I've been saying for years that I've never met somebody jacked that didn't have a fluffy/fat bulking phase that lasted a while. A major caloric surplus for an extended period is one of the best things you can do to build muscle.

Personnally my brother put on like 15kgs in around 1-2 years and always stayed lean. He had a really low bodyfat to start with and always ate good food, even after eating a simple ice cream he would go run and like he never counted his calories or anything. Idk might just be the genetics. I find myself kinda putting on fat when im trying to bulk tho.

[@chriswilson1968]

Anything more than 300 calories over maintenance is just gonna turn to fat.

[@cauecarvalho6996]

​@@chriswilson1968bro if u have a 600 surplus u will make more muscle than 300 but it will be like 70 80% fat, but if u have the self control to maintaim that surplus then do a cut u will get muscle faster, it just will be pretty harder

I'm really glad I stumbled upon this channel. It's good to see different perspectives on this stuff. I've been lifting for 3 months now (I'm 24yo and had never lifted a dumbbell prior) and I feel like it's very important for noobs like me to know how to filter information about how we should lift. So thanks for this and I look forward to seeing more of your content.

[@thomassalahub8219]

I thought it was a good point you made that a younger person would not listen to the advice to eat only chicken & rice, not to drink etc, because no other guys are doing it at that age. Right now I think that it was actually kind a good thing I did not really have friends outside school from the age 14 - 18, because otherwise I would've just been in shitty groups drinking etc. 19 soon and thanks to my younger self I am way ahead of my peers regarding muscle mass and strength since I compete at powerlifting as well. Also just now I have gotten a few really close high quality friends who are on self improvement too. And I think that It has only been possible since I chose loneliness over shitty friends. Not encouraging anyone to be a lone wolf, it is not the way to go. You really are missing on one of the most important things in life, human connection. Sometimes just being alone might be the better option. For a while.

[@MrHyjac]

One thing I think should be said, I notice even for myself, when I pushed the volume and over did intensity I definitely got bigger but my strength was dirt. Now my strength is way up and STILL on that trajectory but I focus more on recovery while still training to failure or close to it. And I’m bigger. So I think it’s more a question of do you want to be big because of volume or strength?

[@mariushager9983]

for sure thats why its a good idea to have phases of both tbh.

[@rexoner2000]

Great video I’m in my late 40’s and have been every size. 180lbs-305lbs jacked to Fat. I managed to get back to 190lbs but just trying to stay lean. (Sub 1000 cal sometimes 500 cal) This info works both ways I need to get out of the lean zone responsibly and guilt free to build some “muscle” not even crazy mass. ✅

It doesn't take 3 years to get noticably jacked. In just 3 months you can make a very noticeable difference if you're committed and diet is on point.

[@jaredboyd2957]

My experience is perhaps different. Im 41 years old and have lifted pretty solid for 22 years. I built some good permanent muscle but had trouble putting on real size. I decided to raise my testosterone from 600 to 1000 and bam! With a weight lifters diet and eating every two hours I went from 165 lbs to 200 lbs. I think all the years of conditioning my muscles helped tremendously,because I'm not carrying water at all,it's real muscle. Couldn't be happier!

Strength work added to good periodization with a focus still on Hypertrophy is integral to building large muscles. Think of it as little kick starts to increase the weight when doing pure Hypertrophy. They can work extremely well together it just takes logical planning.

[@miket4014]

It's funny watching lifting advice go full circle. When I started in the 2000s it was a series of isolations and machines and almost no barbell work. Everyone copied some advanced bodybuilder even though they were a beginner. To be honest I don't miss it. Felt like I spun my wheels for those years, and coming back in later in life I was able to make much bigger gains, much faster, with more measurable performance improvements. Though my goals aren't 1:1 with a lot of people's.

[@theerealatm]

I agree with the school lunches. We had the regular lunch or the alacarte line with the "good food" and I'd get two basket of fries. A dollar each.... Almost everyday. Literally almost everyday. I didn't get fat but it created a bad eating habit.

[@theprodigy5936]

Everyone is different and it’s about finding what’s good for you. On the dumbbells I like to do 8-12 sets per rep, anymore than 12 and my joints (left elbow) start to hurt after a few hours of training, so I keep the weights set for that.

[@45wasright43]

I respect these guys because they're honest about their training, diet and their lifestyle in relation to building muscle. Mark is even honest about his steroid use. Unfortunately there are many out there who still go around as fake naturals even if it's obvious that they use anabolic steroids. And many won't even tell you about how long they've been training for.

[@thebrokenmask8304]

Considering 80% of fitness influencers are on PE (yeah even most who swear they arent to their smooth brained goblins armies) it might seem easy but the real average answer is.... atleast 2-3 years of clean nutrition and steady work out. Anyone who tell you he got jacked AND has super low body fat in under a year is as natty as a blueberry candy spray.

[@renasouza8261]

It's one thing to be noticed by people you know, that takes around 6 months for people to notice you changed. And another thing entirely for people who never met you to notice you are jacked, I guess I'm not at that point yet, been training for a year and a half now.

[@edwisongogo6326]

Do u think the newer generation is hyperbolic about what is considered jacked, like using it to describe impressive newbie gains for example?

[@o-neil]

I disagree with the "only 10-20 reps" thing. I think bodybuilders should do strength cycles, the same way strength athletes do hypertrophy cycles. Every couple of months i think a bodybuilder should do a full on, heavy, lower rep strength cycle with the only goal being increasing max lifts. It allows for more hypertrophy potential. Also you will never see (for example) a great high bar squatter with small legs.

[@efazrahman2610]

How long would one of these strength cycles last

[@edwisongogo6326]

It's not just cycles of "every couple of months". You talking about periodization and that can be done by per workout as well, u can separate low rep, moderate and high rep within a workout and reap the rewards of periodization which yes will be beneficial for muscle hypertrophy, the boy in the video is unfortunately unaware of this, deeply obssessed with staying away from strenght training he doesn't understand how it can provide a different varied stimulus, which combined with high and moderate rep range will provide more muscle hypertrophy.

[@stafty8858]

me personnaly i train both, bench heavy for 1-5 reps for 4 sets, then incline or smith bench for 15ish reps for 4 sets. same with deadlifts and squats. that way i get strength and hypertrophy. works well

Why not be young and stupid, as it's the only time in my life I can be? Just letting my opinion out there, obviously people can think otherwise.

[@damsdee2214]

I normally aim for 10-15 reps where its on the verge of failure or at failure. However id say 25% of my sets overall where i go heavier and where i can only manage anywhere 4-8 reps. My aim is to build a better physique but i still wanna stimulate my muscles for strength just enough so i can get stronger.

[@edwisongogo6326]

Periodization is directly beneficial to muscle hypertrophy so i disagreed with the video a bit. Besides strength, incorporating low, moderate and high rep range in one training program is actually more beneficial for specifically hypotrophy then exclusively doing 10- 20, 15-20, 10-15 etc.

[@damsdee2214]

@@edwisongogo6326 i kind of feel the same. Obviously whether you aim for hypertrophy or strength mainly, you still develop a physique and strength. Of course both ways produce more of the correlating/desired result. So i dont see any harm to mix in both while you mainly maintain focus on one of these as the primary form of exercise.

At around 7:30 you're talking about not going out and stuff like that, but don't you think it's good to do that every once in a while IF you enjoy it? Obi was talking about getting flack but he also mentioned he was doing bodybuilding shows. If you have friends that are going out and doing stuff like that I think you should still go out with them, but not every time.
