[themanso08]

[dsingleton1000]

nice tough mudder shirt i did mine dec 3rd it was fun as shit

[Naveed123abc]

HOLY SHIT. this dude is a genius. it all makes sense now.i was wondering why my left side lats were not developing and my right side is, its because my left side abs is not developed and my right side abs is. i love you elliot , no homo.

IT ALL STARTS FROM YOUR ABS/CORE

[SuperFamousAnus]

yo Elliot!Is it bad to build muscels when your 14-15 years?

[ajdcoinc]

In no way did this video run way too long, this was about the single most educational video ive seen yet infact it should of went longer, this video could of went on for an hour and i would of still watched it. So far I'm a fan, im learning thanks bro. I will follow you i like what im hearing.

[vulk9317]

thanks Elliot I have been lifting for almost three years now with scoliosis and the first thing my doctor told me to do was to strengthen my core and abdominal group. i incorporated planks and other core exercises. i used to have crazy back pain after lifting in the beginning but all that stopped after i sucked up my pride and started doing the core work. Great vid. God bless.

[PROUDxXxHermanite01]

i made a poem elliot, why yo eyes so squinty, squinty

looks to me like you enjoy that sticky , icky. (:

[biffa91]

Great video! Some good information.

'Apple nuggets' lol

[benjafflolz]

Awesome job Matt congrats on the fat loss! Start with nutrition and good habits, work towards a solid body and then go for bulging muscles.

Elliot Keep being a badass thanks for sharing your time.

[SmartAceHole82]

Babys = weird and wiggly, got it thanks Elliot.

[HomicidalDavid]

He mentioned Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I have that, it sucks, because when I awake, i have a hard time eating for a while. I get nauseated etc...

[Sadfriendable]

Hey Elliot, I was wondering. Would deadlifts and front squats be enough workout on the abs for a beginner like me or would I need to do an isolated workout like crunches?

And does in any way what gender you have?

[sebastienNBA23]

yo what song plays at the beginning?

[PassionForWater]

Really looking forward to a video on stomach vacuums, you've touched on it in other videos, but never really gone in depth, heres another comment saying you should make a seperate video on stomach vacuums!! Keep on rockin' brotha

[haseebmajid]

Elliot is DON 

[bearhardman]

apple nuggets xD

[PrimalATC]

Seriously who the hell were the 3 ass clowns who disliked this video? This stuff is priceless.

[sebastienNBA23]

yo elliot what song is playing at the beginning?

[SinisterSkip]

This is why Elliot is the man. He always looks at the bigger picture, where other fitness guru's are too dumb or uninformed to even think about the REAL problems people have.

[misztal2112]

THUMBS UP FOR APPLE NUGGETS!!!

[val154]

Elliot what are the proper sets and rest intervals to make vacuuming effective? Im doing 5 sets 10 sec on 10 secs off. Let me know if I am on the right track. Thanks!

[torbjs1502]

Elliot!! This information just gave you the title "Super awesome". Congrats!

[Dexduzdiz]

YOU ARE A FUCKIN G!!! 

[q8shooter12]

The 300 lbs guy might have a wife, you never know. Might not want to say ' hope you get all the chics ' :P

[q8shooter12]

What did you study in university?

[leansecrets]

I actually like that you're "long winded"! Awesome video

[KaelinSaint]

"Tummy Vacuums" Someone has young kids. Too funny. As always love the deeper look into problems instead of just addressing the surface issues and solutions.

[TheSalvaDoorian]

Yo Elliot!!! I want to get ready for power lifting this fall for high school. What would be a good workout and nutrition plan to increase my max bench, squat, and dead lift as much as possible? I want to get all of my lifts as high as possible while keeping my body weight as low as possible which is 150.

[boby6]

what is tough mudder?

[Cornampoo]

@boby6 don't they have google in Mexico?

[boby6]

@Cornampoo lolo im not actually from Mexico I just put it cause I wanted to, but im just wondering. I like the more personal responses rather than Wikipedia stuff

[Davidson032390]

Just watched the video, as always, awesome.One of the few people who trains/advises people on how to fix the problem (weak abdominals/inflammation causing lower back pain which impedes upper back development). I wish I could spend some time learning from you-I train people the same way,ID'ing the source of the pain/problem/weakness anatomically/physiologically and strengthening that to improve performance.

Yo Elliot!How can you improve stride length/frequency and pelvis position for top speed?

[zelzatron]

secondly you mentioned something a few videos back that you were going to do some more comprehensive looks at people so you wouldn't have to rely on guess work. How could i get in on that, I find it very hard to get reliable information from anyone about training so it would be great to get some advice from someone i trust. Not sure if it matters but i live in Australia p.s. thanks for the Vince Gironda information really useful stuff.

[zelzatron]

Yo Elliot! First up thanks for the videos, missing the days when they popped up once a day but i realise you're a busy man. Anyway I have a question for you in regards to my training, i just came back from the gym and for some reason the amount of weight im able to do fluctuates an incredible amount between each week and it becomes extremely disheartening when i am seeing a steady increase in weight being used and then suddenly i have to go down 30lbs or more. I have no idea whats going on.

[Paul21691]

this is a problem i also have, damn i give you my gracious thanks Elliott this is gonna advice help a whole lot bro

[7mgtorC]

Apple Nuggets. Lmao, I love how eloquent he is yet manages to throw in overemphasized cussing. Down to earth!

[JohnCanadianDoe]

wish i could put more then one thumbs up on this one...

[gregaspenson]

Love the video's. Can tell that Paul Chek has been a big influence on you.

[strengthcamp]

@gregaspenson yea, i'm really not sure if anyone else is even worth studying other than paul.

[OlesLBB]

Haha 50 cent If I can't nice song 

[countofmonetcristo80]

Organs, nervous system, bone and muscle then skin. Yes, because God created us from the inside out. God layered us from inside to the out which is pretty darn awesome and cool! What other foods can I eat to stop the inflammation of my gut?

[Greddybear]

@countofmonetcristo80 good questio0n i need an answer to thisn but i think he told us  something like boxed food are bad and weird sounding foods

[Zenith4165]

Looking cut?

[WhatIsItToBurn]

I want some apple nuggets =/

[Njderig]

Hey Elliot, How do you feel about hamburgers if I buy grassfed natural ground beef? Is that really any different that steak? How about natural peanut butter where the only ingredients are peanuts and salt? Arent both of those foods technically processed but really no different than their original forms?

[soFresh207]

@Njderig I would say they are ok. Be easy on the buns when you are having your hamburgers tho.

[strengthcamp]

@Njderig LOL - i just got a box of over 100 grassfed hamburgers in the mail yesterday!

[justcallmeDiesel]

@strengthcamp

Hey man I'm giving myself a goal of dropping 30 lbs in 30 days. Do you think it's possible and do you have any tips?

[Njderig]

@strengthcamp Why the LOL? I wasn't being a smartass I'm serious.

[strengthcamp]

@Njderig i'm serious too... i literally JUST got my box of gf burgers in the mail. i'll post an image on my facebook tomorrow. (lol was for the coincidence)

[Njderig]

@strengthcamp Oh ok, that's awesome, man. and a LOT of beef. I'm jealous haha. Grassfed beef rocks. Keeps my energy up and strength and test levels up high.

[wirezts]

@Njderig Dude I think he's just saying that he eats it so he must agree that it's good!

[TheShootersTouch]

@Njderig

Yeaah! Grassfed beef and pork is pretty awesome! 

[GooodYoou]

Could you touch on how a person with diabetes (type 1, a pancreas that doesn't work) is effected by unhealthy organs like you talk about?

Thanks. 

[TamaraLavon]

Hey Im a lady and I watch..not down with making videos just yet, but yea, we're here too (and im unoffended lol). Thanks for this video, i think it will help my husband who is doing the same as the guy who sent the video question. Thanks!

[strengthcamp]

@TamaraLavon thanks for viewing ;)

[jwoodford90]

be a leader and tribute to our society?? - brb crunching.

[dunlea2k8]

vacuuming benefits everything most underrated exercise

[cowmok]

A new stomach vacume video definitely sounds ideal, along with a very compelling list of benefits. (because i find myself feeling like im wasting my time when doing it)

[TheShootersTouch]

Good work elliot!

[YUP3RS]

But i love Apple Nuggets...

[TheJoeGetem]

yeah i`m a real strength camp fan, and i seen the growth you have made and the steps you have taken to become a better man and fitness advice giver you are one of the best ppl doing on the web hands down. who else would tell you the truth about strength most folks feed you a line of bullshit and then then give you what works best for them like anyone person is the same when it comes to muscles gain or weight loss but we all live in this f`d up world and eat crap so lets fix the problem 1st

[jaffacec]

elliot is great, but i hope he's not guna turn into one of these people who talk bout themselves in the 3rd person like in the start of this vid, no matter who u r, takin like that makes u sound like a douche lol

[oaj151]

Judging from the video question, the guy looks weak, with little muscle development, this factors in having a solid structure that keeps your entire body functioning as a whole unit.

in regards to lower back 'pain'? yeah, i don't think it's pain, it's simply a pump. i get those pumps when i dead-lift and db/bb row. this is normal, and the pump can vary in discomfort based on how hydrated your muscles are via water/glycogen.

sharp pinching pain = bad, pump = normal

[MetalDrummer09]

excellent video as always

[pbwyatt6]

YO ELLIOT! throw in some videos of you tossin up some heavy weights! love to see you do that you strong sob.

[Orion8888]

Elliot is right on this one. Fundamentals must always come first.

[asrsniperx]

Yoo Elliott How about a vid on Nutrition particularly pre and post workout. There are so much conflicting info out there floating around that just confuse and have a lot of us running around in circles so can you post your recommendation on a vid for us and help clear up all of the bs Thanks a lot bro and keep up the great work cheers!

[ajinxxx]

apple nuggets!! haha need to try those lol jkz great vid brilliant info :)

[stfaulk89]

Good diet and a killer body = conqueror of the world? I should be there soon. 

[MrEthereality]

Elliot I recall you saying that you take heavy whip cream after workouts. That certainly isn't something people at 10,000 years ago. Protein supplements are also highly processed "foods". Could you elaborate more on this? Thanks.

[lyzedpara]

@MrEthereality what he meant was that eating protein with fat is ideal.

any "natural" protein source has lats of fat with it. Steak for example.

[MrEthereality]

@lyzedpara

Right, I got that. I'm just wondering why he said to only eat natural foods in this video, but clearly those two are not natural food sources.

[lyzedpara]

@MrEthereality cream is just dairy.

not exactly processed shit

[strengthcamp]

@MrEthereality check the date on that video... I've changed my mind on SEVERAL things over the years.

[phaedruslive]

@strengthcamp a lot of the paleo info is bunk, and people shouldnt be listening to it blindly. Too much bro-science on youtube man. I'm sure you know what i'm talking about.

[canef3ar]

eilliot! we love you! (annoying fanboy voice) :D

[renaee342]

Yo Elliot you have to remake this video in English.

[conory]

Note to self: Workout Abs more!!! :)

[MFSherlock]

best description of a feotus yet

[z28ls7805]

best video .

[YoungTrellafrella]

YO elliot why the fuck r u so big !

[fastguytim]

As always, GREAT INFO!!!!  Thanks

[TheExtremeFitness]

I've used a lot of your information for my college work this year man, helped me out a lot and it's nice to know that I can learn from someone that I share the same passion with! Keep up with the content Elliot.

[MarkQP]

i dont understand lol

that guy asked a question about building his lats and the entire video is about digesting and stuff

[andriyk47]

if i cant do it, it cant be done..

50cent

[FredBR999]

Children at a very young age can digest AND expel. A lot...

[JamTheDoughnut]

elliot hulse > god

[AmsterdamHeavy]

Elliot nailed this.

[justcallmeDiesel]

Hey man what about oatmeal and yogurt? Are those straight to eat? And also do you have any specific excersises for the sides of your torso? I have these fat pockets on the sides of my chest that i cant seem to get rid of.

[SLITTHROAT13]

I find the vacumm helps but also godo old fashion back extensions too.

[HeroesofGrammar]

Tough Mudder!
