I swear to god he's spot on. I ate so little, almost starving, my sleep was messed up, my erection quality was so bad, I was not progressing in the gym, always anxious etc. I added just 1000kcal to my daily diet and all of these symptoms are gone. Also, if you think you can get rid of skinny fatness by eating less, well your body will take whatever you eat and store them in the fat cells. It's weird, when I started eating more, I was thinking that I'm gonna become skinny fatter(?) but the opposite happened, I gained muscle.

[@raunakgoswami730]

Bro i think u were trying to maintain a very low body fat level. Get to a body fat level at which you have enough energy to train hard and build muscle from there

[@E-commerceBoxing]

That’s called newbie gains. Almost everybody that is skinny fat has just not gotten their newbie gains. When you’re first getting newbie gains, your muscles are going to have exponential growth in a short amount of time as long as you workout a decent amount, eat enough, and get good sleep. Newbie gains when you’re skinny fat will make you get rid of fat and make you have significant muscle growth at the same time. That doesn’t apply after you’ve gotten all your newbie gains. If you want me to give more clarification or give further information, feel free to ask.

[@gregdoucette]

Strange title. But in real life you dont need to bulk unless ur underweight or too lean of dont have enough energy from your current diet. If you already fat or overweight and want to add more muscle adding an even bigger surplus is NOT the answer. So in simple terms if your already FAT dont bulk more and if you are very lean bulking may be a good idea. Just because you want to add more muscle (and who doesn’t) does not give you an excuse to add in a large surplus as all that will happen is you will be big and fat.

[@123wahooguy]

I'm so conflicted after this video coach Greg. I've been cutting for 4 months and have moderate muscles and little bit of lower belly fat, I don't understand if I should continue cutting to get rid of the belly fat or bulk for bigger muscles.. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

If you answered no to all of these questions then you don’t need to cut. It’s healthy to have some belly fat, a lot of people do. The goal here is to be healthy is it not? If you’re at a healthy weight there’s no need to cut unless you just want to do it to see how it feels. Not everyone needs to be shredded Instagram model level. If you want to do that then go ahead, it’s your choice but if you’re not having health problems from your weight I would prioritize muscle growth if I were you but that’s just me

The biggest problem I have with the "just bulk bro" advice is that people use it as an excuse to get fat as fuck. Like bro, maybe in the first few months of lifting go for a classic bulk but you really don't need that many calories to maximize muscle growth. 1-2 pounds per month should be the recommendation not fucking 2-4 pounds. If anyone is reading this and they're at least 6 months into lifting, TRACK EVERYTHING and get surgically good at controlling your weight. If you do that you can maximize your muscle growth and still look good.

Bro I'm 5'9" and weighed about 260lbs at the start of the year, so I started working out. I lowered my calories to something ridiculously low like 1200 calories and always felt like shit. About 2 months ago I stopped losing weight and was stuck at 210lbs, and i was like fuck this i want to feel better so I started eating way healthier. I've been on a chicken breast, lean turkey, egg, potato, sometimes beef, and beans and I think im eating around 2500 calories, but im not sure. Anyway, I started making crazy strength gains and started shedding fat. Now im sitting at 186-190lbs and I feel great and look the best I have ever looked.

[@bayareabruh]

I used to be a pizza, fastfood guy occasionally while i lifted. When you eat healthy consistently the basic healthier foods and water will taste better. Its exchanging heavily saturating food for healthy food, your body will adapt overtime and transition. If your family doesnt cook or have healthy food, then youre going to have to cook yourself. Its cheaper long term to cook healthy food rather than eating out constantly. Your energy will get better too as opposed to the fast food. Everything gets better even financially if you take care of yourself.

[@donaldpercival544]

I bear my testimony this is true

[@ilcorbellodipianoia8646]

bro hamza you’ve managed to make me feel like an absolute idiot. when i first clicked this video i wanted to be open minded ab what you were gonna say but i didn’t think you were gonna make me change my mind. but you are right. i’m in this awkward skinny fat phase while i’m at a high body fat and my stomach looks sloppy and i don’t have a whole lot of muscle mass yet i’m actually pretty lean in my upper body and legs and a lot of people tell me that my body looks good but i wanna be bigger and i want to clean up my abs. and rn i’ve been trying to be on a “recomp”, in a caloric deficit while trying to get in as much protein as i can, which usually isn’t as much as i should be getting. but really all that’s gonna do is make my muscles even leaner than i want them to be and i’m barely gonna gain any muscle mass if any. ig it would be good for fat loss but i can lose fat on a bulk while getting bigger also and not worrying ab being super lean. plus the main thing that makes my body looks so awkward is the fact that my stomach is carrying too much fat and my upper body is also small so even if my stomach doesn’t get any leaner, which it probably will anyways, i’ll at least be getting bigger and just fill out the frame and look better in general. so thanks hamza.

I've been working on and off for the past decade but I've been skinny fat for the most parts. As a matter of fact, I've been strict counting calories and cutting while at it. All I got were an eating disorder and more fluffy skinny fat. Since I've started bulking and getting my hormones to function normally again, I'm easily gaining muscle. My body fat is currently at around 19-20% but I'm looking more muscular and better everyday.

[@beffjezos3911]

This hurts. But I 1000% agree. I got the advice of bulking when I started lifting but just like Hamza I ignored it and focus on staying lean thus my lifts suffered. Now everyone who started lifting with me and even a year later than me has BETTER lifts(ie a lot stronger than me) and they look a lot better than me.

I watched that 47 min video that you had and it was awesome.

In that video you had said that when eating the healthy foods it is hard to bulk. Earlier I would have thought "This guy is full of it. It is so easy to eat extra calories and bulk" because ,although I am lean, before I had to fight to stay lean. When I started cutting out the sugar and processed stuff it has made it hard to eat extra calories and then this pops up in my feed lol.

I needed to hear this. I've sort of recomped for a good bit but on low as hell calories cos I underestimated and I was detrained from before and I've been obsessed with leeeeeaning down so that if I bulk I look better. I have those crappier Asian genes you were talking about and it was super relatable. Im hovering around 14-16% tho it seems I'm always underestimating and it's been doing my head in and my body dysmorphia has jus shot up. It's lean bulk time now Also I won't lie, bulking is just too easy to not do, I've always been a huge eater of clean foods

[@javiervalles9782]

Respectfully disagree, Hamza. I've been lifting consistently since April of last year. I'm going 5 days/week currently. My numbers aren't spectacular: squated 345, deadlifted 405 and benched 225. I was skinny-fat at the start, around 18% bf at 205 lbs, and made the mistake of bulking at first. Got to 240 lbs. Am at 208 as of this morning. The answer wasn't gaining more weight, it was getting strong while maintaining weight. Now, I've gone from April of this year to now losing the fat and getting back to my old weight while still getting stronger. There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to getting a better body. You said you started at 115 lbs? At your height? Bruv. Yeah, that kid need needs to bulk. I needed to stay the same weight. At 240, I needed to lose weight. Also, a single square of dark chocolate? That might work for you sometimes or even most of the time, but I don't believe you for a second when you say you've never had that second square. It's ridiculous to suggest other people follow this methodology for a treat. Like, you need to stop autistically telling people they need to follow this one regimen that totally works every single time because willpower, bro. My thing is if I REALLY need a sweet fix, I'll grab a pint of halo top ice cream and eat the whole thing. It's 300-ish calories. I don't allow myself to do it more than once a week and more often it ends up being twice a month. I also cook the vast majority of my own meals. THAT's what you should be preaching. Learn how to cook your own damn meals. Good meals. Learn how to eyeball macros and make sure the scale is headed in the right direction week-on-week. The not-so-obvious, yet objective, thing to tell people is that there is never a need to go above 15% for general fitness and strength goals. There's natties at about that bf % that can deadlift in the 700s.

[@Dogflamingo]

Yeah, I agree. Fitness advise isn't always a one size fits all, sometimes you have to look at your own needs and evaluate what you need to do. For me even in a deficit I'm able to gain a fair bit of strength. Obviously not a huge deficit, but still good enough to lose fat and eat relatively normally. I can't really speak on cravings or snacks though, because I straight up have little to no desire for them. Maybe eat some if it fits into my daily calorie intake and my protein intake is fine, but otherwise no snacks for me. Learning to make your own meals is a hugely important skill though, and I think everybody should learn to do that

[@timmh_7]

I agree to this too. I think the main difference here is Hamza was at 115 which is really skinny and therefore he feels a calorie surplus should be the way. For me personally, I started out overweight, near obese at 28 BMI so when I cut down the past couple months I didn't look skinny fat. Will probably start bulking soon though now that I'm at a healthy weight.

I'm over 24 and I'm 195 pounds of lean muscle mass. Till this day I genuinely can't believe I wasted 4 years of my life around 12-15% body fat at 165 pounds thinking "This is my final form with these abs bb". Cringe.

Couldn't agree more I started working out around 8 months ago and there's been overwhelming progress. I was always a strong and big person but I honestly just got fat during quarantine. So even me I used the first 2 to 4 months to just workout and eat healthy not to you know "cut" because at the time I didn't have any muscle to cut down to. However around the 5th month once I did I started to cut I went from 255 to 211 and it's been amazing. Once I get to 205 I'm starting my bulking stage. A little excited mainly nervous about it but I know it's gonna do wonders for me and I can't wait for it. Wish me luck boys as it'll probably start in like a week to a month 🤞

I run track.I bulked over quartine thinking it would get my faster,which it did,but I was still getting beat by my rival.I then cut and now I’m very lean(track body).A matter a fact a beat a very bulky guy in the 100m dash which I thought I was going to lose too.(confidence was low at the time,and my rival had a track body)Lesson to yall? Trail and error,focus on yourself and do what works best for whatever you’re trying to accomplish.

[@Samuel115s]

It is true that bulking properly is difficult. When I bulk I end up eating stuff that I should not due to my increased appetite and lack of motivation to always cook.

[@alexostertag]

This is very true and gives lots of clarity thank you hamza

[@luisangel7014]

Non better idea to teach Young men to be more confident and hard working that giving them such example of a right Ideal Men like Adonis does. Great Videos Hamza keep the good work.

[@SaucyPrime]

I tried cutting for 2 weeks, and trust me, i was literally near my deathbed. College, workout, assignment, plus cut diet = total disaster. Now i'm bulking rn. Even though I look fat (probably its all in my mind), i did gain 3 pacs😂, and wide back, buff looking chest. Well, it's gonna take time to get the result, and i'm ready for it.

[@Redamfkp]

what your progress man

[@SaucyPrime]

@@Redamfkp well I'm now 102 kg lmao, not fat mostly muscle. But I might've lost some cos I couldn't head to gym for 2 weeks, and yes, my biceps kinda looks smaller than before, but I can go back to how I was once I start going to gym regularly again

@@SaucyPrime how much weight did you gain and what's your height?

I find that intermediate fasting and bulking mixed together is the weirdest greatest mix ever when it comes to building muscle just gotta find the right balance

i came back after rejecting this video and cutting as i was scared of getting more fat. Now i realize the mistake i made, 3 months later i am back to take hamzas wisdom.

[@MehProdModezt]

edit: Actually i enjoyed the confidence boost it gave me, and i grew discipline on the process. Still wouldn’t recommend to cut though, if you’re skinny fat you should bulk.

[@retro3158]

Hamza always brings good video in good time for me...I was gonna start cut (My first time ever doing workouts eating healthy and other shit) but after looking at his vid...I am gonna bulk

[@weixian.tan.99]

Hi Hamza! I started cooking potatoes, random greens. (Sometimes carrots and tomato) Most are potatoes as I saw from your other video. I haven't tried roasting yet, pretty great idea because gosh it takes me an hour to cook with all the pans and stuff then wash them. I have't tried mature cheddar before. Really grateful for your advice today man! Keep it up! Jiayous! (almost forgot) At one point of time, I got loads of ulcers, sometimes real pain ones, so I ended up drinking as much water as I can when that happens. Right now, I'm having 2 ulcers top and bottom :')

[@DevilBitsh]

I needed to hear that so much! I almost thought of sacrificing my newbie gains to get those abs popping D:

[@deeznuts23yearsago]

I started off really fat and dropped 30kg in the first year I’m not worried about the bulk making me look shit because I know that underneath my work is still there Plus I love looking bigger more than lean because I was bullied for being weak for years so being big and stronger than them is best for me The ones who mocked me are the ones who fuel me

[@pavannair6469]

You don't have to cut. I was skinny fat and I went on a body recomposition with a cut and now I'm pretty lean. Being in a calorie deficit but including as much as protein as possible and doing resistance training and cardio. It depends on your weight and body fat percentage. If you're skinny fat but underweight or at a healthy weight, then you should bulk to gain muscle, but if you're overweight or close to overweight then you need to cut as you can reduce your body fat percentage and you can build muscle aswell

[@itr-my9eq]

I agree with you Hamza. I've been training on and off for the past 7 years. Have gone from litteral obesity to a lean muscular Greek God. I will say however, the skinny fat boys do benefit from bulking but someone in my situation who or already has a base, got lazy stopped working out. Our goals are to utilize muscle memory, cut and regrow. Anyone who stopped being consistent, get back in the gym eat roughly maintenance Calories and cut then bulk up again. The first month will always be difficult from then on its light work. Good luck anyone who reads this wish you all the best

[@victormocanu5211]

Hello,I am a tenager that has been on the bulk for like 1.2 years,at the start it was super hard,but now it became natural and easy,now I have a lot of high calory and protein meals that I enjoy,I replaced unhealthy snacs with healthy ones,peanuts,walnuts,etc..

[@gabi33393]

If it became natural, your BMR went up and you're actually eating at maintenance now

[@usamakhanfit]

Really depends on bodyfat levels, even if the guy is skinnyfat, if his bodyfat levels are high like 20% then cutting/recomp is a good idea. If not then bulking is the solution.

[@VuongNgocHieu99]

halfway through the video... i decided to go and make more food . hell yea brother this is motivating

[@64-bit63]

As a skinny 16 year old I've been skinny all my life until I have bulked. My maintainance was under 1500 a day in the covid pandemic. It was really low. Some days I only ate a yoghurt for breakfast and dinner. It was not because of choice but because I didn't know any better. When I started going to the gym I started tracking my food and I saw that I was undereating and I had lost muscle mass. Now I'm trying to get it back thank you hamza

[@robpaulson6568]

Here is a bulking tip I am currently following: Don't eat in the morning at all. Eat a heavy lunch and only time you eat carbs is lunch. For dinner:6 eggs,milkshake with flaxseeds,peanuts and bananas and protein powder. You're probably still gonna be hungry due to lack of carbs as I am everyday so eat some fruits at night to curb that hunger. Hamza is right,bulking on healthy foods is a nightmare if you don't properly time your nutrition.

[@ArixSage]

Doesn't even matter whether the food is "healthy". Depending on how aggressive the bulk is (how big the surplus is), you will still gain fat.

[@ArixSage]

And I agree about carbs, people shouldn't just eliminate them.

[@hendrikkiefer3325]

Leaving out breakfast is the worst advice for bulking ever
