After having switched from endurance sports (triathlon) to olympic lifting two years ago, I've made the experience that social factors also play a huge role. I'm tall and lean and while I know that gaining weight is crucial for advancing in my lifting, I can really feel how the perspective of what is an ideal body type vastly differs between sports. People I know from my triathlon background now make comments about me "getting fat", while people I know from olympic lifting say that I am still way too slim for my height and that I'm hindering my progress. Besides the fact that this is a really uncomfortable social situation, I find it hilarious how some endurance athletes conceive even the slimmest strength athlete as "fat". It's all about what you're used to, I guess...

regardless of what anyone says there is an objective healthy weight and that is between 12 and 18% bodyfat, ideally 15% . So if your goal is general health and not competitive sports you should keep that in mind. If you want to win championships then ok you can switch to whatever body composition the sport demands.

Appreciate the content. Been considering a weight class jump for a while now. Used to compete as an 89, walking around closer to 95. Still pretty light for my height (1.85) in the world of strength sport. Couldn't access a gym for a few months a couple years back...wonder why...and picked up cycling again for the first time since college (and like anyone who trains compulsively I went all in). 3 months later I was down 15k. Since getting back to weightlifting, my numbers have surpassed all my old numbers but I am still hanging out at 80-81. Not unhappy due to the numbers going up, but I did enjoy being a bit heavier

I'm currently on the backside of that inverted U (after about a decade). I uploaded bench press videos to youtube a long time ago, no clue powerlifting existed. Got introduced to it via other youtube uploaders, used my first meet as an objective to lose weight and hit a certain weight class (110/242). Went well but fell far more in love with the strength gains. Gigabulked for a while, hit some big numbers as a drug free lifter (775/550/705lbs SBD if counting gym lifts, 775/525/700 on the platform, 550lbs front squat, 350lbs strict OHP). All of those came as a 140/308, (also managed a 501.5/661lbs push/pull as a 125/275). Now I'm below the body weight of that first meet I did, far more lean mass and in way better condition, and likely done competing unless I see a shot to bench 500lbs as a 110/242, as I've done it in every class above.

Very thought provoking video, please don't mind the long text. Anecdotally, I thought I needed to eat in surplus (sort of did though, helped a lot in kickstarting the process of regular training and growing without losing recovery), then I realized I was starting to get a bit extra and I could already burn a lot of fat that wasn't too obvious because I didn't look fat by any means. I went to maintenance and burned fat but kept growing. Then realized I might benefit a bit from surplus just in recovering from new and bigger stimulus/recovery demands, but actually ended up slightly cutting when the activity went on a pause. But all that body recomposition through surplus, technical maintenance and slight cutting made me rather familiar with how much extra fat I actually had in the body, like where to look at to gauge where my body is, and helping my get a feel of where my recovery demands are and how to keep growing in muscle. I'm happy I tried surplus and then maintenance and slight cut, but in all truth maintenance all the time would've been very sufficient. Just needed some work to realize how much the maintenance actually was. For a beginner it might not be obvious because a lot of the time the calorie strategies are directed to advanced folks, and a beginner might not benefit from them meaningfully. Like a beginner who's in a normal body shape doesn't become fat looking from gaining extra, but eventually you'll also understand that besides just growing those muscles, your abs won't be visible because there's quite a lot of fat in between, and you never realized because you had small abs and enough fat to look normal. The maintenance calorie recomp seems to be really practical for a normal person who hasn't lifted for years already. As long as you're actually matching your maintenance, even if your activity levels change your maintenance level. Seeing your muscles grow in front of your eyes despite the weight scale pin not moving is a good lesson in paying attention to what your body composition really is. And it's helpful for body image too in my opinion - like seeing your core grow bigger and bigger but look better because your fat levels go down at the same time. That you don't have to be afraid of growing in size, it's the composition that is more responsible of how you look. The best thing about a sport like weightlifting is how your body image is tied to your performance more than it is to psychological shortcomings. I started training with weights with good intention to make my body healthier and return functionality, but it wasn't until weightlifting and judo that I dropped the idea of how I should look like something specific. And to underline this, it wasn't the media or someone else putting that pressure on the body image, it was my own demonds in my head telling me I should look like something or the other. Other people had never commented on my body negatively. The muscle training and bodyweight became tools for performance, not sources of stress and demands. I started being less pedantic about exact numbers and focused more on how the body felt like and what the performance and recovery were, adjusted things on the fly and ate more laid back. Having said this, I feel like athletes, especially female athletes, should always have a nutrition coach. Just today I read about a national big promise female athlete who was breaking records early, and who had gotten comments on media linking their looks to their performance and entered a cycle of bad eating habits which also impacted the performance. She had no idea and reference to how she should actually be eating based on measurable facts, she was just concerned on how her eating looked like compared to other people (who were not professional athletes and the height of tall male as female) and thinking about her looks and thinking that's related to the performance. And it also happened in the age where her body was going through natural changes where a girl becomes a woman. And despite it being an anecdotal story, it's been repeated so many times that it's shocking that athletes don't have nutrition coaches by default, especially young and female athletes. And a psychologist wouldn't hurt either. I'm surprised that she underperformed for years without her coach being alerted about it at all or going through all possibilities.

Nice video. I’m curious about your experiences with recomp after a lean bulk from working with intermediate to advanced strength athletes. Many folks (including some on the science-based side like RP) lean heavily towards bulking and cutting cycles as opposed to gain and recomp, especially for more advanced athletes. It seems like quite a few top competitors actually do gain and recomp when going up a weight class, though. Would be great to get your insights on this!
@TheBcoolGuy
@TheBcoolGuy Жыл бұрын
That's because bulking is the best way to put on the mass you need to fill our your frame, and to have the energy to lift those really big numbers and recover. Fat loss is much quicker than muscle gain. It's just the most efficient route.

First part of this summed up my first 5 years in fitness: got in it to look better naked, quickly fell in love w getting strong and working on a powerlifting gym total, now weightlifting is scratching an athletic itch. Started at 175 lbs skinny fat now 175 pretty lean and struggling to get the weight up. Bodyweight/fat setpoint is a real thing. Currently focusing on getting decently proficient at current bw and squat #s at the lifts but then will for sure be looking to gain some weight and take eating seriously.

Your generalizations about gaining muscle mass reflect the prevailing attitude, and you miss an important point: one's "amateur sporting career" isn't the end-all, be-all for many of us. I have approached physical training the same way I approached learning to play the piano - it's a skill, I practice it, and I improve. I don't wish to transform my body in any substantial way, and I still weigh what I weighed when I graduated high school, but after beginning lifting in my late 40's, I continue to set PR's now, in my late 60's, and break records as well since there aren't many people still competing at M65-69, 67.5 kg. No doubt that I have added some muscle and lost some fat, but those changes are small.

I also do kickboxing 4x per week about 6 hours worth and swim 2x per week 1 hour each session. Started out at 130kg 4 months ago, been 105kg for last 6 weeks. I eat well, plenty of food 90% clean, somedays I don't eat much other days I cannot stop eating, I just listen to my body. I'm happy to just eat while it's winter and train hard, while educating myself the best I can on technique improvement. See where I am early next year. I can see my body putting some muscle on and feel stronger, happy to be hitting 120kg x6 reps squat and 130kg dead lifts. For me mixing it up with weights, HIT kickboxing and swimming seems to give me good results, I'm getting folks telling me I have changed a lot and that feels good.

I was shifting through strength sports for a few years after high-school football and gained a ton of muscle mass (living around 100kg). Talking about social factors catalyzing weight loss…all in sequence over a few months: my first girlfriend broke up with me, I was railing amphetamines during exams, and then went to Africa for a few weeks - went down to 80kg and insanely shredded - which opened me up to new types of training that suddenly felt more enjoyable such as mid-distance sprinting, boxing, more plyos and calisthenics, and kettlebell training.

Hey, I'm new to lifting. After being consistent with my training for around 6+ months I've now probably run out of my "newbie gains" and I'm finding it really hard to cope with that fact. I try really hard every single session to increase reps and weight slightly but it just feels like the process is so damn slow now that I don't feel like I'm progressing at all. Somehow I don't even feel like I lift at all. I've only recently been able to bench my own bodyweight (which a year ago would have not been something I could even dream about) so I've made some progress but I feel like it's not enough or even anything at all. I feel like shit basically and am on the verge of quitting again even though I don't want to because I don't want to waste any time at all. Whenever I'm at home and not lifting weights, especially on rest days I feel like I'm the same guy as I used to be and all my gains went away. If I'm not destroying my body and trying hard I feel bad but that sort of mindset isn't healthy and I need rest days. I'm also really struggling to eat more now because I was so used to eating less and now I just feel fat when I eat more. Hopefully I'll get over this soon. I literally did my Deadlift PR last week which was more than my body weight and somehow I'm crying right now thinking that I'm not good enough.

Your issue isn't your body. It's your mind. It seems to me that weight lifting, and particularly gaining muscle mass was tied to your self-consciousness on a very deep level. I can actually relate. When I first got into fitness, I mostly just did calisthenics with a buddy. I was terrified of gyms. We mostly did running and pushups. I was finally catching up to him in terms of how many pushups I could do, and mentioned as much with oride, and gratitude. He then let me know that he actually did a more difficult variation. I felt something in me shatter, and I couldn't really explain it at first. I thiught a lot on it, and realized that I felt I had finally "belonged" after so many years of not being taken seriously, and all of the sudden that feeling of belonging, accomplishment, pride, was all swept away. I still had the "training wheels" on. I told him how I felt, and was in tears. I had had a very rough time getting into fitness due to past experiences with bullying, and he understood. He had never meant it in a discouraging way, but understood if I wanted to stop. The decision I made then was to push through. Not for my body exactly, but for my soul. I needed to be strong internally as much as externally. Later I shifted more to weights, and it has suited me far, far better. However, I am planning to get back into running as I cut, clean up some of the muscle I packed on. You may also seek to change up your routine. But for the love of God, don't put a bandaid on what is clearly a deep wound. Assess why you feel this way, how lifting helped you, and why. It's wonderful you found relief in a great, productive pastime. But don't overdose on the painkillers, if ya know what I mean. Good luck man, sincerely

I've, unintentionally, lost 22 lbs in around 3 months (down from 232 to 210, at 5 foot 9). I've been eating about the same, and certainly "worse" in terms of food quality than I did previously (no anabolics, ever btw). I decided to give up strongman / highland games (the "heavy" events, at least) and closely tracking my weight. I went from training three times a week, very heavy, to training every single day light / medium and fast, (short rest periods), which is what - seemingly - has made the difference, assuming I don't have a tape-worm.

Hello Bu, medical student here. Since that is a pretty significant weight loss there, I‘d be cautious to any other symptoms you might be having (fatigue, fever, loss of appetite etc.) in order to rule out any underlying issues. If you stay at this weight and feel fine, it’s probably nothing and a result of lifestyle modification, otherwise I’d recommend seeing a medical professional. Good luck with training and have a nice day!

Since I started weightlifting my bodyweight continously increased. I never had that 'lean out' phase and now I am at a very stable 110 kg bodyweight. I'm still getting stronger at the strength based lifts like press, bench, squat and push press but my baseline strength for snatch and clean and jerk seems to be decreasing. It is weird in a way because I used to be able to do many reps close to my max. I still get the occasional pr now but all the weights I used to rep without much issue feel so much harder now. I also don't feel like there is much room for me to gain weight given my height and frame.

It's that lifts can still go up even though body weight drops down on the right side of the inverted U.

If you want to be a DYEL, go ahead, do your fancy snatches, power cleans and front squants. Meanwhile, I’ll be doing the basic non-technical lifts fit only for a barbarian, lifts which are time-tested to put the most meat and strength on you in the most efficient manner in the shortest period of time. You can never go wrong with the classic bench, OHP, squat, rows, and pull-ups. Not to mention also putting a strong emphasis on single joint exercises for the arms: curls, triceps variations, lat/front raises, and wrist curls. This is something even the mighty power lifters neglect, in turn leading to torso dominant physiques. Single joint exercises are to be treated just as importantly as multi joint if one of average genetics is to get big. Non-negotiable

@@jorgelisaola642 It probably is. I’m not denying it but clearly the channel is aimed primarily at weightlifters,whilst speaking on some of the latest news/developments in powerlifting and other strength points. So you,who trains in the main compound lifts,shouldn’t have had the incentive to disrespect weightlifters because the video didn’t even call you out or disrespect your style of training. If I’m a weightlifter my goals are to get the highest weight overhead,get the heaviest squat/front squat I can manage and keep improving.

Unless your goal is strictly powerlifitng/strength training, You can totally go wrong with the classics. To be athletic, build an aesthetic physique and prevent injuries it's imperative that you add in accessory movements along with non lifting exercises like running/swimming

"The inverted U curve" It's a bell curve ._. someone was sleeping in year 6 math

Eh nope. A bell curve would measure eg. the weight or iq for people within a dataset, and plot that against the number of data at that value. This curve is a time series, which never starts at zero and will never return to zero.

When you mention gaining muscle, are you discussing strength training vs hypertrophy training? As in, one should not do strength training before they have adequate muscle hypertrophy?

I find it difficult to balance basketball weightlifting, and dunking/vertical training/plyometrics/speed workouts. I want to smash prs in the gym, but at the same time I need to stay lean and slim/lightweight for basketball. I want to build up strength for the low post but at the same time I want to retain my first step explosiveness and the ability to dunk. Whenever I focus on one I sacrifice the other. My highest prs was a 180kg deadlift and 100kg bench at 100kg body weight, 14% bf, 194cm. The downside was, I was slow and I couldn’t jump well at all. My highest vertical and best dunks were at 86kg 10% bf but I was weak. My max bench was 85kg. I got pushed around in the post. I feel like I want to do everything and by doing everything I end up doing nothing and accomplishing nothing IDK I might hire a training coach and really dial down on diet. Maybe even hop on preworkout and creatine. I’ve been working out for 2 years
