When I turn on a new video of Sam every time, it immediately feels good to me and also gives me motivation, the goal of becoming the best version of myself. I'm grateful to you, Sam!

[@Vlonegraal711]

@@atlas4647 it’s different with everyone brodie, it is inspiring seeing someone like Sam consistent asf and steady giving out info as much as he knows and it might not seem like the best or a lot to others but people like me it is motivating.

Hey Sam I have been working out for the past few months and I finished an arm day today and found a bicep vein! You were a great motivator for me so thank you for getting me here.

I’m 24 and I just started going to the gym on August 8th. I have since gone over 90 times for 2 hours a day. Following a PPL split. I have gained 15 lbs (160 to 175) and I don’t plan on stopping. Thanks for the vids Sam. Wish I started sooner but I worked a manual labor job for years that made me so tired everyday.

[@NoOne-rh1ll]

2 hours a day for ppl? u must be doing a lot of volume

[@DesocupadoXtremo]

​@@NoOne-rh1llBegginer phase can do a lot of sets, over time it will get so hard he dials it down, experience and time changes your split and volume

[@keylite69]

u dont need to go 2 hrs a day brother, u just need a maximum of 3 exercises for one muscle group after that its just junk volume. Also are you doing a 6 day ppl or 3 day ppl because if its 6 then 1 hr a day should be more than enough.

[@DesocupadoXtremo]

@@keylite69 i mean, 3 max its a stretch, for small muscles yeah, but for like back? You can easily distribute 5 with good variety

[@keylite69]

@@DesocupadoXtremo i said muscle group, so usually on back days its 3 exercises for the lats and 2 for traps

[@cMind607]

30:36 even for a person that has lifted for a minute imo youll always have times where lifting is more important and less depending on your life, I'd love to be in the gym 5 or 6 days a week but when i work 5 to 6 days a week im exhausted and did hlt the gym for a few months on a busy schedule but I cant sustain that safely, ive reduced my time in the gym to 2 to 3 days of weight training and maybe a day of calisthenics if i feel it, i walk 2-4 times a day daily. Im afraid ill lose gains as ive never worked out as little as i am but im still getting them in and getting good steps plus ive really improved my diet overall so we'll see ig.

[@frankiecoins7635]

Sam's videos are my cardio time

How much muscle mass will you lose over cutting? I’ve lost 28 pounds since May and my digital scale says I’ve lost about 2 pounds of muscle mass. Is that healthy/okay?

[@w3freak]

[@Masondiel]

What’s in the electrolyte concoction you have every morning? Also what pre-workout do you use now? Last thing what was the colorful drink you used to have during your workouts and why don’t you anymore?

[@brodiesmartin1897]

Just got done with a leg day. Was supposed to be chest but I felt like doing my legs when I got in. barbell and leg presses couple of heavy sets followed by failure. Riding that failure and stimulus till I couldn't do 115. Heavy leg presses good 10 reps increasing the weight than a failure set.

[@alicelablanche5970]

Better version of myself so true senya, thank you Sam for everything you do!

[@ZackcHowie]

Gotta take the post car talk seriously. I had a friend in school who had zero experience in the gym. He joined my buddy and I for 3 workouts, push,pull and legs. Same amount of sets and exercises. The newbie ended up with horrible back pain, and asked if it was normal that his pee was the colour of coco cola (he was from Venezuela, his English was getting better but we just assumed he was dehydrated. He ended up with Rhabdo and was hospitalized for 8 days. He spent his entire reading week in the hospital. Funny to say his still one of my best friends to this day.

[@AndrewDembouski]

What the heck happened to him??

[@ZackcHowie]

@ he was just a guy who had zero fitness experience, had horrible diet, never drank enough fluids and had a horrible sleep schedule (he would play LoL till 3am) . He wasn’t obese by any means, it was really my fault. I didn’t realize that my level intensity could be so damaging to someone who’s never worked out before. I forget what his creatinine levels were , but the doctor said it was the worst case of rhabdomyolysis he’s ever seen.

[@ilailaichuk5456]

when should i eat a pre workout meal? an hour before the workout? I feel that if i eat it too close to the workout i feel kind of nauseous and too early means the carbs wont come into effect

[@michaelchandler3419]

without Sam i would not be doing cardio, 30 mins every day🔥🔥

[@michaelroams]

I think you could get more range and contraction from putting extra focus on inhaling during eccentric and exhaling during concentric. Something I definitely struggled with and helped a lot when I fixed it and randomly noticed watching you today

[@BearsDenCollective]

Everyone starts somewhere indeed, been lifting since I was 14 and am now 33. Make It a part of your life and you will reap benefits that others cannot perceive

[@MrBugout11]

That's amazing bro. I've got a question to ask, did you just follow the same workout routine through out your 30 years? I'm new to the gym, so I'm sorry if the question seems stupid.

[@BearsDenCollective]

@ not at all. I’ve tried all different styles of weightlifting, including CrossFit. As you can imagine your interests will change as you change as an individual. I’ve even dabbled with anabolics but have been off them for almost 7 years now. The biggest thing that will help your gains is intensity and consistency, you can add variation with supersets and pre-exhausting or post-exhausting a targeted muscle. Obviously diet and recovery play crucial roles as well. Enjoy the journey my man, stay strong 🦍

[@heretickle699]

Back day. Watching this in my outdoor home gym and I just rigged up that cable row set up Sam was repping and boom.. that movement hits.. new staple back exercise ? Engaged.

KZbin making sure we get our minimum 3 sets of ads with 2-3 reps, sometimes with a super set

[@brandonalexander9854]

My advice would be to start keeping your neck silent. A lot of neck movement and strain every rep. If not over the years it’s very possible you’re going to start forming bone spurs and nerves will start shutting down

[@rossa10]

Very wholesome young man. Very best for rest of your diet cycle. Looking good.

[@mehdighayati6864]

today happened to be my back day as well and the same thought occured to me, it is really hard for me to actually feel my lats while doing pulldowns/rows, kind of easier for biceps tho

[@kevinq775]

Sam you really described my recent “I understand it now” moments in the gym.

[@dram3026]

Excellent content bud. Question. Would you ever try doing bulk or shred cycles without gea? I'm sure plenty of people would love to see you pull that off. You have amazing dedication. Just a thought........

No reason to sit backwards on an incline bench to do pulldowns when you're going to sit up straight when you pull down.

[@BassknucklesYT]

what are some tips for bulking

[@Mar-coOrtiz]

I like to call focus on contraction, the turkey baster method, squeezing all the blood out, and sucking it all back in letting it fill your muscles up

[@peter_knowz_lifting]

Roll Call!

[@f.3947]

Here WE GOO 🎉🎉

[@ColCam]

Hit back today. Was doing 245 on lat pulldown for 10. And I pulled something in my back. I think it was the infraspinatus. Remember guys if you are lifting make sure you are lifting safely. Icy hot is a lifesaver though.
