30 things in 12 minutes made me think it'd be clickbait ('they can't all be good or clear'), but I am impressed! It extends past exercise alone, it's life advice. All these things make total sense

[@FitnessFAQs]

Mission accomplished :D

[@lost5939]

What you learn is that you realised that there will always be someone who will influence the fitness industry which is already fusked up and will make it worse .So why don’t I make it make less worse then them . You guys (Cali Move, Steven, Abnormal beings , that black guy from USA I think Dustin MF) are somehow right in terms of fitness education bla bla bla but you are not 100% true to your audience. I understand it’s your choice but it’s not 100% true. Why don’t you dare to come out and speak about your PEDS , test , GH use at least .Are you really insecure and will be till death or it’s too late? Does it matter? Fsk no , I don’t care but boy you for fusked up and you ain’t natty at all. Fsked you respectfully.

Much appreciated 🤝💗

Thank you⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@GVS]

"Don't push when it's time to pivot" 100%, always appreciate your alliteration! Some real gems here.

[@FitnessFAQs]

Appreciate you Geoffrey. Let's keep raising our collective standards.

[@squirreltakular9049]

These were all gold, but that one hit hard.

[@FitnessFAQs]

What's the most important lesson you've learned?

[@PD-ix6iv]

As you said in your video. Never compare to anyone, only compare to yourself.💪 :)

[@thabangmphela7322]

Gratitude.

[@gert-jaapvanmeeuwen5686]

deloid and never change your core excercises

[@TheMinh]

Its all you!

[@mrdwightmartin]

I've learned that you do it by doing it. I guess this ties in with Consistency. Stick with it even when things aren't going well.

[@ArtificalHistoryI]

Consistency is key, the way I’m consistent is simplicity - i don’t follow workout program -I don’t count reps/sets - I don’t do tones of variations - i only do 2 variations of each muscle group, pullups/chinups,push-ups/dips,split squats/Pistol squats - I wake up everyday and workout 1-2 hours. I rest when extremely sore And push to failure or near failure.

[@jpl3-g2b]

i would add (sorry if you mentioned it and i missed it) some things related to nutrition. Ok, you mentioned healthy habits, but i would emphasize a couple things: 1.You cant rely just in working out. Your phisique and health wont change if you dont have a balanced nutrition. 2.Healthy eating is not a sacrifice: Its something you do as a gift to yourself, not a punishment or a sacrifice that can take you to abandon it or "cheating". Find food you like and you can stick to in a healthy way.

[@kylesimington9166]

Dude - your channel's advise and production value are top notch. Love the straight - forward no fluff format.

[@jrdtheace]

Such a great video I keep rewatching it . Every word was crafted perfectly

[@jrdtheace]

I watched this 3 times now. I would like to add one element to it, since im 31 😆. 31- Understand your weaknesses. Too often I've had wrist pain (even symptoms of CTS), back pain, or recently rotator cuff strain. By doing research and finding out which stretch was giving me relief I was able to understand how to correct those weaknesses and gain an advantage + prevent exacerbation of the issue. For my wrist I now wear a brace everynight, I changed my mouse to a trackball (as I use the pc a lot) and I added 2 stretches to my routine. For my rotator cuff, I am working on new stretches (with bands and a stick) to improve the situtaion. Finally, my back was mostly about correcting weak form when it came to heavy compound exercises involving legs. Knowledge is power. Yes there is paralysis by analysis but also sometimes simple solutions can work wonders and it's worth researching. TLDR: Our lifestyles create unique weaknesses and being on top of those is essential for optimal gains.

[@seattlegrrlie]

Control of your body is everything, no matter where you are in your fitness goals always stay in control of your movement, position, and form

[@UncleCharlie111x2]

I have been training 44 years and now that I have wised up over the past 5 I personally believe this is the best way to go for health, functionality and longevity!

[@Strengthside]

This is so good man. Happy 30 it’s good years bro.

[@FitnessFAQs]

Thanks brother. I'm glad my words resonated.

[@patricko7169]

NGL, Daniel, Fitness FAQ is acc the goat. He’s honestly a great teacher and a blessing. I really appreciate his teaching philosophy. Thanks man for leading by example.

[@krazed0451]

On the note of variation, cross training between disciplines is a great way to keep engaged, do gymnastics, cycle, go bushwalking, take up a martial art, rock climb, do some yoga... 2 or 3 at once dependent on the intensity required is plenty! :-)

[@The15Sonic]

Many, many great lessons I too have learned from you since I started following you in 2020! The one thing that I would add from my experience is: Failure is part of the journey. Get used to failing and starting over and progress will come almost automatically.

[@bluemist1088]

I’ve heard Comparison is the thief of joy so much recently and I couldn’t agree more

[@yuri_cobaia]

As the footage goes, you can see that he also evolved in his finnacial life. You can see that he used to train in the backyard of a house, and now have a full gym in his house nice to see this

[@TejDhr]

You’ve really changed my physique and mindset and understanding/knowledge of fitness this past year thanks and happy 30❤🎉

[@entspannter_hase]

Andrew Huberman comes to mind for your 2nd lesson here. "Learn to spike your dopamine from effort itself."

[@get4thletic]

Such a whole reflexion of the past experience is the best thing for a bright future.

[@RebeccaMurrayUK]

I have been looking time after time for a good online coach that is direct, specific and has a backed up knowledge and physical evidence. I have trained the last 2 years in aerial straps and have struggled to find scientific workouts to strengthen my shoulders and prevent injuries. Your programme is next to none, keep up the amazing work! Thank you.

[@jasonlorphotofilms]

Patience and learning are big ones for me. You can't get the results you want and need right away. That's what leads people quitting too soon. Learning is all part of the journey to your goals. Enjoy the journey and what comes with it. Also, you just turned 30 years old, yet you look like you could pass for a teenager. I'd say you are definitely doing something right with yourself. I've seen many people with families with healthy genes and heredity, but being unhealthy and looking unhealthy due to their decision making for themselves. If you made mistakes, you have been learning from them. Keep doing what you are doing if not better.

[@UniDimensionalMonkey]

That sometimes in life the only sane and viable option is to let go of all or some of your gains that you've worked so hard for. Life happens. Sometimes we gain, other times we lose. What matters is to stay healthy both mentally and physiologically. Then apply all 30 lessons once you're in a position to start gaining again and you don't have to worry about anything.

[@TheMadMagician87]

Spot on there mate.

[@HerculesFit]

100% agree.

[@anthonychin8610]

Yes! Letting go (of gains or otherwise) is arguably the most important skill to learn in life

[@FitnessFAQs]

Real talk. Holding on can cause more suffering than accepting the inevitable.

[@Simon-dh2zq]

Great stuff, as always. My best lesson, seek a wide range of approaches but listen to your body.

[@spudnikca8959]

Wise advice. thank you.

[@rxopie64]

Fantastic video thank you

[@GamesGainsandEnergyDrinks]

Clear and concise per usual. Love this channel's data and reflections. I'm always learning and gaining exp when I watch your videos. Thank you.

[@cesarcandanozah7150]

Mad love to you, Daniel.

[@garyslaughter9923]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@alanequi2786]

Learn to blur the lines between skills work, mobility, strength training, rehab and prehab. For example, think of rotator cuff rehab as part of your strength training, and deadlifting as a way to fix your medial epicondylitis. This kind of programming will make stretching second nature, and it will prevent injury. It will also open your mind.

[@nosc0pe]

[@shiv.ansh03]

LOVE THIS VIDEO

[@peterfarr9591]

So many good tips! I love your humble perspective. Btw, great job on your body by rings program! I did it a year ago and saw the greatest gains ever from it and it was so much fun. I ended up switching to my own hybrid routine mostly because tracking progress with calisthenics movements is really hard compared to weights but I still do a full ring workout from time to time because it's just so fun!

[@jessemelendez6305]

Love your videos, you look great and you should consider lending your voice to motivational audio books.

[@WarframeCrunch]

I was skinny guy and I could not go beyond certain weight in lifting, so my lesson and big mistake, was that I didn't eating enough. After I started to eat more, I gone through the lifting weight limit I had for half of year. Second lesson I learned was that I was cheating all the time. I had to lower weight slow down movement to gain more muscle and more strength.

[@lucasbrennan564]

Thanks!

[@LukeStarks]

Happy Birthday, this video was truly great

[@danielmason8574]

Excellent insight and wisdom especially for someone thus young.

[@shantanusapru]

Excellent!!

[@biggestchinenfan]

Do y’all workout before or after work/school? I wanna shift to the morning, but I find that I quite like the feeling of destress with exercise after a workday.

[@AboudSafar]

Thank you for your clear voice

[@DevilsRejection]

Can you make a video just like this, but about nutrition?

[@meralu5251]

Great video 👏👏

[@austinjoseph2881]

Happy Birthday Daniel!!

[@SAY.8.18]

One of your best videos, Daniel. Thank you. This is excellent advice for the gym and for life.

[@jeetkunedophysiologymore4221]

Progressive overload IS good... yet STILL needs to change up at times... should try changing excercises if you want to keep the same exercise mode

[@schvartzniger]

I have never seen such a good content. There are like thousands of channels which spread fake information about gains

Love your channel. I love your view on stretching. I’m turning to your style of strength training at age 62 and loving it. There’s a lot of love in my comment. 😂 Peace brother

[@davidcardone6722]

use a Deload week after 3 weeks of hard training incorporate a deload week. You will not loose muscle or strength - instead you will return fresh and even stronger.

[@vankatasiva2797]

Thankyou

[@spider8668]

Just true. Nothing to add.

[@patrickbourne3819]

Best advice I can give is just do something and don't overdo it. Even if you only do pushups and pull ups your not going to build muscular imbalances over a few weeks while you work it out, I love KZbin but lack of knowledge becomes an excuse at a certain point.

[@petejohnson7965]

The best things I've learnt are the best routine isn't the most optimal one, it's the one you stick to and you need to set your goals and train based on your own body, not what other people say. Some people will look like rugby players and some will look like tennis players, and that's ok.

[@peteklein630]

Damn - I knew you had a BD around now then forgot to look it up. A very belated Happy Birthday!!! Turning thirty is a verry good thing!

[@41BOT]

This is best "TIWIKE" video I have seen .

[@isaactrevino7821]

I would say that ea individual will thrive with very different volumes. I do best when focusing on just 2 main things and just maintaining the rest. I personally do best with high volume thru a weeks time. Like 3 hour workouts daily 6 times weekly. Taking days I'm fatigued to just go low intensity

[@balintlosonci3578]

Wow, this is pure essence, amazing list! After just watching a few videos you earned to me the highest rank of all fitness experts: so far it was Basement bodybuilding, Alex Leonidas, John Meadows, Bald Omni man, Christian Thibaudeau, Frank Zane, Ben Pakulski, GVS, Jason Gallant.

[@hashemmi24]

i learned these in addition to the mentioned: 1-angst: a feeling of deep anxiety or dread, typically an unfocused one about the human condition or the state of the world in general. 2-charlatan: a person falsely claiming to have a special knowledge or skill. 3-majoring in minors: putting undue attention on small things that don’t make a real difference, while neglecting to pay attention to the larger actions that make a huge difference.

[@sahilsauda989]

Thank you fitness ❤️❤️❤️

[@Twitching0991]

I followed FitnessFAQS years ago because I know there is no BS on what Daniel is talking about. In this modern age of fitness industry there are a lot of misinformation. Better stick to the ones who are putting the work for a long time.

[@bhuwanpratap]

You are a good man. Thank you👍

[@ahmadabqori1940]

Consistency is key Its good if we see progress soon but everything need time, just to add some reps to a max rep need some months for me
