Training Methods" at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYHaoHZseLN0epI

Awesome right to the point👌👍

🔇DO NOT UNMUTE

Well done . I really like your videos. I learn so many things by watching your videos. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hope this helps whoever is having these headaches. I had these headaches. This is what happens: the muscles of the head and neck share nerve pathways with brain. So when you get tight muscles of the neck, it can feel like the pain is coming from the head. I went to the physiotherapist and they dry needled my trapezius right away, worked on my neck muscles and lateral SCM muscles and worked like magic. It was very debilitating otherwise. Ofcourse you gotta rule out the other causes of headaches.

GOOD STUFF, Shared on FB my Channel.

The average cigarette contains 22-25g of nicotine! Each cigarette has that much. So 1 gram is really ridiculously low dosing. Nicotine is not addictive! It’s found in many many vegetables that we eat often. Nicotine is found in tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, celery and many more. Cigarettes contain a chemical called pyrazines and those are the addictive chemicals added to the product. Learn about this yourself online. Lots of studies. We’ve been lies to. Again.

You started the lat pull down from top not from bottom. I am confused. Should we start from bottom to top or from top to bottom? Please explain. Can I use this method at the end the workout as a finisher?

I'd be interested to see you trying it out providing your results and maybe figuring out how to incorporate it in a normal workout.

This is great. Can’t wait till you have Brooks Kubik on the program.
