*“FAST ACTION” Q&A* - The following 10 questions from the first 2 hours of this video’s release have been answered! If you want your questions answered, remember to leave a comment with your question in the first 2 hours of a video release for a chance to have me answer you directly. I appreciate all the awesome questions and I hope these help more than just the people who asked them! *1. Anant Lamba: What training options would you use for increasing single-leg stability and strength work in tandem with the posterior chain, specifically the glutes and lower back?* Two of my favorite ways for developing singles let strength and stability while integrating the posterior chain are dumbbell reverse lunges and bulgarian split squats. The key however is to alter the position of your torso on each subsequent rep. For instance, on reverse lunges…perform your first rep on each leg with your torso held upright and perpendicular to the ground and the next rep on each leg with your torso leaned forward at about a 30-45 degree angle to load up the glutes and hams more favorably. *2. iRealZeta: What type of cardio is best for a skinny guy trying to build muscle through hypertrophy training?* LISS or low intensity steady state cardio is not going to be the best option for a skinny guy trying to build muscle. In fact, the energy is best conserved with assisting muscle recovery than it is with any additional cardio. That said, the cardiac and conditioning benefits that come from cardio are not something you want to avoid, especially if you are trying to be a top performing athlete. In this case however, we have some other options; namely those that are more anaerobic in nature and do not have a great eccentric stress component that could further interfere with your recovery. These include sled pushing, jump rope, sprinting, med ball throws, tire flips, battle ropes, and heavy weighted carries. *3. Tyler Hogan: I feel a clicking in my hip flexors when doing certain abdominal workouts. I understand I’m dominating the movement with my hip flexors. I have your Core4 Abs program which is amazing, but definitely struggle with the hip flexor clicking. Thanks Jeff* This is actually an anatomical anomaly for some people that occurs when the IT band repositions on one side of the trochanter (bony prominence on the femur) during the flexing of the legs and then snaps back to the other side when the leg straightens out or is lowered. You can try turning your knees and toes out (externally rotating your hip) throughout the entire movement. This can sometimes prevent the snapping back and forth, keeping it on one side of the trochanter the entire set. *4. Kevin Chan: What are some methods to prevent fatigue in the middle of a workout due to a lack of energy?* The biggest reason for fatigue in the middle of a workout is likely due to inadequate stored glycogen (from insufficient nutrition intake) or a poor ability to buffer the byproducts of muscular contraction. Try increasing your carbs a bit at every meal to ensure glycogen storage levels are adequate and if interested, introduce beta alanine into your supplement regimen. Our RX1 pre-workout has 3200mg of carnosyn beta alanine per serving, which will help to increase resistance to fatigue in the rep ranges most commonly performed for hypertrophy (10-12 reps per set). *5. Tal Farazis: Is it possible to see abs with excess skin on the abdominal area?* Of course! Loose skin is likely to hang lower due to both the weight of it and the tendency for gravity to always win. That means, while it may always be tough for you to see maximum definition in the lower abs the top and middle row of abs should be visible provided you get your body fat down low enough to see them. This video helps to explain that concept as well as a few things you can do to enhance your ab visibility that are separate from nutrition. *6. Tomasz Nowakowski: Could you explain if there’s an exercise to strengthen or prehab the knees? I have a very severe case of flat feet and for the last year or so my knees have gotten worse and worse, almost to the level it hurts just to get up from a chair. Cheers!* The knee is what is known as a “consequential joint”, meaning that it’s at the mercy of the joints above and below it. When the foot is flat, it causes the ankle to evert and this places a valgus stress on the inside of the knee. No exercise in existence will stop this if you don’t get at the root cause of the problem (which is the foot). There are things you can do to strengthen the muscles in the arch of the foot however it would be good to consult with a podiatrist about the possibility of getting some high quality orthotics to address the biomechanics that have been affected in the foot and ankle. *7. Aaron Gould: I’ve seen your plate ratio to how we should eat. Should this change depending on body fat percentage and/or goals for muscle mass and weight loss?* Yes, mainly the carb ratio. For instance, if you are on the thin side and want to try and add more size to your frame I would recommend flipping the carbs from twice as many fibrous to starchy - the other way. Have twice as many starchy carbs on your plate as fibrous carbs and you’ll find that the extra calories that come from these much more calorie dense foods will help you to get over the hump in terms of adding size and making gains. *8. Lesley Simons: You spoke about metabolic failure, progressive overload and muscle fatigue. You then said to approach the gym with a plan. Knowing if you want to do strength or hypertrophy. I was wondering could you do both? So let’s say the first 3 sets of a bench press is for strength and the last 3 sets for high reps for hypertrophy or does one cancel the other out?* You can absolutely train for both at the same time, even in the same workout. The thought that you cannot is one of the greatest fallacies ever created by the internet. That said, strength has a unique set of requirements and requires a more specific skill set that makes it preferable to be performed first in the workout. After your warm-up, the strength exercises should be prioritized. The level of mental sharpness and physical readiness required to excel at the big lifts makes them much more likely to be successful when fresh and energized than when relegated to after your hypertrophy work. *9. Adrian Zugaj: What are some tips for taller lifters, for legs specifically? I’m 6’2” and struggle a lot to get my legs to grow and progressive overload is slow. Deadlifts are especially awkward since I need to have my torso basically parallel to the floor at the bottom and squats seem difficult to do pain free.* Try externally rotating your hips and feet and letting your legs travel more out to the sides rather than straight forward and back. This will essentially “shorten” the legs since their vertical travel will be less. It will take some time to adapt to the new stance on the lifts (more sumo than conventional on the deadlift for example) but will be worth the effort and accomodation in the long run. *10. John: How can I better avoid headaches after volume set, mostly for legs? I try to control my breathing and take a new breath at the top of every rep but it doesn’t seem to stop the headaches from coming, especially during my squats. This never really happens for upper body exercises no matter the weight, volume, intensity or breathing? Thanks!* This is a much more common problem than you might think. One of the easiest things you can do is take a couple brief rest-pause stops in the middle of your set. Even if you could continue without one, this helps to give you a chance to take a couple deep breaths between reps and re-oxygenates the brain just enough to decrease what you are experiencing. On a more long term basis, you could look a bit into the breathing mechanics that allow for longer breath holds. As an example, Wim Hof has quite a few techniques and drills that he preaches that provide you with an ability to lengthen this time gradually and safely.

Another great bit of content. Love how Jeff always takes the time to go through things both in practice and the underlying principles behind it all, in full openness. I was around 7% ish for a good while but then gradually got a bit complacent with my food & gym routines and sitting probably around 10-11% now (just based on the charts), really want to try and get it under 10% again and revisiting this channel is definitely helping with the inspiration/motivation to do that. That said - can 100% relate to the sustainability part - a few years back in college I was training hard 7 days a week and eating way too 'lean', had like no fat on me but it was in no way healthy or sustainable, thankfully moved away from that after some time :) All about finding the right balance that works for you

Lol! Thanks for the vid, and not only this one but all of them Jeff!

I'm 41 and I'm seeing results that alot of guys half my age don't even have. I can't thank you enough and will continue my journey with your advice/channel!!! Thanks a million, Josh.

The "eye chart" is SO helpful, thank you! I feel so much better about where I'm at. I HAVE heard guys commonly talk about being below 10% and me at 20% was thinking I had a ways to go. Looking at the chart tells me that I would personally not want to go below 15

Yo this is perfect! Exactly what I need to make sense of my training and what I'm doing. I have a realistic goal and date now. Thank you for doing what you do!

Body fat is really misconceived today. People will have 15% but think they are 10%. They also think they will get abs at an ungodly fast rate if they just “work hard enough.” It’s more than that; it takes both training and nutrition plus patience if you want that precious six pack. Great video Jeff💪🏻👍🏻

That's because there is no real way to accurately measure bodyfat%. a dexa scan but it's not 100% either. You can just go off how you look in the mirror. I never did one sit up or at work and mine started showing a lil around 19%. At 15% a lil more at 10% a lil bit more. Not sure if I was 10% really it was a inbody scale.

Lol I love Jessie’s cliff notes 😂 they’re hilarious! I want to see Jessie’s intro AND outros in the same video for future videos!

Jeff, ive been a fitness professional for over 10 years and that visual comparison chart just blew my mind. What a great idea. Im definately using that, and dont worry ive been directing people to your channel for years 😉

Rather than tropes where Jesse acts a bit idiotic and self-depricating, I would personally prefer to see more videos with him genuinely crushing it and making gains. The changes in his physique between his first videos and now are inspirational. I'd just like to see his continued success and transformation to serve as inspiration for me. It's really relateable seeing a guy like Jesse make a transformation through real effort since fitness hasn't been his lifetime pursuit. Jeff, you're the inspiration of what's humanly possible and I love seeing your work ethic and results, but seeing a regular guy like Jesse go from scrawny to ripped gives me motivation that I can go from overweight to fit.

I always learn so much every time I listen to u! Awesome teacher! Thank you!

Just by following your videos I have not only improved my training at the gym but I'm able to see my abds like never before in 3 weeks.

Jeff: Jessie's so good at math Jesse: W I T H A C A L C U L A T O R

Hi Jeff I really enjoy your videos. They are very informative and I apply your suggestions and techniques to my workouts as well. Lately I have been wondering, "How many exercises should I do per muscle??" I thought that this topic would be a good one to do. Thanks so much for your knowledge in the fitness industry.

Just to add my personal experience: I started seeing them at 15% bf, then dropped to 14% and they were even more visible. Unfortunately, I lately gained some weight and am currently 17-18%. However, I can still see them because I never completely stopped training my core. That's what Jeff means by "training effect".

Love you man bin watching you channels for what feels like 15 years deep

I had surgery where I had a tube in my neck, and was on liquid diet for 8 weeks. After I recovered, It took a few weeks for my jaw to open wide enough to eat solid food. During this process and after, I stopped eating fast food and only drink water. I lost an insane amount of weigh, but in an unhealthy way. From 246 to 187 in 4 mos. I am currently in the gym using cardio and strength training. I have never had abs but I can feel them under the layers of fat but I wont be able to see them until my body fat comes down. I'm 5'11 @ 187lbs. My goal is under 20% body fat. I will not quit no matter what. Thank you Jeff and Jesse for motivation and the information.

Jeff, you messed up the math! 200 lbs * 0.3 = 60 Now you'll want to drop to 10% BF. That doesn't mean 200 * 0.1 since that would mean 10% at 200 lbs.

Well are we talking actual 16% BF or that caliper nonsense. If its DEXA 16% BF ---she is definitely not menstrating and therfore very likely going through bone density loss. Are some of those 16% BF women world class athletes?--yes. Are they permanently damaging their bodies?--also yes. Can you be an Olympic level athlete and be unhealthy?--I mean the first guy that ran a marathon died. Athleticism does not protect you from pushing your body past what it can recover from. Reproduction is a key biological function-when your body says "nevermind your dying" --thats a big deal, and to me a big red flag/definition of unhealthy. At the very least physique competitors are not reproductively healthy. Amenorrhea happens to women on either side of the range of healthy BF for a reason, their body is saying it cannot do all the necessary biological processes and so has had to prioritize immediate survival over long term health. But if by "perfect" you mean "attractive" --I mean tastes vary. Also its culturally conditioned. Beauty standards and health are really not the best of friends historically though. I'd rather not have a broken hip at 55 and so I'll take being a little imperfect. I think its shortsighted to choose otherwise. You're a lot more attractive to more people than you think you are if your a woman sitting at 25-30% BF --I guarantee it.

@@CeresIsABetterPlanetThanPluto Yeah I lost my period as soon as I hit 17.5%. Never going back to that again. I'd really like to see someone justify that as healthy, same for men with very low body fat. I always used to belive that competive body builders were the ideal goal of fitness, but now that I'm older I realize how wrong I was. I disagree with your other point though. I don't think a body fat of 25-30% is attractive, at least by America's standards. It might be different where you are. Body fat alone obviously doesn't dictate how attractive you are, even how attractive your body is because it doesn't mean you're actually muscular, similar to weight, but overall unless you've had lipo or a BBL I think 25-30% is too fat. 18% is still too low for a lot of women too. 19-20% is more reasonable and healthy.

The added comedy to a great channel is awesome. Great job guys!

So where are you at now?

Good stuff as always, why am I feeling Deja Vu' while watching this video? Everything you said in this video seemed exact thing has happened earlier as well.

Great inspiration video. Vegan diet mixed with biking, running and occasional Ab Ripper X did it for me. I went from 24% down to 15% in 5 months. Getting back into running shape was my main motivator.

I have nothing more to say .. i just like his videos so much .. I’ve tried some of his abs workout and its really good

Let's give this a try. In training how much time does it take for "noob" gains to stop and how to take care of your joints and tendons in the beginnings of training. Thanks Jeff your vides helped a lot.

I'm at 28% wanting to get down to around 10%. Only been training for about a month, and your videos have opened up a whole new world of knowledge for me. Thank you for putting this stuff out here!

@@LuminousBorah I may be wrong but from the research I have found on the internet I believe it is a common misunderstanding that 10% is dangerous, it can be but only in certain situations. 1. You're a woman - there is a great deal of research showing evidence that woman need a certain amount of fat to regulate their menstrual cycle. 2. You're malnourished - this is the biggest point of confusion. When cutting down to 10% you must be in a caloric deficit and for lots of people once your caloric intake is that low it means eating less and less so that you're receiving less nutrients, but if you still receive the correct amount of nutrients and are still at a caloric deficit you will be fine.

This is an old comment, but it comes down to essential fat. Women need higher fat stores than men. So 20% bf for women is not the same for men. Moreover it's easier for men to lose fat and build muscle since your body does not need to retain that much and you've got your good pal testosterone at higher concentrations. In reality it's much easier for men to lose fat and build muscle.

This is a very useful video. It's both educational and motivational

I have the mesomorph body type and I can already see a bit of abs at an estimated 28-20% body fat. Nothing like u want but its a HUGE step up from having a constant flab of fat in front of me.

“CEMENT LEGS” My question pertaining to “athletes” specifically, may be an obvious one but I wanted to see if there was anything else to consider. Every now and then an athlete gets the dreaded “CEMENT LEGS” unfortunately that may happen on game day. Other than obvious aspects to look out for like proper hydration, “proper” caloric intake, what the athlete was or was not doing exercise wise the week preceding their game and the appropriate balance and use of dynamic vs static pre-game stretches... is there anything else to look out for, help with or tricks you’ve learned along the way to try and minimize those cinder block legs (especially come game time)? ?Thank you

@@tal2939 You don't get to choose, it's a matter of luck. I got the NXT Anabolix program, which is basically part of the programs he uses to train his high-class athletes (therefore much much harder than AX 1 and 2 ). I personally find it extremely challenging (impossible at some moments) but most of the exercises are alredy available for free (his youtube videos). The techniques and structure is unique so the program is definitely worth it, but not the only way to make great gains

Can you continue the PERFECT home workout series?

your free content is by far better that most online programs and ig "trainers"

For anyone who cares, I determined a general formula to determine how much weight you must lose for a given target body fat, assuming you maintain your current level of muscle: Req loss = w * [ 1 - (1-c)/(1-t) ], where: w = initial weight, lbs c = initial body fat percentage / 100 t = target body fat percentage / 100 The division by 100 above is to make the numbers a decimal. Using Jeff's example of 200lb, initial bf of 30% and a target bf of 10%, the required weight loss is 44.44 lbs. Using those same numbers, but changing the target to 12.5%, the required weight loss is 40.00 lbs, consistent with the handful of comments that identified the same issue I saw. BUT, this does not detract away from the other awesome points Jeff made in the video. Still a good video imo. Hope this helps.

One thing about all of these discussions is priorities. If you are unemployed or a student at an easy school, by all means train almost every day, focus on every meal, direct your whole life towards looking good. But if you have a tough job, kids, barely enough hours to not neglect your family and get at least 6 hours of sleep? Looking at 5% body fat is simply pointless. What people also forget is mental power. If you are stressed about life, unless training is your stress relief, that leaves far less effort for doing everything right in your training. Notice how all fitness pros suggest getting enough rest, sleep, lowering stress? Well that is already a lot out of the equation you simply cannot meet. Set realistic goals and have that feeling of achievement when you reach (or overachieve) them. Good luck all!
