Hey Scooby...sorry one more question not really related to this video but ummm after a workout , how many grams of protein should my post workout shake include??? and after that shake how much after should i eat my dinner?? thankss....
protein requirements for a BBer? A good starting point is 1g/protein per pound of bodyweight per day - that includes all forms of protein, not just meats. Grains, beans, and even veggys have substantial amounts of protein.
Hey scooby once again thanks for the response...What I wanted to know though was the protein shake that I take right after I workout ( which I believe most ppl do) how much protein should that ocntain...so in that one shaking consumed right after the workout how much protein should be in there? mine is currently 50 gram for one scoop and i drink one scoop right after i workout...is that to much? to little?
What do you think scooby about not using a bench for your head with head support can you still achieve the same good pump and results for your rear deltiod head with pausing at the top (time of contraction)is there a significant differencial? also on a shoulder day how many excersizes and sets of each excersize would you recommend and for what getting stronger or get leaner?How about doing both at the same time is that possible?Is this a starting excersize or a finisher should you do another??
I enjoy these videos. But as far as the nutrition aspect of your website I am not so sure about. First of all, from my experience it is very hard to lose fat and gain muscle. It simply does not work. You are either at a calorie excess or deficit.
You say eating 6 meals a day is optimal. But there is plenty of research that suggests it does nothing for metabolism and that 3 meals is just as good. In addition one may benefit more from carbohydrate cycling and intermittent fasting.
I was wondering what your thoughts on exercise / fitness balls are since there don't seem to be any videos on using them as tools. I recently bought one of those 75 cm balls and I'm doing some exercises I've found online. Do you recommend these things?
Lots of people have swear by ball training, I believe its excellent for working all those small (but important) stabilizing muscles. In a few years when I've done all my basic videos, I can work on ball exercises :)
Hey scooby!!! Thanks for the knowledge I find your videos helpful and I enjoy showing off at the gym with new workouts that no one at the gym ever thought of...plus hans is super cool! Keep posting man!
Hey, I've been watching your videos for a while, and I have a quick question -
I regularly use a speed bag for cardio and to tone my arms. It helps keep my hand-eye coordination up to par and also - more importantly - because it's fun.
So how do you feel about them? Are they as good as I think they are, or is there a similar workout that I can be doing that is better?
thanks a lot scooby...I appreciate the quick response...also is it true that overtraining can cause you to lose muscle or does just prevent from making gains...(can it really lead to loss?? )
thanks for showing this, i've been doing reverse flys for upper back, but im doing it by shrugs... glad i've seen this finally so i know i did it wrong just because i wanted to do a modified version from a gym machine.
i dont know if its a myth but people say that exercising too much will actually make you lose muscle. I'm planning on working out during every weekday and resting on the weekends. Will this be an effective plan or am i going to see my muscle mass decreasing instead of gaining
Overtraining may not make you lose muscle but it sure can keep you from gaining muscle and can lead to joint injuries. The line between training and overtraining is different for different people (age, genetics, nutrition, sleep), what is a good workout plan for you might be overtraining for your friends.
What's hilarious is that the movements you do to demonstrate bad form are pretty much the staple at nearly every gym I've belonged to. Yes, the bench boys always walk around with expanded lat syndrome. However, most of them never train their back so they don't have lats. I think they have to practice in the mirror to get that strut down.
Another fantastic video Scooby. Especially the advice about balancing your exercises at the beginning. How often would you recommend doing the reverse fly?
With respect to Hans - I always like to hear from him but he might turn off some people from your great advice. I would think that those people who have been watching you for a while don't have a problem with him though.
That said the demos of good/bad form are a fantastic idea - keep up the great work mate!
It takes years and years to make visible gains in the size of your arms. Just focus on getting a little stronger every month and the size will follow.
"whole muscle confusion" sounds like a fancing marketing gimmick to me. Having said that, many people are happy with P90x and have gotten good results from it. Any program that makes exercising fun enough that you do it daily is a very good program, I dont care if its Richard Simmons or P90x.
With your new Shoulder Reverse fly video, I was wondering if with my back injury, if you thought that was ok to do - The doctor said things such as bench press where no weight is put on the spine (mainly lower back) is ok ... also I waited 3 or so weeks to get to the doctor and my workout routine has become somewhat lazy because Im not sure of much I can do (do you have any recomendations as far as other lifts I can do to keep in shape?)
Definitely dont do these the way I illustrate here if you are having back issues. If you can comfortable lay on your stomach then you could do the alternative way I describe which is to lay face down on a tall bench and do the rev flys in this position.
Hey Scooby, ur vids are awesome man. Whenever I need workout advive I just go through ur vids. I have a question though. My shoulders are pretty big and strong, BUTTT there just big, they are not ripped or lean and have no seperation. I know you said previously that if you dont have abs you wont have ripped shoulders, but i seen many guys at the gym that have fat on them but still have nice looking arms and shoulders.. Any help is appreciated by any 1. Thankss.
People store their fat in different places depending on their genetics. The lucky ones store it evenly all over. Some store it in the gut (beer belly style), some in the butt, some in the legs, and some on the chest. This explains why some people who are not lean still can have definition in their shoulders, just genetics.
Thanks for this video in regards to rear delts and upper back training. As this is a weak area for me. I have done the exercises you show and for the most part my form is good but I will try to only go parallel and pause at the top. Perhaps my genetics for rear delts just arent good. Theres no separation at all. I look exactly like the bench press people you talk about. huge front delts that are pulled forward. its weird because i dont bench more then once a week.
Don't get me wrong, I wish there were other exercises to work the rear deltoids, because after doing this exercise for a while, say a couple of months, this exercise tends to get boring.
nice exercise, just started to do it... but i'm really really low with the weights until now... cant do it with 5 kilograms, started with 2.5 kilogramms... hope i'll get better the next weeks =)
yeah thanks for the advice =) fortunately i dont see that as a competition, so i can stand to do it with lower weights at first... mostly i rely on push-ups and sit-ups, so the dumbbell exercises only take a small part of my training, think that's better for my health =)
i used to do these but now i dont as i do dumbbell rowing which is mainly for back (as u know). however i heard those do the rear delts as well. can this be a subsitute exercise?
on an unrelated topic can u get your elbows to touch each other? (question to scooby as well as everyone)
I think the information you deliver is priceless!! The Gnome just seemed out of place. But you are performing an awesome service regardless, and you are an example for all of us Natural Bodybuilders!!
Ehs , scooby The squeezing chest Exercises? you know the pushup and isometric flys ? . the that means that when you do down you don't squeeze when you go up you squeeze? and by squeezing is the meaning while doing the pushup try to pull your hands together .
In Amsterdam they take a liberal approach to safe recreational drugs; however, I doubt that this extends to anabolics. I doubt they are legal anywhere in the EU.
You somehow seem to tell me exactly what I want to know, and thanks for giving up your time for everyone else's benefit.
Keep at it with the 'how not to do it' sections. However you decide to present them (with or without Hans, high pitched or otherwise), they are invaluable.
That is one of those videos that my outside voice has to say "how tragic, the poor fish" meanwhile my inner voice is rolling on the floor laughing :) By the way,my tank is plastic - my angelfish are safe :)
Yes, heavy rows will work out your posterior delts as well.
But I have one question to you (to the one I reply this message). Are your shoulders growing well? If not, try to decrease your amount of exercises. My delts do not respond to a overkill of exercises. In my opionion you should use one compound exercise such as an overhead press, then an exercise which works out your lateral delts and finally one exercise which works out your posterior delts (like the reverse flyes do). Good luck!
hey scooby when i do pushups and other exercises i get a shock sent through my right elbow, it doesn't hurt thought. do you think its ok to keep working it? Also can alternate pullups be used to build up lats to be able to do a regular pullup?
A shock going thru your elbow? Doesnt sound good, but you say it doesnt hurt. I would try varying the distance between your hands and see if you can make it stop. You can also try pointing your hands different directions. You could also just do partial pushups. The elbow probably snaps in the same place each time, just do a partial pushup and stop before the snapping position. You could do low partials and high partials, avoiding the snap position.
I'm new subscriber and i really enjoy your vids. I'm just starting to workout again and these vidz are helping me get a routine together again. Thanks.
Scooby1961, great video on the importance of proper technique and tempo. It was educational and entertaining at the same time. Specially at the 4:18 time, where you mimic the common mistake of people lifting too heavy weights. lol, lol
scooby, you are my hero. you look like you are 25 and i think your double of that, lol. do you recomend machines when doing shoulders? or any muscle for that matter? i find it easier because im 14 and i can bench 250 using a cybex bench press but i know i could probably never do that using freeweights.
lol the benchpressers i did that for the first 2 years of training never really bothered doing these and it gave me some serious joint problems. the fronts looked huge compared to the back ive sorted it out now after another 2 years of hard work i wont make that mistake again!!
yea thats so true i hate it when people are like yea i can bench 250 and shiz but thats all they do their faviourite shit lmfao. You gotta change up your routine. Nice vid scoob.
if you want big strong and healthy shoulders, I suggest you do Over head Presses. Builds more strength and size then doing 10 different small shoulder exercises, and it works out all heads of the shoulder. check it out people.
I've tried this exercise but when I do, it's uncomfortable for my shoulders. I'll need to try the pec dec, are there any other ways to work the back of the shoulders like this besides the way you mentioned?
By the way, it looks like that fish tank is always in mortal danger.
Try differing hand positions and see if it is any better for your shoulders, if that fails, just use lighter and lighter weights till it doesnt hurt anymore.
I'm totally against all supplements, except protein powder which I consider a food and not a supplement. Please check out my website under Nutrition>Supplements to see why.
My left shoulder is actually pretty damaged from doing to much military press and benchpress. my chest doesn't look like what you say, but i was a real bench hog in my weight lifting days. when i turned 17 i could press 315 and it built my ego like crazy.. but soon i would find out when i would try to boost my shoulder strength, i actually damaged it so bad i'm practically useless in the upper body area now. I just turned 18 and its been about 8 months since i've bench pressed. I miss it. A lot.
Hey theuppercut, sorry about your shoulder but thanks for sharing. Hopefully someone will read your post and be able to avoid your fate. BTW, benching 315 at age 17 is amazing! Too bad you had to pay a price. Dont give up on your shoulder. You are young, see a surgeon, it might be worth getting it fixed.
If you are 100% sure you are keeping your torso motionless, you really dont need anything. Touching your head against something is just insurance that you are not moving.
About those side raises you talked about in your other video (it's closed for comments), why bending your arms? With straight arms the leverage would make it more difficult (remember you said that flies should be done with straight arms?)
In the side raises, I keep my elbows at 90 degrees because its easier on my elbow tendinitis. If I were to do side raises straight armed, I would use about 1/2 the weight.
You shouldnt be getting any neck pain, thats not good. Are you tensing your traps or neck while lifting? Are you holding your breath? Are you clenching your teeth. Try using baby weights for your first set and focus on keeping traps, neck, and face totally relaxed. If your neck still hurts, I would see a doctor and figure out whats wrong.
scooby,you better watch out, if you accidentaly release those weights when you are lifting them "like a retard" you might break the glass of that fish tanks and those are some nice angel fish
Why do you wear that silly hat all the time ? I mean, no shirt, but you do wear socks and a hat ?

Good luck!

hey scooby when i do pushups and other exercises i get a shock sent through my right elbow, it doesn't hurt thought. do you think its ok to keep working it? Also can alternate pullups be used to build up lats to be able to do a regular pullup?
thx
dsboy13 3 years ago
A shock going thru your elbow? Doesnt sound good, but you say it doesnt hurt. I would try varying the distance between your hands and see if you can make it stop. You can also try pointing your hands different directions. You could also just do partial pushups. The elbow probably snaps in the same place each time, just do a partial pushup and stop before the snapping position. You could do low partials and high partials, avoiding the snap position.

Scooby1961, great video on the importance of proper technique and tempo. It was educational and entertaining at the same time. Specially at the 4:18 time, where you mimic the common mistake of people lifting too heavy weights. lol, lol

scooby, you are my hero. you look like you are 25 and i think your double of that, lol. do you recomend machines when doing shoulders? or any muscle for that matter? i find it easier because im 14 and i can bench 250 using a cybex bench press but i know i could probably never do that using freeweights.

That looks good. Seems like worth trying. I get my shoulders pulled in a bit kuz I do a lot of pushups.
I do chinups, exept with the bar behind my head not infront of my chin... Do you think that's good to help my posture?

if you want big strong and healthy shoulders, I suggest you do Over head Presses. Builds more strength and size then doing 10 different small shoulder exercises, and it works out all heads of the shoulder. check it out people.
DaBoulLiv215 3 years ago
The whole point of this video was to explain why the little muscles are just as important as the big ones, especially for the health of your joints.
scooby1961 3 years ago
I've tried this exercise but when I do, it's uncomfortable for my shoulders. I'll need to try the pec dec, are there any other ways to work the back of the shoulders like this besides the way you mentioned?
By the way, it looks like that fish tank is always in mortal danger.
PremusRed 3 years ago
Try differing hand positions and see if it is any better for your shoulders, if that fails, just use lighter and lighter weights till it doesnt hurt anymore.

to keep a good balance on the body with just 2fairly strong dumbells are bicep/tricep curls,dumbell flys enough??
crazycrootz 3 years ago
No, just doing bicep curls and dumbbell flys is not enough to keep your body healthy and in balance.
scooby1961 3 years ago
My left shoulder is actually pretty damaged from doing to much military press and benchpress. my chest doesn't look like what you say, but i was a real bench hog in my weight lifting days. when i turned 17 i could press 315 and it built my ego like crazy.. but soon i would find out when i would try to boost my shoulder strength, i actually damaged it so bad i'm practically useless in the upper body area now. I just turned 18 and its been about 8 months since i've bench pressed. I miss it. A lot.
theuppercut 3 years ago
Hey theuppercut, sorry about your shoulder but thanks for sharing. Hopefully someone will read your post and be able to avoid your fate. BTW, benching 315 at age 17 is amazing! Too bad you had to pay a price. Dont give up on your shoulder. You are young, see a surgeon, it might be worth getting it fixed.
scooby1961 3 years ago
One last thing, thank you for your videos Scooby!!!

One question, if I don't have a bench like that is it possible to use the wall and put a pillow as a cushion??
Oh, and how do you speak German that well?
Mortoscano 3 years ago
If you are 100% sure you are keeping your torso motionless, you really dont need anything. Touching your head against something is just insurance that you are not moving.

About those side raises you talked about in your other video (it's closed for comments), why bending your arms? With straight arms the leverage would make it more difficult (remember you said that flies should be done with straight arms?)
jgcastor 3 years ago
In the side raises, I keep my elbows at 90 degrees because its easier on my elbow tendinitis. If I were to do side raises straight armed, I would use about 1/2 the weight.

yo scooby i get a lot of neck pain when doing things such as dumbell shrugs and these ones, can you suggest anything
jimmerding 3 years ago
You shouldnt be getting any neck pain, thats not good. Are you tensing your traps or neck while lifting? Are you holding your breath? Are you clenching your teeth. Try using baby weights for your first set and focus on keeping traps, neck, and face totally relaxed. If your neck still hurts, I would see a doctor and figure out whats wrong.
