[TrizzleProduction]

[lambo5277]

[tiger567333]

SUM 41!

[carl4325]

whats the song at 15.30?

[smcgee1212]

What the name of the song @ 15 50 ?

[MadeOfAdamantium]

Hey Barthel, big fan. I have a problem.. torn lateral meniscus in the knee.. that means i cant squat, cant do any leg extensions.

Now ive heard that it is very important to work out your legs in order to grow cause that releases more testosterone and growth hormones into ur bloodstream.

Since im injured what can I do to compensate?

Will working out just the calves do the trick?

Thanks and keep up the good work:)

[csultzer]

Any chance we will see a workout other than Back!? ahah



[gymtrancerage]

ur gettin massive bruda

[jacobalexander160]

sick traps man! you're a true and inspiring hero, JR. I'm prepping for my first teen show and watching some of these vids definitely give me the motivation to keep on goin'!

[Fredmaster15]

I was just at the outlet like 1 week ago!

[lexington9999]

I was raised in Plymouth Minnesota. Exciting things like the MOA! or the outlet in Albertville makes me so glad I moved away. LOL

[MrNAP30]

question JR...on the lat pull downs does it make a difference if u use the bar you did vs the kind of bar where the handles at the end point down? i have never used the bar you were using before and am wonderig if it targets your lats better?

[MrNAP30]

hell yah JR good shit man keep KILLING IT!

[dabul2003]

i dint realize in the offseason you could eat a little more guilt free? i know you guys cheat more offten but i thought you guys would still eat like brown rice and chickn breasts?

[KaneWrestlingFan999]

Heard "still waiting" by sum 41 while you were in the car, good song for lifting.

[alcaknight]

I want to see more Wolverine!!!! hahaha (:

[AnusOner]

I really like your thoughts and advice on not just the working out, but life in general. You've got a good outlook man I dig it. Keep the workout/diet videos rollin in, and keep up the positive attitude mang, it's mad refreshing to hear. Big ups!

[SolsticeGloves]

i was at 260 and got to 210 in 9months so i know i lost a lilbit of muscle my max was at 365 with benchpess

[SolsticeGloves]

ive been cutting for 5months now i only lifted light wieghts and only used smithbenchpress thats acualy rusted im up to 225x12or 13 im 210 if i start lifting heavy weights and do some x6 lifts would i get more bulkier just cuz ive been cutting for 5months

[socalkiddofa5]

Love the videos man.....and also gotta love the haters that hate on your stuff!!!!

[kewlguy328]

Great vid bro where did u get that shirt?

[barthelfitness]

@kewlguy328 its mine i have some for sale, only a few left and only large!

[kewlguy328]

@barthelfitness I'm talkin about the kgb one

[dennynua]

27 min! jes forgot my popcorn hodge twins do kick ass though followed ter advice cut down on the exercises made way more gains without all that supplments nd stuff too jus caffine nd protein

[Fl1p3x]

LOL 26:48 seriously thats freakin wolverine! :D And he's looking like he's going to kill you while your doing those laterals :D.

[Jcronindream]

yo JR how far away from lake Tahoe Nevada do you live??? We need to lift and make some youtube vids chea hahah

[uglyvision]

Oh yeah I also use Greens in my shake, anyway these people need to watch more of your video's you are always honest about the supps you review and if you don't like it or don't think it's necessary you will say it. But for all you haters take a look at his older videos and look at him now..Barthel put in a lot of hard work, put his diet in check, and yeah he takes supplements and they help but give the guy some credit. He also has a good positive attitude which is great.

[sexybeast25]

Yo JR, great channel and you gotta a lot of great advice. But I gotta say, I think you take waaaaaay too many supplements. I know you mentioned you get hooked up on a lot of them, maybe even all of them by now, but is there a reason you take so many, other than the fact that you get hooked up?

[uglyvision]

Man you have a lot of hater comments, these people haven't been following you long, you always say that you don't need the supplements but they help. If you the intra is working for you then fine, personally I just take a pre and then after my work out I make my own shake with On Whey natural (it has stevia in it) and I use the CGT by On for my creatine. I take a multi, fish oil, and COQ10 and that's it. It helps keep me in shape but its more about diet and working out as you have said.

[chachles]

I really like the style of these videos JR, keep them coming!

[sebbbi91]

wide grip pull ups: less range of motion, less strech, biceps is in a weak position and hard on your rotator cuffs

[thegarbageman21]

Good vid. Whats the song in the mid ?

[samdrum08]

Sum41 playing in the car!! lol

[gamefan519]

twinmuscleworkout hahaha

[TearseFitness]

[spornicu]

[LaserAeroxRacingTeam]

JR can you recommend some universities because I might come to the States with soccer scholarship to play in division I.?

[HomicidalDavid]

You MENTIONED TWINMUSCLEWORKOUT CHANNEL. I just found out about them recently.

There are some great channels about fitness -- seems like everyone knows each other

[merat]

Great vid as usual bro, fck the haters, you do your thing!

[wydget12]

[claudia1515]

Another great video JR.. Hater are just gonna hate cuz they wish they were in your foot steps.. All three of you guys looked great running with now shirts off.. ohh yeahhh.. Love the A-GT been seeing great results having some good healthy meals of course..

[gropied]

Keep doing your thing Barthel!  Thanks for staying very positive and don't give the haters too much attention. Just keep doing you. don't dedicate any time in your videos to address the haters.

[barthelfitness]

@gropied thanks buddy!

[kewlguy328]

@barthelfitness where can i find them?

[aksampras]

Hodge twins and lui marco are better than you, 2/3 of the vid was about shitty supplements and ur barthell fitness codes

[barthelfitness]

@aksampras its barthel dumby! stop watching my videos, i got plenty of other friends who watch my vids! :)

[SuperManbir]

@barthelfitness The Hodge twins have a better body than you.

[Jeffp2k5]

buddy, in taking soo many supplements, how can you truly know the effect of each individual product? every video its a new product so i don't know how you can accurately review them. you have a cocktail of supplements in your system all the time...

[barthelfitness]

@Jeffp2k5 well a pre workout I can tell while i take it...because you feel it....i can tell about the intra by simply reading the label and again...I take it, the no3 once again you can feel it....lol

[BAKPower1]

LOVE SIZE ONNN

[voteforalan]

Do you ever think that supplements will get so effective and so efficient that they replace food altogether?

[barthelfitness]

@voteforalan BIG no!

[barthelfitness]

@voteforalan you still in korea?

[voteforalan]

@barthelfitness Just got back to Korea last week.

[freelocking]

@barthelfitness

it would be nice if you tried it again to take a footage in costco. thx

[killernacho17]

man i respect your hard work, really, you are truly dedicated, but i have seen most of your videos but i dont see any leg workout since you started all the journey episodes

[barthelfitness]

@killernacho17 i do legs next time! normally i train legs alone by myself because there intense! ill try and get one out in the next week or so!

[ClarkDangerDrums]

Sum 41 - "Still Waiting" in the car. Earned my FULL respect.

[RingleaderMane]

I started watching your videos awhile ago and loved him so I had to subscribe, but this seriously was an added bonus for me. Once you said Albertville I said no friggin' way, YOU'RE FROM MINNESOTA TOO?!

[barthelfitness]

@RingleaderMane HELLLLS YEA

[amzmanku]

fuck i wish i could hit the gym with you just once. ( no homo )

[supermanfaithfulll]

[whatduhheddie]

Hey JR! I have my exam tomorrow to become a certified trainer. I came across your channel about a year ago, and I've been inspired ever since. Keep up the good work! And Thanks!

[MrRhodes4life]

[Axethrash]

I'M EATING MY CINNAMON RAISIN EZIKIEL RIGHT NOW !!!! shits delicous. Preworkout = cup of cottage cheese, 3 slices of ezikiel with jam

[SamKindofGuy]

damn the music is loud at that gym.. I dont think theres any point having earphones there. If you wanna listen to your own playlist you should have the volume so high its gonna hurt your hearing.

[sk8ingforever]

at 7:24 I thought it was someone mocking you lol

[Fe2KooL]

haha JR bumpin to D PRIZZYY!!!

[fizwizx]

m5 is horrible, I bought it with your code it was like 80 bucks. But it was a waste of money for me jac3d worked better for me. m5 tastes good the pump is low-moderate, but my shit comes out green, no joke. Maybe it's a personal experience but I wouldn't recommend that product to anyone.

[barthelfitness]

@fizwizx return it, the have a satisfaction gauranteeeee

[214theabbey]

D PRYDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sean2991]

do u have a macbook and a Imac?

[barthelfitness]

@sean2991 mac book

[sean2991]

@barthelfitness I saw the macbook, I was just wondering because I saw the apple mouse and keyboard on your desktop.

[19mojo89]

great video

[dbizzle7353]

The guy with the shaved head(red shirt) has come a long way. I remember him from a leg day some time back from a video. He looks like he put on some good size.

Great video.

[barthelfitness]

@dbizzle7353 he is beasting

[MegaLineman77]

[d123a123n]

[barthelfitness]

[noxpainxnoxglory]

[ryanmoore415]

Trying to build up my back and this video helps alot!! Thanks for the tips bro!!!

[wowimcool27]

hahah connor thats not shoulders. and it looked like fun changing it up with the outside workout.

[IronMikeTyson]

Barthel, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out soon. I've heard you have to take a week off of strenous activity. Will this hinder my gains in the gym?

[RoyWriter]

Sooo, imma try to use your pullup grip on my next back workout.

[audiobrucewayne]

Hey dawg your videos r cool I look foward too them. I started a channel because of u thanks. Keep the positive word up.

[BERGATHLETICS]

Thanks For inviting me to go with!!! You better be here for mah birthday!

[UpalKashey]

you take a buttload of supplements. not judging but you do. lol

[lavelle260]

fucking beast!

[jor1199]

I've always wondered. Is this gym connected in some sort of way to your loft?

[lile2780]

Your amazing bro! :D

[CrownClown510]

do bananas desevre the bad rep they have are they really only good after workout?

[SmexyPC]

looking good barthel and always your sense of humor is the best part hahahahahaha but anyways what is your squat/bench/deadlift right now?

[airforce91795]

i was talkin bout the creatine complex lol but i will definatly give the creatine complex a try (: keep coming out with some good stuff man (:

[cnk454545]

Is there ever anybody else in the gym with you when you workout?

[perfectvelocity]

LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS BRO! i watch them daily and it gets me pumped for my training days and keeps me on my nutrition plan! keepem comming!!!!!!

[PtotheMtotheJ]

Would you ever do sets with reps within the 3-4 range?

[barthelfitness]

@PtotheMtotheJ sometimes, rarely...usually only do that with deadlifts from time to time

[MultiCRUDE]

Message to all Barthel Fitness haters: I dare you all to say what you say on these comment sections to JR's face with two 19inch arms in your face. I dare you.

[barthelfitness]

@MultiCRUDE muahahahahaha

[lramb0SpeCs]

@MultiCRUDE i love jr but just saying here just because ur strong doesnt mean u can fight

[RcKis0]

@MultiCRUDE Lol. They arent 19...

[smwvikings44]

@MultiCRUDE I thought they were 17? :)

[smwvikings44]

@MultiCRUDE. I didn't mean any respect hah I just must've heard wrong

[agu003]

u dont live in america?

[barthelfitness]

@agu003 minnesota is in the usa?

[agu003]

@barthelfitness o well I was wondering cause u'r on the wrong side of the road etc.

[LRMMcDonnell]

white rice, gummy bears, finally people catching onto the iifym concept!

[xScrab311x]

"Thats not shoulders!!," LOL

Great video again.

[BDFitness]

Awesome second vid bro!

[barthelfitness]

@cam44123 they are! I watch their videos, love all aspects just not the supp reviews on products they have never taken

[barthelfitness]

@bondons64 i still got abs. A bit bloated from cake burgers and real people food from bday parties for my awesome 6 year old niece. You should see abs in the next video with some more posing. I try and keep around 10-12 percent off season. I feel ideal here

[southoreast]

@barthelfitness You're looking like you're swelling back up in the post comp era. Keep it up kid. Are you looking to achieve some personal best in the weight room this offseason and how long of a off season do you plan to take? Sorry, I sound like an interviewer, lol! You should take your time and take as long an offseason as you can so you can REALLY swell the f..k up.

[barthelfitness]

@southoreast ill compete again next year summer time. Always trying to make personal best everytime i step in the gym

[325rider]

@bondons64 its called NOT being 5-6 % competition bodyfat anymore in order to condone a muscle building environment for your body. Also, consuming more calories to build said muscle is necessary for fastest/greatest growth.

[325rider]

Nice shout out to twin muscle workout! haha I love those guys too!!! Respect JR :)

[airforce91795]

how long does it take for you complex to digest and get into your system?

[barthelfitness]

@airforce91795 A-GT complex? Creatine Complex? Its almost immediate once brocken down...within 30 minutes

[MrJz95]

i got so hungry watching the start i havnet ate for 2days now

[melkam647]

wow! so now they're making pre-preworkout products. The supplement industry is getting ridiculous!

[barthelfitness]

@melkam647 haha like i said its a good product, but i got it for free. Id tell anyone who is budgeting their money to buy the pre workout....before a no3 product. Most likely wouldnt catch me buying it, thats just me!

[JHDamocles]

Nice vid JR. That M5. How many grams of WMS do you take post workout? And Nick Wright includes a cup of oats with his post workout shake. What is your intake on that? You really do inspire me to work harder and get big. Of to train legs now. :D

Keep making those vids bro

[barthelfitness]

@JHDamocles i get 60-80 grams post workout, if oats works for nick then it works for nick!

[JHDamocles]

@barthelfitness Thanks man. I always take about 75 grams so that is fine. But I thought the oats would be benificial in some way. To bad I can't use the speed extreme because the yohimbe in it is illegale here in Belgium. Are you coming up with a pre workout yourself?

[PhelanReps96]

I am 14 years old, do you think that is too young to start taking A-GT complex?

[1991thechamp]

@PhelanReps96 yes

[barthelfitness]

@PhelanReps96 you could take it, its all natural....make sure your diet is in check as well! Id focus more on the diet though bud!

[PhelanReps96]

@barthelfitness Ok thanks bro! Keep up with all the great vids :D

[d123a123n]

ahah 'wolverine' at the end :')

[lwnsetter4]

conner does whatever THE FUCK HE WANTS TO DO!

[avatarcollides2day]

black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow!!

[sebbbi91]

give rack chins a try. better than pull ups in my opinion. keep hitting it hard!

[tddcmptn]

Great Vid. Love to see all you guys having a good time in the gym and outside.

[barthelfitness]

@tddcmptn its all about having fun!

[orochimaruisugly]

Where can I get some of this A-GT complex

[barthelfitness]

@orochimaruisugly see the link in the more info section

[1991thechamp]

@barthelfitness Do you sometimes train with your client?

[barthelfitness]

@1991thechamp yes

[hifishnpoiboy]

Great Vid!!!

[Oreomeister]

You guys are pretty bro.

[inuysha360]

I KNOW THAT SONG

still waiting - sum 41 XDD

[CampbellFitness]

Great vid as always, nutrition, diet, lifestyle... think you covered it all.

[matteblatte94]

Yo J.R why would you use a fatburner for offseason ?

[barthelfitness]

@matteblatte94 A-GT complex is more then a fat burner, watch my in depth video review on it...thats the beauty of all natural products. it helps with well being, energy, appetite suppressant, even the garcinia cambogia helps the body stoe glycogen as opposed to fat, overall awesome product no matter what your goals are

[tobiizmadara]

thats the same container i use :)
