[gearjulian]

hey scooby,

wondering what workouts do "you" do for lower back? I am a gym "junky" I guess you can say, however I like to use your workouts and techniques in the gym. And lower back is the only thing I can seem to find you doing.

[ElDiosPutazo]

God exists O.O

[Kindest88]

Thank you scooby for always interesting and useful information which you provide in your videos =)

[ttayttay]

If I can only do one or two pullups, do you suggest doing the assisted pullup machine where I rest my knees on a pad that pushes some weight upwards to help me do more, or just crank out the 1-2 I can do?

[threepeice]

Thanks for the informational videos, you are helping people and teaching people. In essence giving back something positive. Namaste

[thebelalashraf]

lol Peter Zane - Joker. 

[randumbusername]

A muscular Mr. Rogers. Going to check out the rest of your videos.

[nanzioboy]

Hey Scooby.

Quick QUESTION: Is this SOMANABOLIC MUSCLE MAXIMIZER thing for real?

I am thinking of purchasing it as it only costs $67. What do you think? Please Help .

[jrzy49]

wow- this is awesome advice I never thought about before. I always knew that underhand was easier but didn't think much about it. Thanks Scooby!

[2099F]

you are amazing :D!

[JohnMateeee]

Hey Scooby, I have a problem. Its nothing to do with the video but i really need it answering.

I have really sticky out collar bones, I've researched and carnt find a good method to build muscle around them to hide them a little.

If you have any good methods a response would be very very much appreciated, Thanks.

[shakbolt]

@JohnMateeee yeah scoob how do i build some muscle there at the colla bones

[JohnMateeee]

@shakbolt Tell me if you find a solution :p

[shakbolt]

@JohnMateeee hey,,the solution is,,gain fat/weigh nd then do chest, shoulder workouts,,thts how its done,

[JohnMateeee]

@shakbolt I carnt gain weight, i can sit in my house not move out my bed eat 5 times a day and not put on a pound :p

[shakbolt]

@JohnMateeee you must eat food which is good for your health nd stuff!! not all those fried , sugar stuff,,eat chicken thats wat i'll say.. nd you have to eat lots f food to gain weigh,, :P. btw how much do you weigh now and how old are you??

[JohnMateeee]

@shakbolt 15 about 10 stone, but im skinny :p

[Goldin69]

@JohnMateeee try taking 2-3 protein shakes a day, along with doing some heavy weighlifting, worked for me, and i was the same, the added calories along with the normal meals you carry on eating is great for adding weight

[JohnMateeee]

@Goldin69 Thanks :-)

[187MuffinStud]

this guy is a fokin legend

[supermankelly]

[expIorer5148]

haha, see you next time too, Peter Zane!

[noobcake56]

scooby how many hats do you have hahaha :P

[1Jonman1]

GOD DAMN! Havn't watched your vids in quite a while, you were always huge, now; you're wider than you are tall =O Great vids too!

[MbDDDDDD]

peter zane :DDDD

[tyciol]

UGH. Scooby please don't support this supine=chin prone=pull movement. It's baseless. They're all pull ups and we should just describe the grip (neutral/prone/supine). "Chin" should refer if we touch the chin to the bar or get it over the bar or something like that. I personally think touch because if you get the chin over the bar we can call it a neck-up since the neck touches.

[jmwintenn]

huh,guess i have weak biceps,as when i use a wide grip it's easier than when i use a close grip.

[jaill2hell]

i have start in december to falow ur programs and from 127kg i am now 93 and is great and looking good i step to from beginer to next lvel work out and is great:) thancks sow much helped me chnage my life :)

[coldspider187]

A very helpful video! Thanks Scooby! :D Oh and scooby, how many times should I do pullups in a week? Thanks!

[coldspider187]

A very helpful video! Thanks Scooby! :D

[GamerKidDevin]

vein pokin out of your shoulder thats crazy lol

[TehBOBBL3S]

You look like a bulked up version of KipKay!

Sweet as vids mate keep it up :D

[arcaneeff3ct]

I want to be as ripped and as knowledgeable as you when I am 50 man, you are truly an inspiration. A workout with you would be quite the honor.

[MrForgottensniper]

i do them correctly omg when everyone said i did it to wide yes hurrah. freerunning ftw

[slipknotforeva1]

OH DAMN ! for a year now i didnt realise i did pullups wrongly

[GreenKillerPuppet]

Hello youtube gym heroes.

I have tolerated your holy know-it-all God-like being floating over all comments. You can comment here, bitch here, give everyone advice here, but please, please, leave me alone in the gym. I am sure your 20+ years of power lifting is superior to my personal training certification and such, but please, leave me be.

Thank you.

[dtraisin]

Your videos are a refreshing change from the usualy crap on the internet. Excercise is one of those things that no matter what you search or where you search it all you find is fals information wirtten by people/companies with alterior motives. You just tell us the truth and genuinley want to help and its brilliant that there is someone like you out there to tell a skinny guy like me how to help myself without selling me a $500 2 dvd workout set. Thank you and keep it up.

[Soulmoon92]

Im Peter Zane!!!! :) LOVE YOUR VIDS SCOOBY, world needs more people like you! <3

[bball11ho]

CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL!!!!

[YoungHeavyGRider]

hello sir .your videos are super awesome and helpful .i would like to make a request on how to get rid of sagging skin after loosing massive amount of fats :D thanks sir

[Jaswant14]

Scooby, I think your voice is beautiful and that you are the sexiest beast alive, if I saw you in the streets I would make love to you right there.

P.S

nice hat

[silvermediastudio]

This is why I only do lat pulldowns in front, never behind my head. I feel like it puts too much tension on my shoulders and could lead to injury especially at higher weight.

[OneLove1A]

why'd move ur head 1:52

BTW, u look lyk Qaddafi



[iLoveKurtCobain92]

Is it OK to do chinups after you cant do any more pullups when doing a complete back/biceps workout?

[Beatlicious91]

Could anyone help? When i lower my weights, i keep getting a clicking feeling under my right arm, just by my arm pit. It feels like a nerve is rubbing against my muscle or another nerve and i find it really hard to workout with it. Anyone know what it could be?

[MyTubeVersion3]

@scooby1961 Wadsup Scooby, A muslim buddy of mine is following your workout plans, and he wanna know that, is it ok to exercise while fasting during their fasting month (Ramadan)?

[andrewdavid1995]

@MyTubeVersion3 I think that he should wait until he's back on a regular eating schedule, the nutrients food provides helps the body run at 100%, if he has some way to intake the nutrients and still manage to function without getting dizzy or light headed etc... then i don't see why he couldn't. I would just take it easy until back on a normal routine

[sdfefde]

@andrewdavid1995 your comment is paradoxal their not lonely idiots they just trolling for the lulz

[TonyVictor96]

best of your category on youtube

[Chronograph12]

I have never seen so many thumbs up on a channel before. This just shows that you are awesome Scooby. Keep it up! :)

[Neska99]

ouf wiedersain :D scooby sometimes i miss a short demonstrate of the exercises in the end of the video :) sure u have it somewhere in ur collection. but would be great anyway to show the correct performance in the end.

anyway keep it up

[RS2RemakeFTW]

You sir, have very large pecks. +1

[thestrawberrycrush]

Lol, I could have sworn he was saying 'I'm Peter Zane' at the end of his videos.

[DeathlyPkProductions]

Scooby! Another great video, you remind me of a guy who goes to my gym, nice man ahha. :]

[DXmmuauaua]

What size bra do you use?

[KingFatFish]

I hope u ll do a pull up variation video 4 advanced athlethes sooner or later .

Ahaha- Auf Wiedersehen = Peter Zane :)

[punisher00109]

im Peter Zane and i approve of this message

[Fight040Allah]

LOL Im peter zane. This guy is nice humble and very informative i am subscribing.

[2awesome22]

awesome advice. very laid back guy that tries to share his knowledge to make EVERYONE better. Thanks Scooby, your changing this sport!

[xLuckyLucas95x]

What about barbell rows? How should I position my elbows in this exercise?

[gruntnick]

hi scoobs, new sub here. where do you tan? you are perfectly brown. is is muscle tan, the sun or a sunbed?

[HackMastery007]

When i started out,i was a big fat 14 year old teenager(81 kg) .Now i am 74kg, and i am able to do 8 push up , on my feet.My strenght is about 4-5 times greater than it used to be.I own my change to Scooby1961.T-H-A-N-K YOU

[GrappyFlappy]

@HackMastery007 Keep it up!!!



[tyberzann00]

my father has an other name for the lats...wings ^^

[Slime6six6]

Scooby looks great, and still shows no signs of aging. He looks better than ever.

[ocr17]

You still use biceps when you do pullups, you still use lats when you do chinups... derp scooby

[GrappyFlappy]

@ocr17 Yea but not nearly as much....derp derp

[ocr17]

@GrappyFlappy

no not really, doing a chin up you're using the full ROM of your lats. Also he implies that you use 0 biceps to do pullups.

[ForTheFairies]

your like Bill Nye the science guy, but your Scooby the buff guy.

[TheTomtah]

This guy needs to stop talking about anatomy when clearly he's not competent at it.

[Jaswant14]

Scooby, I think your voice is beautiful and that you are the sexiest beast alive, if I saw you in the streets I would make love to you right there.

P.S

nice hat

[juancmurillo]

@Jaswant14 I really hope you`re chick!!!

[IWantToConvertToYou]

Wrong, Dorian Yates says chinups works more lats, lats are bigger then biceps....thats why so easy. I do only chinups, they pump my lats much more then pullups. Gorilla chinups work lats most.

[erkoelm]

lol look at his head and body lollollool

[LigerDeath546]

This is really an eye opener! Now I'm afraid if I have been doing my pull ups wrongly all these while. So how do you make sure your elbows are back?

[zxcobon2007]

I'm 16 185 and 6'1 No im not fat at all, but whats best for me tredmill, cycle or jump rope

[IamHexxorz]

Scooby you're the man!

[StfuIdiot1]

Most people can only do 3 pullups overarm

[EnslavedGr]

he us getting bigger and bigger damn it no gym no drugs wtf?

[titans091052]

I feel like a 13 year old watching the Beiber. I'm just staring at his body and completely losing track of what he's saying. I really hope I look that great when I'm his age.

[allanfr1961]

hes the same age as my dad 49 turning 50 in a thew weeks

[torontobluered]

excellent vid, learned a couple of new things

[TheAlexandar137]

Omg Scooby i would give all money on the world for you to be my neighbour! Seriously!

[BowFleXuser]

smart man right here

[1lucho89]

Hey Scooby, thanks for all the uploads and all the time and effort you put into your website, great resource for people trying to get into bodybuilding. I noticed there are some who comment on your appearance, or your voice. theyre comments have absolultely NO revelance to the sport bodybuilding. Maybe theyre just mad when you tell them the truth: The key to bodybuilding is intense weight lifting and proper nutrition, no short cuts. Thanks again Scooby, I think I speak for alot of us!!!

[luke08free]

camera is over here dude.

[piprik]

Hello,i got a question.What are diferents betwen pullups :

a)with head behind pullup bar

b)with head in front of pullup bar

Thankyou

[Ms09890]

@piprik When your head goes in front of the bar it is a Shoulder exercise.

and when your head goes behind it is lats.

[subzero1925]

@piprik The pull up where your head is on the opposite side of the bar is bad for your neck and shoulders.

[pisswizzard]

Great vid....something that I work on regularly (i love pullups). Widen your grip too....that makes it harder to get your biceps involved by pulling the elbows forward.

And then do all variations! Wide, normal, narrow, weighted, bodyweight, supported (for high reps!)....nothing is out of bounds (apart from bad form :-))

Cheers for the vid, Scooby.

[illberapping]

Scooby, your videos are so informative and entertaining. hank you!

[dogman5409]

scooby can u get a six pack if you have an old surgury scar on your abdomen

[KEBABZ1234]

scooby , u taught me everything i know about bodybuilding..

Greetings from sweden!!

[AkosM]

You need to start doing videos with a shirt on, cause most of us just can't get our eyes off your body. (no homo)

[Megamonster1994]

:( pullups are too hard!!!

[xNeo2Rememberx]

@Megamonster1994 Well easy never gets you very far now does it?

[suparpowers]

hey Scooby, dont respond to this if you dont want to, but i only wanted to say a few things:

your videos are awesome, full of true info, no lies and not trying to sell crap.

the people commenting your face is ugly, or that your voice is annoying are just lonely idiots trying to get your attention.

please dont repond to them... they just troll

[narutopatel123]

@suparpowers Scooby rocks :D no lies and true info :D 

[scooby1961]

@suparpowers Thanks! If I make a mistake, its an honest one rather than one designed to deceive or make money :) I tell it like it like I see it.

[JoeTodora]

@scooby1961 Hey Scooby! I was wondering if you could share your thoughts about the 5x5 workout. You know, the workout where you do 5 reps each set, with 5 sets. I just wanted to know how affective it is in regards to strength and size gain. Thanks, Scooby!

[killzone474]

@suparpowers who says his ugly?

[arana956]

Hey scooby! I am a really big fan of yours

Just a quick question. When you say that you do high rep workouts for 3 weeks and low rep workouts for one week, what do you mean by high rep workouts? As in, how many reps do you do for low rep workouts and how many reps do you do for high rep workouts?

Cheers

[sstslayer]

@arana956 high reps, could be anywhere from 8-20. Low reps from 1-8.

But I would assume to him, high reps, 12-15, low reps, 4-6, maybe 4-8.

[Nuukify]

Scooby, can you please make a video about Kick Backs and Overhead Tricep Dumbbell Press?

[inbredagogo]

very good info, thanks

[KromTromEggadom]

Just wanted to point out that the reason underhand chinups are easier than wide grip pullups is NOT because they utilise the biceps more (which is such a small muscle anyway) but because it activates more of ur lats. Underhand pulling is in fact superior for developing thickness throughout the lats weather it be vertical or horizontal pulling. This cannot be debated as its simple physiology. However thats not to say that u shouldnt include widegrip overhand movents as they're great for width.

[zalan999]

It is funny because I am Peter Zane... :D

[Skyn3tus]

Oh my god man that answered a lot of questions, and i thought i am pro with pullups, while i was just training biceps all this time

[quangvinh001]

hi scooby. i love your exercises so much especially abs exercises ! I have a question:

According to you, what is a best exercise for low-abs? can you show me the link to that exercise?

[TeslaDRay]

excellent. i have a question though. i';m trying to get as much protein as i can without having to hit the powders or shakes so what i usuallly get is this :one 8oz cup of organic skim milk with can of tuna (32 grams total) then later i WILL have a metrix bar at work (another 32 grams) then i'll have a can of goya beans strained and rinsed(24 grams), and i recently foudn they sell chicken breast in a can at cosco which is 46 grams so question is, is it really all protein or fake meat?

[EDSmokeBudz]

Pediphile alert ..>.>

[jetblackninja1992]

hey scooby1961 how tall are you?

[codyaustinpemberton]

hey scooby i hae been working out for a while and i have one question does mussle confusion work

[TheTrueScource]

hey schooby, ive always wondered, what is your bust measurement? im guessing somewhere in the 40s (inches)

[Pejdumm22]

scoop. do me a favor man. Make a video of you posing, i beg you.

[wade2thehamilton]

I have a couple of questions related to you cardio video, It wouldn't let me post any on there, so I thought I'd try here.

1. Are you saying it doesn't matter what activity you are doing as long as your BPM is in the target range even if you are just watching a scary movie, thats good cardio?

2. Is it necessary to burn more calories then you consume to lose weight... As I consume about 2000 a day and burn about 500 in my workouts.... does this mean I'm gonna get fatter and fatter...

[sirbuz94]

@wade2thehamilton your body needs the 2000 calories to survive everyday for example to keep warm or stay cool,tbh if you're a man 2000 isn't enough for you! you will put on weight if you consume more calories than your body needs on a daily basis

[14Pliskin]

i like him he has some good advices but come on doesn't it look weird to have that much muscles ?

[ZwergpiratXXL]

holy shit, what a musclebeast oO

[AndrewDaniele87]

when i do push ups i have my hands pretty far apart and my lats were killing at first, now i get no pain and have increased the reps. my question is, if i continue doing them this way, am I ONLY giving benefit to that one area and NOT the chest/arms?

[MrAshtonRenae]

your looking a lot more ripped why is that? YOU ARE AWESOME! ROAR.

[ferigigi]

Scooby, you didnt say something about pulling the bar behind your neck while doing pullups, is it good or not, please give me an advice

[codyaustinpemberton]

thanx for the tips peter zane

[Cain2able86]

scooby! I just wanted to thank you for all these videos man, It almost makes me feel bad for not paying you for the lessons heh heh, You are alot of help man, my video trainer! Not allot of people would do what you do, I thank you for that!! thank for demonstrating good form and the very helpful PUMPER STUMPER!! well, thanks allot scooby, look forward to more great vids!! peace.

[dw300]

Scoob, how about a video on dumbbell pullovers. What exactly are they for, and are they necessary? Do they make your ribcage get bigger?!

Thx.

[freshebook]

First off I wanna say that Scooby always gives great tips!!!

Second.. Check out my channel and website to get free workout e-books!

@NoImNot23 Scooby sounds awesome bro.. :D

[StillRedStillArnie]

@StfuIdiot1 so if i could only do 4 pushups that would be fine? It would still be the right workout plan for me?

[StillRedStillArnie]

scooby, after looking at the workouts on your side, i decided to sue the intermediate workout plan. You wrote there that it is for people who can do 3 pushups and 1 pullup. I took a look on the exercises and there you wrote "pushups: number of reps 8-15", same with pullups. Im not very good at english, so could you explain to me what's wrong with that?

[StfuIdiot1]

@StillRedStillArnie that means for example you do 8-15 pushups (however many you want-you can do)

Sets are different

[emcunderground]

27 people have weak lats... haha

[NoImNot23]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OL Dude just wondering is that really your voice??? cuz it sound funny... im just saying no offence

[Bosanac921]

Scooby looks great, and still shows no signs of aging. He looks better than ever.

[adiunctor]

Hey Peter Zane ;) thanks for the great informative videos! Hope the bike ride went well.

[ChunkyLove4]

LOL for the first 30 seconds of the video i wasn't even paying attention i was just checking out ur physique LOOL

[SerbianJudo]

Scooby during these several years I've been your subscriber I've learned so much about bodybuilding, I never missed a single video you made. You use your great sense of humor, your experience and a great amount of knowledge you have to teach people the most important things about Bodybuilding. Keep it up Scoob, you're the greatest.

[psiloshroom]

how is kipping dangerous? good core recruitment and also helps knock out a few extras. i'm guessing you're going to mention stress on the shoulders? not if you do it correctly. there is a difference between kipping and "flailing /kicking" that you mentioned.

[garbagepikr]

I know this is entirely unrelated.. but I want to Increase my vertical, what kind of exercises train your legs for explosiveness?



[loosekarrott]

@garbagepikr squats, deadlifts, eat your oats

[NathanXPablo]

Hey Scooby! I have a question, so when i do chin ups im building a big part of my biceps and at the same time im working my lats?

[loosekarrott]

@NathanXPablo are you even listening? pull ups-> biceps+lats.

[savingmoneyIN]

Very interesting video!

[HollanderT12345]

200.000 + views. Congratz :)

[shaunanyi1990]

hello peter zane! LOL

[DodgeDanger]

Marty Funkhouser....................­

[Juggernaut76]

@DodgeDanger

"Marty Funkhouser"

HAHA. Holy shit was that random and awesome. I still don't see the correlation to this video, but anytime Funkhouser gets some recognition I am all for it.

The Erotic Bakery and the Newlywed Game episodes are great because of him. "Then why did you take the balls home Larry ?"... "I didn't know they were balls".

[leepeewee1]

your videos are great and very helpful.. one day i might be your size ha ha

[scarecrow665]

Are you in a metal band? i think i have seen you play the bass somewhere.Great body by the way,and fantastic advice.Respect.

Hey scooby, im a logn time fan and I found this youtube account called gymidiots,
