Procrastination Kills Muscle! Preparing For The Week Will Help You Prepare for Life!

[@-Gnarlemagne]

College is a blessing and a curse. I'm a science, math, and computers kind of person declared as a Physics + Computer Science double major, and I'm adept enough at this point to be totally on top of classes in those areas, straight A's, and still have plenty of free time. On the other hand, I absolutely detest writing and literary analysis. This year I've really made a big change in my life, and I really have to thank you Scott Herman for being a big part of that. For the first time in my life I've been willingly going to bed early and waking up early in the morning, as early as 5 AM, to go work out in the morning - and it feels amazing. However, just one class, my mandatory writing lecture (and specifically the its large essay assignments), is really tearing me up. I've been constantly procrastinating, and it's causing some serious anxiety that I haven't struggled with since my first few years of High School - and it's seriously impeding my progress with my workouts, my schedule, and even hurting the grades of my other classes because my sleep schedule gets so lopsided. It's a serious problem for me, and I'd really love nothing more than to get everything back in order. This year I wanted to really change myself, and I've started well but my progress is really halting. I've been able to lead a healthier lifestyle, but not explore new things and meet new people the way I wanted. Procrastination is awful, and it's actually tearing up my life in a way, and yet I can't seem to beat it. Pure willpower is hard for me, but I really appreciate the video, and have to thank you again. I probably won't be able to keep at it for a long time, but at least tonight I'm not procrastinating.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

We all hit points like this Zren , but yes the only solution is to sit and visualize the solution and the solution is you need to basically take an entire day where you do NOTHING but catch-up on your work. Start early, get on a good roll, and just crush it.. then when you are done, reward yourself. Just don't forget to eat an hydrate while putting the work in. You can do it man! I believe in you!!!

[@Harle65]

We need more of this! Because, the idea of fitness is not just building muscle and lifting weight, it is about organizing your life and becoming a better person. I have been following you for years now Scott and I'm a big fan of your work and just wanted to say thank you. Respect from Germany

[@dubson965]

Scott, this is why your one of the best fitness channels on KZbin, brotha... You care about your subscribers like they care about you. You respond to them, you remove negative comments, and you respond to the good questions. Don't worry about "rambling" brotha, we are subscribed to you for a reason, and that reason is we highly respect your opinion. And not just on fitness, but on Life. Keep beastin' Scott and have a Great rest of the week!!!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks dubson965 , that really means a lot!! Glad to see you guys enjoy my rambling too haha

[@GageDrums]

This is why you're the best fitness teacher on the Internet. You don't just say "here's how you do a workout" you are constantly talking to the "nation" and you are always trying to find ways for people to reach their goals even if it's the smallest detail and doesn't relate to the gym like this video. Everything you posts helps motivate me and many others and I'm so thankful for what you do! Keep it up!!

[@AseelSoueid]

Very true Scott! Procrastination in a health and fitness lifestyle just leads to "Screw it i'll start tomorrow" Just becomes a never ending habit!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

yeah SuedeStrongFitness , you are 100% right!

[@badyrsalcedo]

Totally agree! Your surroundings must be clean to inspire positive things!

[@zackpepper6302]

Thanks Scotty! That's actually a great help. Studying for exams atm and this has sparked my motivation. Just what I needed!!Legend!

[@michaelweller5111]

Love the idea of a 'goal board'. Really gives you focus to complete the important goals, opposed to procrastinating or picking the easy wins. Thanks for the advice!

[@bendanielson8643]

Great Video!! A "how to meal plan prep" or any tips/tricks you have would be great to see in the future

[@LeeDawson]

Exactly what I needed! Thanks Scott!!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Anytime Lee Dawson !

[@loganwelch3561]

Love your videos Scott! Really helping me out as I am only a couple months into getting back to the gym after being out for a while. Helping me stay motivated and focused on getting stronger! Thank you!!

[@davidgaston7722]

I really appreciate this video. I put a lot of things off and with a lot of unfortunate issues that happened right before thanksgiving I haven't been able to get things back on track. Thank you for the pep talk!

[@thesailorlk]

Hey scott that advices mean a lot.i was outstationed for a while and now only i got to watch the video.im going to be onboard my ship by next month or so.im frustrated cuz there might not be a fully equiped gym onboard.ladt time there was a good one.i worked out really hard to loose 15kgs and im now really in shape.but im all confused what will happen after a 13months onboard time.i know this is something special you get to come across.but i would appriciate any advice from you.keepup good work #scott .the best #fitnessadvicer and #fitnessathlete ...

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Hey Malith Ishan ! Well the best thing you can do if you dont have a gym is hit some full body workouts. I have a lot of them and I just started a new series with the Expendables workouts. Check out the first video here and the next 4 will be live by end of next week! #HTH #EX# Lower Body Breakdown- “The Expendables 3: Workout 1”

[@themreerste]

I really love those workouts that you can do at the same time as listening to it. Looking forward to it!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

thanks themreerste ! Will have more of those coming for sure! #HTH

[@photoshopusercudenve]

thanks for the video scott, Im exactly the same way, if my desk is a mess, i cant get my homework done, and so true about the gym being the first thing to get cut when you get behind, fantastic tips, and yes please do more videos like this, as always thanks for all the help

[@jluckyp]

Some valid points there Scott. I'm one who always seems to procrastinate as well. One thing I try to remind myself is this.. When you procrastinate, it always feels like your behind and you end up playing catch up and that of it self can drain a lot of energy. Also causes you to go to bed late and not get enough sleep to get maximum gains.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

The constant stress of "catch-up" can destroy you John Prak , right on!

[@Marooshaz]

Awesome video Scott, I really enjoy these chats. I love your workout videos too, but they're everywhere (plus, there are so many great fitness trainers on KZbin with great workout videos), but I feel like videos like this really set you apart from others. Candid, personal, viewer-friendly, and very helpful. I personally would love for you to talk more about nutrition. Especially food timing (how long before workouts, before cardio, before doing other sports, e.g. basketball,etc.). I'm on the cutting phase at the moment (I know you're not a fan of bulking-cutting cycle, but still), videos on that would help me a lot. Anyway, keep up the great work! Now that I'm done with this comment, gotta follow your advice - put some nice music at my house and tidy my room to stop procrastinating!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks for the feedback Marooshaz ! This really helps me get focused on the kind of content you guys are looking for and I have been thinking the same thing. I have hundreds of videos on form / exercises... I think more videos like this will help balance things out. :) PS: I wrote down your ideas. "_

[@TheOppa777]

Cant wait for the pretty boy hair to grow back! You look 20 years older all of a sudden! Must be the sunburn? In any case, I've been glued to your channel for the past week or so. Even old videos from the Be 10 in 2010 series prove to be very helpful! It gives me an organized list of things to do in the Gym! You are such a blessing!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

haha thanks man, yeah I miss the hair too Marco Mendoza . Glad the videos have been helping!! Keep making those gains and stay organized! #HTH #SHFAthlete

[@jerseyjuggalo1]

Great video Scott. I definitely need to stop procrastinating. I am changing today. Thank you.

[@TheDeltaus]

Wow Scott replies to so many comments!! Thanks for helping me making my body and life better man, you are a great part of the big picture that shaped my life for good. Thanks!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Honored to be able to help TheDeltaus ! Keep up the great work!

[@brusmisbruk]

Just wanted to say thanks for making these videos, they have really helped me alot

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I am honored to help you bro!!!

[@testertesting8483]

This video really addressed some of the problems I have and reminded me of the things I have to do to be organized and consequently succeed. Thanks.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Anytime Emil!!

[@luk4e7o]

Loved the video.There is certainly much we can learn from you about success and I'm glad you made this video.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks luk4e7o !!

[@sammi.b.creative]

Scott, I love your channel! Seriously, please keep up the good work! :)

[@vennor128]

I love this video. I love all of your other videos. But this one really hit home. Biggest thing I need to do is get my life on track. My personal goals and my fitness goals. Which I need to get into that routine. So thank you for telling me yours so I can do something similar and stop procrastinating.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks A Vega , I really appreciate the feedback. Helps me stay on track with the kind of content that is really helping the Nation grow :)

[@GerryBlais66]

Great one Scott!! In Military we use to the six "Ps"(Piss Poor Planning Promotes Poor Performance). Keep kicking ass Bro! Gerry(Blais)

[@jamoca15]

Thanks for this kick Scott. While I was watching this I picked up my note book and wrote down all the stuff I need to do come Monday when I go back to work lol. Keep lifting bro

[@hanielkhoury2146]

I totally agree with you scott. Last year i was in the "off" mode and it was a lot messy. Now everything is organized scheduled and on track for building muscles. Job well done

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Hany Al-Khoury , I feel like the last month I have been going from "off" to "on" mode too much... we all need to rethink and focus every once in a while!

[@SkySesshomaru]

Totally agree with you. I do feel like I'm rushing almost everything I've got to do, so I'm kinda always "nervous" to get things done. It goes even worse when you do something (that you are rushing already), and you feel like you totally run out of time to do other activities.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Yeah that was happening to me a lot TheEye? , then you will never be able to enjoy "relaxation time" Glad you are making the change!

[@lunphun1]

Awesome video bro. you really rock everything you said was truly fantastic. Much love and peace.Pray coming your way.

[@jctai100]

Great video, this kind of talk makes this series more unique than others. Keep it up!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

thanks jctai100 , the feedback really helps!

[@SolPhoebusApollo]

I can't get any work done in a mess either. That's why my space is organized and ready to go every Monday. The thing I was procrastinating today was finishing off my day with some pushups, I got em done listening to this video. I can always count on this channel for that extra motivation I need.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Hell yeah! I planned on doing some push-ups myself. I am going to reward myself with them once I finish going through all these comments! #HTH

[@HappySmilesStudio]

I thought about the notice board for myself which you later mentioned it for yourself...what a coincidence! :D Thanks a lot for the video !

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Yeah a goal board is super important!

[@eseguey82]

Appreciate the video. It is a random video but its something I've been thinking about for a good while. I've never been this bad of a procrastinator and its like fighting an uphill battle. Not saying I'll ever quit, just saying it gets tired. Got to start fighting smarter. This is a good reality check, gives me a place to start over again. Got to practice what I preach so to speak. Amat Victoria Curam : Victory Loves Preparation. Thanks for reminding me to prepare.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Happy to hear that Rykiel Morales !

[@guhanseyon]

Looking badass with the haircut bro. Love this kind of vid! Looking forward for more!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Guhan Seyon !! Glad you like the hair and the vid! But I miss my long hair haha

[@AngateWier]

I love your lift along videos, like Death by Dumbels. I get em on my tablet and don't need to worry about time, I just watch! Keep up the good work man.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Oh then you are going to go NUTS over these!!!! Get ready for some hardcore action!!!! #HTH

[@maxderooij1599]

Awesome video, only recently subbed to you. I am an organizer by birth and even though I only just started working out, organizing eveything in my life to a extreme point has been the story of my 19 years on earth. I would really suggest if you find the concept of the amount of thoughts in your brain and why you should give room to your brain by organizing, to keep a journal. Try using some system like a bullet journal with a braindump every few days, that way the thought you wrote on paper aren't occupying your head anymore. Saved me from a lot of stress and with my meditation I do from about 5 to 10 minutes every day I feel a lot more serene.

[@choppergrenado9744]

Really enjoyed this style of video...keep up the progress and success....

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Chopper Grenado !

[@captainplanet3517]

great, honest video. well done!

[@criszo9966]

Of course I will be there....I am happy that you come!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Cristina Zolog !! :)

[@unknownteamTV]

This is probably by far best video I watched about fitness and life because it's fu**ing truth ! I suffer from procrastination and really, since I started preparing for everything it's a lot easier to function and work, especially with learning and other faculty things. Thanks for making this video, because even the fact I know what I need to do, my sleep schedule and room is messed up, so I'm gonna fix all that today and also workout after 4 rest days.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Happy to help FRiTZZY ! Thanks for taking the time to write the positive feedback and support! Now go clean your room!! :) #HTH #SHFAthlete

[@PhilintheGaps]

Thanks for this advice man.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

anytime +Phillip :)

[@jason75]

Fitness changed from when I worked out, I first started working out in the 80s and it sure has changed. Im still old school

[@ScottHermanFitness]

oh yes it sure has! haha Right on jason75 Glad to see you still sticking with it!

[@michaelp7714]

This was awesome!

[@rsmi2211]

liking the way your hair is in this one

[@logkdogk]

makes all sense. I use google calendar and evernote to plan and keep schedules organized. similar may help u as well? Once you get used to it and u have their apps on your mobile you can always punch stuff in either on the run or at the desk

[@jayhrk]

Scott, could you do a short video regarding your goal board?? Looks really interesting, would like to make one of my own

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Sure, I think that is a great idea!~

[@Musicmatttheonly1]

Topic Suggestion:- Food prep for the week. I enjoyed your food info for a week in this video. if i could figure out how to do that properly and safely FOR A WEEK i would be 100% sorted. I t would also help me become more independent in my personal life :) Hope you see this man.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

this is a great suggestion! I wrote it down and can def make it happen!

[@Musicmatttheonly1]

yesssss!

[@MCR.14]

I watched this video, liked it and then got motivated to study for my advanced biomechanics exam. Thanks for the help

Spot on, man! It's exactly how I operate. Things HAVE to be in order, otherwise my actions aren't efficient, throughout the day. You've articulated it, perfectly. Many thanks!

Nice William Granville !! Let me know how it goes!!! #HTH

[@omegax3litez]

i love your videos man! it's nice out there... im like freezing over here lol

[@Jane_Friday]

Although I totally agree from my heart, my mind knows such thoughts and behavior to prep, wanting to get rid of unknown variables, loving to be surrounded by order is quite compulsive and that is only good up to a certain degree. If you overdo that it also can hinder your progress in life.

[@Moneymaker1261]

You have inspired me more then u will ever know thank u.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

You are very welcome Moneymaker1261 ! Keep reaching for your goals!

[@drtran101]

Whew, I needed this. I've been PREETTTTYYY lazy lately and my workouts have been slowly suffering. I consider going to the gym 4 days a week compared to 5 drastic. You know what I mean Scott. That one day bro..... that one day.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

yeah man.. I dont think I could do 4 days.. need at least 5 to feel right

[@jth0511]

One word: vascular!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks jth0511 !

[@bigballplaya]

This video motivated me to finally clean my room and wash my car. Great motivational Monday video!!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

nice man!! Happy to hear that!

[@anthonycolontuona7738]

Hey Scott and all of you bodybuilders reading this, you should shock your muscle before any event of any kind if you want to look your best! Also just a small tip that sort of ties into this focus on the task at hand at all times and never forget about those negatives!

[@02vochomovil]

I have the same cup Scott! "I hate mornings" lol. For you food preparation, what do you normally cook? It would be great if you could make a video about that. I'm in the process of doing what you talk in the video so it came out just in time!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

hahaha nice 02vochomovil , i got it last year at disney :) Actually, at the airport in Orlando. I typically cook, beans, rice, and asparagus like I show here.. and chicken... will be putting out a sweet potato recipe video thursday. three ways to cook them! I love my sweet potatoes! :)

[@02vochomovil]

ScottHermanFitness Nice! Thanks for doing that. For me the hardest part is to keep up with food. I hit the gym hard Monday to Friday but I think my intake of food is holding me back from my goals so I'm trying to change that

[@ScottHermanFitness]

02vochomovil i know man.. believe me, I am not the best cook!

[@PriscilaDiCieroOficial]

I know this house, this table, this computer, this view, this kitchen, the messy house (JOKING!!!!). huahauhaua! Great job, Scott! Keep going! :D

[@ScottHermanFitness]

hahaha Priscila! You keep quit Nutribruxa DiCiero ! :-P

[@diax14]

thanks Scott

[@ScottHermanFitness]

anytime!

[@candienshuet]

Wow never thought I would see scott Herman with a shirt on

[@barnabaas79]

Mess causes stress...and stress causes a lot of problems for people. I find cleaning and keeping things 'organized' for me. Is super helpful as well. Not to mention it keeps things looking good and gives me more time for the activities i want to do.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I couldn't agree more my friend!

[@Teamshmo]

Watching Ancient Aliens when cleaning lol. I saw the same eps. In terms of the food prep I tried that before and it really was great, but sometimes would take up too much time. Now I either prep and eat good meals and if I don't I man up and just eat everything raw (not meats etc). So if no broccoli is cooked that doesn't mean I won't eat it, that means I force myself to eat it raw. Sucks, but no excuses. Also great video. Always good to stop and really plan out what is going on in your life. Sometimes we push so hard that you end up screwing up other areas in your life. Like the saying goes "you are only as strong as your weakest link". Hard to deadlift hundreds of pounds when you are thinking about how you have to vacuum still or do homework etc. The little things screw up your focus on the bigger things.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

yeah man I agree completely. I find myself having a hard time focusing at the gym when I have too much other stuff to do.. right on man and so cool you saw that episode. I love that stuff! haha

[@Tishouq]

Dude you motivated me :) Keep it up. I will stop being lazy!!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

damn right Tishouq !

[@huntmayne223]

I swear I just had this same epiphany on saturday. Cleaned up my room, cleaned out and washed my truck, and spent yesterday cooking my meals for the week. Killed my workouts yesterday and today thanks to cleaning up.... and a little motivation from SHF.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

haha nice Hunter!! that is what I like to hear... I wish I could have cleaned my cars... That will be this weekend definitely.. got to clean the yard too... but I just bought a new rider lawn mower so I am waiting for that. CANT WAIT!!

[@huntmayne223]

Can't say that I'm looking forward to mowing season again haha. Seriously though, this is why I love this channel. Not a bunch of junk that is useless, more like a way to live a healthy lifestyle... That's why I refer everyone to your videos that asks what I do or about good exercises. Keep up the good work!

[@alvarogrados1763]

Nice haircut Scott bro:)

Yeah Tony Horton and Scott Herman, two of my favorite fitness youtubers together, sounds pretty awesome. Tony is hilarious on his channel.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

yeah I hope to have some fun with him while there!

[@sillybilly5919]

Everything you had to say was spot on with whats going on with me right now. Not that I procrastinate its just i have too much to do. Im 17 in a month and a junior in highschool. Im taking 7 honors classes so im out from 6am til 3pm. Plus the usual 3 to 4 hours of homework. A major problem i have is acne which ive suffered with for a good 5 years but over the last two ive learned what foods and drinks to stay away from and i have it under control. Thing is i cant eat dairy or processed foods which i stick to 100% plus a salad a day. I also have a girlfriend and i play tennis. Im aiming for a d1 college though a d2 would be preferable. I have so much going on most nights by the time im finished its probably 10-11 pm and i need to go to bed. Because of my food situation over the last year ive lost a significant amount of weight and im skinny to begin with. Ive gone from 6 ft 145 pounds to 6 ft 132 pounds. I want to work out and gain weight but i cant seem to eat enough cause its all such healthy non caloric dense food and im just too tired to go the gym. Sorry this was long but any advice?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Sounds like you have a loaded schedule for sure my friend. You NEED to make sure you are eating at least 200 grams of protein a day. I don't even care if most of it comes from shakes. I would prefer food like chicken, or steak, fish, etc... but if it is a choice between not eating or drinking a shake.. drink the shake. You are at a point in your life where your body NEEEEDs food to grow, you don't want to stunt your growth from not eating enough and being too active (school included) I am releasing a 5 workout series starting tomorrow. All 5 workouts you can do at home and they are a program for one week. They take 10 - 15 minutes to complete and you only need a light pair of dumbbells. This program may be just what you need until your schedule is under control. Look out for "THE EXPENDABLES 3"- Lower Body Breakdown! Coming tomorrow!

[@joesheridan2593]

Hey Scott. This video is a tremendous help. Im going to start doing some of the things you mentioned in this video. (Cleaning, prep, etc). Also, i have 2 questions for you. 1.) How much do genetics play a role in how much muscle i can i build? And secondly, my chest workouts lack tremendously because i really don't have a lot of equipment. I have a pec fly, and chest press machine, which both make me feel tremendous pain in my delts, some dumbbells, but no bench. Sorry for the book!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Hey joe, glad this video is helping you get on track! A for your questions. 1) They play a role in the size and shape of your muscle on your body, but you can always improve. However you will hit a plateau for your frame eventually. Then it becomes a game of adding maybe 2 - 4 pounds of muscle a year. It will all come down to diet and meal plan. 2) Sounds like you are not pulling your shoulders back when you bench. You need to retract your shoulders on most exercises or else it will bring your delts into the exercise and cause pain You should join the community an I in the FORUMS on my site.

anytime you want to chat about super heroes is cool with me. Also calisthenics - getting into that in a big way so if you have tips for beginners or something that would be cool

an update on ur red dragon would be greatly appreciated. its been a while now since we've heard about the camaro.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I know MrSolid92 , the truth is there is no update. very sad.. :(

[@LegoNinja21]

Hey Scott, I just recently went from training approximately 80% weights and 20% calisthenics to about all calisthenics unless I am doing legs. My goals have changed because I am preparing for the police academy where all they do is calisthenic endurance training. Right now I want to get a lot bigger and stronger so I am not focusing on endurance yet. Anyways, should I be concerned about my body having a negative reaction to doing almost all calisthenic training after being used to weight training?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

If anything you will get stronger overall focusing on calisthenics especially if you get into advanced movements like handstands and levers. Just make sure you don't slack too much on cardio, you will have to run to pass your test, that I am sure. You should join the community an I in the FORUMS on my site.

Thanks Scott! I made an account as a gold member awhile back, but I will for sure use the forums also. I play soccer but when the season ends I will for sure need to run more. I am 17 and I already have the physical qualifications to enter the academy, I just want to become a master at calisthenics (and running) to make the six months at the academy a lot easier physically when I'm 21 or 22.

[@sylvestersweeney7777]

Hi scott, im doing a dissertation for my final year of university about social media and the fitness industry and the impact it has allowing you to interact with the public and have this mountain of information at your fingertips... what are some of the top things you feel social media allows you to achieve that without it, would not be possible?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

too funny.. I am flying to LA Wednesday to talk about this exact subject with Tony Horton and Cassie Ho :) Here is a quick list. 1. Accountability- I feel more accountable than ever to make sure I am providing quality information that is researched and trusty worthy. If you make one mistake the few people who know the right answer will rip you a new one. So on top of making sure you are keeping your community safe, if you "half-ass" your research and are teaching the wrong things, the comment section will destroy you. 2. Community / Family- This only applies to the people who actually respond and engage with their fans. I have always made it my number one goal to help people and be very active responding in the comment sections of KZbin, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and even MySpace back in the day haha. This has allowed me to build a solid relationship with my community and really find out what they are looking for in videos/workouts/information. 3. Exposure- To keep this short and simple, Social Media gave me a voice that grew by the quality of my content. The same exposure would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars with traditional advertising to reach the same amount of people.

I have been lazy recently due to exams but once that is done, I will be attempting the 21 day 4am challenge. Not because its a challenge but I am a easy riser so trying to focus on fitness before work seems like the best way as I make excuses after 5pm.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

hell yeah brotha!!! good luck on exams Vanish Patel !

[@ManiaCop100]

Couldnt say it better my self, when everything is prepped and clean your mind is alot clearer and you can focus on the details of your life more..... Also quick question I'm learning how to to hand stands but seem to be getting a pain in my elbow any tips or so?

[@ManiaCop100]

Pain the day after the excersies that is, not during the excersies

[@ScottHermanFitness]

ManiaCop100 spot on man, glad you agree! Sorry to hear about the elbow man... this could help you get strong to do them more often How To: Learn How To Do A Handstand Push-Up!

[@beautyxoxgoddess]

One good thing to remember is to take something with you that doesn't belong when ever you leave the room

[@xMused]

And as always, more good stuff coming soon!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Damn right Will Tran !

[@joelbueno8137]

And if you own a pet, make sure give him attention and a walk around the block. Hes also part of the family who also needs his exercise. Peace out, take care, great video Scott!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

of course! Bello gets lots of attention ***** :)

[@gnarleypunkroker5]

hell with history channel, you should watch History 2, that channel is amazing!!! im the same way. very particular about how things are arranged. it needs to be in order and if anyone moves it out of place, tis quite frustrating. 8:19 your shirt sleeve was a little lose, better get hitting some more powerbombs to get the sleeves hugging.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Yeah that is what I was watching haha.. H2.

[@diegomargoni6853]

Hey Scott i liked your videos about Build Muscle & Strength (FULL PROGRAM) i was waiting for the chest one ;)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks bro!! I will get that chest one done next week for sure. I know its the last int he series that and I think I need a hardcore abs one too

[@beautyxoxgoddess]

What about when your spouse or family doesn't follow your living standards. I am always putting the decor and stuff that I bought back to its right ful spot and it's always like 2 steps backwards .. I am still trying tho! Lol

[@TheJnCProductions96]

Ancient Aliens is the shit bro ( love that crazy program ) . Your on point with this video and it's put a couple off things in perspective. I'm feeling burnt out after 1 day at work and was feeling weak at the gym, why? Because everything is all over the place at the minute, out off my routine. Cheers Bra :D

[@ScottHermanFitness]

yeah man, but Erica doesn't believe in Aliens haha.. so I always chat here ear off when I watch these programs. They had one on how the Devil was actually a "good guy" and is seen in many religions. He was the one who gave us knowledge.. they even linked him to Prometheus who was the Greek God who was punished for giving us fire.. very cool stuff! Now go clean your workplace! lol #HTH

[@TheJnCProductions96]

haha yeah man its really interesting, ill try find that EP. my favorite ep was the one about how the pyramids was built by ' aliens - gods ' and that the pyramids are in line with the aztec ones and is some kind off space portal haha crazy stuff. LET THE TRUTH BE KNOW lmao.
