I was a month away from giving up and going over to the dark side until I found NH's channel. One year later and I've fixed my injuries, started intelligent programming, working on fixing injuries or training around them, building my home gym, getting leaner than I was then and heavier still. Thanks bro, you gave me the final push to take the natural journey to the end, and got me to start reading again.

[@crabenthusiast7683]

This really opened my eyes regarding the whole “goal physique” I’ve always sort of trained everything equal, and assumed that any dominant body parts I end up with was pure genetics. I’ve also been afraid to move away from the normal “aesthetic bro” physique, even though I don’t even really like the look. I think I’m going to start thinking about what I really want to look like, and think of bodybuilding more as an art than just a mission to max out my potential on every body part. thank you.

Guys... Thank you very much for clearing up pretty much EVERYTHING that evolves around KZbin-Fitness and what it has become. As an older guy in his 40ies I can confirm that Alex's E-Books that I bought years ago are worth reading/buying. In the 90ies you have had less people on drugs in the gyms but you had to sift through so much bullshit and half truths that was so time consuming. So if you youngsters out there can not appreciate the times now and the value these two gentlemen deliver I do not know how there is any help for you aspiring lifters.

I hope this spreads to the next generation

Did you lift at all during these 6 weeks off? How long did it take to get back to your previous physique?

@@hemingway3508 I really didn't lift much for 6 weeks... Took a good 8-9 weeks to get about even. So that was a little disappointing but I'm cruising now. Eating good, sleeping pretty well, lifting 4-5 days a week, mostly higher reps, but some higher weights in there too. I love working out but my family, my home and sometimes work comes before. I try not to get too frustrated when I do have to have a layoff, whether it's 2 days or 2 months.... Because I am excited for the journey, for there is no real destination

[@dolphin7860]

The KZbin fitness viewer life cycle is an incredible concept that I’ve never heard articulated so well! I can remember diving so deep into youtube fitness for a couple years before intuitively weening myself off. Progress remained steady even when I stopped watching and I’ve now reached advanced numbers in multiple lifts. I will say, however, that every few months or so I will occasionally dive back into KZbin fitness but typically only to re up on the fitness mindset. It’s like reigniting a dormant neuropathway that still is strong as hell when called on!

There I was after having done all of this work and change in lifestyle / food/ sleep …and people wanted to try to find a way to bring me down or take that away …..y’all are right though , it’s jealousy and projection / some people you know don’t Really want to see you do well, or at least not better than them in any way according to their perceptions

Love these twom natural is the life long way to go. Most ppl make excuses when their progress slows down they say oh i hit my genetic limit and then jump on roids. Even young like 14, 15 year olds. Its crazy. If you eat good train hard consistently you will grow muscle. Over time it will slow but there will s be growth in the long run. And thats the big problem these days is people dont have the patience to grow muscle in 5 10 15 20 years and so on. Its like bodybuilding isnt even a passion to them its more of a fast quick goal for social media pictures. You two are are the real natural deal. Good stuff!

One of the key parts of this conversation was at the beginning, MINDSET! When I started training I never picked up a weight thinking I can't do it. I just literally believed I could eventually lift whatever I decided I wanted to train hard enough for. Yes I had limits physically at some point. But a huge amount of my progress was just based on sheer belief I could do it and no one was going to tell me I couldn't. Great interview lad!

[@Miks_Petersons]

As a natural lifting for 5 years your conversation makes me exited for the next 5. Benching 125 Kg at the moment, would love to reach at least 200 kg in the next half decade.

[@mamtaksamo3682]

I just started watching, but I'm super happy that you Alex gave NH a platform on your channel. I found his channel by accident, it actually recommended by the YT algoritm, when it was still very small. Videos about popular beginner programs caught my attention as I myself was in the past on the Stronglifts and remember how dissapointed I was with it after some time. I watched his videos on those topics and could agree with basically everything he said- the cult mentality, the forcing of pseudo-powerlifting principles to people that are more interested in bodybuilding, the sandbagging, etc. I think I never wrote a comment under his videos, but I've watched a lot of them, as I love the long-video format instead of so common now extra short materials. Especially the philosophy ones. So thanks again Alex for giving him a shout out, as I think you, him and a couple of other natural lifters might be the beginning of the new evolution on yt fitness- where the natty way will have a big comeback to its righteous place- not as a cope, or blackpill, but as a proud statement of ones commitment to the never ending self improvement. And then it will be a full circle- like back in the days when Scooby first posted his lifting advice videos.

[@Pbuilder]

I needed to hear this so much! Was told yesterday that my goals were not realistic, etc. Had me down pretty bad that my wife asked me what was going on

[@Naracid]

This video is an absolute gold mine, I feel bad for those who are stuck in the loop of the aesthetic brahs missing out on such quality information. NH is like one of the only people I can sit thru an entire hour long video (admittedly I put the video at 1.5 speed) and I enjoy every bit of it, his raw delivery in some videos is just amazing and bonus points that he's a fellow french speaker :)
