Real Talk: Training for muscle gain as a natural

[BjBigZ]

Quality Information!  Well worth the 35 minutes.

[LiftingForLife]

@BjBigZ Thanks!

Hey could you clear up a few questions in regards to working out?

1) Is it true that working out longer than an hour will result in cortisol release? If not, how long should our workouts be?

2) As a person who is looking to just put size, should I just take out the isolation exercises and put in a few more compound movements? And is it even true that isolation exercises "shape" the muscles?

Thanks! I would really appreciate if you could help me out on these two things. =)

[CDT565]

@dou put in more compound, great exercises and isolation "shaping" muscles- ? im not sure

[aTrueMartialArtist]

great info thanks man keep up the awesome videos

[boby6]

This was long as fuck, but pretty accurate. I used to do similar routine, but I would be burned out so fast doing as many sets as you say. I switched to same style only 2 warm up sets and 2 working sets. Than the second time I train the same muscles later that week I would do 80% of the weight I was using on day 1 since my muscles would be worked hard already.

[RSHuerta93]

You have decent information, but seriously, 30 minutes? You NEED to work on being more concise. Also, stop talking with your hands.

[ybbolb]

Thank you for the long video. I do have 1 question though, how do you fit in a cardio session in a 2 on 1 off schedule? Cardio on the off day?

[necrom666]

Thanks for the nice snooze.

[Flexx2635]

thanks for this video

[UpalKashey]

iv been trying this out now close to amonth. being the open minded individual i am, and yes it defiently is giving me some solid results, but the only place im lagging in is my bench press, iv gone up just a bit, but compared to my military press, my squats, its nothing special.

what do you think could be the issue, and yes i am eating a  surplus of calories

[UpalKashey]

another Question progressive overload during workout or adding weight on the second workout?

example = 4 sets of 135 lbs, next week 4 sets of 145?

[walshy0001]

@UpalKashey

the whole point of progressive overload is to track your strength and help you get stronger, so I don't think you're going to be getting stronger in between sets........basically it's adding weight the next workout.

[UpalKashey]

im gonna give this a try for at least two months it sounds good and makes sense

but i worry there is not enough shoulder routines in this workout, am i mistaken.

[AdR1aN43]

@UpalKashey no because any rowing movent hits rear delts, pressing movements hit front delts and lat rasies hit side delts. u could do 3 sets of db shoulder press and 3 sets of lat raises 8)

[LiftingForLife]

@DuretteBodybuilding I agree. We'll see.

[gseverson1]

Ian, great vid.....You should do a video on DoggCrap training.....Great training program for natty's and juicers.....I would like to hear your opinion on it!! Check it out if you aren't familiar about DC training (High frequency, high intensity, low volume, rest-pause training)

[LiftingForLife]

@gseverson1 It's an effective program but tends to overcomplicate fairly simple concepts. I also wouldn't advocate low volume heavy training on a consistent basis for the sake of injury prevention.

[AdR1aN43]

@LiftingForLife what do u thnk of layne nortons PHAT routine?

[readyfowhateva1]

awesome vid and info man! Cleared alot of things up for me especially about the squats. If i dont have a leg press r walking lunges or half squats in a higher rep range a good substitute?

[LiftingForLife]

@readyfowhateva1 Do you have access to a hack squat machine?

[chaknoww]

whats your workout routine?

[MrHulk6]

Once again, nice vid Ian!!!

[burningcrimsonfury]

Great content, moar videos!!

[Vibealive77]

GREAT vid Ian... well done... :)

[TribLoco]

Good video Ian

[marcus23332333]

can you make a video talking about how to break a plateau with you get to 10 percent body fat and you just stop losing weight. What do you do then to get a 6-8 percent bodyfat

[antzzz111]

Hey Ian can you let me know what you think about my bulking plan?

I want to workout everything twice per week, but have the weekends off

Monday- Chest / tries / shoulders

Tuesday- back / bis / Legs / Abs

Wed- OFF

Thurs- Chest / tries / shoulders

Friday- back /bis / Legs / Abs

Sat- OFF

Sun- OFF

[ThXKamilX]

@antzzz111

bro, this is a PUSH & PULL, not Lower-Uper, but give it a try, it's ok.

[LTMagic21]

@antzzz111 you gotta throw quads on the chest/shoulders/tris day. and then hamstrings on the back/bis day. then it's a truly push/pull split

[legend2kill]

@antzzz111 thats fine

[BERGATHLETICS]

@mouthforwar93 Ian is technically a genius and puts the work in to do his research, unlike most people just put up vids to put up vids.

[shalesyci]

where can i find a good upper lower split ?

[LAKallday7]

Didn't finish the video so sorry if this was mentioned in it...

If this is the most effective way to train, why is it that in your training videos you don't follow these protocols?

[LiftingForLife]

@LAKallday7 I really don't enjoy this style of training, that's all.

[GooodYoou]

Time stamps would epic man. Keep it up!

[Celonarb]

Good stuff Ian.

[Faggit555]

lol flat incline press.

good shit ian, keep it up

[graminc]

Man, I'm a dumbass. It never dawned on me to subscribe until you said something. /facepalm @ me

[LiftingForLife]

@graminc loooool

[graminc]

@LiftingForLife Just a suggestion, you may want to mention subscribing, liking, and FB at the end of each video. Will Brink does it and it is very effective (for me anyways). You get so bombarded with information, you forget to "like" it. Just serves as a reminder (at least for me).

[Liftfforglory211]

@LiftingForLife ian im getting off my bullshit 5 day split and getting on your program. i am an ectomorph and will be bulking up and after i get enough size I will enter a comp and I will be updating you on progress! thanks man for the science not the broscience. peace.

[loves2spooj6969]

quick question..i know that for muscle building, a calorie surplus is almost required in a sense. But for pure strength and power, is a calorie surplus completely necessary?

[LiftingForLife]

@loves2spooj6969 Nope.

[clos1624]

hey do u know anything about clenbuterol?

[LiftingForLife]

@clos1624 I do.

[walshy0001]

@MusixPro4u

FAGGGOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MusixPro4u]

@walshy0001 who's the faggot here lol.

[Jcronindream]

Great vid! 

[123456raiden]

good shit faggot

[ShamW00H00]

Liked! great stuff bro! i deffo agree with everything you said. I was on a 3 day split when i first started lifting and didn't see nearly enough gains. i've just come out of a cut and currently doing the stronglifts 5x5 to up my strength again and soon ima start the routine you just layed out. cant wait! cheers. keep the videos coming!!!

[LiftingForLife]

@ShamW00H00 Thanks for the support!

[antzzz111]

can you do a video on saying why I shouldn't  take PH or roids?

[LiftingForLife]

@antzzz111 You mean side effects of anabolics? At the end of the day I'm not against steroid use.

[antzzz111]

@LiftingForLife ya like the side effects and what the negatives may be (assuming you use them the right way)

[LiftingForLife]

@antzzz111 I could do a video on that, sure.

[19mojo89]

my Q on the old video was...does protein synthisis only happen within the muscle you work out that seshion? without any research i think i just assumed protein synthisis was just a full body process...

[LiftingForLife]

@19mojo89 It's a localized process.

[19mojo89]

@LiftingForLife thanks for the speedy reply, if i could like this more i would.

[LiftingForLife]

@19mojo89 lol, thanks!

[19mojo89]
