About the video:
If you've been on the fitness journey for any reasonable amount of time, you've already noticed that there are two main groups of people. In the first group are those who exercise hard, eat well, gradually keep getting results, and see good progress with their physique.

And then there's the other group who also train consistently, track their calories and macros, try different workout programs, but no matter what they do, they're not seeing results from working out. If you ask them, they don't think they're making diet mistakes or workout mistakes, and they don't know what's wrong.

The reality is, most people will waste a lot of their energy and time on doing the wrong things in the gym and with nutrition. In this video, I share the 3 main reasons why most people get stuck and why 90% of people in the gym won't see results. I also share what you need to do to avoid those mistakes. This video is a needed reality check for most beginner and intermediate lifters. There are no excuses here, only facts that you need to know.

I started seeing results when I started setting clear goals with myself. Instead of “get six pack” or “get fit” I started to focus on strength goals, Durations for certain exercises, etc.
that’s when I started seeing real progress.

The worst thing about fitness is you put in all this hard work 5-6 days a week in the gym and you feel like you're just staying the same all year long. Your numbers go up and you hit PRs, but your physique looks the same and you aren't losing any fat.

Then when you ask for help, everyone's a fitness expert who's either on steroids or TRT that gives you their own advice; which is completely different from everyone else's. Some people tell you to cut, some tell you to bulk, some say to eat more carbs, some say to do more cardio, some say less cardio, some say eat more, some say eat less etc. It's so damn hard to know what to do with your body that you start yo-yo dieting because you keep trying different things and still aren't seeing results.

It doesn't help that once you spend time in the gym, you develop body dysmorphia and you compare yourself to everyone else which makes you feel like a POS.

I worked out for 6 months after not working out for 20 years. (I’m 41 years old) in April I set a goal for my wedding which was to be 220 by the wedding. I lost 50 pounds. 270 to 220. I not only hit my goal but also built the most muscle I’ve ever had. Went on my honeymoon for 2 weeks and ate garbage everyday and drank soda. Gained 18 pounds back in those 2 weeks and I’ve spent the past month just trying to get back to where I was the day of my wedding. Needless to say the next time I’m on vacation I’m going to stick with my diet/healthy eating habits and not make that mistake again.

Number 1 mistake we all make: trying to train while listening to gym music, instead of sick royalty free tunes

[frischey]

Making fitness a part of who I am was the biggest switch for me. It took me almost 2 years of starting and stopping, but I'm finally at a point where I eagerly wake up at 5am and drive to the gym, and come home and eat food I make myself with healthy ingredients on a meal plan. I feel so much more alert, happy, and my self esteem has gotten so much higher. I am no longer under weight for the first time in my life. Don't give up.

I’ve been working out for 10 years on an off and have literally looked exactly the same until I decided to do something different. These are my steps that might help other people as well.
1.) implementing cardio/HIIT 2-3 times a week in your routine.
2.) decrease carbs and increase protein.
3.) progressive over load / training to failure.
4.) make fitness a priority and schedule your day around your exercise time.
5.) don’t think of dieting as something that you have to do, think of it more of lifestyle change. Figure out how to
Eat clean at your favorite restaurants.
For example ; Panda Express I’ll order a chicken teriyaki bowl no rice, extra veggies sauce on the side. In n out I’ll order a triple meat wrapped in lettuce. Chick fil a I’ll order grilled chicken nuggets. You get my point,
Be patient and just put the work in CONSISTENTLY.

Seeing results but it's never enough.

I love how to the point you are, but at the same time being so clear that it’s perfectly fine to be casual about fitness but we need to have realistic expectations. Like abs for example, for the average person, getting visible abs is a pretty big accomplishment and takes lots of work, but if you’re a fitness influencer? You gotta have a popping six pack or no one will notice you.

I ended the first covid lockdown as a fat slob (87kg for 1.76m) and started training at home last July (together with some jogging). Also changed my diet a bit: more protein, less crap, more zero-calorie stuff. One year later I weigh 72kg and my shoulders, back and arms look way better. Consistency, diet and progressive overload is everything.

“Managing and focusing and reducing the downside.” Simple yet powerful! Another valuable video. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[ditznfitness]

The "best exercises" part is so real! All those beginner switching programs every other week without increasing their overall volume...

Ran a Spartan race this weekend (a super 10 k + 25 obstacles), when my buddy who ran the race with me saw me posting my workout this morning he said I was crazy and he had no idea how I had the energy. I just laughed and replied it was my routine now. I can’t break the habit of not working out.

Follow this mans advice and really watch your diet. Cut out the sodas, the snacks, and opt for healthier choices. At the end of the day consistency is key and I think that's a big key factor. This guy knows what hes talking about. I think once fitness becomes fun and not a chore is when you will truly see the results.

Stated a year ago first time in life. 38, 6"3. Went from 340 lbs to 207 lbs. No loose skin thanks to weights. Only seriously started weights 6 months ago
Go 4 times a week 2 hours a shot minimal breaks so it doubles as cardio. Not only lost 140 pounds, starting to really look good. Another year, i cant imagine.

[thenitvision]

Hi, I just started working out, I was too focused on the result not the process and mastering the basics. This video was a reality slap on my face and it felt like you were talking to me and picking out on all my bullshits. Thank you so much! I have a lot to work on!

[noahsimmonsofficial]

I just started my fitness journey 3 weeks ago. So far, I've been having an amazing time with this. Lately I've seen increased vascularity in my arms and hands. I havent been able to see my veins in like 3 years! I've changed my nutrition to where I only consume clean foods to fuel my body, and I'm in the gym 4 times a week; performing metabolic sets to really get me worn out and worked out so I can continue to lower my body fat. I started at 245 pounds and I'm currently 241 and dropping. Although, im not too worried about my weight. I'm more so wanting to lower my body fat, and get some nice muscle mass! Just have fun with it guys.

[johnhadley]

I love how you used your experience as that 90% to really put your heart into this video.

[dgarcia]

You hit it right on the head for me.
I work out like an animal during the week and I throw it away on the weekends by over eating.
Thank you I needed it.

[freestylepunk]

FYI, a high percentage of gym goers I know are just going there to stay fit and active. They couldn't care less about body fat percentages, gains or how their abs look.

And you know what? That's a perfectly fine way to use the gym too.

Step 3: I just finished my degree to be a fitness trainer, just so I learned more. Seeing great results since then. Really learned how my ego stopped me from doing the exercises correctly.

Fundamentals are so freaking important. You hit the nail on the head there Mario.
