How To Build Your First 5 kg of Muscle | Detailed Guide (ft. Jeff Nippard)

[@anantshirpurkar5434]

Dude I never comment on any videos I watch, ever. But can’t tell you how glad I am to see this video show up on my feed. I was watching your videos back in 2016 and learned all the basics of fitness and nutrition from you. So happy to see you back. Please don’t vanish or stop this time around.

Years ago I bought your program and it set me on a path of caring about my health and fitness that I still follow today. I'm so happy to see you back dude.

[@knotwilg3596]

When a video is packed with information, backed up by science, >20 minutes long, the creator doesn't ask you to like and subscribe, instead refers to a credible other creator and indeed hasn't published another video in a year ... you know you came to the right place. This video is enough for hours, days, weeks, months perhaps even years of training. It doesn't lead to years of watching youtube videos. This is high quality information and ironically should get the kind of revenue the others are making with their addictive content provision.

[@riadbouazza466]

So happy you're still around man. Don't disappear again.

[@dertyp3945]

[@adithyabhat6622]

I have to say, this is the perfect beginner training explanation I've ever seen. I wish this video existed 5 years ago when i started at the gym. Would have saved me so much time with trial and error going through the millions of videos online from thousands of fitness influencers. I'll be sure to share this video whenever one of my friends wants to start hitting the gym.

[@sasagrcevic475]

There is no "beginner" training explanation. You figure out muscle groups, get exercises for them (nothing fancy or too much), do full body training 2 or 3 times a week and watch your diet a bit. And that's all there is to working out.

[@michaelsotomayor5001]

My man you’re back? Can I just say you’re the reason I lost thirty pounds. When I saw a video of yours almost eight years ago. Thank you!

[@dotdashdotdash]

It's been a year now since he posted

[@m.-w.y.5417]

Missed you man, you inspired me to start self-improvement and eventually become a PT and a physiotherapist. I've been working on this field since 2016, after consuming a bunch of your videos. I'm happy to see you back bro, keeo doing what you're doing and we will support you!

[@originalthoth7313]

Video fails to explain how thin people can be stronger than big muscled ones. I've seen this too many times, so much that I don't think anyone making these workout videos understands anything

[@originalthoth7313]

Anatoly is an example There is much more to strength then just muscle size or maximum weight lifted or volume Why exactly thin people can be much much stronger than these gym bubbly guys, no science can explain lol

[@WarriorHabits]

This is probably the best guide to hypertrophy in 20 mins I've ever found. That's after almost 20 years of training. Foarte bine!

Damn dude this video is once again so good! Good feeling as a beginner (half year training) that I’m tracking in notes and working with progressive overload. Hitting most of these points succesfully and noticing good muscle growth! Going to focus on going to failure more and sometimes trying to completely go for failure. Feels like the best thing to increase on right now.

Man i started gym by watching your videos 8 years ago brother! missed you

[@Vestu]

Great video. Thanks man! Feeling good about going to the gym today. I've just had the simple idea of keeping a log of my weights and improving them systematically, always pushing a slightly higher weight (those 1.25kg discs become handy). I don't go super scientific with my eating, I just eat like a normal person but no sugar junk and I try to keep a hefty amount of protein and carbs and fats going on. So far getting quite good results in the 6 months I've gone to the gym again actively (I was active for years in 2014-2018, now getting back at it).

[@sebytro]

Reasons I really like this video: it's well made, has proper information and the video creator is Romanian. Bravo! 🙂

I’m so glad to see you back! So glad there’s so many of your followers saying the same.

[@nipungupta8846]

Very very interesting video. Learned quite a bit. Definitely did not know about the RIR concept till now. If I would prematurely stop an exercise while still having a few reps in the bag, I would typically feel bad about it - but did not know it is something that I can actually incorporate into the routine! Thanks a lot for this!

[@tim72184]

RIR is crap. It's pump work for the enhanced lifter.

[@Oonggaboong]

I love the fact that they're using Sims 4 for the animation. I love both of weightlifting and The Sims. :)

[@javarisjavaris4877]

Love your videos, and coming from a gym newb that got stuck early on I can understand why now cuz I would be the one to raise weight but lower reps and call it progress... A lot of info and sample workouts that many wouldn't do for free I appreciate it a ton!

[@damanbhatia7]

The legend is back!!

[@grammarnazi1868]

This video was extremely useful, but I'm wondering: could you do a similar one (you don't have to cover theoretical concepts already covered here) using only bodyweight? I'd love to know what the equivalence for the RM/weights in general would be for bodyweight.

[@BenDover-tk3jj]

I want too know to. Don't you think it's also need a thing for SLMA behaviours and scans be nice to? Would've thought it'll come up but apparently no.

[@melvladimir]

Yes, it's possible, but harder (IMHO), takes more time and needs some creative approach (or trainers). For example, you can look at ballet dancers and their legs, they work with their own body weight (for example, 3 hours per day, 6 days per week). Or gymnasts. But it takes hours daily. As for me, I don't want to spend so much time on this, that's why I prefer gym and 1 hour/day, 4 days/week.

[@MiScusi69]

@@BenDover-tk3jj I'm a grammar nazi too, *to know too. And I straight on did not understand the second period.

It's crazy how I was checking Nippard's work and recommending you to a friend as a long gone youtuber who I started learning with in my fitness journey and just when I was going to look for your channel to send him a video THIS INCREDIBLE COMEBACK shows up in my YT feed, crazy huh? So happy to see you back Radu!

[@Smitho94]

When adding up sets per muscle, would 3 sets of bench press count as 3 sets of tricep exercises? I know triceps aren’t the focus of the exercise but they do some work. Just trying to figure out how many times a week I should be doing isolation movements on top of compounds. Thanks.

[@dynamicx785]

Bench normally doesn’t count as tricep sets

[@TheUnderMasked]

Waiting for part 2!

[@edgar-sama642]

Over how many months a 5kg muscle gain is realistic?

[@tolkien2013]

3

[@tolkien2013]

Even less sometimes

[@ig_blaze63]

3-5 months

[@parkerbosley2248]

Those guys are full of shit. Building 5kg of muscle can take close to a year or even longer. Unless you’re on gear (steroids), nobody is putting on 10lbs of muscle in 3-5 months.

[@42smash36]

3 weeks MAX

[@ankityadav25]

Radu, we missed you my man!! So have to see your video back in the feed❤

[@EsrohNchainS]

This was great. I’m a beginner at lifting I’m glad you touched on different arm Lengths and how it’s different. I’m 6’8 and everyone’s always told me it’s no different then a shorter person… but it is. I have to travel 2x further. When I do bench press I feel more pain and failure in my elbows then my chest. Is that normal? Would be nice if you or Jeff can do a video like this for people 6’6 and up work outs lolZ

[@llean3679]

You’ll do better with dumbells for chest cause you will have more room to adjust to your build.

[@alan2052]

You’re probably too big to have a good grip on the barbel on a normal sized bench your elbows should be 90• on the bar

[@kurrents6112]

Make sure your bench form is good too. I use the cue of pushing my elbows away from my body and together. Helps me imagine chest activation

[@davidovichus9575]

Good job, one of the best and most explicit fitness videos about training out there now

[@DrStench13]

Nothing has been able to tell me what I should be aiming for or where to start or the theory behind it, I just get given exercise routines that are either too easy or too difficult with no explanation of what progress looks like, (aim for 6-12 reps, increase weight, if not increase rep, if not increase set, push to within 0-3 rep of failure) Thankyou, you rule
