00:00:00
all right what's going on everyone want
00:00:01
to welcome you all to the new
00:00:02
fundamental series that I'm going to be
00:00:04
running on this channel for probably the
00:00:06
next couple of months and what I plan to
00:00:07
do is basically cover in this series
00:00:09
what I believe to be the main primary
00:00:12
basics for all of the beginners out
00:00:14
there we're wanting to build muscle and
00:00:17
gain strength and also for those of you
00:00:19
who may not be quite so new to lifting
00:00:21
but maybe haven't yet been able to
00:00:23
really pin down what the true
00:00:24
fundamentals are just because there's so
00:00:26
much information out there now so I'm
00:00:29
basically going to split this up into
00:00:30
five or six videos so we're gonna start
00:00:32
by doing two videos on training then I'm
00:00:35
going to do two or three on nutrition
00:00:37
and the first one is gonna be on how to
00:00:40
build muscle how to diet to build muscle
00:00:41
the second one is going to be on how to
00:00:44
diet to lose fat and then we'll probably
00:00:45
do a third one just on how to diet for
00:00:48
health in general and then we're going
00:00:49
to do a final video one video on
00:00:51
supplementation but for this video we're
00:00:54
actually covering just part one of the
00:00:56
training aspect of this and that's going
00:00:59
to focus mostly on training theory and I
00:01:01
think that that's really important to
00:01:03
understand the basic theoretical
00:01:05
concepts before you can apply them in
00:01:07
the gym and basically build for yourself
00:01:09
a solid training routine and that's what
00:01:12
we're gonna cover in part two before we
00:01:15
get going I also want to quickly plug
00:01:16
Eric Helms's training pyramid series on
00:01:19
here on YouTube this is a fantastic
00:01:21
video series that I've used a lot myself
00:01:23
and I've drawn a lot of inspiration for
00:01:26
this series from so if you guys haven't
00:01:28
seen it I'll have a linked in the
00:01:29
description box below and he does a
00:01:31
fantastic job of laying out all the
00:01:33
scientific literature to do with
00:01:34
building muscle and gaining strength
00:01:36
so it comes highly recommended so though
00:01:38
further ado let's dig into part 1
00:01:41
training Theory the fundamental series
00:01:43
all right so guys as you'll see in my
00:01:45
effort to be mildly original with this
00:01:48
content I decided to set up the training
00:01:50
fundamentals as a ladder so we'll
00:01:54
quickly go through this here at the
00:01:55
bottom you've got sustainability as the
00:01:59
the first rung of the ladder and then on
00:02:01
these two sides the two uprights of the
00:02:03
ladder you have the two components of
00:02:05
sustainability you can think of them as
00:02:07
the pillars of sustainability and they
00:02:09
are safety and enjoyment
00:02:12
then round number two you've got effort
00:02:14
rung three you've got pop which stands
00:02:17
for progressive overload and
00:02:20
prioritization and then up at the top
00:02:22
the fourth rung we have the acute
00:02:24
training variables which we're gonna get
00:02:26
to in part two so this will be covered
00:02:29
in part two of this video so we're gonna
00:02:32
cover all these basics in this video and
00:02:34
then all the acute variables in the
00:02:37
second video which includes things like
00:02:38
training volume intensity rest periods
00:02:41
tempo exercises training splits and all
00:02:44
that stuff
00:02:45
so first let's cover this first up right
00:02:47
over here which is safety
00:02:49
it may sound boring and it is but trust
00:02:52
me if you do neglect it you will regret
00:02:55
it I think down the road
00:02:57
and I think it's really important to
00:02:59
cover safety first especially for all of
00:03:01
our beginner viewers so there are three
00:03:04
means cook with main components I think
00:03:06
- safety within the context of weight
00:03:08
training to build muscle and they are to
00:03:09
have good form to select proper weight
00:03:12
or appropriately selected weights and
00:03:16
then also to ensure adequate recovery so
00:03:18
as far as good form goes basically what
00:03:20
we're talking about here is to control
00:03:22
the negative so you need to have
00:03:24
eccentric control you'll see a lot of
00:03:27
people say doing a bench press they'll
00:03:29
allow the weight to just basically fall
00:03:31
down and then rely on the assistance of
00:03:33
their spotter to get the weight up that
00:03:35
is not good form with good form you want
00:03:37
to control the eccentric which is
00:03:39
typically around a two-second count for
00:03:42
the negative or at least be lowering it
00:03:43
under your own control not under the
00:03:47
control of gravity to control the
00:03:48
negative and the other aspect of good
00:03:50
form is to have a full range of motion
00:03:53
I'm so doing quarter reps half reps well
00:03:56
they can't have their place I think that
00:03:58
for beginners you want to focus on
00:03:59
taking the movement through the full
00:04:01
range of motion properly selected
00:04:03
weights refers to not using weight
00:04:06
that's too heavy also not using weight
00:04:08
that's too light this can be a little
00:04:10
difficult for beginner to find out you
00:04:12
may have to use some trial and error to
00:04:14
figure out what an appropriate weight is
00:04:16
for you general rule of thumb for
00:04:18
beginners we have the two for two rules
00:04:21
so this basically means if for two weeks
00:04:25
in a row you can perform two more reps
00:04:29
on your last set of a given exercise and
00:04:33
it's time to increase the weight so
00:04:35
let's just say as an example you're
00:04:37
doing three sets of ten on the bicep
00:04:38
curl and you're using 20 pounds let's
00:04:42
say you complete that tenth rep for the
00:04:45
first week you or rather you're supposed
00:04:47
to do three sets of ten but you can
00:04:48
easily do twelve reps or you can do 12
00:04:51
reps then the next week you find that
00:04:53
you can do 12 reps again it's now time
00:04:55
to increase that that weight for your
00:04:58
three sets of ten if that makes sense
00:04:59
the third aspect of safety is ensuring
00:05:02
adequate recovery and there are several
00:05:04
facets to this the first being ensuring
00:05:06
that you have adequate rest days so for
00:05:09
beginners here I recommend one day on
00:05:13
one on and one off this of course will
00:05:17
be individual but let's just say you're
00:05:18
running an upper lower split you can
00:05:20
train upper body rest for a day lower
00:05:23
body rest for a day and then repeat that
00:05:25
cycle through that's a great example for
00:05:27
beginners and this just ensures that
00:05:29
their joints and ligaments your soft
00:05:32
tissues as well as your muscles
00:05:33
themselves are recovering in between
00:05:35
those sessions this is going to be very
00:05:37
individual so for example people with
00:05:39
maybe more of an athletic background and
00:05:40
certainly get away with a higher
00:05:41
training frequency than this and that's
00:05:44
why I think it's important to listen to
00:05:46
your body so if you're noticing that
00:05:49
you're a little more sore than usual
00:05:50
maybe you have a little more aches and
00:05:52
pains and you typically have I think
00:05:54
it's important to listen to that
00:05:56
feedback and if you're especially
00:05:57
feeling any injurious pain where you
00:06:01
think you're at an increased risk of
00:06:02
injury I think it's especially important
00:06:04
to take a big picture long term approach
00:06:07
to this and consider just taking an
00:06:09
extra rest day allowing yourself to heal
00:06:12
up or maybe just doing some light cardio
00:06:14
or something like that to allow yourself
00:06:16
to recover sleep is another really
00:06:17
important aspect of recovery I think
00:06:19
that this is undermined quite a lot
00:06:21
amongst trainees especially those of us
00:06:23
who are really busy however I think the
00:06:25
scientific literature has strongly shown
00:06:28
that getting seven to eight hours of
00:06:29
sleep per night is significantly better
00:06:32
for both performance and body
00:06:33
composition than just getting five to
00:06:35
six hours per night so if you can get
00:06:38
those extra couple of hours I think it's
00:06:40
definitely a good idea and it's
00:06:42
definitely going to help out your
00:06:43
progress in the gym on a side note there
00:06:45
is some evidence to support that
00:06:47
sleeping even more so say nine to ten
00:06:50
hours per night will improve athletic
00:06:52
performance particularly in the case of
00:06:54
sprinters whether or not this will
00:06:56
translate into improved body composition
00:06:59
or strength and hypertrophy gains I
00:07:02
think remains to be seen but the bottom
00:07:04
line is is if you can squeeze in more
00:07:06
sleep it certainly is a way to improve
00:07:08
your recovery and expedite your progress
00:07:10
the fourth aspect to recovery I think is
00:07:12
nutrition and this is a topic we're
00:07:15
gonna get to in another video so I'll
00:07:17
save that for that so this is the first
00:07:19
pillar we've got safety and now we're
00:07:23
gonna get into enjoyment all right so
00:07:25
guys the second pillar of sustainability
00:07:27
we have enjoyment and the reason why I
00:07:30
bring up enjoyability of training so
00:07:33
early on here is because it's been my
00:07:34
experience that people who enjoy their
00:07:38
training tend to stick to their programs
00:07:40
better so they tend to be more adherent
00:07:42
and not only that they also tend to push
00:07:45
themselves harder on their training
00:07:47
program so I think that a lot of
00:07:49
beginners are really chasing that
00:07:51
perfect optimal training program that's
00:07:53
going to get them or the results as
00:07:55
quickly as possible and I don't think
00:07:57
there's anything necessarily wrong with
00:07:59
that mindset but I think that if we're
00:08:01
gonna focus on sustainability we really
00:08:03
do need to take a big-picture long-term
00:08:06
approach and I think that in order for
00:08:07
that to be really truly successful for
00:08:09
most people you really do have to enjoy
00:08:12
your training on some level now I know
00:08:14
some people really don't like training
00:08:16
at all and there's probably nothing
00:08:17
that's going to make them really enjoy
00:08:19
weight training and for those people you
00:08:22
may want to think of it as designing
00:08:23
yourself a routine that's just gonna
00:08:26
suck less and one simple way to do this
00:08:28
is just by making your workouts more
00:08:30
are efficient so basically you want to
00:08:33
focus on minimizing say the number of
00:08:36
exercises that you can do so one simple
00:08:38
way to do that would be by focusing on
00:08:40
doing compound exercises squats
00:08:42
benchpress presses deadlifts movements
00:08:46
that are going to involve a lot of
00:08:47
muscle mass and basically optimize your
00:08:49
time investment or minimize your time
00:08:51
investments in the gym rather than doing
00:08:53
a ton of isolation exercises where you
00:08:56
have to do so many different movements
00:08:57
that your workout takes a lot longer you
00:09:00
also may want to consider doing safe
00:09:01
full-body training where you may only
00:09:03
have to be in the gym two or maybe three
00:09:05
times a week rather than say you know
00:09:07
four maybe five times a week like you'd
00:09:09
see on a split routine ultimately I
00:09:11
think that enjoyability is very
00:09:14
important for having a sustainable
00:09:16
approach to your training over time and
00:09:18
a lot of this is going to come down to
00:09:20
personal preference and personality and
00:09:22
to important points I'd like to bring up
00:09:24
here are the idea of variety and
00:09:27
consistency in my experience especially
00:09:30
my coaching experience I've noticed that
00:09:31
a lot of people really do like to switch
00:09:33
things up quite frequently it keeps
00:09:35
their Trent their training more
00:09:36
interesting and it keeps them having a
00:09:38
higher level of enjoy ability with their
00:09:40
training and I think that that's okay on
00:09:42
the other hand you have other people who
00:09:44
really like to have a more regimented
00:09:46
training plan where the exercises and
00:09:48
the sets and you know the reps are more
00:09:50
or less the same week to week and they
00:09:52
can just clearly track their progress
00:09:54
increase you know the weight on the bar
00:09:56
week to week and that's very motivating
00:09:58
for them and they enjoy that approach in
00:10:00
practice I think most people will
00:10:01
probably benefit from some kind of blend
00:10:03
of this approach where you have some
00:10:05
flexible components to your training
00:10:07
program maybe there are certain
00:10:08
exercises you switch in and out week to
00:10:10
week but you also have some level of
00:10:13
consistency where you have those main
00:10:14
core movements that are staying the same
00:10:16
week to week so you can clearly track
00:10:18
your progress how much is something
00:10:20
we're gonna get to once we get to the
00:10:22
third run another thing that I'd like to
00:10:23
bring up here is the bro stuff so this
00:10:26
includes things like drop sets super
00:10:29
sets maybe some sports reps these
00:10:32
techniques that guys just really find to
00:10:34
be fun in the gym and
00:10:37
can sometimes get a bad rap from some
00:10:39
members of the scientific community and
00:10:40
I'm assuming that's because they can
00:10:42
sort of detract from a general focus on
00:10:44
progression however in my experience
00:10:47
this can make training a lot more
00:10:49
enjoyable these methods do have some
00:10:51
empirical support and so I see nothing
00:10:53
wrong with doing some things like you
00:10:55
know drop set super sets occasionally as
00:10:57
long as that doesn't take the central
00:10:58
focus of your routine basically in my
00:11:01
experience this is a way to make your
00:11:02
training a little bit more enjoyable and
00:11:04
then a final point here is I'd like to
00:11:05
distinguish between optimal and
00:11:07
practical and I've just alluded to this
00:11:09
a little bit earlier but basically I
00:11:11
find a lot of beginners are really
00:11:12
looking for that most optimal routine
00:11:14
whereas I think that in practice you
00:11:16
should be looking for a practical
00:11:18
routine it's going to allow for
00:11:19
sustainability over the long term and if
00:11:22
you can do that and keep the rest of the
00:11:25
the latter in mind then you're gonna see
00:11:27
a lot of progress even if it may not be
00:11:30
the single most optimal thing in theory
00:11:34
okay so that's gonna wrap up
00:11:35
sustainability we've covered safety and
00:11:38
enjoyment so once you have a routine set
00:11:40
up that is going to be sustainable now
00:11:42
it's time to apply effort so that's what
00:11:45
we're gonna get into next okay so guys
00:11:47
the next rung of the ladder is effort
00:11:49
and basically what I mean by effort is
00:11:52
you're working hard enough when you're
00:11:55
training and the reason that I rank this
00:11:57
so early on in the ladder is because I
00:12:00
see so many people like I've said who
00:12:03
are chasing that optimal routine but
00:12:05
they're just simply not pushing
00:12:06
themselves hard enough in the gym and I
00:12:10
did a video with my girlfriend Stephanie
00:12:12
on the channel about this and I'll just
00:12:14
link it up here in the cards somewhere
00:12:16
if you haven't seen it but the main
00:12:18
finding was that so many people who are
00:12:21
training in the gym basically just
00:12:23
aren't pushing themselves hard enough I
00:12:24
think to see significant hypertrophy
00:12:27
gains and people are leaving way more
00:12:29
reps in the tank than I think they
00:12:31
should be and in that study I think they
00:12:36
basically found that I think something
00:12:38
like 20% of trainees were leaving 10
00:12:42
reps or more in the
00:12:45
on the bench press and so this is just
00:12:47
not enough exertion I think to see
00:12:50
significant hypertrophy even if the rest
00:12:53
of the stuff is designed in in the most
00:12:55
scientific and most optimal way so I
00:12:59
think that you need to to work hard you
00:13:01
need to have a mindset that's going to
00:13:02
allow you to go in the gym and put in
00:13:04
that work and in all of my training
00:13:07
experience as an athlete and as a coach
00:13:09
I've never really come across a routine
00:13:12
that's so optimal on paper that it can
00:13:15
allow you to get away with having to put
00:13:18
in the work so I think that is a general
00:13:21
guideline you basically I don't think
00:13:23
want to be leaving a whole lot more than
00:13:25
three maybe four reps in the tank for
00:13:28
most of your sets so basically what this
00:13:30
means is you think you could have gotten
00:13:33
three more reps with a certain weight so
00:13:36
let's just say you're doing a bicep curl
00:13:38
let's say you go to two fifteen reps and
00:13:41
then you can't possibly crank out that
00:13:45
sixteenth rep that would mean that you
00:13:46
have no reps left in the tank if you
00:13:48
were to stop at rep 12 that would
00:13:51
basically mean you have three reps in
00:13:52
the tank I don't think that all sets
00:13:56
should be taken to failure I think that
00:13:59
failure training should be reserved for
00:14:01
specific circumstances and those
00:14:04
circumstances are here so I think that
00:14:06
training to failure meaning you can't
00:14:08
get another rep even if you tried should
00:14:11
be saved for basically your last set of
00:14:13
the last exercise for a given body part
00:14:17
so let's say you're doing chest training
00:14:19
and you've got the flat bench press and
00:14:21
let's say the incline dumbbell fly to do
00:14:24
you wouldn't take any of the benchpress
00:14:26
sets to failure you would probably leave
00:14:28
at least you know two maybe three reps
00:14:30
in the tank and then once you get to the
00:14:33
dumbbell fly you would leave reps in the
00:14:36
tank until your final set and then you
00:14:38
would take that one to failure and this
00:14:41
actually doesn't need to happen I see
00:14:43
this actually probably more so as in an
00:14:45
intermediate technique you could always
00:14:47
be leaving a few reps in the 10
00:14:49
but as long as you're getting within
00:14:51
that certain threshold close to failure
00:14:53
which isn't clearly defined but it's
00:14:55
probably somewhere around three reps
00:14:57
left in the tank then I think you're
00:14:58
pushing yourself sufficiently hard I
00:15:00
think that failure set should be saved
00:15:02
for isolation work
00:15:04
so basically heavy compound movements
00:15:07
things like squats overhead presses
00:15:09
bench presses deadlifts you shouldn't
00:15:12
really be training to failure where you
00:15:14
couldn't get another rep on those I
00:15:15
think you should save it for isolation
00:15:17
movements so these are single joint
00:15:19
movements things like bicep curls tricep
00:15:21
extensions lateral raises things like
00:15:24
that and especially machine exercises
00:15:27
things where you don't run the same risk
00:15:28
of injury if you were to actually fail
00:15:30
and then if you are doing compound
00:15:33
exercises and approaching failure I
00:15:35
think it's important to have a spotter
00:15:38
just in general and this ties in of
00:15:40
course with with the whole safety pillar
00:15:43
of the ladder this is basically the
00:15:45
second rung here you have to apply that
00:15:47
effort in an appropriate way
00:15:49
that Doug and doesn't mean that all sets
00:15:52
have to be taken to failure and you
00:15:53
always have to go balls to the wall but
00:15:55
in my experience a lot of people
00:15:57
including a lot of beginners once they
00:16:00
have you know their form mastered and
00:16:02
they've set themselves up on a sort of
00:16:04
routine that is enjoyable or at least
00:16:06
they have enjoyment of the routine in
00:16:08
mind so that they can sustain their
00:16:10
program over time I think now it's a
00:16:12
time to get that mindset locked in where
00:16:15
you're going to be willing to apply that
00:16:17
effort once you get your routine set up
00:16:19
in place all right so now we're ready to
00:16:22
apply effort it's time to move on to P o
00:16:25
P which stands for progressive overload
00:16:27
and prioritization so we're gonna get
00:16:30
into that next okay so guys on the next
00:16:32
rung we've got P o P in the stands for
00:16:34
progressive overload and prioritization
00:16:36
so progressive overload basically means
00:16:39
that you're doing more overtime
00:16:42
typically this will come in the form of
00:16:44
doing more weight or more reps and this
00:16:48
is the way people usually think of
00:16:50
progressive overload so if you're doing
00:16:52
let's say 100 pounds on the bench press
00:16:55
in week one
00:16:57
doing 105 pounds on the bench press Envy
00:17:00
2 for 10 reps each 10 reps and 10 reps
00:17:04
that would be progressively overloading
00:17:07
the weight if you're doing 100 pounds
00:17:11
the first week and then 100 pounds the
00:17:14
second week but you're doing 10 reps the
00:17:17
first week and you do an extra rep so
00:17:19
you do 11 reps in the second week that
00:17:21
would be a form of progressive overload
00:17:23
and I think that this really is what's
00:17:26
driving progress in training if there's
00:17:28
no progressive overload in place you're
00:17:30
probably not going to see much
00:17:32
hypertrophy or you're certainly not
00:17:34
going to optimize your your progress and
00:17:36
this is the I think what's mostly wrong
00:17:38
with the whole muscle confusion concept
00:17:41
where you have people changing things up
00:17:43
so frequently that they lose sight of
00:17:45
any kind of progressive overload now I
00:17:47
will say this isn't the only way to
00:17:49
progressively overload with weight and
00:17:51
reps you can also overload in actually a
00:17:54
bunch of other creative ways and I've
00:17:56
linked a good article on this in the
00:17:57
description box below if you'd like to
00:17:59
read it but quickly you can also
00:18:00
overload efficiency one way to do this
00:18:03
would be to maybe use the same weight
00:18:05
and use even the same reps but you just
00:18:09
sortin your rest period between those
00:18:11
sets so say instead of resting maybe 2
00:18:14
minutes between sets you dressed only a
00:18:17
minute and a half and as such you're
00:18:20
making your workout shorter and you're
00:18:22
also making it a little bit harder
00:18:23
because you don't have quite as much
00:18:25
time for recovery between sets that's
00:18:27
one way to apply overload you can also
00:18:30
overload exertion so one way to do this
00:18:33
would be by say slowing down the tempo
00:18:35
of the movement so say you're doing 100
00:18:38
pounds here in week 1 and we - still
00:18:41
doing 100 pounds but now you're
00:18:43
controlling the negative a little bit
00:18:45
better so maybe instead of having a 1
00:18:48
second negative now you have you know a
00:18:50
second and a half or a 2 second negative
00:18:51
and that's something that you can't
00:18:53
necessarily measure quite that closely
00:18:55
and I don't think you need to but
00:18:57
certainly I think you can overload full
00:19:00
or overload lifting tempo in this way
00:19:04
as long as some overloading stimulus is
00:19:06
in place I think you've got the main
00:19:09
thing covered so prioritization I
00:19:12
covered here mostly because it creates a
00:19:14
neat acronym that's fit to make pop
00:19:17
wrong over here but I do think it is a
00:19:20
very important thing that a lot of
00:19:22
beginners don't realize or they tend to
00:19:26
neglect the importance of it and it ties
00:19:28
in very closely to the concept of
00:19:30
specificity but the main idea here is
00:19:32
that you want to prioritize according to
00:19:36
what your goals are so if your goal is
00:19:38
to increase your bench press then you
00:19:40
need to put a focus in your training on
00:19:42
increasing your bench press it sounds
00:19:45
very commonsensical but you'd be
00:19:47
surprised at how many people run just
00:19:49
generic bodybuilding routines but then
00:19:52
they may talk to me and say that they
00:19:53
really just want to improve their bench
00:19:55
or they want to improve the size of
00:19:56
their homes and so depending on what
00:19:58
your goal is is really gonna dictate
00:20:00
what it is that you do up here and I
00:20:03
think that in order to really hone in on
00:20:05
those goals you just have to get very
00:20:06
specific now in practice one way to do
00:20:09
this I think is bribe by prioritizing
00:20:11
what it is you're trying to develop and
00:20:14
so the simplest way to do that is by
00:20:16
training it early or first in the
00:20:19
training session let's just say you have
00:20:21
a lagging chest on your upper body days
00:20:23
it might be a good idea to train your
00:20:25
chest first because we have a lot of
00:20:28
research showing that you're stronger
00:20:30
earlier in the workout so that's one way
00:20:32
to prioritize you can also prioritize by
00:20:35
training that thing that's most
00:20:37
important for you to develop early in
00:20:39
the training week so maybe after a
00:20:41
weekend say you've had that chance to
00:20:43
recover if your chest is your weak point
00:20:45
hit your chest
00:20:46
earlier in the week after a rest day or
00:20:49
you know if you have general fitness
00:20:51
goals but maybe your primary goal is to
00:20:53
build your chest you may want to at
00:20:55
least space at apart from say a heavy
00:20:58
leg day so that you're not feeling
00:20:59
really fatigued going into that chest
00:21:01
workout so those are just a couple
00:21:03
examples of how you can apply
00:21:05
prioritization through the principle of
00:21:07
specificity
00:21:08
and that's really all I have to say
00:21:09
about pop progressive overload is I
00:21:13
believe the single most important factor
00:21:15
driving hypertrophic adaptations and so
00:21:19
this is a very very important one and
00:21:21
once that's in place now we can start
00:21:24
talking about things like training
00:21:26
volume training intensity training
00:21:28
frequency exercises lifting tempo rest
00:21:33
periods training splits and all that
00:21:35
good stuff and so we're going to cover
00:21:36
that in part two of the fundamentals
00:21:39
