9 Things I Did to Accelerate Results

[@PaulWBruce]

Matt, this is a great video - it's a nice way to concisely remind us of how you've changed our lives. The biggest change I've experienced since following you is from loosening up my diet. I used to try and stuff my face with the cleanest food, trying to hit 200 grams of protein, following my strict meal plan... Now that I eat when I'm hungry, reduced my protein (around 120 grams a day), ate more fruit, and just generally listen to my body, not only have I gotten many more compliments on how I look, but I also feel so much better, and ready to crush every day. All because of YOU! And bridges are God in exercise form.

[@RedDeltaProject]

+Paul Bruce LOL I'm so making that comment about bridges a bumper sticker!

[@qwertyuiop-cu2ve]

+Paul Bruce I wish someone would tell us how much protein you really need. I think the 1 gram per pound of body weight is only needed for people who thrash their ass in the gym for hours and use steroids. But how much do you need? 70% of that? 50% of that?

[@PaulWBruce]

+qwert yuiop Honestly, don't worry about percentages. Check out Brad Pilon's ebook "How Much Protein?". It's a review of much of the research on protein's effect on hypertrophy. What he concluded from all the research is, for most average individuals who hit the gym hard three days per week, there is no apparent benefit past 120 grams per day, regardless of other physical factors (height, weight, etc.). Matt has alluded to this before - protein doesn't build muscle, but speeds the muscle recovery and building process. But you only need so much. If you're VERY active, eat a little more, but chances are, if you eat 150 grams, it's probably unnecessary. Check out Mike Mahler, kettlelbell guru. He eats around 100 grams per day, and is quite large. Hope this helps.

Always remember that the fitness industry is not about fitness AT ALL - It's an industry and therefore is about profit.

I just found your channel and I have to say I LOVE the way you explain things! You're very articulate and think outside the box. You've earned a subscriber in me!

[@RedDeltaProject]

Thanks Zach and welcome, let me know if you have any questions I can answer for you.

[@cleartruth9014]

So true! I used to roll my eyes at keeping a log too, because when I used to weight lift I did so many exercises and sets and reps and it was a pain to keep track of it all. Now that I only do CC I've had a log since day 1 and it's amazingly simple to keep track in the log!

[@scorpionz44]

ive been wanting a push to focus 100% on technique and throw away any bit of ego i had. thanks i will now. i wanted to focus on bridging for so long but kept putting it aside

[@GamerBody]

So this may be my favorite video you have ever made. Wow just this follow my same journey on how fitness is really quite simple, but people and the media have made it SOOOOOO confusing. I simplified my workouts, made it consistent, and just at tweaks here and there to each exercise as they start to get too easy. It is not about these shock moments, stick to basics, make simple tweaks for progression, and stay consistent. Results = mind blown.

[@RedDeltaProject]

So very true, keeping to the basics and trying to master them is the key!

[@tusharshah62]

Very helpful!! And yes we need more vids on bridging!! I always avoided them due to the yanking sensation on my low back but after reading cc I would love to include them again with proper form

[@ElreyRayo]

all true statements, Gracias for sharing

[@leedsunited4872]

Brilliant Sir

[@stevethecat9194]

Love your passion. You are engaging and insightful without any gadgets or gimmicks. Inspiring me to get back in it- your damn right about consistency. I'm tweaking my job so I can be. Cheers.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Glad to hear Steve, best of luck and keep me up to date on your progress, you got this!

U have good content my guy

Thank you much and for checking out my stuff AXL :)

[@HeartTheBodyMovement]

I love this video! Please consider a video all on various Bridges. I know there are neck bridges too(learned from your stronger neck vid!), which I've been working on a bit in order to try and strengthen my neck. I have that posture bump on the back of my neck and its frustrating to me. I've noticed improvement from the neck bridges thou!

[@RedDeltaProject]

+Heart The Body Sure thing, I'll be making some videos in the near future on my bridge progress.

[@eazypeazy743]

I can't do things like Russian push-ups and pistol squats yet, should I keep doing normal push-ups and squats until I am able to do them?

[@speedracer4878]

I know this reply is a year late, but u should work on smaller progressions such as chair-assisted pistol squats and so on.

[@Prophet86]

I Matt, I came across your videos pretty randomly but I watched a couple and I am pretty impressed by your view. It makes a lot of sense! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas with us! Question for you: this pro-active engagement of the muscle that you are talking about when exercising is sooo true. The problem that I have got though is that every time I do an exercise focusing on that specific muscle only I feel "weaker" and I can't do as many reps as before. Is it good? Is it something that happens to you too? I know that ultimately you say that reps don't count and the goal is fatigue but I am still not sure if there is something wrong with me or not. Cheers!

[@RedDeltaProject]

Thanks much! yes, feeling a little weaker at first is normal, but it should make you stronger over time as your mind learns how to use your muscles in a more efficient way.

[@victormillward]

Brilliant!

[@pratikk9815]

just waiting for bridges and stretching exercises( for each body part) please do it. and please make a compiled video of all bridges and stretching. It would be easy to refer. thank you for changing our life. anyways sir where are you from?

[@RedDeltaProject]

+PRATIK K I'm in Denver CO at the moment. I don't really do any stretching aside from just stretching my arms overhead and doing some torso twisting. All other mobility is from the mobility required in moves like the squats, pull ups ect. I'll get on the bridge progression video soon.

[@pratikk9815]

+RedDeltaProject thank you very much, hoping to meet you in some point of my life :)

Your body look amazing man, how long did you been working out?

[@RedDeltaProject]

I've always been active outdoors but didn't start strength training until I was 25 and then calisthenics when I was 31 and I'm 40 now. I got a late start but I'm making up for lost time :)

[@danielganswein6486]

Do you mean planks/side planks when you talk about bridges?

[@RedDeltaProject]

Nope, by bridges I'm reform moves that use spinal and hip extension while pushing up off the floor with your back.

sometimes you stuck not getting better is because of over training... take a rest, i mean, a week or two if you are very tired or waking up like a dead man... I overtrained before, I felt tired and i cannot lift my pr, so i rest for half a month, after that, i broke my pr XD

Thank you for sharing your experience with us Tommy Lau. Congrats on your progress thus far and keep up the good work!

[@Trendle222]

what he hell is chain training?

[@sasaha8389]

Robert222 Lewis chain training is like activating different muscles in your body and let the tension go through it balanced...like you pull on a metal chain. Exapke do a pullup but now dont only stress the forearms, lats and tricep. Activate and contract your legs, shoulders and everything else aswell and feel the difference on how the stress equally balance itselfs through your whole body, training everything equal and balanced

[@christopher-bj8de]

You can eat shit when you're 25, try training and eating sugar and shit when you're in your 40s and 50s, that's very very bad advice mate 🙄

[@RedDeltaProject]

You would probably have conniptions if you saw my pantry 😜 But I still feel the same. I'm 42 now and still find I'm far leaner and healthier if I don't keep my diet super strict.
