5 Bodybuilding Mistakes - And How to Fix Them

[@Optimization_Coach]

100% spot on Marcus. Decades of the same movements made me muscular but very stiff going into my 50s. It's all changing to more functional movements and pain is subsiding with more range of motion. Thanks so much!

[@marcusfilly]

let me know how it treats you.

You are real informative bro, I m subscribed

Hi Marcus im from Colombia thank you so much for this usefull information. I have two questions: 1) in the first split example when do you train arms? And 2) i want to build lean muscle in your split examples only use routines made by supersets? Maybe you could some day make a video with few examples of routines in your split suggetions kind regards OscarM

ahhh the poptart clip. one of favs lol

[@74castle]

I’m so guilty of these things.. and despite being desperate to change it up, continue to do it. This video (generously) provides some easy add-ins or replacement movements.. I’m determined to incorporate some of them, today! Thanks Marcus

[@marcusfilly]

Glad it was helpful!

Look forward to Marcus vids because I know it’s invaluable x

I like Marcus and his content alot but much of his advice doesn't seem applicable to regular gyms. 95% of gyms don't have sleds, airdyne bikes, kettlebells, let alone the equipment availability or space for members to superset exercises together. His plans are designed for CrossFit box gyms not the globo-gyms probably 90+% of his audience works out in. Again, constructive criticism. I really enjoy his content but see myself having a difficult time implementing his advice and recommendations in run of the mill standard gym settings.

[@marcusfilly]

Thanks for your feedback Mark. You are correct. That has been our target audience for quite some time. With that said, our PERSIST PUMP program is being done by people in a wide variety of gym settings and isn't requiring all the traditional CrossFit Box Tools. Instead it focused on the basics that are found everywhere.

@@joshuapeek9555 sorry Joshua. It’s been on my mind to make a program like that.

[@marioescalante1276]

Hi Marcus, hopefully you can answer my question. I've watched your meal prep videos and notices you weight all food items raw/dry. All my life I've been weighing it once its cooked. for example if I cook bison meat worth 1000grams then cooked its 800grams .. I would end up serving myself a lot more to compensate for the "loss" of water evaporated. Same applies for other food items like rice. Could you clarify whats the "best" approach to this or do a video about it? also how would you evenly split the portions out if eating the same protein source in several days. Thanks a lot!

[@marcusfilly]

You can do it either way but the most consistently accurate will be weighing raw. Like you said water evaporates when cooking but it isn’t always the same loss of hydration. So 1000g of ground beef could cook down to 800g or 700g depending on how much you cook it. Same goes for veggies. That’s why i always measure things raw. Spreading out over days would go like this Cook 2 LBs of beef. Separate into 3 equal containers. That’s about 10.67 oz in each one.

I took all of these to my routine yesterday & it was amazing. This is what makes hard work feel like fun. Looking for your videos every day.

Great job!

[@mindfulbody3802]

Bulking also leaves me feeling less motivated as I don't like how I look in the mirror, or dare I say, in my bday suit with my gf. A day or 2 of feeling "fatter" is ok but more than that then my self esteem starts to drop. I definitely like the steady approach.

[@marcusfilly]

For that reason I’ve never been able to really bulk intentionally. My only bulks in my life were at times when I lacked a lot of self confidence and had depressed mood for extended periods of time. As a result I put on weight from over eating to handle my emotions. Me we intentional

Nice Knife 2:25

[@penielansa2425]

Could you give example workout routines for those type of splits at 4:33 that can be found your local conventional gym also so it is relatable

[@marcusfilly]

Squat Pull Day 3 working sets A1. Back Squat; 30X0 tempo for 6-8 reps Rest 60sec A2. Lat Pull Down; 31X0 tempo for 8-10 reps Rest 60sec and back to A1 3 sets B1. Dumbbell chainsaw row; 21X1 x 8-10/arm Rest 45sec B2. Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat; 20X0 x 6-8/leg Rest 45sec and back to B1 For Quality 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Cossack Squat right Cossack Squat left Body row V ups *complete 10 reps of each exercise followed by 9 of each followed by 8 of each…. And so on until you complete 1 of each as your last set

[@penielansa2425]

Thank you am, this is really helpful could explain the tempo times again I’m a bit confused on what the last number represents

[@marcusfilly]

@@penielansa2425 just a way to write out descending rep sets.

[@marcusfilly]

@@joshuapeek9555 well a back squat and a pull up might work better. Or a back squats and body row on the same bar as the back squats
