Body Building Progress

[rich0292]

I know that this is an old video but I would direct you to the website Scoobysworkshop which gives advice on how to work out cheaply at home.

It gives begginer, intermediate and advanced routines as well as a pretty active forum. I don't buy in to the low fat diet bull as I don't believe it is healthy or natural but the other content I found incredably usefull.

[fiandrhi]

Actually, this did encourage me, thanks. I'm spending some time looking up stuff about body building online today, and your experience seeing results in such a short time was encouraging.

[topheramazz]

GET THE IRON FEVER!!!!!!

[soapmode]

Nice one, hope you're still working out. Can't believe the negative comments on here (PS Mustnotread, to call someone ugly and then go on to accuse them of 'buying into' the culture's beauty paradigm is as contradictory as it is hypocritical; those are contingent value judgments).

[JustinO688]

yea that got me motivated....

[Rees49]

keep at it matey, good luck to you

[MustNotRead]

sad to see such an ugly fucker buying into the mainstream cultural ideal of "beauty and health". it's like putting a 3 legged horse in the Grand National - it can't win!

[XOmniverse]

@MustNotRead Wow, you're a fucking dick. Blocked!

[bulleuston76]

@MustNotRead Wow what must you think of yourself to say this about others!!! Terrible mate...

[tejhim]

To anyone hating this guy you suck.

He's an honest intelligent person who is making goals for himself and trying to live a better healthier life. Nothing wrong with what he's doing and there is nothing sad here except more peoples willingness to hate on and insult someone they are jealous of

[MustNotRead]

@tejhim

do you actually _believe_ that pumping 200lbs weights for 2 hours a day at a gym and running on a hamster wheel are HEALTHY and good for the human body? you think that level of intense gruelling abuse is good for the human body?

get a clue, dumbass.

[tejhim]

I don't know why I clicked on this, was watching your response to the Venus Project. Anyway, you don't want to be too defined and ripped. It isn't as healthy as having a bit of muscle mass with the right amount of fat. Fat is healthy for anyone, too much or too little is a bad thing though and everyones body is different.

People who tend to be ripped are either scrawny or they are trying way too hard and hurting themselves.

[tty12345]

dont listen to these haters. keep up the good work and make small goals. loosing fat and gaining muscle is very hard, your going to see some quick gains as you mentioned, but soon that goes away and it becomes much harder. good luck!

[Dominionlord]

nice armpits, u made me jelous :(

orange ftw! aight? i got black/brown :-D

[yeltsinscabride]

hey, keep it up, you might get a knob bob from a dirty asian hooker

[rileydevoy10]

this guy is just plain sad.

[nonSteel]

haha, i know right?

[itstellabitch]

GET HUGGED IN A POSTOFFICE FOO' ; D

[BrinanaKatana]

Please, next time you type something into mysterygoogle, be more creative and at least ask how my day is going. It's just common courtesy.

[moopinmypoop]

Id love to rub peanut butter on my stomach and shave your head right above it. mmmmm

[ahileo]

I would like to say hello to you

[ThatKyleKid22]

mystery google told me to tell you your not

[peaceAID]

you are sexy,

mystery google mission is now complete!

[neosho52]

mystery google = success.

[Blair0The0Cat]

Oooooo yah, Sexeh.

[moshbydefault]

You are beautful in your own way.

You are not hot, your hair is tho! :) you are CUTE however

[AlyxArsenic]

Just responding to Mystery Google, here. No. You are not hot. :)

[Clocksworthbunnie]

I agree with AlyxArsenic, sorry.

Mystery Google Mission complete.

[weegmaster]

way to go man. I just stumbled upon ur vid and just wana say well done for choosing to get fitter and doing sumthing about it!

[NoMorFear]

If you want to lose weight, go on a starvation diet and do tons of cardio. Then start eating healthy with a low carb, low fat diet, maintain cardio and workout with high reps lower weight.

If you want to build up bulkiness and maintain lean muscle, which will probably be good considering your body type, eat healthy, high carbs for energy, low fatty foods, and lift heavier with more reps.

Keep it up!

[muta157]

do you keep a food journal?

[xychr0]

Keep up the good work man, and I'm glad for you - inspiring, but next time get a 'before' pic for the 'after' pics!

[IrminC]

lol keep it up.

I'm a personal trainer if you have any questions.

[ModelAnarchist]

Keep up the good work buddy; don't let haters discourage you; and fuck supplements, that stuff is as bullshit as the concept of the state.

It takes a long time, so have patience. Do NOT judge your progress by your looks; 1. it can get discouraging; 2. it is not objective

Judge progress by measurable things such as the weight you re able to do. Your goal should be to do more weight than you did last week.

ALWAYS USE QUANTITATIVE MEASURES

For real good results you'll have to clean up your diet

[XOmniverse]

What exactly makes my beliefs "feminized"?

[kingd1ngl1ng]

oh ya. most def king of all douchebags.

[Akhiloth]

I agree.

[bravotu]

Sober-Up Yet ?

Off the 'weed'?

[kulza23]

I recommend checking out Crossfit - definitely the sickest fitness community I've seen.

[JoshRuin9878]

You are one ugly cunt!

[LifeOfRice]

pwnt

[bulleuston76]

@JoshRuin9878 What a really fucked comment x 45! Three years on I hope you've matured to the point of regret...

[tangldmojo]

Keep it up bro. Guy said just a minute ago that diet is important. Can't be overstated. No matter who you are (and yes, some people will respond far better to training than others), at this stage the proper balance of protein and fast burning carbs will make all the difference. I suggest 40 grams of protein and 160 g of glucose, sucrose & fructose at about 2:1:1 within 15 minutes of ending a weight training session. Also, no fats for at least 3 hours after. No room here- message me for reasoning

[rickyPG]

Diet is going to be important also. Most bodybuilders go to 5 meal a day eating plan. You will need ample amounts of protein and good fats such as nuts, olive oil, coconut oil. Do some research and you will see what I mean. Keep it up you are doing a great job and looking good.

[ewops]

I can attest to what you are talking about. I've been exercising since my teens. Most of my smart friends seem to be allergic to exercise. It's good to see that you are still motivated by your progress. Exercise is a life long activity like brushing your teeth. Keep up the good work with your new lifestyle X.

[Agretalien]

Good to see the geeks (I include myself) are making an effort to get the girl, kill the dragon and look good in Armani.

Negatives, Plyometrics, forced reps, supersets and a whip...my kind of country...fetch the oil!!

[jamiegiven]

I would recommend that you keep a training log of some sort, to track your progress. In that you could include such things as exercise, weight used and repetitions. You may also want to weigh yourself each week and take measurements at different points around the body waist, hips, biceps, quads etc..

tip* if your goal is to gain arm size don't neglect the triceps big peaks on the biceps are great but the triceps are the largest muscle in the arms.

[demonique666]

holy crap, you are in better shape. I've left for 6 months and came back, so I can see the difference drastically.

[tommasfoolery]

good job dude.

[Dudex58]

well spiritual connection and body building are the same,you need to will yourself to go on,and will is power to gaining strength and knowlegde if you don't have will,you will never surpass

[RyuuKyuzo]

You could always sub a user named "scooby1961" (assuming you haven't already). I've learned alot from him.

[BWF89]

A couple of months ago I was working out (punching bag, running on treadmill while holding gallons of laundry detergent, other exercises) with one of my friends. But we're no longer friends and I've since stopped working out because I don't have anyone else to do it with so it won't be extremely boring.

[machaeroguy]

Kudos. You've a very good mind, obviously. It's important for every person to embrace both his/her mind and body, in this limited existence.

[Vinifera7]

I've heard that the best way to lose body fat by increasing metabolism and cardiovascular activity is by doing intervals of sprinting for about 15 seconds then walking for about a minute and a half. If you do that about 10 times three times a week you can increase your health and metabolism, which in turn helps to speed up fat burning.

I wouldn't really know for sure though, since I haven't disciplined myself enough to do it.

[fucksatanism]

Free tickets to the gun show.

[DotPaulish]

Nice work man. Be sure to do your high intensity cardio to get your metabolism revved up.

[seigneurvoland666]

keep it up dude

[Beethovens7th]

I've got some questions for ya:

1. Have you been reading anything on the arthurjonesexercise website? Mentzer (an Oist) is great, but Jones came first and when it comes to exercise knew a lot more.

2. How often are you working out?

3. Do you do full-body routines or split routines?

4. How did your first HIT workout feel (I remember mine, it nearly killed me)?

5. How long are your workouts (both in terms of time and # of exercises)?

BTW, every lb of muscle you gain increases...

[Beethovens7th]

...your calorie burning by about 75-100 cals per day. There are 3500 cals in a lb of fat, so if you gain just 5 lbs of muscle (a decent gain, but nothing too extraordinary) you're already burning almost 1 lb of fat more than you otherwise would have per week (5 x 100 x 7 = 3500).

[XOmniverse]

1. A little but not as much as I need to.

2. Once or twice a week. It depends on my schedule.

3. Full body routines.

4. I think it took over an hour to start to feel like I was recovering from it. I was queasy and breathing a little heavy.

5. I try to keep them between 20 and 30 minutes, and between 8 and 12 exercises.

[Beethovens7th]

1. Well do whatever you have time for. Beyond just exercise, the guy had a fascinating life and there's some interesting stuff on that website just about that.

2. Good.

3. Good.

4. Good.

5. Good!

[Beethovens7th]

Awesome! Good for you man.

Be careful though about the shirtless YT videos, I got a comment from some gay dude who wanted to "suck my tit." Blehhhhhh....

[GlennRebReturns]

LOL! What an asshole that guy was.

[Wonderbread167]

XOmniverse, congratulations, man. It's a great feeling seeing progress from working out. When you say high intensity routines, are you referring to HIT, the routine espoused by objectivist bodybuilder Mike Mentzer? If you're not familiar with him, you should look him up, as it's a nice tie-in to your channel.

[g0at]

take pictures of yourself naked, and hide them. Check them out in about 2-3 months ( not once before then though). Compare!

[Hatchyack]

One thing that really helps is to alternate between static lifting and dynamic lifting each workout session. Static is lifting very heavy weight (90-100 percent of your max) very slowly for one or two reps. Dynamic is lifting lighter weight (about 50 percent of your max) for a few reps VERY quickly, like blasting it up. My bench press goes up about 10 lbs a week when I do this routine.

[mcphilthy]

Way to go man. Funny, I started my own regimen around the same time. My initial goal was to lose weight which I've seen some good results on; hope I can up the muscles ala you!

[spayce99]

Cool man, keep at it.

[elves76]

when you start to work out, you'll gain alot of muscle. But after a while, you'll come to the point where you'll have problems gaining them.

At that point it's important to not give up. You have to redisign and reshape your routines, experiment with different methods, eat better/more, etc etc etc. So remember that if lack of progress occur.

[Moragauth]

I'm not so much body-building as trying to get toned again after the Summer. I'm naturally slim but I put on weight around my stomach as easily as I lose it.

[Cailwyn]

I started lifting about a year ago, and it's really suprising how fast you bulk up. It really isn't as dificult as you'd think, and the benefit is ten-fold. Way to go!

[D4Shawn]

Guns don't kill people. XOmniverse's arms kill people.

[momerath42]

I picked my current apt in part because of the 24hr exercise room, but 3 months in I've only been in there once. This video feels (at least right now) like just the kick in the pants I need to get started. Thanks.

[FullOfFail]

I exercise my penis everyday... been doing it for years now...

[XOmniverse]

Good for you I guess :P

[Sepero1]

I think you got FullOfFail excited when you said, "and the muscles that have been growing down there continue to get larger". 1:45 lol

[XOmniverse]

I didn't mean my penis. I meant my abs, glutes, etc. All of my fat tends to gather in the middle of my body.

[jamiegiven]

oh yah! thats sounds like intelligent design to me. Get all that body fat in one place so it aint in two places. SWEET!

[AndrewA64]

@XOmniverse that's a typical disposition for men.

[FullOfFail]

Shall I say it's cock-diesel :P

[Moragauth]

And how does that work, for you, exactly?

[Father0Blivion]

my guess is he's doing cock push ups

[Moragauth]

I thought he meant something like that, but it sounds more like an allusion to something else...

[Person009]

You're super sexy!!

[TheScrewOnHead]

Good to take care of yourself, keep it up.

[overmind25]

HAHA! 5 stars.
