  • SCOOBY you rock. i did this and my workout was makin me lose muscle. switched to a low carb high protein diet and its now going AMAzing! keep it up.

  • Scooby, I have a question. I am 13% body fat according to the calculator on your website (woohoo!) I would like to drop to 8-10%. I lift weights 4 days of the week (mon, tue, wed, thurs) and run for 30-35 min 3 days (fri, sat, sun). Should i continue what I am doing to gain muscle and lose fat? What is your opinion on the matter? Thanks a lot for the videos and everything too. I have been a true "scooby fan" for about a year now. Hans is a hoot!

  • HE LOOKS LIKE HE GETS NO PUSSY.....BUT ALL HE DO IS GOT TO THE GYM.....CUZ HE STRESSED,,,CUZ HE CANT GET NO BITCHES

  • @gbreppin At least he knows how to run his keyboard well enough to turn the caps lock off.

  • Your so helpfull and soooo funny. @ 0:51 and 1:01 XD

  • Hey scooby! I have a great news. I did my tests again. The results were great. I am completely healthy. My liver enzyms were just increased cause of too much muscle actvity. So i stopped for 15 days as my mother ( a doctor ) said and i did the tests again. Although i wasnt care for nutriotion for 15 days and lost few kgs I am haooy because i am healthy. Tomorrow i am starting with a gym again. Thanks for support and good luck. :)

  • Used this information today after getting a caliper and I'm 16% bodyfat, which isn't too bad according to some online research. I'd like to drop to about half of that though.

  • thanks for the help i have been trying to lose weight some time your great keep it up with the vids

  • Thank you scooby for the info, now I know how much body fat I got. 22% and totally going to work hard on it. Any tips?

  • Awesome video. I just need to get me a skinfold caliper, thanks for showing how to properly use it.

  • If you stop working out for a week or more what would happen...?Would you lose muscle

  • WHEN to step on the scale? it can make a difference of approx one kilogram depending on the time you do it. after working out? in the morning? after dinner?

  • @dustdust7 best time is in the morning before eating or drinking anything.

  • @scooby1961

    thank you

  • Hey Scooby- I have been using lots of the nutrition tips from your channel in my 6 pack quest with great success. My primary tool for working out is the kettlebell, an item long used by strongmen and bodybuilders of the past and it has been working out very well for me. I was just curious if you have ever used this workout tool and what your experiences were with it.

  • hey scoby would height be a factor in finding body fat from this method since you're using body weight and these skin folds?

  • hahah you scared the shit outta me when you yelled at the beggining.

  • Hey Scooby i have a question for you. About a year ago i was 275 lbs and really out of shape until i moved to iowa and started up MMA. I completely changed my diet to a lot of fiber and protein. Well its been 11 months and i've lost about 85 lbs, but i'm noticeing i have a lot of loose skin, do you think i lost weight to fast? and whats a good way to get rid of loose skin?

  • Did you move? Your house looks different.

  • @RsGhost1 I'm thinking he finally put a barbell through the fish tank, and had to move to another room.

  • @filterguy2525 That's probably it xD

  • Hey scooby, when measuring your leg, should your leg be bent or straight or does it not make a difference?

  • I got 4% bodyfat is that good?

  • @saintsrow9444 4% bodyfat is really low and is getting close to the point where it can cause health problems.

  • @scooby1961 Well I don't have any health issues, I just don't eat ''badfood'' alot and I exercise alot maybe a little too much.

  • I thought I had already subscribed but forgot. Thought you hadn't uploaded anything for a long time. Man, I have so many videos of yours to watch now.

  • @mearsy09 Yes it is, it's about all the levels you could be at, beginning, advanced etc, all the safe way :)

  • @mearsy09 My teen workout is definitely appropriate for you if you are 16.

  • DUDE I LOVE U ...great workout skills u have there ..overall u are awesome

  • Back in days, Arnold was my Ideal bodybuilder how he achieves what he has achieved but now somehow and conveniently this hero became the new hero!

    never had this much education about athletics. actually what i have became is mostly because of him. this man is changing the upcoming generation.

    nicely made video, new room to me and the body is just beyond normal human can build :)

  • Roids Man!!!

  • Hey scooby! Can you tell me the programm with which you made those graphs? I´like to do that too!

  • i know you def smoking something else than bud. thats for sure. lol.

  • Just ordered skin fold caliper for $3.59 on ebay and it's never been used! bargain! :)

  • Lol @ 0:51 & 1:01 & @ Ludwig.

  • im about 6'3, 155 lbs, and i cant seem to gain weight for anything! I have gym membership, but i cant go as much as i need to, since i dont drive yet, so it has to be on my parents time. Any tips you can give me as to what foods to eat, and some home exercises i can do?

  • @razorfist10 you can google healthy foods. what i would recommend is.. "eat alot!" eat at least 6 times a day, break fast -> snack -> lunch -> snack -> dinner, also pre and post workout meal. never skip major meal specially breakfast. always drink at least 1 gallon of water a day. about home exercises, you can do push ups/incline and decline up. that will hit all of your chest muscles. for back it's hard without an equipment. for legs do squat and lunges. shoulders and arms buy a resistance band

  • wow r u 50 u look rlly good for ur age man keep it up

  • Brilliant! Thank you!

  • Really good information! I will check out your website next. :)

  • believe it or not scooby but i always want to lose fat fast even after watching your videos a 1000 times knowing that you are right

  • is a george foreman grill healthy ??

  • @Dexduzdiz I personally wouldn't eat one.

  • good vid as always scooby.i also use the scales and instead of the callipers,i use an old pair of jeans.if the jeans are getting loose in the waist,i'm losing fat and if the jeans are getting tight in the thighs,i'm gaining muscle.what do you think,am i being sensible or just plain old nuts?

  • YEAHHHHH GAINING LOTS OF MUSCLE!!!!

    YEAHHHHH GETTIN RIPPED!!!

  • very helpful, thanks.. =)

  • Auf Wiedersehen  is German for goodbye

  • Love your vids scoob!! I'm only 16 n been lifting for exactly a year and two months n your vids have helped me so much!! I've gained 50 pounds of pure muscle in that time area and I've devoted to all my time after school to lifting, well most of it anyways, some with friends and what not. And about6months ago your vids changed my eating habbits so now I'm healthy and sprat huge I guess you could say. Keep the vids coming, and I'll be watching! Stay strong!

  • how come u always say that german thing at the end. (sorry if its not german)

  • great video again scooby, keep them coming, the info is great!

  • 1st. Do you like the Tanita scales that show how much fat you have?

    2nd. I have followed you for a while now and I know you say can't gain muscle and lose fat at the same time and I understand you can't get huge muscle while losing a ton of fat - but is it possible to be gaining at all while losing fat? Eating enough protein to keep muscle but working out enough to lose fat? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

  • If you really want to know % body fat, cut your body, grind it all and put all your body parts in a centrifuge and filter/collect adipose. Then take that adipose mass and divide by total body mass and multiply by 100. All other methods are needless. If you get 10% so what there is so much uncertainty with that number it is not even funny :)

  • Of course these are approximate values but you see the point. Since you are trying to educate people I think it is important to educate ppl that % fat is not accurate and should not be used. OF course it is a way to sell products and exercise programs to non-scientists. The most important thing is change in behavior and lifestyle. But people still insist on knowing % fat. Kinda Dumb..

  • On top of that because the % fat calculators look at 1 Standard Deviation (68.66%). If your % body fat is 15% that actually means that it is 68.66% probability that your body fat will be btwn 13-18%. That doesn't seem so accurate does it. If you move to 2SD and 95% probability then getting 15% on % fat calculator is like saying 95% probable that your body fat is btwn 10-20% body fat

  • slimguide is cheapest but not the "most accurate". Harpenden is the most accurate but at the price of $200 you get to go into decimal digits that no human will ever need. You should also mention that the skinfold measurements vary depending on the measurer and that there are so many different equations that you should find one specific to age, sex, etc... regardless no equation is accurate enough to accurately assess what your true % body fat is.

  • you didn't talk about losing muscle , do you have a video about that please? :)

  • @wreckage06 you stood up for scooby from that faget calling him names scooby seems like a cool dude

  • Comment removed

  • thx for the useful information

  • good vedio..

  • Auf Wiedersehen Meister ;)

  • Great vids Scoob but I dont know why you dog Creatine. It reall saved me. I was 5'11" 143 lb... very scrawny. I've put on about 20 lbs over the summer and hover around a cut 165 now with negligble fat. My self confidence is through the roof now and I'm still making gains. I was killing myself before using creatine and looked like a skeleton... Creatine does work for some and is VERY cheap. But your videos are incredible and I love the Mass Gains DVDs. Keep up the great work Scoob.

  • U look more ripped on this vid.... nice going scoob.

  • thanks for the info, very user friendly!

  • Gotta agree - funny video, and on a really important and well-addressed issue of getting fit. Thank you Scooby, you are a blessing. (I can't say I'm at the stage where I am ready to measure all of that, but with a few lifestyle changes I hope to get there soon.)

  • Scooby, I'm alittle confused about something, ab excersises dont lose fat, so your telling me that running, lifting weights, etc. dosent lose fat at all? how do you lose fat?

  • FAKE AND GAY!

  • Huh! Gay old man! I do so much bad stuff and I'm still hot! I eat yolks, binge drink 17 times a month, and eat shitty fat foods!

  • @SquashBombs Glad you have life all figured out!

  • @SquashBombs wow dude your a retard

  • Hey Scooby, this is a great video! Thanks again! BUT, what about scales at already track this information? I have a TANITA scale which already measures my body fat and weight. Are these scales not as accurate as your method? Please comment. Thanks!

  • Hey Scooby, this is a great video! Thanks again! BUT, what about scales at already track this information? I have a TANITA scale which already measures my body fat and weight. Are these scales not as accurate as your method?  Please comment. Thanks!

  • @milkphish2 skinfold caliper is the most accurate, other than tank immersion that costs hundreds per measurment.

  • what did u say at the end? auf wedersein?

    

  • @travwg33 yes, thats what he said.

  • haha awesome video scooby. By far, the funniest one I have seen from you. The "yeah gaining lots of muscle" and "yeah getting ripped" always crack me up. At the same time, an excellent video in terms of information. This is precisely what i was looking for, a way to measure my fat/muscle ratio weekly. So thanks, big thumbs up from this subscriber.

  • @Merforga111 The funniest parts are never planned :)

  • @scooby1961 Hey Scooby how do you get wider arms and body?

  • hey scooby i was wondering about your intake on creatine

  • @x3t4l he dunt take creatine

  • @mlpqaz1 i know he doesnt take it i was wondering what he thinks of it saftey / effect (both negative positive) wise

  • Scooby, can you lose fat and gain muscle at the same time?

  • For even more accurate body fat reading with the skinfold caliper include 2 more locations ( skinfold 1 inch from inferior of your shoulder blade and at the peak of your triceps)...more locations...more accuracy

  • What can I say... the guy is just GREAT ! Thank you !

  • Hey scooby can you show us a pic of you before you started body building

  • Thanks for all the tips, they really help me a lot, and especially your website, very informative! THANKS AGAIN Scooby!

  • You don't look 50 at all.

    I hope someday I will get to 50 looking as good as you do.

  • What do you think of my diet, scooby?

    Meal 1: Oats and whey in milk.

    Meal 2: Chicken and rice and steamed vegetables.

    Meal 3: Tin of tuna fish and some new potatoes.

    Meal 4: Protein shake in milk. (No oats).

    Meal 5: Chicken and rice and steamed vegetables.

    Meal 6: Tina of tuna in olive oil, with an apple.

    Thank's.

  • Seriously scooby, you are awesome.

  • how in the world can a guy get rid of male boobs? LOL...help please. it's kind of embarrassing.

  • @zivaray Man boobs are covered in detail on my website, please check it out, its in the "Medical Problems" section.

  • Hi sir, I wanted to ask if you could make a video that talks about how many days per week to work out, how many sets and repetitions of each exercise to do, and should we do full-body exercises each time or should we exercise a specific part of our body each time, etc, and maybe to relate these information to our goal, for example if we want to gain weight we should do this, if we want to lose weight we should do that, etc.

    Thanks and also thanks for the videos you upload.

  • @AllphrncMetactzn For the general info you seek, please see my website. Click on the "Workout Plans" section.

  • hey scooby

    can you please make a video telling how to correct Lordosis??

    I have Lordosis but I don't know how to correct it.

    Thanks a lot.

  • @54epn to treat lordosis you should probably see an orthopaedic if it's serious, if it's not then just follow the common orthopoedic exercises- if you make some web research you can find such exercises. Also try to find out what has caused the lordosis in the first place as it may be something you should treat, for example osteoporosis.

  • @54epn and of course also try to follow all the orthopoedic guides eg for correct posture.

  • @54epn First, you need to see a doctor. Exercise and physical therapy cant fix everything and lordosis is one of those things. Ask your doctor for a prescription for physical therapy.

  • Scooby, important question:

    Pretty much every other source about measuring your body fat I've read so far says you have to take a vertical skinfold next to your belly button. You take a horizontal skinfold.

    When I compare them I think it makes quite a difference.

  • Do late nights and all nighters effect muscle gain?

  • do you flex when you do this?

  • Your Amazing Scooby. How you just make these videos taking your time for us. And for FREE as well as your website.

  • Scooby,
