What is going on guys welcome to the video so in the last video someone left the comment saying that the videos were getting a little repetitive with me starting out each video basically eating hail a top and dinner so this video we're gonna do something a little bit different how is that funny yeah so I'm gonna try and lighten today instead of hail a top not really a fan of mint anything but every flavor of enlightened even if I'm not a fan of the flavor they do such a good job with it that is delicious but that was just a joke so I do want to ask you guys seriously what do you want to see in the video because I feel like when I do vlogs people say that they don't want to see vlogs they just want to see fitness and personally there's not really that much going on that I even have to vlog that's why I don't really vlog that much so I pretty much stick with the fitness that seems to be what got what you guys seem to like the most and later on in the video I'm gonna discuss my routine as I think I'm going to be making some switches so first let me just try since I have it out let me try the mint ship and lion like but you know what I think and that is very good like I said I'm not a fan of mint but enlightened does a great job on these ice creams very creamy I highly recommend it so I'm gonna eat this up let me know like I said what you want to see in the videos do you want to see me be shorter informative videos like three to four minutes it's hot like supplements do you want to see what I'm already doing do I see more vlogging like what do you want to see let me know in the comments below and now I'm gonna do a little talk with you guys after this that I already filmed before this that's why the shirt will be the same as you'll see and then we'll get to the gym later on so hit the thumbs up and enjoy the video what's up guys we're gonna get to the workout footage in just a bit but first since we are on the couch we are going to be having a serious discussion so what I wanted to discuss is the difference between gaining weight and gaining muscle and you probably knew I was gonna say that because you saw the thumbnail this video before you clicked on it but anyway a lot of people they want to gain weight and when they say they want to gain weight we all know they mean muscle no once trying to get as fat as possible I'll show you a resume wrestler so we want to gain muscle when we say we want to gain weight and a lot of people they set a target weight in mind so let's say for example you're 150 pounds and you want to weigh 175 pounds in my opinion that's the worst that you could do set a weight goal because once you set that weight goal you have no idea where you're gonna look like at 175 pounds the truth is even if you wore 175 pounds you probably still wouldn't be satisfied so to tell yourself that you want to weigh 175 is stupid because all you're going to do is try to even if you don't realize it you are going to be trying to rush yourself to get to 175 pounds and in the meantime you're gonna get fat than you want because if you're 150 you get to 175 you're gonna add muscle at the same rate whether you're adding five pounds a month or three pounds a month or ten pounds per month so obviously if you want to get there faster you're gonna try to gain weight faster but gaining weight faster doesn't mean you're gaining muscle faster you're just gaining weight gaining muscle they're not the same thing so I mean look at it this way even if you're trying to gain one pound per week it doesn't sound like much but it's four pounds per month over the course of a year that's about 50 pounds you're not gonna gain 50 pounds a muscle a year I mean you'd be lucky if you gain 12 pounds a muscle per year so if you're getting 50 pounds in a year where is that weight gonna go it's gonna be fat and that's only at one pound per week I mean there's some people myself when I was younger I actually tried to eat two pounds per week for a while two pounds per week eight pounds per month I mean over the course of each year that's a lot of weight and I got fat so in terms of looking at weekly I recommend gaining like a band of half a pound per week and about two pounds per month and you should not set a weight goal because there's no point in saying a weight goal as long as you're trying to gain two pounds per month you're gonna get you're gonna be gaining muscle at a nice speed there's no point in looking to the future and say oh I need to weigh 200 pounds because once you tell yourself you need to weigh 200 pounds you're gonna weigh 200 pounds and you're gonna get sloppy just because you're chasing the number on the scale so do not chase the number on the scale we want to gain muscle we don't want to gain weight weight obviously is muscle but we only want to gain muscle so that's just what I wanted to go over with you guys because I made a post on Instagram the other day I got a lot of questions about oh but if I gain ten pounds one might be getting faster no you won't your body's only gonna gain so much muscle whether you're gaining three pounds per month five pounds ten pounds twenty pounds so control it don't set your eyes on the scale why yourself obviously the judge progress but do not set a long-term weight in mind because that number does not exist you're never going to actually look how you think you will at that weight you're just gonna rush your progress and get faster than necessary so just wanted to talk to you guys a little bit about that and now let's get to the workout footage where I'll give you an update on my training and I think we are done with five through one after this week yeah what's up everyone welcome to the workout so this is my latest bench press workout and just one thing I meant to add to the little talk I just did before this is the problem also if you set a target weight in mind if for some reason you'd stall for two weeks and you don't make any progress now if you still have that same target weight in mind you're gonna have to go even faster to reach that goal because you didn't gain any weight for a couple weeks so there's just another reason that it might force force you to rush progress and a reason I do not recommend ever setting a long-term weight in mind so anyway here on five three one this is the three's week I'm about to do my am rap set as you're about to see here and I said before the workout started that I think this might be my last week on five three one and it wouldn't be this workout you're seeing it's the one that's gonna come next week as the last week and the reason for that is a couple things on one I've been on five three one four over two years now I did do seven five three for a couple months in between but I've been basically on five three once for a couple years now and my strength has gotten to the point for a little while where it's not really increasing and I've been okay with that because I enjoyed five through one and I really prioritize enjoying the gym and having fun in the gym over my actual progress since I'm happy with my physique and although I like to get stronger it's not a huge priority of mine but recently I just felt like even though I've been on five I've been on five three one for so long that I'm no longer enjoying it as much as I wasn't enjoying it before and I thought that this would be a good opportunity to possibly try and slip thing new now it's not gonna be too drastically different I'm still going to do four days I'm still going to be doing basically starting each workout off with one of the main lifts but what I am planning on changing is rather than five through one it'll I'm gonna be changing the percentages and the way that I set up the main lifts and I'm also considering the way I set up my accessory exercises now I'm not gonna be calling it anything because I'm kind of gonna be playing around with it I'll take you guys through it as I do it but the plan is experimenting with different percentages and different like reps schemes different accessory reps schemes for the next couple of months and then when it's all set then what I've experimented for a few months maybe I'll put it all together as like a newer kind of program which will probably be if I'm just thinking about it right now it'll kind of be like a combination of programs that are out there part five through one and some part of other things part what I do differently just so that basically a combination of all my experience lifting what I find to be working the best for me what I enjoy the most and what I think what I think will be the best so stay tuned for that I'll definitely make sure to take you guys through it as I'm recording this right now I don't know exactly how it's gonna be I do know like I said it's going to be similar to five through one but with different progression and thinking about changing the way I set up the accessory exercises as well but overall it's not gonna be too different because I do think that the way I train is optimal I do enjoy for the most part but I just feel like something needs to change just a little bit just to keep things fresh because I start a five through one I believe it was May of 2015 we are now in September of 2017 it's been a while so I think it's time for a change not just for me but for you guys I feel like the videos are getting repetitive as well so hopefully I could change it up and take you guys along with me and we could all learn some stuff as I do that but anyway this video is wrapping up this is the last exercise that I filmed for the workout if you guys like the video do me a favor and hit the thumbs up I really do appreciate that subscribe to the
