Bulked Too Far? My MINICUT Plan | New Exercise Selection Research

In this video I describe my approach to minicutting and why I think it's best for optimizing progress and appearance. I also share my thoughts on a new study on flexible vs rigid training programs.

[@WarriorFromV4LH4LL4]

Jeff the kind of guy to turn a familiy dinner into a PEScience advertisement

[@shoqvaive1842]

moqensen lol

[@WarriorFromV4LH4LL4]

Jeff the kind of guy to have a favorit kiwi import country

[@shoqvaive1842]

moqensen LMAO

[@BGstefchoARS]

LMAO dude i screamed way too hard on that one!

[@Bjoernbmx7]

this shit is no joke, new zealand gold kiwis are way better than italian gold kiwis both same brand (zespri)

[@jakerankin6351]

Im from New Zealand and zespri kiwis are by far my favourite imo

[@jesselucas1728]

You probably dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last couple of weeks =)

[@bzee3880]

He always says "if that makes sense"... and i always say to myself, "more sense than ever" 👍 explanations are very easily understood.

[@faieezalucas3722]

I'm probably not your normal sub! I'm 52, female and a personal trainer. I just wanted to say I love your videos and also Stephanies. It is so refreshing to see so much science!! xx

[@lunhing5308]

Faieeza Lucas dang babe I like older women come over we can get a workout in

[@EVAN-re2yo]

i am 65 and you can easily search my name on google. do it baby.

[@jurajturansky413]

jeff is jucing guys......Kiwi jucing :D :D

[@PrideofWilly]

Just gonna grab some popcorn cause this is some cinema quality stuff!

[@thingX1x]

That better be protein popcorn!

[@Devlin2Nathan]

Jeffs videos are so informative but also comforting he’s like a cool older brother

[@hugo.nieves787]

LOL no pressure when Rashaun films and edits... Dude straight up killed it man!! Also Jeff. can't wait for 2018 on your mini cut. And if you plan on doing a show, my vote would be the Classic Physique division. You already have a pretty good vaccuum when you do a relaxed pose and your overall main muscles make your waist appear very symmetrical (Chest, Back, Delts, Quads)

[@mr.j5092]

Your missing a KIWI ornament for your tree!

[@boomdingleberry4467]

What hair exercises do you do?

[@JH-fk7ol]

Jeff, u need to show ur hair routine and how u get it cut. It looks too good lol.

[@milosnovakovic9337]

Bloggy vibe is just on spot. 60% educ. 30 fun 10 bloggy. I'd love to see more of this vibe. Well done.

[@ItsGeneesis]

I just love those talking vids! Also imo the exercise variety style is awesome! I‘m doing it myself and it‘s just awesome - I‘m benching, squatting and deadlifting 2-3 times per week and the addition of the exercises based on how I feel that day is just awesome and it’s giving me the right kick in the end.

[@oSenjio]

Yo do a skype interview with muscle metrix

[@JeffNippard]

James Herd I’d be down

[@josephtamali9545]

this!

The workout footage was incredible.

[@tyrionlannister467]

Dark night dummo - trippie red & la flame for the next song for the edit Jeff. Also Brockhampton 3 was nothing but fire emojis

[@samuelcochrane2245]

Jeff what's your hair routine?

[@JoeKickass324]

Rogaine twice a day, ketacozone shampoo twice/week, propecia once a day

[@dariengreen7191]

Jeff please answer. I'm black and I need to know how to get my hair silky smooth

[@f_a_d_u_s]

wow thats your secret?

[@Ricardoromero4444]

[@VeryNuclearYT]

Most needed video 👐

[@BlackOnyxTiger]

Rashaun with the dope edits (esp. on the basketball shots)

[@johncliffalvarez6513]

This is definitely the way I would love to spend my holidays like.

[@beachluvr177]

Okay holy shit that workout footage is insane! What camera & lens did he use again??!!

[@jamesmontague2087]

Amber a good one

[@Walruskinz]

Amber He Jeff just likes the comment but doesn't answer your question lol

[@stovid]

It's in the video... 9:30 Sony alpha 7R III with a Sony G master lens

[@PixelMinez]

Jeff you should do a video where you explain different periodization such daily undulating, linear, etc. Explaining what it is, how it works, and why it is effective.

[@DanielH-po4ur]

PixelMinez already has pal

[@AdamMerry]

Your videos are so on point. Over the last year ive seen nearly all of them and they've informed a lot of my programming and nutrition. Thank you!

[@Eric-pm1is]

Jeff don’t ever stop using old Trav songs in all of your vids. Keeps me coming back

[@colearnall]

This is quickly becoming my favorite channel! Very few people can keep things entertaining when the video is not all about the workout specifically! Great job and look forward to seeing more content!

[@maxwellwooley5937]

Anyone know Jeff's mothers Instagram? Asking for a friend.

[@alauen]

Hell of A Night has to be Jeff’s favorite Travis song.

[@georgefaux2154]

Aaron Lauenstein the start is dope but the rest is eh

[@fvilla131]

Tell your camera guy great job, hes killing it

[@JosueCuervo97]

So glad you brought that same intro tune from your chest hypertrophy video back. Love it.

[@DamnightSC2]

what's the song at the end called? it's not named in the description

[@hunterceroy]

Thank you for stating fasted cardio doesn't burn more fat. 🤙🏼

[@NK-ke6yy]

Hunter Ceroy. Fasting for just 24 hours boosts somatotropin(GH) by as much as 2000% for men, and %1300 for women. HIIT cardio also spikes growth hormone, which is an excellent fat burner and very anabolic. When combining fasting with HIIT, you can bet you’ll shred more fat than training after a meal, especially if you wait at least an hour to have a post workout (because protein and carbs causes blood glucose/insulin response, both of which are negatively correlated with serum levels and production of GH) because like I said Growth hormone torches fat.

[@hunterceroy]

Mhm some big words in there, bet you're very proud. Did you also know growth hormone doesn't have anything to do with fat loss or muscle gain? Did you also know it takes about 4-5ish days to burn through your glycogen storage to even begin burning fat? Did you also think that your body burns fat right when it's fasted? Damn, thats assuming your body has absolutely 0 survival potential. He said he does it because it wakes him up. Not some GH bullshit. But you keep buying into all the bullshit the industry spews out. Your wasted time and money, not mine

[@jeffroberts3384]

You all over think this shit. Eat big, trAin big to get big. Eat in a calorie surplus to gain muscle and size. I mean really fuck train. Not your little sissy workouts that I see most do at the gym. Then surprise when you get really fucking big, and your gonna be a little chubby around the waists. Also called a fucking bulking cycle. You then go on a cutting cycle. Hence you loose the gained fat to reveal your hard, I repeat, hard earned muscle. And you do this but eating in a calorie deficit and burning extra calories via cardio . This cardio can be whenever the fuck you want it to be. Fasted, unfasted, at night in the morning, slow or fast . It's all calories in calories out. This isn't rocket science. Just fucking train and stop over thinking this shit. And and one more thing, food , I mean real food is key. Not these bullshit supplements that Jeff is constantly pushing to line his pockets with paid endorsements. Just my 2 cents. .

[@sandeshjadhav8804]

well said, people overcomplicate a lot of things

[@spencerschubert5001]

In my opinion, the only reason fasted cardio burns more fat is if it makes you more accountable in your diet… if you do cardio after having eaten a bit a few hours ago… then you go to eat again post-workout, you’re more likely to compensate in that meal by eating a bit more… whereas there is less opportunity to compensate and eat more after a fasted workout because you’re not as prone to over-eat when you stack your (larger) meals up after your workouts.

[@MickMdws]

how about a Q&A live session? Really enjoying your videos and I also think that you are an interesting person. not in a gay way.

[@MickMdws]

frankenbat is that so? I'm from Finland and we don't tell much compliments so this is very confusing to me :D

[@MickMdws]

frankenbat yeah yeah i'm just joking lol

[@MickMdws]

yeah sure. (no homo)

[@marcelo98hv]

Hair science explained please

[@sivaguruvellasamy8178]

Advance happy Christmas to all

[@tottiegod8021]

I lift 100% based on how I feel. Just always go hard. Always. I make sure I try to hit everything.

[@alexanderestrada8505]

You should do a video on the joints/tendons and how to stretch/keep them healthy.

[@HippopatumusKing]

I like this channel not only for its content but also because you come across as an awesome guy!

[@AW-rp8lz]

Love how cozy your moms house is. NExt level decoration

[@emilandersson8325]

Great video man! I am at the end of my bulk and I also feel that my morning apetite is worse than before. Could you make your next 'science explain' video about getting ill and how to continue training without getting worse and how to improve your immunesystem to prevent illness! Keep up the great work.👍

[@codym.1186]

Awesome Video! I always feel more motivated for my workouts after watching any of your content.

[@hotwaterishot]

You should have a science explained video about the effects of music can have on a workout.

[@Postermaestro]

I will never understand how people don't have an appetite in the morning smh. I literally wake up feeling sick from hunger every day. And I'm currently at 4400 kcal / day weighed and measured, including a meal before bed.

[@OsakiTak09]

You mentioned having a problem with getting Zespri kiwis. I’ve been eating Zespri’s golden kiwis in England and they recently stopped them too! Been missing my fix of good kiwis 😢

[@chrisw9445]

thanks for the awesome content as always Jeff! :D

[@chrisaoun6091]

science explained - heart rate zones! Would love to hear your thoughts about the heart rate zones for fat loss, fitness zones etc. Is it really true? or just a myth?

[@TheArtofMore1]

Hey Jeff, ever down anything on BREAKING YOUR BODYWEIGHT SET POINT? Is there any good literature on how to consistent break past it?

[@spencerjohnson925]

WilJr bodyweight set point is related to metabolic set point right? So when your weight set goes up your maintenance calories go up? A vid on this would be awesome

[@ScottishTurkey538]

Pretty sure he did a podcast or part of a podcast on it. IceCream4PRs

[@gcg8187]

Just make gains bro who cares

[@fallenseraph5V]

Mom blew you guys away with decorating for X-Mas

[@israaessamelsayed8175]

Your content and editing are getting better Love your videos Wish you can help me with researchs about lifting heavy weights with osteoarthritis

[@seraphinemoncada5371]

JEFF! Can you discount MASS again??

[@punjab1captain]

Seraphine Moncada do you know Judy Moncada?

[@filmilenfitness3026]

Jeff makes the best bulking. He has gone up good in size

[@knyawilliams8491]

Bruh, the editing of that workout❤❤❤Amaze balls!!!!

[@TheFlyingMonkey200]

The intro made me hold my breath. Damn keep it up.

[@Chloroformspray]

That edit was awesome! Great vid!

[@Natty_News_Daily]

Bear mode bulk worked like a charm!

[@stewmatter2287]

I change up my exercises every week whether it means grip reps pyramid scheme drop sets etc never let the body get used to a routine that’s when you plateau

[@tyrionlannister467]

Steph hates that hoop 😂

[@xen6494]

My favourite youtuber by far! Best content ever

[@jonathonfreelove5321]

Excellent video of your mini cut plan and reason why

[@billygarcia9431]

Hey Jeff Nippard love the videos! Will you be releasing a full body or core plan? Keep the great videos coming!

[@peterrivas6666]

Rashaun NAILED the edit

[@alexprs8929]

Man's not minicut.

[@xinsanedefeatx]

Once I learned he was a comedian it all made sense

[@ahmedmamelli8202]

hey jeff could you do a video on Working out on an empty stomach? haven't seen anyone else on youtube go into detail about this topic yet. thanks!

[@ArielHernandez1]

Nice! That auto-regulatory study came out the my universities human performance lab!

[@PaoloXia88]

subscribed as soon as I heard the intro song

[@basszombies450]

What is the intro song?

[@alexandriathera1153]

Claim : Auto regulated exercise program is better than fixed selected exercise program in terms of muscle strength & mass as the former give u a sense of agency and boost your work out . However ,it can mislead as the participants that choose Auto regulated exercise program performed more squats . Therefore ,it ultimately depend on personality & workloads.

[@sheenashah2111]

the green hoodie does wonders for your eyes!

[@DANNYKENNEDYFITNESS]

Loved this vlog Jeff, killing it mate

[@RM-zx9do]

Oh yess back with the Hell Of a Night intro

[@SlowDelSol]

That really is a sick edit! More blogs!

[@cillacorona5704]

Hi jeff i love the videos, there amazing. Thank you guys

[@Sarah-so7ye]

Rashad is the master of editing.

[@CzarinaKehoe]

Stephanie is so pretty! Love watching you both. I appreciate your wonderful researched videos.🙌🏼

[@heleng4528]

I bought some high volume the other day. Really liking the non-stop formula. I don't like feeling jacked up during my workouts.

[@richardmarsh8266]

Love the video, killer edit at the end. Solid

[@TheKirsedx]

Jeff, some people have speculated/experienced that when you fuse your passion (health and fitness) with your way of making a living (i.e. job) it diminishes your enthusiasm/interest in it - have you had a similar experience? Specifically, has making your job all about what you are (clearly) interested in diminished the joy you get from it?

[@JeffNippard]

TheKirsedx that’s a great question. I would say in some ways it has, but in other ways I think I still love it just as much. I really enjoy the creative and intellectual aspect of fitness my career has created for me, but I don’t feel the same “escape” that I used to in the gym anymore.

[@josuerangel8793]

Sick edit! Keep them coming!

[@amyp8600]

That film editing is sick!

[@wallyhow9389]

It's the wrong season for kiwifruit in New Zealand - we're in summer right now (southern hemisphere) and they don't harvest until autumn (around March and May). The Italian and US ones are in the Northern hemisphere hence their availability.

[@caelanjb]

I was waiting for explosions and shit. Looked like a damn movie!

[@thekaizentrainer8872]

Great vid Jeff.Amazing view in the begining of the video 👌💪💪💪✌

[@andreatroina]

i believe that when we're talking about fundamentals we should keep them in place, to maintain that mechanical tension. if we need to change it at all cost maybe i'll pick a variation, let's say pause squat's. we'll use different weights and rep ranges and from a neurological perspective it could feel different. as for accessories, their less important from an overload point of view and more important for metabolic stress and angle variation, so let's change them, anyways we'll need the isolated stimoulous, not the progressive overload.

[@josiahlikestodance]

Dude I just started taking prolific and it's amazingggg. I'm basically trying out all of PE Science's products. From protein to preworkout and vitamins. I love the prolific though

[@hiramcaas]

Music?

[@dariengreen7191]

Stephanie would be unstoppable if she put on 5 pounds of muscle

[@fenixsos1]

The workout edit was fuckin awesome!!

[@Rave.-]

Woah maybe I haven't caught up in a while, but did Steph and Jeff move into a new place together? If so, that's awesome!

[@SINcityBigLOU]

My man. He watches Christian videos also! Tnx for the kick ass videos. No one post deep knowledge like Jeff. Killz it!

[@JAWsFitness]

DUUUUUDE... I wanna know how he made such a sick edit! I need to learn these skills lol

[@larrykrakow8927]

Thank you

[@swamymonish]

that videorgraphy is mint !

[@aleckermit]

Fasted cardio in the morning feels so good for me too.

[@sonicyouth1915]

The workout edit is good but it does compress the workout into a very short space of time. Would like to see at least a longer edit or stopping and showing us different parts of the workout or certain tips to increase intensity etc. For me the workout is the highlight, even though the vlog part is also interesting

[@iandestrada4298]

Awesome vid . Do more vlogs ! It’s inspiring

[@SteelBlueVision]

Why would you not get DEXA scanned before/after a mini-cut. That is what I am doing.

[@sadiqahmed8484]

Thumbnail was dope...👌

[@alberryc]

Finally, I needed this video

[@thebo_dad1388]

Bro what type of camera do you use for your daily vlogs? It honestly has some of the most crisp and defined visuals I have seen on youtube and I watch a lot of fitness vlogs! Also your videos are freaking awesome dude!

[@chrisaf8830]

I have been looking into reverse dieting. What are your thoughts on the topic Jeff? If anyone else would like to fill in by all means. Is reverse dieting a must? If not, are there real benefits that would justify it? Have you or anyone you know implemented it and what would they recommend? If you had touched on the topic previously forgive me. Thanks for being a huge inspiration of mine Jeff. Loved the video!

[@maticmarinsek898]

Please make a video about small waist!
