Biggest thing that helped me being a skinny 140 lbs until my late twenties was patience. Not seeing the big results I expected in the amount of time and effort I was putting in discouraged me a TON. Alsways saying to myself I just can’t gain weight. It took 3 years of 6 days a week training to finally get the body I want and now it’s just an addiction to the feeling that working out gives me.

[@trevormassoth2802]

Same boat dawg. Took FOREVER to put on muscle.

[@gerwsgse]

Needed this. Been on n off training since I was a teen but never seriously. Had a breakup 2 years ago major depression and went down to 9 stone (126lbs) by not allowing myself to eat for 2-3 days and no activity. Since September last year I been training consistently and I probably weigh around 145-155lbs, haven’t put on craziest amount of size or muscle but I feel soooo much stronger and more defined in my whole body. I think I just need to add 1-2 more meals a day and consistently keep training and I’ll be there. Only thing is I have a decent amount of belly fat. Abs are slightly peaking when i tense and lean a certain way but I don’t do any sports or cardio, so that’s probably my problem. Thinking about taking creatine soon also

[@manman22576]

Yes, i've been there.. People think that all you need to do is hard work 24/7, but that's not true. You only work hard at the gym, just to finish the reps, that's it. Stressing yourself beyond that is unnecessary. As long as you are being consistent, in your workout, resting, and eating enough calories depends on your goal, you're already doing your best 👍👍

[@Yann2020]

Tbh even after 2 years of training I still hate it. I saw results and everything, but the training in itself just annoys me. Maybe calisthenics are a bit more fun to me but the gym totally annoyed me at some point. My point is that I think everyone will love a certain way to workout, but you should find it on your own.

Thanks for the tips bro. One thing that helped me tremendously was mindset. Many times during college I started going to the gym, was impatient, and just went as hard as I could, only to mistreat my body and quit because of the unsustainable big goals. As I’ve grown older and have found how powerful self compassion can be I totally changed my strategy. I went to the gym to battle my anxiety and I started to go as slow as possible, exploring every machine and educating myself. One year later and I’m a different person, mind and body. Keep going everybody! Believe in yourself! Also, the coaches of the Nike Run App and Nike Training App are the best ;)

Some tips that helped me get shredded. I obviously train quiet a lot already but below changes have had a significant impact on my physique: - Pull ups and chin ups. Single handedly my favoruite physique building exercise. My biceps started popping whilst getting a nicer wider back. - Prioritize protein with every meal, and every ingredient you buy (keeps you more satiated). Also, bananas are great for making you feel full. - 10 minutes of cardio is better than no cardio - Learn how much calories there is in everything you eat, you don't need to be obsessed but have a general idea - Don't deny yourself chocolate, but why not have a chocolate protein bar instead? - Although preservatives and sweeteners aren't healthy, neither is sugar. Get a diet coke instead. - Eat less carbs... I never realised how much water weight I store due to carbs. I am not saying go full keto, but I feel like the easy food people buy are so loaded with carbs it's unreal. My face shape has changed so much! - Sleep well. Stress and lack of sleep affect your cortisol levels - Drink plenty of fluids - Creatine: although you should drink more water when taking it I look absolutely amazing when loaded with creatine

Now I'm just in maintain mode.

[@Sharivari]

Consistency is what I had always problems with. I started lifting, did way too much and after a couple of weeks I just completely stopped because I couldn't handle it anymore. Then I took a step back and just implemented what I could handle. Just two training days a week. I am doing this for six months now and I already see results. It's slow, but steady.

I tend to go to the gym pretty consistently for months until I end up getting niggling injuries, probably to training with too much weight too often or because I don't spend enough time getting warm and loose before going at it. Been going twice a week recently and definitely giving more recovery time is really helping. I also play sports once a week and will add some other cardio in on other days.

[@avinashrao7359]

One really important thing that wasn't mentioned was sleep. Make sure you get a solid 8 hours every night if possible, the closer you get to 8 hours of restful sleep, the better. It helps muscle growth and fat loss a lot. Without proper sleep your body won't be able to change as quickly, so your results will take more time and you'll also generally be lower energy which makes working out to failure harder.

@@infosite999 yes, i agree. One needs to sleep long enough to feel energized and mind focused during the day. The amount of sleep for that will vary from person to person. 8 hours is not pseudo science, its just an average.

i feel fine on 6 hours of sleep but always want to actually sleep like 10, I'm tired waking up before 10 hours but once I'm up I can get through the day easily with 6

I have a rare condition where I need to be high on meth all day in order to exercise. I usually do about 2 pushups a day, in sets of 1 pushup. I rest in between sets by eating several zebra cakes. Aesthetic af

best video i've watched in a while

[@Adam-G777]

Dude, this was a great and informative video!👍 I've been training for about 30 years and I just loved your no nonsense, no frills presentation style with pretty much all bases covered for a solid plan to get in great shape. It was even inspiring to see you filming and training from what I assume is your home because let's be honest... this is where we all started from. Keep up the great attitude and content mate... sending good vibes from the UK. 🇬🇧👍

You developed a very beautiful physique. Congratulations for your focus and dedication to reach your goal. What is almost more beautiful than the physical results, though, is the personality that shines through each video. Blessings.

Man I tried to do some pull ups at the gym this past week and I absolutely can not do even 1 yet lol I'm just too heavy. I was using the assisted machine as well and had it with the most possible weight assisting me and I could barely do 1 and it was horribly sloppy. I'm going to try again next week and do those at the very beginning of the workout and see if that makes any difference, but all in all, for a beginner they're really tough. I'm not giving up though. My teenagerhood dream was to be able to do a dragon flag and a human flag. Then a few years back my goal was to do a whole muscle-up with proper form all the way through. I want to achieve these things for myself now, without money or transportation being an issue getting in the way of the gym.

[@colinmurrayYT]

That’s a great goal! I think you can do it just make sure to stay with it and the pull-ups will come. Good luck and work on negative pull-ups and dragon flag progression as you get leaner🫡🫡

[@SemperSalam]

The assisted machine is pretty good if you use it consistently. Also jumping up using your momentum and slowing going down can help build strength

between all the professional videography and fluff nowadays, this is truly a breath of fresh air, Authentic, simple and easy to implement. Thank you.

[@motivemystic]

Wow, this video is amazing! I've always admired the "greek god aesthetic" and it's so nice to see someone sharing their journey and tips to achieve it. The way you explain the basics of training and organization is so clear and helpful. I can't wait to implement these ideas into my own routine. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@NickBrown79]

My TIPS to getting lean (how to make a stick-to-able diet) - Find healthy things you don't get sick of. For me that's Eggs, low-sugar cheese (mozz sticks are great for this), tuna packs (there's these pre-made tuna packages that come with a little spoon and they're flavored - Jalapeno is the best). - you get the idea. If you ONLY EAT stuff that's healthy, even if you over-eat, you'll likely still lose weight. Cutting out the processed junk is key - LOW SUGAR - CHECK EVERYTHING - IT"S EVERYWHERE!!! (fruit's ok, but fruit juice - HORRIBLE). Good luck!

[@augustolpr9567]

For me, working out, having a realistic grooming routine (use good shampoo and conditioner, take care of your skin by washing your face, use some good quality perfume, brush your teeth at least 3 times a day), having clean clothes (not necessarily new or fancy) having good body posture and making eye contact made the difference.
