[LordOftheMind]

say any fucking thing you want but this looks ultra ugly

[shakelightly]

@LordOftheMind Any fucking thing you want but this looks ultra ugly. Nothing happened? Should I say it three times like, Beetlejuice?

[J3Wburner6K6K6K]

@shakelightly lol u say ur 5'10" and 165, im 5'10" and 166, i dont know about u but i found that kinda funny, except you've got more muscle... but i'll get a lot better cuz im joining the military

[shakelightly]

@J3Wburner6K6K6K georges st pierre weighs 170 :)

[TheAustralopithicus]

Can body weight exercises alone get me stronger and bigger muscles? E.g if I did pull ups, chin ups, push ups, one legged squats etc but don't use machines, barbells or dumbbells. Would it be sufficient enough to gain muscle mass and strength throughout the body? And would it be just as good as going to the gym and lifting weights? Your answer is appreciated!

[shakelightly]

@TheAustralopithicus you're gonna need to constantly get creative with bodyweight exerciss to continuously get bigger and stronger....so unless you add weights (rocks, weighted vest, sandbags, etc.) you'll need gym equipment. with bodyweight workouts, you'll definitely get/stay fit looking though.

[TheSuperieur]

wtf never thought to train to the park wow I'm dumb...

[WumWip]

if I go to the park and work out my biceps on a kiddie swing set, I'll look like a pedophile.

[midgettosser666]

your bicep looks like a heart with the little dent!

[shakelightly]

@midgettosser666 yeah, my tricep just broke off their engagement....dented, but not heartbroken :P

[tims4567]

thos r ugly

[xNJxD3vilx]

crazy man, I'm trying to build bigger arms. Do you go to a gym at all or do you just work with what you got around the house?

[shakelightly]

@xNJxD3vilx both...mainly gym though---girls at the gym motivate me to workout harder :)

[YoungKosso]

You're a Beast !

[iamcyberpunk68]

nice shape,,,but lacking size big time .

[laurensvl11]

i cant even do 1 of these advice to do that shnizle ? :p

[ddf0dr1v3r2]

off I tried SOOO MANY TIMES Pull-Ups & Chin-Ups ... ... I noticed that MY LATS ARE DISLOCATING DURING PULL-UPS AND IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME :-| THEY ARE EXPLODING ... ... this can Mean that I Have TOO WEAK SHOULDERS FOR DOING PULL-UPS?

or that I am JUST TOO HEAVY FOR DOING THEM ?? does A Big Lower Body really is able TO MAKE PULL-UPS SOO MUCH DIFFICULT ??? off :-|

[InflatedSnake]

Nice video! But I'm not even sure if I want biceps that large...

[shakelightly]

@InflatedSnake thanks...i guess the only pro to having them is when i get too drunk and pass out in some dark alley---they make a good pillow :)

[TheSicDominator]

that is one weirdly shaped bicep

[marinkino]

Be honest, did you ever take steroids?

[shakelightly]

@marinkino honestly....never taken steroids, no growth hormones, only used creatine and protein powder when I first started working out, I enjoy long walks on the beach, candle-lit dinners and my favorite time of year is winter :)

[arnoldnavarro21]

@shakelightly hey man i started about 3 weeks ago i got to 14 and now im back down to 12... do you think its all the fiber ive been taking??? being dehydrated??? did you have the same problem???

[marinkino]

@shakelightly Congratulations man! Then you are a real inspiration, not like those guys on drugs. Thank you for sharing!

[addzrma]

@shakelightly perfect man :D

[clytnjms]

Your funny bro....cheers

[Rotatez]

You have no triceps, or extrmeely small , there a bigger muscle than the bicep and you should train it more than biceps

[SlurpeeP]

amazing form dude, love your videos and @Rotatez - You play runescape, show some videos of yourself before talking smack

[shakelightly]

@SlurpeeP Thanks!! There's a few comments from people on my videos telling me i don't have any triceps and they're all from people who post vids of video games--kinda funny, I'm trying to figure this one out!?!? :)

[Casadosmongos]

This is not the best exercise for biceps as it develeops also the lats dude..

[shakelightly]

@Casadosmongos it works for me and it'll work for other people

[IAmTheWarbringer]

@Casadosmongos If you're trying to work lats your arms should be double shoulder width apart. He's working biceps.

[shakelightly]

@IAmTheWarbringer exactly! thanks for adding this :-)

[droddy2hottie]

@Casadosmongos actually a close underhand grip like that works the biceps a lot more, wide overhand grip works lats more.

[arnoldnavarro21]

@LordDrakull2 man how can you get triceps???

[arnoldnavarro21]

he reminds me of pauly shore... great video you just got yourself a subscriber :D

[shakelightly]

@arnoldnavarro21 thanks!! I LOVE PAULY!! :-)

[gregthesplintercell]

@shakelightly Your videos are amazing. what type of pullups could I do to make my shoulders and lats bigger ?

[shakelightly]

@gregthesplintercell thanks! check out my video -- How To Build Wide Lats & A Strong Back -- that'll definitely help you!!!

[SpazChat]

I so want a body like yours...

[shakelightly]

@SpazChat workout hard, run really fast, eat healthy and you can!

[SpazChat]

@shakelightly , You look like a stallion , even as a nerd. Not fair. I do exercise, and actually my body doesn't look bad, but I want to take it to another level. Sometimes it's hard to keep that discipline with a Starbucks on every corner. I gave up McDonalds, etc a long time ago, but the temptations are everywhere, and managing home life can get hectic at times.

[HollanderT12345]

@shakelightly

Do you do cardio every day and how many minutes? Thanks. Looking awesome :)

[shakelightly]

@HollanderT12345 I try to! Typically 45 minutes to an hour...if you're short on time though, Google: HIIT

[HollanderT12345]

@shakelightly

Sank you :)

[BamaGuy1024]

Awesome biceps/triceps, man you are an inspiration. Superb quality videos that are educational and entertaining at the same time. Very professional. THANKS, more, more, MORE

[shakelightly]

@BamaGuy1024 thank you! more will be coming soon :)

[socalmuscleboi168]

Hey man, I like to know W\when you do chin-ups, is it better to do close-grip or wide-grip or even both? And how many sets and reps would be effective? Thanks.

[shakelightly]

@socalmuscleboi168 both! don't worry about sets/reps....just go until you can't do anymore but don't force the last few

[socalmuscleboi168]

@shakelightly Thanks bro!

[socalmuscleboi168]

Hey man, I like to know W\when you do chin-ups, is it better to do close-grip or wide-grip or even both? And how many sets and reps would be effective? Thanks

[TropicalThunderStorm]

Your an inspiration man, thank you! How long have you been doing these bicep workouts? And do you follow any nutrition guide?

[shakelightly]

@TropicalThunderStorm been working out now, off and on, for 8+ years. i don't follow any nutritional guide...i just believe in eating natural, non-processed foods and consuming under 2,000 calories per day (although on weekends I splurge and go beyond 2,000).

[rrrick30]

Thanks for the secret Shake. You're truly an inspiration!

[3AJBNE]

DAMN !! since I saw this Chanel, i was coming everyday to watch all of his videos !! lol i think this is because of his good shape and this is what i want to be hhhh

[shakelightly]

@3AJBNE thanks!!! include cardio and good eating habits mixed with some hardcore workouts and you can sculpt your body to look any way you want :)

[3AJBNE]

[shakelightly]

[19LastCrusader45]

lol dude ur a pussy

[shakelightly]

@19LastCrusader45 you internet tough guys are adorable!!! :)

[MrEladli]

@shakelightly gotta love you for that response!

[boyceps]

Actually, for abs (especially lower abs) when you do the leg lifts, keep your knees only SLIGHTLY bent and raise your legs as far as you can, then bend your hips up as if you were folding yourself in half.

[shakelightly]

@boyceps cool, thanks!

[boyceps]

@shakelightly Let me how it goes. ;-)

[boyceps]

@boyceps Really. i want to know how it's working for you. i told this to another friend and he had great results.

[Tonyalvarado1962]

Do you go all the way down or you keep elbows bend a little! And how many sets and reps do you do?? And how many times a week you do this?

[shakelightly]

@Tonyalvarado1962 i go all the way...never go for reps, i just do as many as i can. i try and do these every other day :)

[itwaslikethatalready]

doing these increased my bicep strength and mass A LOT! I could only bang out 5 and sometimes 6 with perfect form. I got a long way to go to catch up with you haha. Its the truth though. these work!

[shakelightly]

@itwaslikethatalready awesome....so glad to hear these are working for you. keep going and you'll see a huge difference in a few months! :)

[Tonyalvarado1962]

Thanks! I cam tell you are honest and wasn't to share! That's nice and appreciated! I will do that!

[shakelightly]

@Tonyalvarado1962 thank you! :)

[freddy692000]

Look dude i get it u are an amateur bodybuilder but come on stop with all the bicep videos u know that the to be a true bodybuilder u need huge legs and a good developed back that mean squating and deadlifting not biceps curling ...

[shakelightly]

@freddy692000 i'm not a bodybuilder...i just workout to stay in shape

[GameAwar]

Thank youu soo much, i've been using ur methods and I actully see results in my biceps!!

I LOVE YOU MAN <3!!!!

[shakelightly]

@GameAwar awesome! keep up the hard work! :)

[lyonsss12]

Holy shit!!!! You are a tank!

[TheRogueMonk]

cam you give me the song to this amazing music?

[shakelightly]

@TheRogueMonk i've searched everywhere for the artist with no luck but the song is called Lotus

[TheRogueMonk]

@shakelightly thx

[youyong28]

Do you take steroids or supplements? You look terrific.

[shakelightly]

@youyong28 thanks!! no steroids and the only supplements i take are glutamine, fish oil and glucosamine.

[nightfire4107]

@shakelightly what bout creatine and protein?

[SoulOne94]

Normally people has egg sized biceps but yours is the the size of a rock!! Awesome!!

[shakelightly]

@SoulOne94 ha! thanks! :)

[lovetobike9]

I wasn't around when you first did this. Your arms are really pumped here. Biceps look the biggest of all your vids. Did you ever do the "sculpt the peaks" vid? Which one is it?

[shakelightly]

@lovetobike9 haha funny you brought that up...i'm working on perfecting a certain accent for the sculpt the peaks vid ;)

[zzzsacguy]

you are a fun guy... but your boulder sized bicep is super sweet!

[shakelightly]

@zzzsacguy thanks!!! :o)

[alejonsu]

Thanks for sharing man.

[shakelightly]

@alejonsu :O)

[raslu04]

Thanks for the great info...bet most guys dont realize how effective those pulls and chins really are. Another thing..... "you so crazy".

[shakelightly]

@raslu04 haha thanks...yeah, most people i see just do curls and bench and forget about the pullups

[pad021]

You should never wear a shirt.

[shakelightly]

@pad021 haha but i get cold easily :)

[AmericanGMS]

work your triceps man and your arms will be fucking huge!

[shakelightly]

@AmericanGMS been working on them...doing way more triceps workouts lately than i previously had

[liftrguy]

good work; and i agree with what you say, that changing the challenge changes everything I found the more i challenged the more i got

[shakelightly]

@liftrguy thanks!!! yeah, changing up the routine every now and again is so important :)

[Mastergymnast1]

@liftrguy Super advise!

[amanuelamanuel]

these are great exercises for lats, for biceps there are much better exercices available

[shakelightly]

@amanuelamanuel definitely one of the best for lats but all i really do are pull-ups and chin-ups and some concentration curls so i put this out there cause if it works for me, hopefully it'll work for some others too. thanks for the comment!! :)

[amanuelamanuel]

@shakelightly well it's obvious it worked for you, but what im saying is that different exercises work best for different people, it's not the same for everyone. i never do narrowhanded pull-ups for bicep, just dumbell curls and it works best for me.

[shakelightly]

@Deal2Do thanks....this is my favorite shirt. i have one for every day of the week

[MuscularCruize]

ching chong chinatown

[perry5560]

i think you biceps are amazing ...i would love to feel them

[shakelightly]

@perry5560 thanks...they feel like a ripe orange :)

[mattjm1977]

how big are your biceps?

[shakelightly]

@mattjm1977 i think 16.5?

[theghanastar]

if you can you tell me the name of that japanese song



[shakelightly]

@theghanastar hmm i just did a search and can't find the artist but the song is included in iMovie and the name of it is Lotus

[bicepsr17]

I added the knee ups to my pull up routine and WOW, what a difference a little change made. Thanks for the cool tip "O Great Bicep Master!"

[shakelightly]

@bicepsr17 haha glad to be of assistance! :)

one small tweak in a workout can make a huge difference

[buffedmtl]

BUT WHAT ABOUT BIG TITS MAN!

[armwrestler279]

Great to see you've strength as well as size

[shakelightly]

@armwrestler279 thanks...thought i'd show off just once :)

[yehboman]

Here's the deal. You truly need your own TV show on fitness. Seriously. These videos are REALLY inventive, and they are a LOT of work. Shooting, editing, music..... But the real attraction to these clips is you. You're honestly talented. Charismatic, personable, humorous, you do voices, you're good looking......and those arms. Jesus.

[shakelightly]

@yehboman wow, thanks for that comment!!! :)

i have some more creative vids planned but whether they're ridiculously lame or somewhat decent, I hope they bring a smile to someone's face. Have a good one!!

[lostboysp]

this biceps is a big mountain LOL

[shakelightly]

@lostboysp haha thanks!! :)

[vforeverandever]

Creative master.

[shakelightly]

@vforeverandever thanks V!!! :)

[bonesonlyb4]

wauw

[torkmymercury]

well.... guess who`s going to be doing more chine ups ! your biceps are incredible ! i enjoy all your vids, especially the ones where we "accidently" get a shot of those guns !! YOU ROCK !

[shakelightly]

@torkmymercury haha yeah "accidentally" :) YOU ROCK for watching!!! thanks for the comment!!!

[PacificJoe]

He tells the truth - chin ups are the only bicep exercise that work your entire bicep head. End your workout with 3-4 sets to failure and 3 months from now be proud of your arms!

[shakelightly]

@PacificJoe thanks pacificjoe! you're awesome!!! :)

[attaone]

Copyrights aside. Sure would love to hear a compiliation of your music you love like this..diverse...of course. Of course include some really gritty east coast Philly and my hometown Motown favorites too. I hope you don't mind.

[shakelightly]

@attaone haha if you heard my "workout mix" you might never watch another video of mine again. let's see, i have kenny g, jojo, eminem, earshot, incubus, and the theme song to spartacus as the 6 songs i last listened to.....yeah, talk about eclectic taste in music! :)

[attaone]

@shakelightly - i'll send you my email address. Thanks. Nothin like 'dancin too shakelightly'

[shakelightly]

@97dudeman ...and add cardio!!! CARDIO IS KEY!

[ronnie411]

Do not forget grasshopper that genetics play a major factor in your bicep peaks!!! Great instructional video by the way!!!!

[shakelightly]

@ronnie411 lol, there's no bicep dna in this grasshopper's genes (i couldn't even imagine how big my arms would be if there was)...just years of training....but pull-ups and the curls (21s) help tremendously

[Wulava]

You should earn the title of a Fitness Guru.

I really love that proverb 'cause I can definitely relate.

But it's not just the proverb which I love. It's that arms of yours!

How big is it now?

[shakelightly]

@Wulava hahaha i gotta remeasure soon...i always tell myself i will and then i forget

[HollanderT12345]

I don't do pull-ups YET because I am to heavy for that... and that's why I am on a strict diet now for 20 days and I see already great results. :) youpie :D Anyway, I do push-ups against the wall (normal push ups is a bit difficult for me YET) and that gives me nice triceps and little biceps. So hopefully I can start soon with pull-ups so I can have big biceps muscles like you. :)

[shakelightly]

@HollanderT12345 I'm glad you're doing those push-ups!!! Even if you can't do a pull-up, just hanging, elevated of the ground, will build strength to eventually allow you to lift yourself all the way. Keep up the hard work!! :)

[HollanderT12345]

@shakelightly

Thanks for the advice. I will do that.

[timrain]

Awesome, Entertaining, Educational and Erotic all at the same time

[shakelightly]

@timrain that is a terrific review!!! i love that =)

[timbo1371]

AHH HAA, See told ya ;) Great video. DAMN SHAKELIGHTLY you can teach this ole dog new tricks. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, This thanksgiving I'm thankful for SHAKELIGHTLY

[shakelightly]

@timbo1371 thanks!!!! i think one ole dog might be doing some jumping pull-ups in the future and giving me a run for my money :)

[Intrepid10]

Great vid. - U are so right. Nothing like chin-ups and pull-ups for the biceps. You are evidence of that bud.

[shakelightly]

@Intrepid10 thanks!!! good to get others confirming how well they work!!

[myohmy336]

nice twist with the Japenese music, mountainous peaks. Will bernard be making a video of his first bodybuilding contest?? I will give the pullups a try, how often do recommend incorporating the pullups in a routine? Thanks Bernie..

[shakelightly]

@myohmy336 lol, it depends on how much bernard stuffs his face tomorrow night ;)

i do pull-ups whenever i see something i can do a pull-up on....like in parking garages, they have those pipes that cross like pipe dream within jumping reach....sometimes on level 4, parking lot B, wherever i see em, i'll do a set

[attaone]

Those park swing seats look like jockstraps. Hmmm. My mother told me to never tell a secret. I'm not the outdoorsy kinda workout guy. Thanks for sharing still, shakelightly.

[shakelightly]

@attaone they looked kinda dirty....they have those home pull-up kits you can install inside your house which work good too

[attaone]

@shakelightly - You're Crazy...

[jensexyyy]

I love the music!

And you of course :-)

[shakelightly]

@jensexyyy it's got that sounds of nature vibe to it....but unfortunately i still have the bedopchibop (blanked on the spelling tonight) song stuck in my head THANKS TO YOU!!! :)

[uakronsam116]

nice, you have nice looking calves too, but im still waiting on crushing vids

[shakelightly]

@uakronsam116 haha i'm still working on developing the strength for the crushing vids....my applesauce biceps vid didn't come out like i planned so i gotta start on that one from scratch

[franck31paris]

I really like your videos

they are so funny, and yet, we can enjoy your unbelievable muscled body

Thanks

[shakelightly]

@franck31paris ha thanks! i try and mix it up for those who like the flexing and those who like the tips....i just like being a dork so that comes in almost every vid :P
