[@donquixote...]

ScottHermanFitness Actually, I found it very timely... Been using more salt lately myself, especially since/if consuming more fluids here in Texas during the summer as that can thin out one's electrolyte stores...

[@atrizzleness]

Scott, I'm late, so I'm not sure you're going to see this comment, but you really need to make a follow up video to this. You need to discuss the importance of potassium in conjunction with salt. The presence of potassium plays a huge role in determining how much salt is too much salt. Here's what I mean- www.bodybuilding.com/fun/likness14.htm

This is the real deal. I started a diet and a few weeks later just lost my drive to workout. I was forcing myself to lift everyday. Tried this and it was exactly what I needed. Thank you!!

[@BionAvastar3000]

this video obviously isn't meant for people who aren't eating healthy and following a training regimen.

[@averagewheyenjoyer]

BionAvastar3000 ye no shit

[@erikmintz6234]

This comment section is an excellent source of salt...

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Haha so true.

[@andrewkucbel4004]

What I have especially noticed is the importance of salt on deadlift days. If I don't consume enough sodium before or during the workout I experience I experience uncomfortable blood-pressure drops every heavy rep. It's absolutely normal though, because most people including myself use pre-workout blends that includes caffeine, which is a diuretic, making you lose water (and by extension your electrolytes). Holding on to more water via sodium helps you for other exercises generally as well. It's great that the info about sodium is changing in the public/fitness scene. Most people who have been on low-carb/ketogenic diets have known the importance of salt in preventing the first week's "Keto flu" and blood pressure changes. Thanks, Scott!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Andrew Kucbel yeah. It is especially important for people who live in really hot areas and sweat a lot too. Thank so much for the kind comment. Keep up the great work!

[@andrewkucbel4004]

[@hachemshahrour8740]

I think the misconception is that high sodium is bad. In reality high sodium is irrelevant but what is relevant is potassium to sodium ratio. The higher the potassium to sodium ratio the better

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Interesting insight! The research for this video didn't cover the potassium relationship too much.

[@JazzyJ5G]

I was about to say the same thing. Agreed! Thanks,

[@Legendeasily]

@@ScottHermanFitness 3 years late on this but research has actually proven that people with HTN do better off by increasing their potassium as opposed to decreasing their sodium. Great video

[@scopepwns042]

[@Chewyblanketsam]

I've also always been told to reduce my salt intake as much as possible so this video is quite surprising, I've got a gym session and a rugby preseason session today and I'm going to try half a teaspoon of salt in my mouth before I workout. I'll comment back in a few hours to let you guys know how it goes and how the workout felt. Thanks for the change in mindset Scott I'm interested to see whether I'll actually feel a difference.

[@Chewyblanketsam]

Alright so I felt like I had a bit more energy in me during my gym workout after taking the salt, I found I was drinking less water because I didnt feel thirsty. I definitely felt a bit more pumped up than normal so its a thumbs up from me.

[@JustARegularGymBro]

@@Chewyblanketsam Did you get better gains after starting eating salt?

[@Chewyblanketsam]

@@JustARegularGymBro don't think table salt made a big difference, however whenever I workout I make sure to have a drink full of electrolytes and salts (like squash) usually makes me feel a lot more energetic so i work out harder and build more gainssss

[@moneymitch2992]

@@Chewyblanketsam bro table salt is not the move do pink Himalayan

[@Uzeil21]

This is so true, when I started REALLY working out and sticking to a diet my first week was amazing but then I hit a total wall, zero energy, zero drive. The problem was I had almost completely cut salt out of my diet, I had been coasting off the salt left over in my body from my junk food diet. I would sweat until my shirt was soaked through and there would be no salt on it when it dried. Now that i've been tossing salt back into my diet and noticed a huge improvement and i'm back on track.

[@MediAndLemon]

thanks, slowly getting closer to my fitness goals thanks to you and a twitch streamer by the name of tominationtime. So thank you for your geat content and the motivation we get from it!

[@chicofrijoles]

Thank you so much for this video, Scott, this is life-changing information, and I really appreciate your positive attitude. You look fantastic: very nice muscles (neck, shoulders, arms). The information you're sharing is blowing my mind because the health culture always told us, "Eat low salt." Lately, ever since I've started working out more intensively, I've been waking up in the middle of the night with leg cramps, despite taking "Natural Calm" magnesium before bed. I'm getting plenty of magnesium in my diet, but I am female and I squat and deadlift. My deadlift is almost my body weight - which is considered intermediate strength level (as opposed to beginner or advanced). During my workouts, I pour sweat, especially in this hot and humid summer heat (I work out outside). On top of my strength training, I push-mow 1 acre of lawn throughout the week during the summer. Again, I'm pouring sweat. I eat a low carb (and low sodium) diet. I've lost 35 lbs, very slowly, over the past 2.5 years and I'm in the "healthy" range BMI. But my leg cramps!! I just found this video, which made me realize that when I eat miso soup (a high sodium soup), I don't get leg cramps. I think low sodium is my problem. I'm going to experiment and try your saltwater solution before and during my next workouts - and probably just try to add more salt overall to my diet. I don't eat any processed food, and I eat unsalted raw nuts, and little to no added sugar. I feel great and have a lot of energy - actually, the best I've felt in a long time. Thank you, again, for making this video, I appreciate it/you. I'm subscribed and getting all notifications.

[@porkchopped465]

Oh man this is the answer I was waiting for I was a saltoholic since I was 10 years old everything in my food I had to have salt then my wife my family starts telling me its bad for you and so on so by the age of mid 30s I quit salt but remembering those days having salt in my diet I had no problems I was healthy my doctor always tells me that my heart was great that's the time when I played soccer now I quit the salt I have this belly fat all of a sudden which I never had before. its time to change that because I love salt.

Very interesting Scott, is something that most people don't take into account, and if the do, is to eat as little as possible as you said. Keep it up bro!

[@minciNashu]

i go low on salt (i only sprinkle a bit on meats) to avoid water retention. i have my doubts if that's a good thing. but anyway, i noticed when i eat out, relatively salty foods, my muscles feel fuller the next day.

[@capt-morgan276]

Scott, just wanted to say THANK YOU. I never would've believed it, but after this upload I started implementing a teaspoon of salt before my workouts and my pumps have been insane. Cheers bro and keep up the great work!

[@a.f.s.3004]

Best video I watched in a long time....more salt, less sugar and carbs......SOLID ADVICE that doctors are not even aware of! 💪

[@Sefirosu88]

I dont think so man, 50% of the population are sensitive to salt, look at the statistics, asian / indian people consumes more salt then everyone, in fact majority are skinny fat, salt makes you retain water and slow metabolism and increse the work of the heart, 3mg per day is enough, if you sweat a lot you can increase, but i will stay in the raccomended daily dose 3/6mg per day, but less is better.

[@MrUseless247]

When I was in the hospital, I wasn't eating so they made me take this pill and when I immediately took it I could taste it was just salt in pill form. I've been taking 'apple cider vinegar' that usually kills any sugar cravings, and I also heard it's good for you, just don't over do it. I still have to do some more research on it.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I've heard about benefits from apple cider vinegar too, but need to look more into it.

[@GenAries11]

So it is true! I remember a couple of years back my friend was doing dead lifts he said he wasn't feeling pumped and he asked the guy who worked in the gym for salt packets bc it would help with his work out and I was confused bc I heard that it wasn't good to take salt especially if you were going to work out....thanks Scott for putting this to bed

[@womp6338]

So true. I sometimes drink water with a bit of salt before a long workout. Helps you retain water and stops thirst as long as you don't overdo it! Much healthier alternative to sports drinks

[@guilhermekfwst]

I think that if you exercise everyday and drink a lot of water you will get rid of those side effects, as you'll be eliminating the exceeding sodium from your system. What do you guys think?

I am 49 live in hot humid Florida and lift weights outside was lifting sweet rolling off my head into my eyes and burning like hell so when I was done lifting went inside and muscle in my lower right side of my stomach balled up and hurt like hell for a few minutes the pain was not nice so I figured I must have lost to much salt so I grabbed some salt really fast while in pain and mixed it with a cup of water before I passed out from the pain from hell!!! in just a few minutes after consuming the salt the balled up cramp eased off . so you are smart by saying take some salt before your workout because if it keeps the muscle cramps at bay I will take salt before I workout every time you can count on that abb cramps and stomach cramps aren't fun!!!

We just need a healthy potassium to sodium ratio and less processed foods! I need more salt than a normal person because my body doesn’t process salt like most.

so if you eat McDonald's 3 times a week you don't need extra. however we lift. so this is fantastic advice. when I first started to eat mainly lean protein fruits and vegetables I started cramping and my performance decreased. I didn't realize at first but it was my salt intake. I started adding more sea salt to meals and it made a huge difference. no more cramps etc. so everything is just tools in the toolbox, but it's important info to keep in mind. thanks Scott!

Hi, Scott! Question not related to this video. Which one is better in building back muscles? Pull-ups or lat pull down? Hope you can make a versus video of these two exercises if you think they're worth it.

[@lukemadden9690]

I lose so much salt through sweat between living in an hot house, working in a kitchen, and lifting. If I don't get enough salt I'll get horrible leg cramps. This advice may sound weird to some of you but as athletes or even just regular lifters you really do need to replenish it. This is another example of what's best for the typical person may be the opposite of what's best for an athlete.

Get Himalayan salt and dissolve it in clean water (not tap) and put in enough salt until there is so much it can’t dissolve any further into the solution and mix a teaspoon every day into your water bottle during training. It’s not that strong when diluted and actually tastes nice when working out. Also salt capsules before training come in handy. I usually take 2 about 30 mins before I train.

[@luisf7105]

[@AlessandroAntonetti-v2r]

Hey Scott, I have a question about your last video called "bulking and cutting mistakes". Basically, if I wanna cut, I have to keep in mind that on days where I don't train, I burn less calories. So I have to adjust my meals and eat less food, otherwise I would be in a maintance state and the cut could last forever. A couple of days ago though, I read an article by an important and competent italian coach I know on a site stating that his athlete, who was in contest prep for a BB show, had more results eating less on training days (4 days a week of training) and more on off days (the remaining 3 days). What do you think about it? Do you think it makes a difference? P.S. I wrote here because I figured I could have more chance to get your answer ;) Anyway, thanks for this "salty" video hhaah

[@toodutch]

When I went low carb, the dietician that I had said that it was okay to eat a teaspoon of salt once a day as well, as long as it was 'healthier' salt with all the minerals in it. Felt weird and I only do it sometimes (put salt on my eggs and meat already) but I'm not dead yet and my blood pressure is perfect. I know that the medical field can take a long time to 'fix' their previous (wrong) statements like on fat for instance : now everyone realizes sugar is the real killer. Keto is on a high roll as well, and more and more evidence supporting high fat low carb is healthy now emerge. But: your results may vary. As with everything else.

[@christianmorris7172]

good stuff Scott!! - so is there a link between sugar cravings and salt intake? I have noticed over the past week or so that I am full (so eating enough food) but never satiated - I believe this to be due to a more "flexible" week that I have had with my food. Ie. still sticking to the right # of kcals, but a higher proportion has been coming from sugar. So to summarise - do you reckon increasing my salt would help increase satiety? (and obviously lowering sugar - because that is an obvious yes)

This video is aimed at people who already have a baseline for their nutritional needs, not the untrained individual. Chris isn't demanding you to up your salt intake. He's suggesting those who are already aware of their overall nutrition to reevaluate their sodium intake, as it may be doing more harm than good.
