  1. @xXxjr5xXx You will always be get sore ive trained for 10 years + and still do and if you dont you aint lift heavy enough weight or aint done enough exercises..

  2. @scooby1961 ive been working out real hard for like 2 weeks now nd im already seeing results both visual and strength wise, is that bad? nd what do you do once you dont get sore anymore?

  3. @daram1 you should lift medium weights with 8-12 reps each exercise, cuz if you go to heavy to fast you could hurt yourself.

I also have added features like displaying the targeted muscles in each exercise and a countdown timer. If you like them please sub and share with your friends. Have a good one 🙂

  4. @Strategist2423 yeah 5 days a week with weekends off sounds like a perfect workout plan to me. Anything that is 5 days a week is a good idea.

  7. @gspfan170 the only thing that speeds up any kind of growth is pushing yourself past your limits. So as long as you are working hard you will make it.

  18. ‘As many of you are’? Most people are NOWHERE close to overtraining, and have no idea what it takes. They’re problem just undereating, underresting and underplanning. Real overtraining will leave you in a hospital room (rhabdo). As for purposed rest weeks, stupid idea. If anything, having a deload week.

  19. Hey Scoob! I just got gym membership, I could buy some dumbells and barbells but I live in a dorm that is practically the size of a closet. I don’t like to drink beer but I like the harder stuff (i.e. vodka, sake) will that add extra unnecessary calories?

  20. @scooby1961 scooby i know it doesnt stunt ur growth i have been training for a year now i am 16 but i started doing squats like 6 months ago i got stronger and gone up with the weight. i havent grown in a while i am 5’5’u think the squats have a bad effect on my spine? makes me not get taller? also i havent been gaining in months! i change my workouts i eat 5-6 meals a day i do get stronger but no gains!! can u plz reply to me thanks

  21. @groovybody
    dude i sugest u only go 3 days a week to the gym take the weekends off to stuff ur face and recover this is what i do and i have had great results, as i started only able to bench 30 Kg now im benching 40Kg. granted progress can be slow at times due to illness, and that can even set u back but dont give up u can always work up again. hope this helps 😉

  22. @groovybody Or should I increase protein intake somewhat – I must admit my diet wasnt very focused on that, but as I said I even gained some fat pounds during whole process. RSVP if you dont mind 🙂

  23. Hey Scooby.
    When I started shaping my body [3 months ago] I was able to lift more than I can do now, or at least the same. Since my body mass didn’t drop at all as I havent done much cardio during that time, I’m curious what reason stays behind it.
    I train 60-80 mins 5 days a week [as I’m not very fast person – my ‘drill’ is rather low], plus 2 recovery days during which I take care of minor muscle groups – abs and calves/wrists [takes 30 mins per session]. Will reducing intensity help anyhow?
