[Ketsado]

[SchmidtyXX]

Don't you think the V shape has alot to do with Genetics....

[tylertyler82]

How do you know if you have wide hips??

[dmbass313]

@tylertyler82 if your asking that question, you dont

[MMBNM]

He said losing fat is faster? Huh I guess I might have a chance then ._.

[Benno828282]

Scooby's got child rearing hips.

[agentpissant42]

Is it just me or did Scooby get buffer with every edit on this video?

[CawkInMouf]

Auf Wiedersehen! =)

[AceCorona]

[crazychikn]

[DeviciousRO]

I have a V taper thanks to pullups. Thanks alot Scooby! I would of never have made a pullup bar in my house if it wasn't for your videos that convinced me how great of an exercise pullups are :D

[MrAllrightyThen]

Loving the stars wars theme at the end scoob :-D

[TheNapaljenik]

pls accept my friend request. . .i have 1 question and need help. . .

[619croco]

@Calumrockyoursocks Woww what a fag its called fuckin around someone takes shit to the but anyways i aint even talkin to you so stfu.!

[Catrapazau]

REALLY thank you for chairing your noladg with us. by your teaching, at the age off 33, I have started gaining muscle and loose weight! and I've used the gim and "personal blabbers" to teach me you TO SPEND MY MONEY

greetings from Portugal

[JuanMiro507]

Do you use steroids ScOobY? you really massive my friend... i wanna get like dat someday...  and HOW much you eat to get that big

[Calumrockyoursocks]

@JuanMiro507 no he doesnt use roids

[JuanMiro507]

@Calumrockyoursocks are you his girlfriend?... i remember saying: " Do you use steroids Scooby" not... hey Calumrockyoursocks you are so cool that i wanna ask you about Scooby's muscle building strategies. Lol . Enough trollin for today :)

[Calumrockyoursocks]

@JuanMiro507 Have you got fucking down syndrome or something? every knows he doesnt take steroids I was just pointing out the obvious but your clearly a fucking bell end.

[JuanMiro507]

@Calumrockyoursocks umadbro? lol.. and who is "every knows"....lol.... definetely.. u must be his gay girlfriend... I'm down with Scooby, he is a cool dude.. and if he has or not used steroids, its fine.. steroids are cool too.. but you are just too gay..and im getting dizzy because of the gayness in your comments..

[gwizz77]

I know pull ups are the best exercise to develop wide lats, I also think that rowing type exercises for lats for thickness or X exercise thickening your muscles is another stupid myth. IMO theres no such thing as thinning or thickening your muscles.

[m2r5a6]

thank's for all video scooby,it's realy helpfull:)greeting's from Romania:)

[jayjjoel]

scooby is a genious when it comes to getting in shape; its insane how good shape he is in for his age, these videos are by far the most helpful free videos on youtube on how to get into good shape without suppliments, thanks man!!

[619croco]

Haha ur fat you have man tittys this foo is all wrinkled

[Calumrockyoursocks]

@619croco idiot

[kidspwnwidrange]

Losing body fat is hard as fuck, but everybody says do it. Last year I was 20% Body Fat, This year I'm 14%...

[BMxJone]

@Reillyboy100 it is never too early to start bodybuilding. But as Scooby's stated before in one of his other videos, getting a 6 pack is unnecessary and also unhealthy for many people (paraphrased - I will try to find the video where he talks about this for you)

[50oas]

lol i just wear really small jeans and it forces my waist to scale

[AbsoluteMonarchist]

So my lats are right there, but where are my shoulders?

[gauiis]

dropping body weight down to 6% or 8% ... fast and easy! lol :)

[SABAustick]

Scooby Please answer. You know your dumbbell set? how much does each DB go up to in weight and were can i get it. Thank You

[xXxENTExXx]

8% Bodyfat? looks more like -200% Body fat +200%Muscle

[360cbh]

Scooby can you make a video about 5x5? Your input is valued.

[korosuso1]

Thank u Scooby all your videos are excellent and there is so much information for a diverse demographic in differing levels of their fitness.

Scooby a question if I may, I have a long history of shoulder trouble and have at one time or another dislocated both shoulders. I do rehab exercises especially on my rotator cuff. It's difficult to do pullups so I do machine lat pulldowns. I understand that u r not a med. prac but any advice to build a V back with injury in mind would b much appreciated

[vNitroz]

sixpackshortcuts copied scoobys video idea what a speng!

[saanoj29]

scooby please show your back sometime, not only front, so I can actually see your back

[chainedhearts1]

just wanted to say that ive been doing your exercises and dieting, and ive lost 40 pounds and gained a lot of tone in one month. thanks a ton scooby, youre a godsend

[Voddgreen]

3:08 "..You gotta do THREE things" *shows Four fingers* xD. Your videos are great btw.

[americanfantacy]

scooby looks like gilligan in this video hay gilligan where is captain .................lol

[AntiRellik]

@scooby1961 I'm also curious if you suffer any kind of lumbar scoliosis like @MrC0SA said. I have lumbar-scoliosis as well which is really annoying even when doing some arm workouts. Would you be kind enough to make a video for us who suffer from scoliosis? We would really appreciate it!

[facelessFungus]

Scooby ur lookin huge man, been following you for a few years

[reillyboy100]

hey scooby, im 15 years old am i too young to be concerned about getting a six pack or shud i wait until i stop growing?

[Qwufi]

ty great vids :)

[LeftAstray]

scooby ive already asked this but didnt get a reply, for military press, would it be ok to rest your back on the back of the seat if the seat was at a 90 degree angle and allowed your thighs to be perpendicular to your torso while seated?

[thisissparta091]

loving these vids scooby

[FaustSatans]

make a pec bouncing video no homo

[MrC0SA]

Scooby, I'm curious, do you suffer any kind of lumbar-scoliosis? Because I've noticed that your ribs are in different "possition", just like mine, but I suffer of lumbar scoliosis... Thanks!

[Str1keRS1R]

An interesting thing I found out the other day is that us humans have narrow waists thanks to evolution. The reason being is to carry more things over longer distances.

[Jaswant14]

Scooby how much inches are your arms???

[billy1235ful]

Do a flexing video

[tomimania001]

lol 3:07 he held up 4 fingers

[horriblepain]

@tomimania001 The fourth, unmentioned thing is dedication. he can't teach that, only inspire it :P

[tomimania001]

lol 3:03 - 3:06, see the transition lol scooby is on the beach in the morning!

[RioXavier]

Hey Scooby, I need a video on calves, mine are too skinny, I can't wear shorts :(

[gummiandr]

@RioXavier Do calf raises and short sprints, if you don't weigh much than try calf raises with added weight :D

[r2p0w7]

im skinny :(

[Ishlam]

Scooby, when did you start bodybuilding? and what age did u get "big" like noticeably different to other guys?

[36393837987]

@Ishlam slow progress, probably took him a good 5+years. most people add 5-10 pounds of muscle a year of steady bodybuilding.

[MasterBoy392]

this is awesome, thanks for sharing scooby !!!

anyone disliking this video is jealous of scooby's body !

[Tube4fans]

@ the end - Aufwiedersehen :D

[raivisz93]

Are you German?

[Guitarman092004]

@raivisz93 : No, he isn't german. His "Auf Wiedersehen" got a very strong english accent.

But it's nice when he say that. I'm german and I think it sounds nice :-)

[raivisz93]

@Guitarman092004 Well, yea, but he seems to have a little German accent when he speaks English. Mostly with the latter "R"

[Guitarman092004]

@raivisz93 hm, could be... but his german sounds less german but more american style... maybe he got a couple of german lessons..... dunno.... maybe Scooby himself can answer this question.... maybe he got german roots....?????

[raivisz93]

@Guitarman092004 you may never know. ;D

[showtimeoooo]

this is the video i need!

thank you

[xAxBeVaNxBx]

So Shoulders/Lats/Traps/smallwais­t/chest  Got it.

[FILTHYJONAS]

Scooby! I love the backgrounds... good atmosphere

[txteabagger]

how can i look like ravishing rick rude?

[23viktor23]

i wished the U.S. government would listen as good to Scooby as we proud fans do.

[DaKineUpdate]

What's up Scooby, my question to you (and you may already have a video that I was ignorant of) is if you do a session of stretching before and after exercises? If so, what are some good stretches that you use to warm up before lifting?

[Czaendermajer]

scooby is the man!

[Furball2k]

30 people thought they could get instant V Taper simply by watching this video ;-)

[TheBigdaddygroove]

Great vid! Gotta do another one by the beach! Very awesome! Thanks for all you do Scoob!

[XXXStraightEdgerXXX]

Scooby how big are your arms?They look skinny compared to your torso.

[NoLifeTehRs]

I like how I'm watching this drinking soda and eating wendys, smh.

[aerhcm2]

haha u put up 4 fingers when u said 3 things. good video tho

[babsnanab]

GREAT JOB!

[babsnanab]

[thequitepride]

[pauloutten]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[ClaudeGabel]

[Shabrazi]

Your voice is changed a little.



[1971zanman]

like this comment if you want scooby to run for president!

[cnasterodon]

@scooby1961

Great videos. I have one question/ suggestion: watching your videos, You often mention body proportions, but from watching you i get the impression that your neck is realy long and thin, chicken-like (No offense please!) compared to your body. From that is my question, is there any specific exercises to make neck thicker, grow some muscle there? Do You do any specific exercises for neck muscles? I, my self have long neck, so just wondering...

P.S. pardon my english :)

[cornerstone111]

This guy needs a bra!

[ebrahimturner]

Scooby is the Mr Miyagi of body building

[scooby1961]

@ebrahimturner Thanks!! I would be honored to be called Mr Miyagi, aka Keisuke Miyagi!

[fitnessmaster]

@scooby1961 Dear Collegue, tell me about the REAL shoulder WIDTH enlargement - an expansion of the collarbones! I'd be glad to listen.

[ASHbladez]

@scooby1961 We make sacred pact. I promise teach karate to you, you promise learn. I say, you do, no questions.

[MuscleAddict4Life]

@itsKevin7 do WIDE pull ups.

do 7 or 8 reps normal speed then do 5more goin up as fast yuh can then goin down real slow. That's 1set. that'll get yer lats wide and make yer veins show too which kinda looks cool lol

[TheBadTVShow]

scooby, why do you wear hats?

[AmericarefulHD]

Scooby - How much percent of body fat do you have? Thanks.

[scooby1961]

@AmericarefulHD My bodyfat is 8%, just measured it yesterday when I filmed a video on how to use skinfold calipers.

[AmericarefulHD]

@scooby1961 You're also 50 years old man. And you're all natural. Props.

[grand433]

[itsKevin7]

When im working out my back i know that im doing all my exercises with good form and i can even feel the pump but when i wake up the next day i barely feel the soreness. WHY IS THAT?????the exercises that i do are, lat pull downs with the machine, T-bar row, barbell row, one hand DB row and dead lifts and my rep range is from 8-10 and 4-6 heavy. I REALLY WANT TO THICKEN MY BACK!!!HELP PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

[crazykorean2268]

@itsKevin7 not an expert, but try chin-ups, go up at regular speed, and slow negatives

[lexyota]

[replayiig]

[armanrainy]

Hi everyone. I am not a native English speaker. Can some one tell me how much fat percent Scooby mentions at 1:12 or 3:14.

Thank you.

[AllahuAlam]

@armanrainy 6% to 8% Body fat.

[AllahuAlam]

@armanrainy :6% to 8% Body fat.

[armanrainy]

@AllahuAlam : Thank you very much!

[jimjnr761]

hey scooby, when are the fat loss and muscle gain winners for this year being announced.

[theman5r4]

thanks scooby! very informative.

[balcarales]

One thing Scooby forgot to mention this time:

HOW IMPORTANT BODY POSTURE IS to look the way you want.

The way we stand determines greatly how broad our shoulders look.

He explains this in detail in one of his older posts, just forgot to list it here.

Anyway - thanks for posting this, it is great as always....

Too bad Scooby does not reply on my e-mails, since I still have some questions I wanted to ask him : (

[RebirthWoWGuild]

Damn 6-8% Damnnnn lower than I thought

[stubben24]

Scooby whats your height and weight?

[poweruser213]

@stubben24 he answered me (that was wonderful :D ) he is about 6"3 dunno about weight

[cracka1from1dahood]

SCOOBY IS THE BEST! Thanks to his workout and healthy tips, i've changed my lifestyle and I am actually pretty strong! Keep making videos Scooby, your awsome! :D

[hockeyhotdog11]

Is it just me or does Scooby look better and better every video?

[bardofoc]

Nice tan, Scooby. You sure are looking lean these days. Keep up the good work!

[gruntnick]

scoobs, you are my very favorite youtube star! good luck to you....you are incredible!

[iD360B]

What if u have wide hips and no obliques and a bottle shaped body....FML

[panjabanjica91]

Ok!! Serious qustion now! It's 2:00 AM and i feel a bit hungry. What should i do? Eat something with low cal. or just go to sleep?

[SubZeroMG4u]

@panjabanjica91 i train 3 times a week ...diferent types of muscles ofc .. the only diference between me and "pro" bodybuilder is that i dont eat 20 freaking meals / day .. i eat about 2 times..when i'm hungry and the muscles look preety nice though if u workout..

[ManofManyPasswords]

"My goal is to provide information so that the poorest teen can get the information they need to build a great physique." - Scooby

What a great man. I admire you dude.

[AIversonI]

Isn't it also true to avoid doing weights on your obliques as they respond really well to weights?

[WrittenInMyFace]

Thank you so damn much, I'm REALLY skinny and I have no idea how much % bodyfat I have but it can't be even close to much. By saying it takes like 2 years to even see a difference in your ''V'' Taper inspired me. I've been working out for 1 and a half year now and I really thought I was doing something because I still haven't seen much difference... but you made me realize I shouldn't give up thanks a lot man!

[thehaldirwaldir]

Hey, do you know some nice exercises for lower back which you can do at home? I couldn't find any on your website Peter Zane, danke! :)

[TheBurgy91]

hey scooby...i've got a question... i train 3 times a week and i eat a lot but i don't see results... what should i do?? i'm 20 years old but i was skinny since a was born...

BTW i love your videos you give great advices

[Zh4crazy]

Really good timing on this video for me, I was just thinking I need to work on that more this morning. Thanks for the great video!

[cnasterodon]

Great videos. I have one question/ suggestion: watching your videos, You often mention body proportions, but from watching you i get the impression that your neck is realy long and thin, chicken-like (No offense please!) compared to your body. From that is my question, is there any specific exercises to make neck thicker, grow some muscle there? Do You do any specific exercises for neck muscles? I, my self have long neck, so just wondering...

P.S. pardon my english :)

[ilikegirlsalotxd]

great vid scooby ! I have a different question though.why is it that sometimes I feel pain in my shoulders when I do pull ups, and also, after every workout, I feel the muscle worked the next day(sore).The only muscle I don't feel sore the day after the workout is my shoulders...Is there any reason for that?

[muk546]

Damm you have like no hair is it natural or do you shave it?

[Proxenetumatii]

did u get any offers to promote some crap protein shake or amino,creatine or something like that?....just curiuos,and why didnt u go for them?

[kai77577]

You got sun burn !!!

[attffgg]

thanks peter zane!

(sorry scooby, this doesn't get old!!)

[mayhem20002]

[1971zanman]

scooby you are such a source of motivation and a great guy too!

[1971zanman]

scooby you are such a source of motivation and a great guy too!

[xxdjcharlierockxx]

hey scooby,good job putting the links in the description! and nice work on all the other pages you put together for back,shoulder etc. thanks for making it as easy as possible. loved the gnome lol (BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ! WHAT A RETARD! lmao)

great stuff man

[Demolasha]

Hey Scooby one more thing with your videos, did you really film the entire video on the beach or was that just edited on as a background? Cause I'm a pretty self-conscious person imo and I really admire how you are so confident and everything :D

[Daniel8295music]

25 people are too lazy too exercise 

[Demolasha]

DAYYYUUMM scooby your in such great shape, such a great role model, motivator and inspiring us all to work out and get in shape as well :D keep them coming!! :D

[KravaLLT]

Can i measure my bodyfat without any SPECIAL device? b'coz I dont have any of it.

[wgshooter]

you have definitely helped inspired me to work out. I don;t have a gym right now and your videos are very helpful. on another note where do you live (generally)? florida? it always seems sunny and tropical in your outside videos

[liesoul]

yow scooby! im really inspired by your videos. thanks!

[scooby1961]

Thanks for the "LIKES" on this video!!! I thank each and every one of you 1435 awesome people out there!

[LysergIY]

@scooby1961 why are you thanking us for the likes? it should be us thanking you. your helping us reach our fitness goal and teaching everyone how to take care of our OWN body. the ONLY thing we truly own in this world. our body. so THANK YOU SCOOBY1961

[xNeo2Rememberx]

@scooby1961 I can not thank you enough scooby. I have had times when I wanted to work out and I did for maybe a week and a half then my motivation plummeted to the ground. Your videos have inspired and motivated me to stop giving up and I have been working out at least once every week full body exercise for about an hour and a half per session for about 2 months and im already seeing myself as being much bulkier than I used to be 2 months ago. Im a lucky one that gains muscle really fast.

[Kozonish]

@scooby1961 You don't have to Scooby, we have to thank you for your videos and for your tricks.

[officereagle]

The other night, I had a dream I was at Scoobys house. Pretty sure his mother (as if any of us have ever seen her) was also there and he was peeling the skin off of avacados and putting the edible part into a cake pan. just thought I'd share that with you all.
