Can you get those sharp cuts naturally? Without taking steroids or drink protein drinks?

[@karhammer]

@@rdu239 If you drink "protein drinks" you're still natural buddy. To the main question, i guess you could, but it will take years of hard training to still mantain some muscle while you do have that low fat %. To be honest i believe he must be taking some light doeses of roids, so don't think you can look EXACTLY like he does natty, not to mention at 40yrs old.

[@GuilainMusic]

He is so ripped I can feel my muscle grow bigger just watching him talk lol 😂

[@GuilainMusic]

Apparently you get the sharp cuts by training your muscle while elongated. Protein is for muscle growth after the training so there is no link, and you only need them if you don't eat enough eggs meat etc. Steroids are dangerous and not useful I think.

[@GuilainMusic]

If you train hard for a couple weeks you will be amazed by the results you can get naturally, just using training.

3 months ago, I started weight training for the first time using a push/pull/legs split, no days off. I loved it, I felt great. I used to take a cold shower afterwards and leave the gym feeling like a champ. However, after like 1 month, my body just told me "No". I felt extremely sleepy throughout the day even though I would sleep 7-8 hours a night, sometimes more. I got these hunger cravings like never before and I just felt like a zombie at the gym. However, I would get my workout in even with all the pain. I think that for beginners, it is essential to note that taking days off is important. Everyone is different genetically, but if your body tells you No, then listen. At first, I thought I was just being lazy/pussy. But that's not it at all. Point is, listen to your body.

[@armandocostigliola2597]

Low testosterone bro

[@legaleagle46]

Absolutely. I remember my first week of training when I went back to the gym about six weeks ago after several years of doing nothing. Monday, fine. Tuesday, fine. Wednesday, every movable part of my body was sore and felt as though it were made of lead. I got the message: "You WILL take a rest day today -- OR ELSE!" So Sundays and Thursdays are both my rest days now.

[@owo7094]

If you just started you absolutely need to do like max 4 days x week and give your body 1 day of recovery, in this way you won't feel like a zombie at the gym

[@unplugged123]

those hunger cravings is your body telling you it needs more nutrients for its muscle recovery. eat more and supplement.

Slow down the count as you return to the starting position while holding the tension on the muscle you are working on. Use heavier weight up to the point that you can't maintain the proper form. You'll be sore as shit.

7 weeks ago I was 35, 6'4", approx 180lbs. Very skinny as I've been my whole life. Since 15 (20 years) I've struggled with chronic depression and chronic anxiety. For over a decade i gave up on myself and accepted it, accepted that this was as good as it was going to get for me which was horrible everyday. 6 weeks ago my ex gf asked me to accompany her to the gym and I declined at first but she talked me into going with her and staying for the hour or so. I've been in the gym every single day since that break through as I like to call it. I hit 200lbs for the first time in my life, I feel so good and so different physically/mentally/spiritually that I cannot describe it with the words I know. 7 weeks ago my depression was a 8/10-9/10 on a day to day basis. My anxiety levels were also a 8/10-9/10 daily, my self confidence was non existent and I had NO hope for any future. Today I ran a mile in just under 8min to warm-up, my ab workout started with 5 sets of 15 reps situps, then 4 sets of 15 reps leg raises, then 3 sets of 15 sitting twists with 20lbs added. Next I went to biceps and followed what I've learned on this page, then I worked out my back. Fitness and exercise is the most important part of my life right now, I'm focused on getting better and better and better

I hate AND love soreness. I hate it for obvious reasons. But love it when I see the results later on.

[@jawadhazrat4349]

I found that every time i train my chest, the next day it is tender and hurts when I push with my hand on the muscles. I never had this issue before, partly because I was doing heavy lifting lowe rep. I switched to high rep low weight now after every training I get soreness. I take this as indication of good workout. Cheers.

[@frankieselback4300]

I like muscle soreness cuz it’s reassurance that you gave your all but I think I pulled something in my right arm and I can’t tell if I did or not. I worked out like 3-4 days ago and it’s just getting worse and my left arm is basically fine

[@Spaceman2484]

If it’s getting worse, DO NOT keep working it. That means damage is not healing and you may have a mild tear/sprain. Rest a few days and see if it gets better. If not, see a doctor

[@marycarrillo6084]

So yesterday I followed the advice of not counting reps and lifting to failure and I feel a lot more sore than I would like to today

[@chriss4365]

Sometimes it does hurt pretty bad, but soreness means results happened.

[@RoziKino]

Just from my own anecdotal experience, when I started increasing my protein intake with supplements the severity of muscle soreness reduced. So from this I can only say that soreness is only when the body hasn't got the nutrients/ rest to repair, opposed to not training hard enough. I'm building more size than I was previously without the soreness.

[@thechosenone7875]

Same here. I train 3 days a week hardcore full body and I'm seeing amazing results. Little soreness. I think with proper sleep, nutriton, hydration, and supplementation can really help make a difference between being super sore or not.

[@jamesball5743]

This is just bro science and is not true

[@user-vv1do1wg1j]

nah not true, muscle soreness is your muscles being inflamed (sign of potential growth) against your nerves and small tears, you dont always feel this pain/soreness and you might feel it in like weakness/stiffness of the muscle.

[@kevinmiracle8233]

i bought his program and his supps... my legs were sore for literally 5 days the fist week...and my girlfriend said my legs looked bigger..lol.. i love his program, i love his explanations, and his supplements are top notch! I'm in the middle of his 90 day training program and the results keep me excited to keep doing it! Thanks dude!

[@DarkKaleb3]

He really is telling the truth about making me sore as shit. I'm currently taking his Max Size program, on day 2 (btw there's only like 4 total exercises in a day in this program) and my first one was squats. I got worked to the point where after my 100th squat, I racked the weight and couldn't keep myself off the ground. I mistakenly did this after physio the yesterday and now I can barely move. I'm not excited to see how I feel in the morning. Love your program, Jeff!

[@lunam7249]

doing 100 of ANYTHING is a dumb idea

[@nathandrabing5942]

Thanks for this Jeff. You have really opened my eye about my effort in the gym and at home. I notice if I take some time off I’ll be sore but eventually not get sore from workout. I’d say this is from cheating myself in the weight room and with my diet.

[@ishan94shukla]

Dude i gotta tell you how big of an inspiration you are for me, just keep it up man.

[@peterfaber9316]

I like the soreness too. especially when it starts to improve, stretching feels great. I have a question though. The title of the video claims it explains the soreness, but why does it take like 24 before you start to feel it? Is it the growth that causes the pain? And also, it only hurts when you use the muscle. If it would be the damage itself it should hurt all the time and there shouldn't be a delay.... So what is really causing the pain???

[@gehennagehenna1373]

Peter Faber Maybe because the muscles are in shock, and it needs to pass before the pain comes in? Like when someone gets shot or badly injured? I dunno... good question, tho, but i dont think knowing the reason is important at all

[@mr.cowell6025]

Its gotta be about sleeping I bet but I dont know

[@fahimnabil9619]

Your muscle starts to hurt when it has started the recovery process. That's why you dont feel it right after the workout but a 7-8 hrs sleep later.

[@mr.cowell6025]

@@fahimnabil9619 oohh, that makes sense

[@Rqptor_omega]

Your muscles ache because when they are used,there will be Micro tears in it and when your body repair the muscle,it gets stronger but I still don't really know why it takes 24 to truly hurt

This is helpful. I get sore as heck from my workouts. But I eat right so I recover pretty quickly. If you est the right foods you can train 7 days a weak and never overdo yourself.

[@drmnhn3264]

Currently experiencing this on my arms. went to the gym without any program(first time) so i went straight to lifting weights. pushed myself so hard my arms were so sore the next day. The soreness wasn’t that bad and i got through the day. I thought the soreness would eventually be gone the next day and hoping i could get back to the gym, i was wrong. Woke up with severe doms, i thought my muscles were dying, couldn’t fully extend my arms without hurting like hell! Had to skip school and gym and the rest of the day was just hell. Good thing the soreness isn’t that bad today compared to yesterday. I felt like i was gonna cry everytime i try to move my arms.

[@juniorjr9011]

How long did it last?

[@mawage666]

If I go a long time without lifting and then decide to get back into it for a while, I'm always ridiculously sore after the 1st workout. But on the next one I don't get nearly as sore. I feel I can get that soreness back if I just push it harder on the next workout. Mixing up volume and intensity from week to week I feel gives you the best of both worlds between strength and endurance.

[@imperia6368]

I Always had this doubt in my mind ,I don't know if it's a myth I rarely get muscle soreness does that mean those days are the only days I performed well? Is it good to workout when your sore does that mean you will get extra muscles like the muscle fibres are already weakened and broken down so if I do workout for the same muscle group during sore will I get more muscles because those muscle fibres are weak so if I hit them again they will easily be broken down so will it get give more muscle ? PS sorry for bad english 😅

[@justanerdwholiftweights4061]

@@imperia6368 no. Muscle soreness is an indication that you have trained more than enough. You don't have to be sore always. If you did a workout and become sore the next day , the next time you do the same workout don't go that hard . You can get gains without be sore. But you should train to failure. And sometimes you should workout hard enough to break plateaus and you can be sore. Doesn't mean you should be sore every day. And you should not work the sore muscle , because you won't have enough strength to perform well. Any more questions you can ask me. I'm happy to help

Jeff, I have this problem with my hip. Every time I raise my leg past my hips height in a fast motion, I get this sort of pain in my hip flexor area. I would love if you did a in depth video about this and ways to stretch or improve this condition, before soccer season starts next week. Thanks keep up the good work!

[@JangPlaysGames]

I had the same problem. I played a lot of basketball and I used to get sharp pains in my hip flexor area. I started using resistance bands and warming up with them every day. I always would use a foam roller to stretch that area before I started working out or running.

[@xherecomesth3sun]

Sitting too many hours of your day. Your psoas (hip flexor) is tightened. Look it up and look up some stretches.

[@christianskoglund2117]

Is it pain or cramps? Maybe your hip flexors are weak and needs strengthening instead of stretching. Try puting your leg up on a chair at 90 degree and then try lifting the leg of the chair and hold it. Easy? Cramping in the hips? If the later then start strengthening the muscle. If easy lay on a bench and flaten your lower back against the bench and lift your legs up and lower one leg at a time and see if you can make contact with the bench. Jeff got a really good video about this assessments

[@Pottan23]

The formula I know, and that I tell people, is that getting in shape is 10% exercise, 30% diet, and 60% sleep. Everyone I know who knows things about things has told me that's either dead on, or really close. What do you think?

I'd say it's 50% diet, 30% exercise, and 20% sleep. But your formula makes sense as well.
