As a beginner You have no idea how happy it made me when you said “nothing beats going to the gym in the first place” I was confused learning about sets reps and weights.

It would be cool to see a video on Bulking vs Cutting vs Maintaining

0:05 Forgot what video I had playing in the background and thought he said "what about sex?!"

[PbVeritas]

Great as always. Personally: I found that working in the 10-12 rep range (3 sets per exercise) with a little lighter weight worked a lot better for me than the 6-8 rep range with heavier weight.

Had an advert from six pack shortcuts before this video... I swear that that channel is dead

These videos are also a very good brain training excersise for me personally. For a non English speaking guy, it is very hard to keep up with what the video guy says. He talks so fast that it is impossible for me to understand everything without having to stop and rewind the video many times. LOL
I do like these videos though. I like the drawings, the animations the information and so on. Is there a video about weightlifting slowing down the reaction speed of your muscles? I like cardio, explosive strenght workouts and STRETCHING.

You videos are super popular in China, but most people watch your video through some fitness channels which mostly ripping off channels like yours with profit intention. Just a kind remind you have a decent fan base in China but they are unable to reach you.

The hardest part about building muscle is having a good diet. That was my main problem until I found the Agoge diet plan. Now I'm gaining more muscle than ever.

[chanduvamsi]

Well jokes on me! I have been doing 30 reps*3 sets* low weight for almost all exercises.

[johncharlotte]

Does anybody know from there experience, what had the best effect for them?

Low amount of sets until failure with about 2-4 minutes of rest?
Example:
1-3 sets of pull ups until failure
Set1: 8
Set2: 5
Set3: 3

Or blend some intensity with volume
For about 5 sets of pull ups and not failing, which doesn’t get you as fatigued therefore getting more total reps

Example: getting 4 reps every set for
20 total reps

Anybody actually have tried this?

[presgallagher]

the most concise and objective channel Ive come across on youtube. thank you picture fit so much for this knowledge. For someone like me, the average joe, who is trying to sift thru all the contradictory info when it comes to health and fitness, this channel does an amazing job at simplifying these specific concepts and the illustrations just make it that much easier to understand. Once again thank you, and props to the narrator for having a very articulate and mellow voice.

Finally someone who knows what he's talking bout

[survivor]

I'm no expert but I think switching things up is the best way
giving your body no chance to adapt

[diegoul]

3:17 "the 3 reps of the ten sets are going to be pretty heavy" that is confusing since u talked about total volume.
Nice videos though.

I read an article in Muscular Development. That, they compared the one set Hit theory vs. multiple sets. About 8 sets was optimal per body part. I do 6 sets per body part followed by cardio. Mentzer was right when he said: You need the right amount of training and ridiculous amounts of volume is a negative thing.

[goosebandicoot]

I do as many reps as possible until failure, but instead of being just one set, I wait a minute and then repeat until failure even though each time I I can only do less and less reps. Any thoughts on this approach?
