Strength training tested - 60 day before & after
In this video I tried to get as strong as possible in 60 days. I wanted to see if I took on 60 days of strength training, if I could compete with my brother and see if I could outlift him in a series of 4 exercises. I also show the before and after of my strength training journey as well as the strength training workouts and diet that helped me put on muscle and get stronger. I am still a beginner lifter and am a novice to strength training, but I really enjoyed this challenge. Over my 60 days I took on a beginner strength training workout and really enjoyed my experience with this strength challenge. I was able to see some noticeable gains in my squat, deadlift, pullups and bench press, and overall I felt like I really got stronger from my full body strength training.

    Omg man this is so true.. after my first squat session ever. I was wrecked. I took 2-3 days and was still sore, I didn't want to wait a whole week for what I thought I'd need for "recovery" but after the 2nd session all that soreness went away instantly. From that point on I felt stronger and got stronger.

    Great video as always! Just a little note on your form. Take a look at your squat, your knees were bent inwards when they need to go outwards, ideally the knees should be in line with the feet. Also, you need to go deeper on squat, your thighs should be at least parallel to the floor. Don't hurt yourself and please stay safe!

  • @apeekintime

    Depth is more important if you are a competitive lifter. Not going fully to depth is actually fine for general training. For a novice lifter I'd rather them do less weight pause sets or only go slightly higher than competition depth when lifting heavy. As you pointed out his knee position was bad and they are going for near max lifts. Going to max, without a competent spotter (as pointed out in the video) and lack of experience on how to bail out of a bad squat is a recipe for injury. When he did fail the squat he let the bar pin him all the way to the ground instead of dumping it. Keeping that bar in a high rack position was real risky.

    I love this video, and in particular that you invested the time to make a 60 day video instead of just a couple of weeks. The progress is awesome, and I love seeing more people get into lifting. Everyone's picking on the squat, but wanted to point out something on the deadlift. The bar is way away from your shins! You should set up closer to the bar, so that it's basically touching or almost touching your shins when you start. It should help hugely and reduce strain on the back.

    Enjoyed this.. Hopefully you stick with it. The key to this stuff is just getting started and forcing yourself to show up, after that it becomes more of a habit and you'll show up at the gym without even planning to go there. ~7 years ago I forced myself to "just go" and I haven't looked back since, it became a life changing habit. Now, I will say that DOMS is normal after just starting a new workout, but I'd argue that if it continues to occur past the first week or two of the new regime, you should reduce the workload, because overtraining can hurt your progress. It's okay to be a little sore, but it's not good to be debilitatingly sore to the point where it hurts to do general everyday movements, that usually indicates overtraining.

    I would love to see both of you trained by an actual power lifter. So many things could be tweaked to improve your lifts. Just your choices in shoes could improve how things moved. Ugh I haven't lifted much since my knee arthritis has flared up and still as a 48 year old woman I can outlift both of you guys... except for the pull ups...I suck at those. But seriously if you had the proper coaching and more than 60 days to train, you would surpass me easily. Nice to see regular guys give these lifts a chance without resorting to the typical dumb gym bro tropes. Most of the powerlifters I know are seriously smart about their workouts, and typically smart people in general. It's a fun sport.

    Awesome video as always. Some things I've noticed though: When weight training you definitely do not burn more than 200 kcal in an hour, even for a big guy. Any tracking by gym equipment (or watches, but those tend to be a bit better) should be cut in half. Moderate steady state cardio like going for walks burn the most because you can go for longer. Please for the love of god don't take more than 5g og creatine per day. You will never ever need 20g unless you want to make your bathroom visits more "explosive". Remember to always look at form. The smallest details matter (oh and remember to pause at the bottom of the bench like a solid 1-2 seconds. Happy to see that you've also gotten into fitness. Stay strong!💪

    ​@michaellove456 yeah loading gets you to saturation faster but not necessary. I did loading when I initially started taking it and holy shit not worth it. If I ever take a break from creatine I'll just do a few days of 10g then just chill at 5, I don't even think our bodies can really absorb the majority in the loading phase I mean isn't that what our body is telling us with all the liquid shit if you load?!

    I jumped from 250 (one rep max) to 315 (4 rep max) on bench in 60 days following a modified version of Jim Stoppani's 'Shortcut to Size' plan. It was a good feeling. No one I knew was in the gym at the time, so no one cared lol but I was stoked.
