[Fleskd0ris]

I've been training alot of weightlifting over the last year to help support my rugby, But now you've inspired me to start bodybuilding for real! This is a cool exercise, I usually did 40x2 usual pushup reps every night, But let me tell you that this gave me a sore feeling the day after :p

[JS9413]

Wow.. he has a freakishly small head.. and a big body? that sucks..

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

No sir.

Most bodybuilders shave their heads so their head APPEARS very small compared to the rest of their body.

[blueblob4]

I do three sets of each exercise too. I have a total gym but am going to get a set of bowflex SelecTec dumbells. Can't wait for my mom to finally let me get them which should be soon...hopefully.

[blueblob4]

What if the water container breaks? HE HE HE... HE

[CrazehMike]

Then you get wet?

[FrauleinK]

You love your funny little hats, don't you? :) They're cute though!

[eddiebraveheart]

Your videos & website are really good. I haven't read all of your website yet but some of your advice and videos have shown me that I am doing a lot of my exercises the wrong way. I'm going to try your intermediate plan as my routine and see what the outcome is. Thanks for taking the time to do all this. I appreciate it even if some people do just bad mouth your stuff. jerks!

[mackenson305]

okay fool who made this video u jocking me 4 real

[HatoHammer]

this guy is a jerk off

[JavaCrammer]

This guy makes these workouts fun! He rocks lol.

[ViggoZaZaa]

Insted of using cat litter he should use cat shit since he's so full of it

[GoukiTehPwner]

LMAO.

[SpeakahBox]

His head looks tiny compared to his body HAHA

[bcoolbrich]

hey!

i have a problem

my chest is really small in the inside

can someone tell me how can i train the inside of the chest at home... i only have dumbells...

thanks!

[jelleoelle]

Are there anyone dumb enough to need to see a bunch of examples of what you can put in the backpack to give it weight?

[Agonar81]

lol this guy is great

[sleepybone321]

rofl at 2:10 OWW GOD YOU POKED OUT MY EYE...the comedy in your videos help :)

[jimtbishop]

Ummm. this vid could have been done in 2 minutes. This dude loves hearing himself talk....13.5 minutes on how to do a pushup with a backpack. I'd hate to see this dude try to explain algebra.

[kolswa]

LOL, oh well his videos are great, ide rather watch this then a something else

[mackenson305]

nigga shut dat shit up is a dumb idea

[kolswa]

technically, its NOT AN IDEA, you f*** wit, never cal me nigga again

[sleepybone321]

what i want to know is how he says to take a 2 minute break...does it have to be 2 minutes or can it be more of like 5 minutes? didnt know if takeing longer breaks slows down how fast you build muscle?

[omegamanGXE]

Scooby, I love the humor you add to already helpful videos! Keep up the good work, man!

[StaticGuitarPlayer]

awesome video. Are these backpack exercises effected in building muscle?

[bobmillerbygod]

when chuck norris does a push up, he doesn't push himself up, he pushes the earth down. i seen it! i know!

[pimppadilla]

lol when you hit the little nome.

[rhodes7586]

i will work for you

[Maverickas123]

Great stuff! much appreciated!

[owensphil]

How about just getting a weighted vest?

[scooby1961]

A weighted vest is fine if you have one but my whole idea here is use what you have around the house without spending money. A weighted vest with 70lbs of lead would be pretty expensive.

[owensphil]

I picked up my weighted vest from Walmart. I think it's only 40lbs which I guess is a good start. It wasn't expensive at all probably about the same price as the special kind of backpack you mention if not less. I'm not knocking what you're saying at all. I was looking for your opinion on weighted vests.If maybe you feel the weight is more evenly distributed and less of a hassle.

[Potatoah]

You are inspiring, I've gained 10lbs of muscle the last month and a week. You sure give the right information! Thumbs up!

[gottschi0m]

chuck norris is a joke against you ;-)

[kickflip36]

chuck norris is the be all and end all of existence

[triggerwalker128]

sir do dumbells also work as push up stands.

by the way im 15 i weigh 164 9.7 percent body fat i can bench a max of 225. with benching i havent noticed any chest mucle building. your push up guide on the other hand= amazing results. i use to have huge calfs but theyve gone down alot can you message me some ideas or teqniques for calf and ab workouts?? thank you in advance i hope to hear back from you

[Bowiddl]

The best Scooby on earth!!!

Thank very much you for all your support. Means a lot for me. I appreciate your work!

[kingcharlesfunksquid]

scooby saves lives- scooby gives men physiques scooby and "vicsnatural" are the ultimate fintess gurus on youtube, keep up the work scooby and ur pecs are staggering .

[Brickwall2468]

I cant do this...my back pack is full of crisps, mars bars and cakes..no room for them bottle weights.

[scooby1961]

Thanks for making my day, I died laughing when I read this!!!

[Brickwall2468]

welcome..u have to have a laugh

[Salsakid99]

your body is amazing, where can I see more ofyou

[makecashonebay1]

If 1 gallon is 8 then why is 4 gallons 33? lmao

[ax7pollis]

because a single gallon weighs 8.3lbs approximately.

[KeepAwayFromHeat]

LOL

[thelagreenski]

could have made that 5 minutes shorter...

[HotKebab]

This guys adivce and tips is golden no matter how long it is.

[bridgetjohnn]

you should do more push ups and faster.. you are only doing like 10.. big muscles = no power.. you should go up to 50 push ups ..

[JoshPV08]

50 pushups is a bit hard with 50 pounds on your back. Doing them fast has nothing to do with anything, either.

[uri112189]

isnt slow pushups better than fast pushups

[impulsefountain]

this was actually pretty funny hahahah

[colombian18]

haha this is pretty funny man.

[3123h]

is there any food i can eat 2 increase the results

[Opstipation]

Hey Scoob, great videos man!

I got a question and it's a tough one..

My chest muscles are spread more to the side and I am trying to pump up the middle of the chest without much success.. I've been trying for a long time, tried almost every workout.. I'm starting to think that it's a qouestion of genetics, and if so, I'm doomed :(

Thanks m8!

[Str00pwafel]

What ways did you train?

[jnix91]

Hi, I'm 17 and have been weight training for 2 years. I am currently 10.5 stone. I'm looking to build up muscle. Should I eat loads and train with it?In your opinion what would be the best option?

Great videos by the way..

[drhitler]

god damn this dude is buff

excellent tutorial, I'm definatly using this technique.

lol @ 6:50 - 7:14

[CyrusInvis]

That'd be so funny if a teacher stole this to use in school. You fucked up my eye!

[CanadaUSAlliance]

this dude has a really loud grunt

[kimera808]

VERY HELPFUL!!

[sleepyhead7391]

lmao read the credits

[darekswob]

small neck ... NO KOX :P

[heretik333]

omg big body small head =)))

[triggerwalker128]

sir do dumbells also work as push up stands.

by the way im 15 i weigh 164 9.7 percent body fat i can bench a max of 225. with benching i havent noticed any chest mucle building. your push up guide on the other hand= amazing results. i use to have huge calfs but theyve gone down alot can you message me some ideas or teqniques for calf and ab workouts?? thank you in advance i hope to hear back from you

[scooby1961]

Yes, you can use dumbbells as pushup stands!!! The octagonal ones are the best because they dont roll. You can use round ones but it recruits a whole new set of muscles to stabilize the dumbbells and keep them from rolling.

[tonyle0708]

thank you so much for posting this. i find your video very useful for the beginner like me.

[alben982]

Awesome vid Scooby! I gave it a try while the video was running and I can feel it is working! About the same feeling as when I am at the gym, but at home. One thing I did notice is the backpack somewhat limits my movement a bit, but it is also extra resistance so it is okay, nothing harmful or with pain. Thanks Scooby for the tips and motivation!

[gregreg123]

I am 16(17 in a month) and i have been training now for around 8 months, though unfort. i am one of those people who have to work hard to put any muscle/weight on. I do the usual chest exercises,bench,flys,crossover­s. Though i very rarely do push ups.

Would you recommend to do push ups every night and if so what type of push ups are the best?

Thanks

Greg.

[MartinHillerod]

Remember you can max. put on 5 kg muscle mass pr year, the right way

[SanitySource]

is that the same as plato?

[rINGbOOSIE]

ow my eye you poked out my eye

[WaZZaProductions954]

[scooby1961]

I hope you took before and after pictures!!!!

[Ninety9Soulz]

I WOULD PAY YOU TO BE MY PERSONAL TRAINER lol

[scooby1961]

Personal training is hard work, my hats off to those who do it as a career. Personally, I would HATE being in the gym that long!

[BuckeyeSparky]

lol i love it how he showed all the things you could use as weight

[abyroj]

lol ahhhh my eye you poked out my eye XD. nice vid 2 bad im just a beginner im going to follow your videos they are very helpful :)

[nikolatesla84]

this guy's head doesn't look proportional to the rest of his body LOL who the hell would want to put this load of shit in a bagpack and do pushups with it? oh, boy......

[JustMauro9254]

a lot of people do it

[nikolatesla84]

thats why we're in trouble...

[deen911]

Good job teaching the interweb! And free too! Thank you

[darkgolem445]

[ianccc86]

[RoccoFortune]

this shit is mad ghetto what the fuck. get your asses in a gym dont be fuckin around your backyard with your school bag fillin it up with all kinds of shit.

[clearviewhigh]

gym's are for the weak in my opinion.

[RoccoFortune]

your mom gots the clapsos

[clearviewhigh]

not at all bro. u go to a gym. u use machines. machines let u lift way too much weight. people feeel way to strong using machines. all u need is a bench. and free weight dumbells. thatll build real muscle.

[nikolatesla84]

you are right clearviewhigh, but machines allow people to exercise very precise muscle and of course not everyone can be working out w/dumbells due to variety of health problems etc. but machines let many handicapped in every possible way people to have a meaningful work out.

[clearviewhigh]

ya ur right. i never thot from a health perspective.

[Ryan123497]

nice hat homo

[NoobFreestyleSkater]

hahaha Hahaha HAHAHA!

[Albertlemons]

awesome dude your chest workouts rock!

[morrocandriverssuck]

[ChawPowda]

hey scooby, I have 6 pack abs but they are hard to see, only in the right light, But I really want to make bigger and harder, whats the best way for me to do that?

thanks again you make great videos

[ChawPowda]

Im 15 by the way!

[Ryan123497]

[username348]

u need to do crunches my friend

[rko4life123]

hey yo man how do you get shoulder defintion man iv been working so hard but little result and can only see the denifiton under light please give me any tips???

[sam001424]

scooby doo

[chaldopimpn61]

how long do u think it takes to have a 6 pack

[LaRue040392]

It really depends on what you do and how you do it. It took me about 2 years. And you shouldnt confuse muscle with being so skinny you can see your abs.

[LaRue040392]

I wanna look like you soo bad. I hate it when people say that people as big as you use steroids. I've been working out for almost 4 and a half years and im pretty cut. im 16 and ive got an 8 pack and pecs, and I've been accused of using steroids. people dont realize it takes years to build muscle

[scooby1961]

At age 16 you have 8-pack abs and get accused of using steriods by envious people? Pretty amazing, you are only 16 and I didnt even start working out till I was 21

[LaRue040392]

Well, judging by how you look, I didn't just do acouple pushups here and there. I did hardcore dedicative workouts. Ya see, I'm kinda obsessed with getting as big as I can. When I was really little I got beat up all the time. So I joined the football team and started working to get bigger. I guess I have bigorexia.

[Pipona666]

hey scooby ive been watching your videos

and i find them really helpful

i was wondering if u could organize me a

workout to make my chest more ripped

and bigger within a month

thanks

[NViriya]

You can't get ripped within 30 days. He said that in one of his videos.

[scooby1961]

NViriya got it right!  You cant do anything in 30 days, bodybuilding takes years.

[GEO3535]

ow my eye you poked out my eye

[JatThePK]

-Grunt- "KITTY LITTER!"

[scaptzezem]

LMAO ya , his body is TOOOO big for his head? !

[XYKamikaze]

[LacosTacosPacos]

man join a gym, gyms destroy home workouts because in my opinion, you go to the gym, you are more motivated, and you have a ton of weights.

[solehead2]

big body tiny head lol

TURTLE!!

good stuff though

[ThaHeartOfLife2]

how is his head tiny?

[solehead2]

body to head ratio is off

[gyhighway]

Is this good for arms also, this workout?

[209Sin]

it depends on how you do it

if you do it a certain way, your arms get some of the weight and it kinda works

[DBOY2010ANT]

DAT AINT EVN HIM

[peoplelondon]

me encanta este tipo esta bien sexy me encanta verlo es fantastico

i like it your video

[thatmonkeyonyourhead]

Bueeeeeeno! esta de sexy! parece Brad pitt en version Aznar

[Footballforlyfe16]

ROFL his head doesnt fit his body, his head looks wimpy and then his body is jacked

[rangerdanger222]

It's the voice that really kills it.

[whapaaaaaaa]

man this looks like a killer

[ScheldeBoy]

just one tip, you should look straight ahead when doing push ups. Keep up the good work !

[DecryptionGunZ]

I just did some of these but I wouldn't consider myself and advanced body builder. I do bench almost 50 pounds over my weight but I am only 14.

[HeavenShallBurn34]

Really? Congratulations.

[amcadam26]

I've subscribed, good vids.

[I2eapz]

lol what a weak cunt he sounds like hes about to cry every push up lol

[nikcs123]

why you be hatin'?

[strike3022]

its pretty obvious that you have never pushed your self to your limit while working out.

[evolution270]

Maybe it's because he's already a little old, how about that?

[I2eapz]

lol hes gotten that big his body makes his head look weird and small lol

[Ezial1504]

hahaha....freakin retard...is he like teachin us how to use a backpack....hahahahaha...n he sound like he is cumin hahaha......

[penisfacefucker]

haha lol loving the comments

[joshryker]

I almost just died laughing.

[hyperxz]

no offense but with all your exercize you have entirely forgotten to train the neck and now the rest of your body is out of proportion

[Gennosuke84]

really good job, keep it up

[tierno9876]

what is your discretion against gnomes? leave us alone!! (good vid)

[S3xySki3r]

[harrybehl78]

nice job throwin the backpack to that guy :)

[RobbieEffect]

what do you mean by..."aw you poked out my eye?"

[Noleiber]

listen when he throws the bag

[Noleiber]

hey why are they so bad for wrists?(if done with palms)

[RobbieEffect]

What do you mean by "aw you poked out my eye?"

[amcadam26]

when he throws the bag over his shoulder it hits a gnome.

[danielwaghorn]

Its hecause you have to hyper extend your wrist and that can lead to joint problems.

[Noleiber]

aw my eye, you poked out my eye!

[caleb10980]

how often would you recommend doing this exercise? like, twice a week or what?

[jaboipell]

where do you live? your backrounds are always so nice and relaxing. lol

[thejaof]

i just love the hat man..

lovely!

[scooby1961]

Without a lot of natural sun protection up top, I rely on my bucket hats!

[thejaof]

ur the man.. seriously..

and i'm even trying to do some of your stuff..

keep it up!!

[Askren]

Dude's ripped but he talks goofy as hell..haha.... I think I'm just being jealous now :-(

[scooby1961]

Dont worry, I take 'goofy' as a compliment! I try to keep my vids from getting to boring and being a tad goofy is my only weapon as I have no acting skills.

[StudioHansen222]

lol im subscibing, first thing ive subscribed to

[66Nico]

thanks mate for posting this-- practical and humourous presentation that gets me motivated. Great.

[CristianoRonald0no1]

if you just wanna use any bag but dnt have straps just use rope...works fine just use a lasoo and double knot

[TheArea510]

okay so what the fuck is this man?scary shit

[jesterthatfreshkidd]

fu who the fuck do you think you are this man is scobby hes a legend at home exercise..

[th55]

Great video Scooby!

[solvagne]

thanks scooby - all your clips helped a lot! i ll donate

by the way, even your aircraft project seems really interesting to me, maybe i ll do it the same sometimes ;)

[taghl]

Great idea bro'....................I may try that. Probably would help knee bends too. Great Idea!!!

[qdpqipqbp]

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhahahahahahah­a man you are extremely funny !

you combine humor, and even anattend humor in your videos, yet you are very guiding

I enjoy watching your videos.

[svx593]

oww my eye ahahahhaa.

[gauge6666]

you have a nice yard

[AxPOTATOExxxxxx]

i usualy just do sets of 5o and go to 500 is that worse or better? cause i cant put thirty pounds in my back pack lol!

[PurpleRebelBlazer]

hi.. nice to see some nice home workout.. about the packpack.. ive used a packpack for some time now.. but instead of doing the normal pushups afterwards, why not just put some extra weight in the bag and do like 10-12.. whats most effective?

[get3hit]

you are the man

[xyberfunk]

i can smell the little fibers burnin :-) now chug a protien shake w ground flaxseed and watch the fat burn. Great vids! (BTW - where are you?, the backdrop is awesome, it looks tropical)

[thegrandhighgnome]

Awesome video as always scooby! Just a quick question really. I'm 18, I've been doing martial arts for co-ordination and fitness for about 6 years and I'm pretty lean as a result. I've done a bit of weight training too in a kind of haphazard way. I'm pretty skinny though, I weigh 146 and I'm 5'11". Is it a good idea to start working out seriously now or should I leave it a bit?

[KITSILATIPAK]

Great stuff, love your workouts, they're inventive and useful. You won't find these anytime soon in your average exercise book!

And also I lol'd at the credits ;)

[sttclifton]

You are an inspiration. Im currently 18 and i would kill to have a physique like yours at my age, let alone when i'm 47!!!

can't wait until your next video.

[osbfern03]

ou my eye u pocked out my eye

[roflmfao123]

Hello Scooby, great video. I just wanted to add a note here that going that low on the push-ups will also work your Anterior Deltoids; not just the chest. (I'm positive you knew that; just thought I'd add it since I didn't see it stated here on your video). P.S. Great video.

Damn you're 46? I thought you were in your 30s...
