Bodybuilding VS Strength Training | ARE YOU DOING THE RIGHT WORKOUTS?

[@AnabolicAliens]

Increasing your muscle size results in more strength potential while vice versa, increasing your strength results in your ability to place more mechanical stress on your muscles to make them grow more. So training for strength OR muscle building specifically will allow you to afterward go back to the other style of training and get more optimal results! Thank you so much to everyone coming over and subscribing to our channel! We are motivated more than ever and really are going to make our best effort in improving our videos and overall channel to help, motivate, inspire, educate, and entertain more and more people. We love this stuff and will always answer our comments and interact with you. Means the world to us all of you showing us your support! And thanks of course to Scott!

[@facundozapata7364]

Thanks for the vídeo!

[@AnabolicAliens]

Thanks for watching!

[@TeaKayy1]

I'm basically a newbie workout guy. Worked out for about eight months. Here's the question. Should I go for strength training or muscle training first? Thanks!

[@AnabolicAliens]

5/3/1 is definitely a period set for strength! I personally like to do more volume (more sets) than that but you if you keep increasing the weights with the pyramid down then you'll be getting stronger! yeahh mixing the two is hybrid you'll get both but like we said in the video if you want to optimally get one, then you should separate!

[@AnabolicAliens]

In my opinion I would say build muscle first so you can get more familiar with the exercises and the form, whereas if you went straight into strength training you could possibly hurt yourself just due to lack of experience.. also scott mentioned the newbie gains so you'll see strength gains regardless when you first start out!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

You can be your own worst enemy in the gym. When you are trying to maximize your gains you can’t just watch other people and believe everything you hear. You need to take your own goals into your own hands and do a bit of research to make sure you are performing the right workouts. This video will open your eyes and get you pointed in the right direction!

[@msherazi1259]

Thank you so much for making this video Scott- lots of great knowledge here!! 😊

[@lad12121212]

why cant i just focus on strength for bench squat row deadlift then get really strong with them then focus on hypertrophy for isolation? is that not how you train more optimal size?

[@DarthVader-tu5qk]

The best way is to combine strength and hypertrophy workouts. For example, you can train each body part twice a week: once in the 3-5 rep range and once in 8-12 rep range. The main thing that Scott seems to forget is that overall volume is what matters most. If you go to failure in your first set and that affects your next sets, it might be worse than going to RPE 8-9 in each set. Of course, if you hit more volume by going to failure every time, then it will be better, but you have to think about your next exercises as well. The rest of the workout may suffer if you go to failure in the beginning. And by the way, rest periods aren't really that important. If you have to drop your weight in each set, you might consider taking longer rest periods instead. Once again, volume is the most important thing here.

[@tite732]

+Darth Vader I have been doing SHUL for about a year and a half same as PHUL just a rip off that I actually paid money for. Anyway I don't wanna stop this program because I feel I'm getting the best of both worlds! And I started cutting about 3 weeks ago and don't wanna loose my strength. Just skeptical then I could build more muscle maybe because that is my goal after all !!

[@dubson965]

Rest periods aren't really that important, huh? You don't get it. If you're working for metabolic fatigue, you cannot increase the rest time. If your goal is muscular strength, you have to increase the rest time. Huge difference in goals there. You answered why it is important after you said it isn't..... Also the third factor for muscle growth is Range of Motion but Scott thinks it's muscle damage... which makes no sense. Muscle damage occurs with mechanical tension and metabolic fatigue. The greater the range of motion you can work a muscle through, the greater potential for muscle growth.

[@paulreardon1631]

Your body doesn't know if it was hit by a cahhhhhhhhhhhhh Kidding, this video was super helpful guys. Thank you both so much.

[@calebwojcik2016]

Scotthermanfitness and athleanx are the best

[@xosemusic]

Add Alan Thrall and Elliot hulse, best 4 guys to follow

[@shehab1798]

Don't forget Jeff Nippard!

[@5ZebraTouch]

sure... if you think sloping shoulders and a weak frame is aesthetic.

[@ariansharifi9682]

And vitruvian

[@shamairamarcano9849]

Yea but anabolic aliens are the best creating workouts

[@Unknown-eu4kv]

Build muscle = Pretty decent amount of strength. Build strength: Pretty decent amout of muscle volume.

[@chasedriver5855]

Literally, this is the only video that Iv ever heard on KZbin that ACTUALLY explained every single aspect of muscle training vs strength training thoroughly. It’s about time I found a video that explained this in ways I can understand. Good job guys 🙏🏼

[@AFLPlacek]

This video opened my eyes soooo much. I've always been doin 'strenght' training and i wondered why i went from 30 to 40 kg on dumbell bench press without any clear sight of my chest gettin bigger :P Thank you Scott for all the videos and effort you put into them :) Much love

[@ScottHermanFitness]

awesome! glad to have helped!

[@Cyraxium]

Great video Scott. You're constantly addressing the issues that no one else will, separating fact from fiction. That's why I've been a subscriber for 6+ years! Love it

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks man! Yes I do my best to keep it real! thanks for the support!

[@indrajeet]

Strength is functional, you can get a great physique largely from diet and lifting light weights. I say, whats the point of having a great physique when you have little strength, speed, stamina and flexibility. Training should be functional.

[@bigbearddahuzi1036]

....functional... but if you actually needed that strength in real life you would already have it as a natural consequence of your work. What's the point of having all that power? You never need outside of the gym. Lifting for power is just as masturbatory as body building. If it makes you happy do it, but it is no better than body building. As for speed... yes, as an athlete that's pretty damn useful. Not useful at all these days. Stamina and flexibility... sign me up. Those are wicked useful and important for health. They both feel great.

[@hunterh889]

I'd say the best type of training would be powerbuilding. You still incorporate your main lifts but do some hypertrophy with it as well.

[@teqfrog]

Point of having a great physique is women You mad brah

[@deanwaller8283]

100% agree.....all show and no go is a waste of time

[@matthew-ox5zx]

Looks actually help more in the real world. Unless you work a physical job or something its better to be a little weaker and look good

[@mehdibc5852]

One of the best videos on weight lifting I've seen on KZbin. Great job guys!

[@ZS1productions]

Mehdi BEN CHEHIDA i disagree. a lot of misinformation here

[@sadekausi]

The Anabolic Alien dude seemed really nervous lol Great video btw

[@AnabolicAliens]

Scott said if I messed up he would kill me.... Lol jk I gotta work on my talking skills :P Glad you liked the video!

[@canefan17]

Who cares? Easy for you to laugh behind a comp. Let's see you give a presentation on someone else's channel.

[@sadekausi]

canefan17 I think someone here might be slightly overreacting

[@printer_fire475]

Idk why but I really like him

[@mattr.9167]

sade when you're infront of a camera it'll do that to you sometimes.

[@ajk7151]

Great explanation. Cleared my doubts. Was wrongly mixing strength training and mass building so long.

[@ravishgoel8718]

Ideally it should be a combination of both,strength and muscle building

[@mridulsagar4106]

exactly.. I mean no one told you that you cannot do both

[@leonardoclaros9773]

Yeah i do hybrid routines, for example i do bench press for be stronger in that movement and after i do that i go to overhead press for the same goal, but after all of that i dammage my muscle fibers such as chest, shoulders and triceps in order for they to grow.

[@ifstatementifstatement2704]

Define muscle building. Do you mean focusing on more sets and reps rather than load?

[@DannyBoy426]

@Fern Dogg89 Doesn’t pyramid and reverse pyramid training implement both? Hypertrophy and strength ?

[@DOOLZ86]

I use just compound movements strength parameters. But do a slow tempo with them all squats, bench, pull ups, etc. Full body workouts every other day keeping the protein synthesis elavated. Working well for me. Good video Scott

[@niclasoberg256]

This was just the kind of video I needed right now! I've known the basic difference between the two types of training, but not this laid out. I will definitely takes this in mind during my workouts! Thanks for the awesome video, love your stuff! :)

[@AnabolicAliens]

Glad the video could help you!! good luck with your workouts

[@vymrdanejkralicek]

"THAT MEANS YOU DID YOUR JOB! YOU KILLED THE MUSCLE" loved it :D

[@yimingzhh]

When Scott says “as always ...” I was like “train untaaaaaaaamed.”

[@STBRetired1]

I'm an old timer who has started lifting again for the past seven years. I've been using the old Pyramid system of sets and reps that I learned from long ago. Set 1 - 10 reps, Set 2 - 8 reps, Set 3 - 6 reps, Set 4 - as many reps as possible and increasing the weight at each set. It always SEEMED to be a good way to workout because the first two sets "warmed up" the muscles for the work with the heavier more stressful weights and sets. I learned that routine from an Olympic lifter and now I'm starting to understand why I'm having such a hard time building muscle SIZE and fullness - if I understand what you guys are saying in this video.

[@Verdad2024]

freaking great video. you never disappoint

[@AnabolicAliens]

happy to hear you enjoyed the video!

[@printer_fire475]

Dude idk why but I really like this dude in the video. Good shit

[@omarjamal161]

longer rest between sets is proven to maximize both muscle gains and strength. the more you rest the more weight you can push and pull. rest more, around 2-5 min range or more.

[@RiffMusic1970]

Omar Jamal I agree. I’m looking for muscle gains and I like 2 minute rests. I don’t want to be out of breath on my next set. Then my breathing will keep me from hitting my desired reps instead of reaching muscle failure.

[@megamind7000]

Omar Jamal what if you only have an hour to go the gym you can’t afford all that rest time . Most people have life’s outside the gym and can’t afford long rest times

[@ksbrar6816]

With big muscle groups .longer rest is ok....for little muscle groups i think he s right ... 1 mint rest

[@nightskiesburialground5886]

Really getting tired of anonymous bros with no results to show for it deciding to lecture others on how they should train.

[@KountourisGiannis]

So, why then is the power lifter bigger than Scott?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Because Mike is a big dude. His whole family is all bigger people where in my family... everyone is paper thin.. haha

[@KountourisGiannis]

+ScottHermanFitness and his poor genetics :P Here is a reasearch saying strength training is more efficient in building muscles than high volume training www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4562558/

[@ScottHermanFitness]

This means nothing to me. I don't build muscle as efficiently with a strength training program. I have tried it. I have a higer ratio of slow-twitch muscle fibers.. so I need high volume and short rest periods.

[@KountourisGiannis]

+ScottHermanFitness Then those who have fast switch fibers should focus on strength training? if that's the case then strength builds power and bodybuilding muscles is totally irrelevant

[@ScottHermanFitness]

You are mixing things up bro. You are making it about lift heavy vs volume. This is not the point. The critical part for you to understand is the difference in technique. Let's say 2 guys have a higher ratio of fast twitch but one wants to bodybuild while the other wants to powerlift. The guy that wants to powerlift will use techniques to make lifting heavier weight as easy as possible so he can hit PRs. He can manipulate speed, contort his body in different ways or use techniques so the weight has the shortest distance to travel for example. This will make him stronger but not necessarily grow the most amount of muscle possible. The guy that wants to be a bodybuilder should still be using challenging weights but in order to activate the most amount of muscle fiber, he needs to go full ROM and use different techniques such as hand placement on a bench for example to damage as much muscle as possible. This is not heavy weight versus volume. This is about the technique you should use to lift depending on your goal. Hope that clarifies.

[@cxa011500]

Wow! This is really eye opening. I've been doing so much wrong. I really wish I understood this more before.

thanx John! So pumped!

Road to 3M now

[@Red-fg9qr]

I freaking love you guys, as a newbie the amount of information provided in these kind of channels is amazing. I have noticed people that have been training for years that are doing it not wrong (because who am I to say so, I'm no pro or w/e) but seems they don't know most of these tips. A guy that has been lifting for 4 years just told me the other day to gain muscle I needed to eat a lot of bad foods and stuff (I mean really junk food) and because I have informed my self with these videos I know why he's all bulky and fat even though he does a lot of cardio and crushes it every time in the gym. Man with the correct diet he'd have a killer body.

[@najjtalib3841]

Never cease to fail, great video.

[@AnabolicAliens]

Glad you liked the video!

[@mgurcanli]

Great point from Mike. Being bigger you're gonna have more potential to be stronger, being strong you're gonna have more potential to get big. I'll keep this in mind

[@Antank8]

8:54-9:00 Scott's mind: damn yo eyes are pretty, can't wait till the camera goes off. lol

[@Saifuddin-mb6rx]

Why this comment has so less likes😂😂😂

[@seoisaac4335]

dang cant focus on the video anymore while watching lol... shouldnt have seen this comment

[@shahbaztariq2837]

LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BluartStack]

This is perhaps the crux of my whole issue, and precisely why my gains are always so stagnant. Thinking back on when I put on the most weight, I got a helluva lot stronger but didn't look too much different muscle wise. I was bigger sure. But I think too much of it spilled into fat and sabotaged all the work I put in. I love Scott's channel because he's consistently preaching the same concepts over and over to the point where I think I may actually be starting to get it. Regarding nutrition as well, im learning alot abput my own body and how it reacts to cretain habits. Thanks guys!

[@cesarpinto3840]

Very educational. .. thank you for sharing

[@AnabolicAliens]

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Scott your video's are always very helpful.

[@TwistedTentacleInn]

This video was really eye opening. I never thought about the differences based on goals. Thank you so much for helping everyone!

[@AnabolicAliens]

glad it helped you! excited for you to see all the new gains that are gonna start coming in after applying this principle!

[@Bob_Betty]

Absolutely brilliant :) Thanks for this video, it confirms what I thought from watching others, but in a direct and easy to understand way, and more importantly why you're doing what your doing not just doing it because some big guy told you at the gym.

[@MrEduard2009]

That sure clarifies a lot! Thank you for this, much appreciated. Keep up the good work :)

[@danman5484]

Scott you and your friend mike has opened eyes and mind on both strength and body building. I been working out for so long throwing mix match of body building and strength training, I get lost in transition. I have some muscle and some strength, but I should just stick to one type. I need to go subscribe to your site ASAP and stick to your programs. Going platinum.

[@Ido-ck6we]

Can you work on muscle building and strength training in the same workout ? I'm talking about splitting the workout to 2 parts??

[@viliamcepcek1008]

Yes you definetely can

[@sebastienroux1790]

What you need to progress in the gym: 1) Strength component that works the CNS and prepares the body for heavier weight. 2) Hypertrophy rep range to increase amount of muscle that the CNS can use to lift weight. 3) Regular change in training to shock the muscle to avoid plateaus. Leroy Colbert: 1) Strength component - hold 1 rep max statically without attempting the rep to prepare body to handle heavier weight. 2) Hypertrophy rep range - did 8-10 reps per set preferable, 6 at the minimum. 3) Regular change - Once hitting a plateau used blitz routine which changed the amount of sets per body part from 6 sets up to 20. Change order of exercises. Arnold Schwarzenegger: 1) Strength component - Did 5 sets per exercise with varying rep range to hit both strength rep range (heavy enough to work CNS), hypertrophy rep range to cause growth and endurance rep range. (15 10 8 6 6) 2) Hypertrophy rep range - Did 5 sets per exercise with varying rep range to hit both strength rep range (heavy enough to work CNS), hypertrophy rep range to cause growth and endurance rep range. (15 10 8 6 6) 3) Regular change - When hitting plateau, incorporate negative reps. Start with 6 rep max and basically do drop sets. Reduced rest between sets to increase intensity. Change order of exercises. Additional option: Periodization: 1) Strength component - A month has 4 weeks. Week 1 do endurance training. Week 2 hypertrophy. Week 3 strength training. Week 4 back to hypertrophy training but attempt to reach endurance rep range with the weight you used for week 2. 2) Hypertrophy rep range - A month has 4 weeks. Week 1 do endurance training. Week 2 hypertrophy. Week 3 strength training. Week 4 back to hypertrophy training but attempt to reach endurance rep range with the weight you used for week 2. 3) Regular change - Since you will be changing your training on a weekly basis you should not have worries about plateaus. The point is don't look for the best way to build strength or the best way to build size. Make sure you use a wide variety of training principles and change it up every now and then so your body can continue to grow. Because if you don't you will get used to it and your body won't have a reason to grow. By limiting yourself to only do strength training you will slow your own progress if not eventually halt it. Same goes to limiting yourself to only doing hypertrophy training.

[@chaeeprice449]

I do both strength training and bodybuilding. Best of both worlds. You want to look good but also perform good and train your nervous system. Then do a combo of strength training and bodybuilding.

[@350GJUGG]

What’s your program like?

[@headbandog5540]

Not at the same time though. Switch back and forth

[@blakebauman6374]

[@giridwiputra2903]

how about combining both? is that ok to switch the strength training to hypertrophy training every week or month?

[@namelessman8097]

I think so.

[@2FIT919]

Definitely a video well needed. A lot of individuals ask me about this all the time and when I explain it, they look lost. Definitely have to train according for your goals.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

glad you liked it!

[@eugeneyoo5599]

Loved the video but strength training is excellent for building muscle if the rep range is shifted to 4-6 or 5-8 that are close to 85% of ur on rep max. Think of it like this. Can your arms and back be small if u can do 100 pound chin ups for 4 reps? Obv not and that applies to other lifts. Like incline db bench, ur chest and tris cant be small if u can rep out 100 pound dbs

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Eugene... you are missing the entire point of the video. If after watching this video you now know that you can maximize your potential with a specific program geared toward building muscle or building strength.... why would you STILL try to use a strength training program for muscle growth?

[@eugeneyoo5599]

+ScottHermanFitness yeah I use a high volume routine like urs. But im just saying some strength training wont hurt

[@ScottHermanFitness]

No... but you need to pick a goal if you want to maximize your chances at reaching it... if your goal is to work on increasing your squat, bench, or deadlift for example... than you can benefit from strength training those movements in the beginning of the routine.. similar to my PUSH-PULL-LEGS program... once you finish that movement you move on to the high volume portion of the workout for muscle building. no point in applying "strength gain" tactics to a bicep curl or shoulder raise for example if the goal is to build muscle.

[@eugeneyoo5599]

+ScottHermanFitness yessir boss keep up the great work

[@strengtics5912]

Exactly 👌 That's why I don't like these terms" if you want to focus on building muscle just do slow high reps",to me the progressive overload in the medium rep range is the perfect spot between the too and most effective

[@1withnature]

I found the information in this video to be excellent. There is so much information available, but this side by side comparison really helps. Thanks.

[@ArturoGarcia007]

lol same here. i try not to rest more than 2 minutes but sometimes, it just happens. >.

[@thiagoplata]

Finally someone could explain this thing properly. Thank you!

[@maxwellhoffman7436]

So if momentum training doesn't hypertrophy a muscle then why do weightlifters have massive, thick, extremely well developed traps? I highly doubt they train by doing controlled shrugs - those guys are jerking the weight up and build massive traps as a result. Same for the lats, when I use a weight slightly above what I can handle with strict rows, I feel it way more in my lats as opposed to doing strict rows and my back has gotten bigger off "cheat" rows

[@liftedsafe0183]

Juice brother

[@Chocolateduc9]

Very awesome, especially the ending part about the potential hypertrophy helps with strength and vice versa.

[@rufinomanucot1846]

does building muscle make u stronger?

[@connorgames6668]

of course lol.

[@hunterh889]

Yes, you get stronger but not in the most functional sense.

[@huypham2911]

Rufino Manucot sure, but not as strong and durable as Powerlifters or Weightlifters!

[@namelessman8097]

Hunter Hedwall hmmmm,but there are slow muscle fibers and fast one. The slow is for durability (bodybuilder) and the fast one is for explosive work(powerlifter). Technically you'll need both to be strong in the humans sense. It is nice to take weights at your maximum level, but it would be far greater if you can hold it too, no? So why not do both?

[@rmcglynn80]

Thanks for this vid. I've learned a lot by watching your technique, but I think this was probably the one that taught me the most.

[@shawnc6605]

I always liked your video's but at 8:20 you're giving false information. Going to failure is not required to grow muscle.

[@Comix888]

This guy on left have lungs for 3 words only.

[@inquisitor4635]

Great video. Two humble, friendly and articulate dudes. The aspects of strength training described lends more caution regarding joint stress and injury potential, particularly in the short-term with low rep training. Joint stress and injury potential due to improper technique and form may be more of a considering concerning muscle building over the long term with higher volume training.

[@karlp5546]

So much bs in this video lol lifting with perfect form and to failure every set will only get you so far that's why your body hasn't changed in the past 5 years. Truth is that metabolic stress and metabolic damage contribute very little to your muscles getting bigger. The main driver of muscle growth is progressive overload and by that I just mean getting stronger period. Sure you can throw multiple rep ranges to stimulate a bit more sarcoplasmic hypertrophy but fact is 80% of your genetic potential in building muscle will come from getting stronger (if you're natural). Powerlifters are fkn big. It's easy to point out some small looking powerlifter without mentionning some small looking bodybuilder because if the bodybuilder wasnt looking big, why in the hell would he be competing. Look at all the world class powerlifters and strongmen, of course they're not fucking shredded they aren't competing for aesthetics but still they are big as fuck. Lots of them weigh more than 300lbs. Now come fucking tell me that raw strenght is not optimal for building muscle. The only factor that separate SOME raw powerlifters from natural bodybuilders is genetics. I don't care how many "slow and controled" bench press reps you can do with 135lbs. If your identical twin can bench 315 you bet your ass his chest is twice the size of yours, no matter what rep range or volume or frequency he utililized to get there, his chest is bigger cause he has a higher relative strenght than yours.

You are correct, but you can't write for shit.

[@ayonsaha7963]

Karl P but how can training for strength result in you building muscle? I mean, maybe that would be correct if you were to alternate like he mentioned. Get your strength up high to build the potential to build more muscle. You are right that you need to lift heavier as well to build muscle but how can training for strength contribute to hypertrophy. I’m thinking of it this way: doing failures to damage your muscle to build muscle. Then increasing your strength and doing those same exercises but at a heavier weight. Correct me if I’m wrong.

LMAO are you blind? They are practically the same in terms of size, but Scott is at a much much lower bodyfat percentage, which means he has more muscle in comparison.

[@kingkai3729]

Dude this vid is such an eye opener. Wanting to bodybuild, but have been training "strength" style for a while bc of so much misinformation (other vids and ppl in general). Thanks for the tips man. Hoping to bust through this plateau

[@Mythix2]

the powerlifter is bigger than the bodybuilder, all your point are invalid

[@tiberiul2827]

Mythix2 this happens when the bodybuilder is natural

[@matthewrolle1524]

His a natty

[@ahmedalfi8487]

you are really good at explaining these concepts

[@fotis7096]

he is bigger than you

[@TheMostHigh13]

Very educational. My favorite vid by far. Just found out that I do muscle building with dumbbell, resistance, and my natural bodyweight, and I do strength training with most of my barbell exercises.

Calisthenics is better..

[@masteranton5660]

Dont start the topic man its just contoversial af

[@conter888]

mohammed salah stay small

[@eamedo1]

Calisthanics and weight lifting are equally effective on your body especially if you apply those advices in your routine.. also why don't you add some Compound exercises of weight lifting such as Deadlift Which can't easily achieve it's benefits by bodyweight.

Awesome awesome video Scott! I love these informational videos

[@Androslop]

Outstanding explanation. One of the best videos i've seen on this subject. Great job.

[@toothfairy5352]

Of all the videos I've come across this is the best one. I never realised the huge difference and how I was going it wrong. Thank u! 😁

[@antoinettejones1630]

Wow, thanks for this fellas! This was eye opening for me and added another notch of understanding. I've done both strength training and muscle building, so a lot of reminology you guys used I recognize. Now, I'm putting the pieces together and can use the techniques properly where as before, I just did what I was told to do and how to do it. I'm thinking I can really make the mind body connection now that i have the 'why'. Great video!

[@AnabolicAliens]

very happy we could help, best of luck to you and your new gains that are gonna start coming in!!

[@Iceman-xe7jo]

There is a cross over between both training styles. You really can’t have one without the other. If your bodybuilding you will get stronger and if your strength straining you will get bigger. Your body will adapt to the stress placed on it. Nothing wrong if your bodybuilding to throw a set of 5 in your routine with a longer rest period especially if your wanting to get stronger in your routine for a phase.

[@Kerak82]

This was just a great video -- really clarified things for me. What a great idea to contrast both techniques. Kudos to you!

[@Moudiremoo]

You really deserve the 7 billion people thumbs up. Keep it up man just subscribed :)
