Great advice! I've been lifting most of my life I'm 65! Diet and exercise and learn too listen too your body! I'm vegan body building for the first time in my life! You are one of many that I choose too listen too! I learned at a young age listen too the successful ones you will progress with fewer mistakes. It's all about the journey enjoy it!

[@chrismcgowan5180]

100k not before time. You have done so much for animals, congrats.

[@RunningShoes88]

Video ideas: -Weekly vlogs. Doesn’t have to be vegan focused or mega exciting adventures. Just following your daily life and routine so that we can get to know you better. -Basic exercises for beginner weight training/bulking -High protein cheat meal recipes -How to save money on a plant based diet -Gym wear recommendations -Collabs with other content creators -Fitness challenge videos

[@NimaiDelgado]

Thanks for these suggestions!

[@manumaster1990]

yep!

[@jjschnabel6436]

Nice vid. Ideas: -I've heard that some think vegans need more protein than non-veg athletes. How should vegs set up macros? -Is it possible to set up a veg bodybuilding diet plan without protein powders? -Vegan meal plans have several smackdown advantages... like food safety, health, and less cruelty. Are there others? -Gym clothes. Polyester may be vegan, but is it good for the plants, animals, and people that live on the planet? Are there alternatives to minimize this? -What are the realities of training results as a vegan during each decade of life?

[@mikeskylark1594]

3:35 ''Getting quality sleep'' - tell that to my NOISY neighbours!😠

[@oregonwoodelf]

Solid, realistic, practical advice. Thanks for the vid!✌🧝‍♂🌱🧙‍♂

[@mikeskylark1594]

What a nice HD video! Good job!

[@mikeskylark1594]

Also congrats on reaching 100K subscribers on KZbin!!!

[@steve_p]

It's pretty amazing that all of these ideas translate extremely well into so many other areas of life!! - Mental health, nutrition and recovery affect literally everything else we do - Focusing on making a good habit process-based and into a lifestyle rather than a one-off battle is absolutely a key point - And of course, having a personalized plan, while mostly comparing yourself to your past self is solid advice as well Thanks, Nimai, this was a great video! Also, the style was nice and the flow felt very chill! P.S.: I don't believe that you just revealed our secret, man.. I mean, using the ****** to then ****** while ******** and ****** is such an obvious way to succeed. Not even Arnold thought of utilizing the ******** with the ancient and almost lost technique of ******* in order to upgrade the ******** in a matter of months instead of years. Incredible.

[@meatflake]

Thanks for finally telling us your biggest secret 😉

[@agnidas5816]

Welcome back, bro.

[@shelydon78]

So hilarious on the "biggest nutrition secret" that you had to tell us. Like that scene in "soul plane" when Kevin hart is talking and breaking up with his girlfriend and a loud plane flies by 😆

[@NimaiDelgado]

🤣 I remember that scene

[@Andrew-kr2qg]

Thanks coach! 😁 💙 🌱 💪

[@benamitchell]

Thank you Nimai for this great video. Please keep showing the kitty! Veganism is for health and for the animals.

[@LennarthAnaya]

0:28 true sir, sometimes I accidentally bring back bad memories of wrongdoings I regret and my physical power goes away for the day and can't lift anymore

[@coreyle3303]

This was such a great video! Thanks Nimai, super clear and inspiring~

Great new video concept - I can see you guys are working hard at this. Careful of sound quality - it comes and goes, especially towards the end of the video. Other than sound issues, nothing to comment but positive stuff! Love from South Africa - been following you since I went vegan 7 years ago, and love you more with every bit of content I get to see from you X

[@ElyzaEllit]

[@paulb8251]

Love the biggest secret about your nutrition! I think I have the same secret 🤫. Those are 7 great tips! I’ve been vegan a while and lifting in the gym for almost 5 years now and I can relate to all of those already. Great advice!

[@harryneuhoff9115]

What was the secret? Protein shakes? Healthy shakes?

[@paulb8251]

@harryneuhoff9115 It was just a joke…

[@covingtoncreek]

2:49 This is what I came to hear. It was all worth it.

[@jakeazfitness]

Good stuff, Nimai!! Also, very excited to get some Vedge protein soon! Video idea: what are some good mobility exercises that help to prevent injury?

[@NimaiDelgado]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@isabong]

[@joanavicente5493]

Ai meu Deus, você é sensacional!

[@ericjacobs5991]

Is it possible to gain muscle mass while in a caloric deficit? If so, what would the training regimen look like? High reps or high weight?

[@nitaigourharibol6928]

Hare Krishna Nimai prabhu🙏

[@fmcastnoar]

Tenho treinado pernas 2x na semana, como qualquer ser mortal do sexo masculino em idade de maturação, negligenciei muito este aspecto 😢, mas sou adepto do teu conselho, odeio agachamentos unilaterais, seja avanços ou búlgaros, mas tenho os feito até gostar, já faz meses e ainda não tô gostando mas continuarei a fazer 😅😅😅😅😅 7 anos vegetariano e 3 anos vegan 🌱

[@wfpbwfpb]

Awesome bro!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

[@MrDrJaybones]

yes algorithm

[@NewBlueType]

Do you generally consume around 1.6g of protein per kg of your bodyweight since that's what seems to be the upper limit of what's useful?

[@infiniteworfare5089]

WHAT DID YOU SAY WHEN THE BLENDER WAS ON. I COULDNT HEAR. PLZ TELL ME I BEG YOU.

[@healingtoush]

👌💯🙏

[@philphil1781]

2:50 Is there a lip reader out there? 😁

[@Randomiz500]

[@harryneuhoff9115]

So the secret to nutrition is making healthy shakes?
