I DID 100 PULL-UPS A DAY FOR 30 DAYS! (NUCLEI OVERLOAD EXPLAINED)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Looks like the internet exploded with all kinds of misinformation surrounding Nuclei Overload Training. I mean, why wouldn't it? It's so much easier to bash a training technique with false claims based on surface level research when your only goal is drama and views. So if you would like a clear explanation on what Nuclei Overload Training actually is in the most basic breakdown possible where anyone can understand the concept and underlying principles of how to utilize it. Then just sit back, grab your pre-workout and by the time you're done drinking it the video will be over and you'll be ready for your FIRST SET OF 10 REPS!

When I was 13-15 yo I used to do a lot of push-ups (I even have my own record 450 x knuckle push-ups 🔥). But by the age 18 I stopped training completely and when I started working out again 5-6 years later my chest got big so quickly that I stopped doing bench press for a while for other muscles to catch after that tremendous growth. Now I understand how important muscle memory is. For a long time now for chest and triceps I am only doing weighted dips (triceps version only) and still have better chest development than most guys in a gym.

You had 2 other things going for you. You had previously trained your muscles for a few years consistently. And you had applied Daily bodyweight training. Years later when you started working out. Those body parts grew faster from the earlier stimulation. Plus muscle memory which is those Nuclei being stimulated and increasing the muscle size. You can keep doing this also

I actually hope he doesn't make a response to your video cause we all know he won't back down and will discourage more people from adding nuclei overload as a tool in their toolbox.

[@dietrickvann.2748]

The message here is to always include ALL variations of muscle stimulation. Nuclei overloading is awesome for muscle memory and cardiovascular improvements, and also mind-muscle connection. The muscles need a variety of attack to grow. I love doing these crazy 100-reps-a-day sessions twice to four times per year for a week, and once for a month and see enormous improvement, especially in the subliminal muscles, the little connective muscles that need higher rep stimulus. This overloading technique preps the muscle for growth once you go back to normal progressive training.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks very much for the comment. And yeah. Greg is right. Most people dont train hard enough. But he explains muscle growth as “micro tears” in the muscle. Which is true. But without more nuclei you cant sustain more muscle mass. So nuclei overload is more about trying to figure out ways to get your body to create more.

So you are saying that a year of sporadic training where you weren't training hard or consistently has led you to have more muscle and nuclei because of it?? Surely training hard and consistently and continuing progressive overload would have led to much better results. I think what Greg was saying is there's not much point to nuclei overload training if you are already training hard and consistently. Your experience seems to have been a good one based on the fact that you had sporadic training for a long period of time

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Well. Think about this my friend. What do you think I was doing BEFORE the time off? I was training my ass off daily. What I was implying is that being forced to take longer periods of rest caused me to “detrain” which helps your body become more sensitive to muscle damage and mTOR could have lead to more myonuclei donation.

Zero bating actually. I had been asked on so many occasions to do a video about nuclei overload training so I finally decided to do one even though I had no interest in doing it. Was just giving the audience what they wanted. So I watched your video and others to see what people are doing and saying and then made a video. It wasn’t a pic on any one person to make fun of anyone person it was just to give the general audience and understanding of what people are doing for nuclei overload training and why it’s not needed or better at causing muscle growth then science based training. That 3-D guy ended up making a response video where I caught him making a bunch of lies about it which was unfortunate for himAs I then had to make a response video to him because he was using my name and trying to make fun of me the entire time. I don’t actually make my tags that’s way too much work if you think I even know how to add a tag then you are overestimating my text skills I worked 100 hours a week I don’t have time for that. But I don’t mind making this video because you just explaining what you think is the right way which is totally cool the 3-D guy was different because he was essentially trying to bash me and so I had to bury him which I did as anyone that watch the video will know and I’m not gonna bother with any more 3-D alphas videos I mean come on the guy does videos about how the sunlight is going to make you Jacked. I’m also not a fan of blood flow restrictor training but I really don’t wanna have to make a video on this either it’s just simply too boring for me and I have way too many other videos to make so I’m not gonna make a response video I have other videos that I’m working on I don’t have the time trust me I just don’t have the time. We’re cool though I hope people don’t see this as a Greg versus Scott hate each other tight video because I certainly don’t do you Scott as the enemy at all and I still continue to recommend people watch his videos I can’t say the same for 3D alpha sorry not actually sorry 🤷🏻‍♂️. I’m not actually against what you’re saying however if anyone thinks that my legs are big because I was a triathlete or that I’m Jack because I bike ride all the time or that running a lot is going to make you have big muscles or that farming all day is the secret to future muscle growth then they’re just out to lunch and if anyone thinks that the proper way to train is to do 10 sets of the same body part every day for a month then that simply ridiculous as well.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Greg, I will take you at your word as you had told me before you have someone else do your video editing. But if you are "going to give the people what they want" then you should take into consideration that what you say is going to have an impact on them. I would have rather seen you make a video about Nuclei Overload Training talking about the fundamentals of what it is which, for the most part, is right in line with your training ideologies. You're always telling your community to "train harder". Nuclei Overload Training is also training harder, but with an added component of "more rest" in an attempt to detrain your body and try to make it once again more sensitive to muscle damage and mTOR. I think your community would certainly sit and listen if you took the time to present data that information and then offer your opinion on whether or not you think the data is valid. As for your big legs, I don't think Migan was trying to imply that you didn't train your ass off for years in the gym. His intentions were to suggest that due to all the bike riding/training you've been doing your entire life that you may have created more myonuclei in those muscles over the years and because of it when you hit the gym the additional Nuclei resulted in your legs being able to hold more mass which is why your hardcore training got them so big. My goal my video videos of 10 sets of 10 reps for 30 days followed by 10 - 12 days of detraining is to see if someone at my level can try to induce more growth over time this way. But for that to happen, I will need to repeat the 30 day runs multiple times and that will take time for a final result / definitely decision. But sharing my experience is definitely fun and eye opening.

20 minutes of beauty, man. I haven't started NO yet but I have been doing fewer sets but in gym almost every day a week. Noticed as an advanced lifter some more growth (no joke) AFTER recomposition...I gained back what I lost man and testosterone is back as well, of course with more calories and more sleep. Heaviest I've been, albeit with some fat addition. Time to hit NO on biceps, but I feel that 100 a day would get in the way of my home-gym workouts since each body part hit needs to count way more per set, as I'm dropping volume on a given day for more days/week working out. Any advice in this regard for still implementing NO? It's somewhat related to one of your Instagram questions. As always, stay fresh brother!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

If you just do your biceps AFTER your home workout, it won’t impede those sessions. Plus, you don’t have to go super super heavy with your nuclei overload training. So saving biceps for after should be all good!

[@TranscendentalMindX]

@@ScottHermanFitness Gotcha. I'll try to tap in still. Plus, if I go heavy on back first, then the added stretch in Biceps will help for the NO training after during the pump..also means I could use lighter weights and push with higher reps to failure.

No need to go into communities full of haters, when I can stay with you, Jeff Cavalier, Jeff Nippard and Jeremy Ethier, who in my opinion are the best at the game. Love your videos, love how you explain all the stuff and probably seen most of them. Everytime I watched them I get motivated and now is no different so I'll go workout with the only two exercises I need for quads. Let's goo 🔥🔥 And now let's wait for the next video of this GOAT.💪💪

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks man. REally appreciate your kind comment! too much negativity in the fitness community. Let's keep it real and about the gains!!

I did it too and saw pull ups got a little easier than before . When I first started it took me 1hr to do then on my 15th to the end it took me bout 20 to 30mins to do 100 pull ups.

I've been at 1750-1850 calories and I was going weighted pullups and a pull-up pyramid a week. For the past like 6 weeks due to gym closure... Left 162 ..came back 167 pound all back muscle and I lose 1 inch on my waist. Makes no sense. I was trying to get to 150 pounds before I start my strength training and get buff.

[@lapnguyen2898]

Love you Scott for making these videos. While I do also watch videos from other KZbinrs, I like your the best because I know there isn't a sale pitch within or after the videos. Thank you again!

[@TranHungDao.]

best example of nuclei overload is combat fighters, i accidentally did a nuclei overload because I got lazy after 1 month of hard training my coach setup. We were training hard af everyday and my body just gave up after a month, so I thought id take a week break. I came back and every part of muscle felt so much stronger, quicker and all of the above. Usually when I take a day off I feel off, but this time it was a weird energy of strength.

[@theblackreaper4395]

Hey Scott, I'm 17 and I've been lifting for three months, progressing to around 20 pound dumbbells. My shoulders have always been lagging. So I wanted to ask, can the nuclei overload workout be spread throughout the day with maybe three sets at once, and are dB raises and pike pushups enough stimulus for growth. Big fan!

[@isaiahc2994]

not an expert on the method by any means but seeing youve only been training for 3 months, you have no reason to do this method. give it another 2 years or more at the very least. youre still at the very early stages and can easily make gainz for dayzzz. take advantage of gaining the most while doing the least as long as possible 😊

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I agree with Isaiah, probably no need for you to do this just yet. Are you training your shoulders multiple times a week for starters? With something like PPL or Full Body? muscularstrength.com/Full-Workout-Programs/Muscle_Gain

Do a novice linear program like starting strength or stronglifts 5x5 with added isolation

[@UncleDanBand64]

It depends. You can do Nucleus Overload for a month take a week to 2 weeks off rinse and repeat. I did biceps for 3 weeks and stopped because I got a slight injury to my left arm. Currently I have about 5 days until I go back to my normal workouts. You could also pick another muscle to work on. Day 5-7 sucked. I do very high volume training so, in order to overload the biceps....I really had to ramp it up. By day 8 I felt great. As I side note I am 56 years old.

[@barney1998SG]

I Really Love the nuclei overload i did it For my biceps and Shoulder like 10 reps for 10 sets for 30 days and in actual i didnt see that much of growth in my muscle but what i saw is before i wasnt able to do any pullup not even a single body wait pullup on my own but as i was doing my nuclie overload training now i m able to do atleast 5 pullups without any support or bands and i was so pumped when i did it on the first time boy was i happy, Thanks scott for the Amazing vids love u alot.

Should I completely take out the muscle out of my regular training if I’m doing nuclei overload on that muscle? F.ex. take out any chest exercises out of my upper lower split routine when I’m doing 8x20 chest-dips everyday?

[@chidiiloabachie2249]

Must you do the same exercise for nuclei overload training? For example, why not alternate pull-ups and lat pulldown. Or for bis, cable curls and db curls. Why just the same exercise for the 30 days?

You could if its the same movement pattern. I just like to keep things simple

Looking good Scott. I did 100 pull-ups 2 a week for 2 months and got tendonitis in my elbow so that's to much for me. but I was doing wide grip NOT biceps pull-ups I'll give that a try when the elbow calms down. Tendonitis might be due to my age 60Y/O?

I had the same issue when I added a 45lb weight with a wide grip. The only advice I got from a orthopedic doctor was not to do them anymore which isn't helpful.

Would it be OKAY to train other body parts while resting the body part I nuclei overloaded? Or are you saying taking a FULL 14 days off from EVERY body part? Thank you!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Its ok to train other bodyparts. Just be mindful of secondary movers. For example. If you Nuclei Biceps, remember they are still activated when training back. So take it easy on your back movements. At least thats how I feel about it

[@yasersyria1608]

Red band being 45lps and green being 65lps.

[@geoffreyivie9885]

If doing 100 push ups a day and starting to get tired like your 5th set needing a resistance band. When finding a way to have assisted push ups how do I make it through the rest without compromising form? Knee push ups? Decline push ups with hands on bench? Other? How would I do this with 100 push ups especially when I start running out of juice?

[@mikeyd7733]

I appreciate the fact you are pushing this topic because I don't see or hear many other people mention it. I'm not versed enough to really make any claims, but based on real world experience this concept seems kind of obvious. Some of the strongest people I know haven't lifted a weight in 10 years since we were all still in college, but they work super strenuous physical jobs. The simple fact that they are constantly pressing their body without even lifting results in an impressive physique. I know this is not an exact parallel but the general idea of it is apparent in every day people. I'm not sure what the fight against this would be other than wanting to stick to their dogma.

Do you recommend targeting the different heads throughout the 30 days so for example when doing biceps, day 1 I would to regular dumbbell curls then day 2 do incline dumbbell curls, then day 3 do dumbbell concentration curls then day 4 do dumbbell hammer curls, then rinse and repeat throughout the whole 30 days? Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer Cheers

Did you achieve a OAC/OAP? with doing that high volume everyday.

Hey Scott I got a great challenge for you. I think you have said your a gamer before. So in the FF7 remake they have a Minigame where you compete in a squat and pull-up competition. So I thought “You know I’m putting them through this hell. I should do it too.” So you have do the same amount of reps as you have the character do till you beat the champ.

Isnt detraining the same as strategic deconditoning that is followed by people that are using HST program? But within these 2 weeks of detraining or deconditoning cant you lose muscle mass? Cause am not sure how long you can maintain the muscle size without training. Anyway, Awesome video Scott.
