Common Mistakes That Inhibit Muscle Gain | Tim Ferriss

Whoa.....all of his advice is what I have been doing intuitively....crazy

When in doubt eat more.

VOLUME has shown to be one of/THE biggest drivers of hypertrophy.
Why go to failure 2x per week?
Add more volume.
A 20 min workout two days per week is NOT going to cut it if you want to add muscle.


Leave some reps in the tank, lift frequently, eat real food.
NOT BEANS.
MOAR STEAK.
and get enough sleep.
Why would i take hypertrophy advice from this guy?

Recap:
1: Keep it simple
2: Eat more
3: More time under tension and always to failure

My dude, Timmy, where can I watch you deadlifting 650 lb??? You claim it in you book about cooking. Your word is your bond. Where is that video?

You're doing God's work Tim ;)

Keep It Stupid Simple KISS

How long do you rest in between sets?

GOMAD gave my uncle kidney stones back in his 20s. Would not recommend

This is stupid if you want to get buff loo

1. Overlifting
2. Eating too little (calories)

Gomad but use Fairlife WholevMilk. Lactose free, less carbs, .more protein. 🏋️‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏊‍♂️

I m still looking for the second leg exercise. Maybe leg press and hip thrusts. Leg machines are really meh 😂

Technically it's a super series workout with lowering weights to burn muscles until you have no weight in the machine left. You cannot do more, lower weight a little then continue. However in the Coronado experiment that he is referring to they had to do like 15 strength exercises which is alot for one workout and no wonder why in advanced workouts you split the workouts

Hey Tim I ve read the 4 hour body and I truly loved your book!I have read also the 4 hour workweek and took of Titans ! I have my BSC in sports science and I have been lifting weights for 15 years .Is it possible to creat muscle hypertrophy with your instructions?i m a little sceptical because I know that you need to perform 20-24 sets per workout for muscle hypertrophy and you re saying that my workout will be 5-10 minutes and I will have to perform one exercise and not multiple sets .I find it quite intriguing and that’s why I m going to give it a try the first program you mentioned push-pull -legs*2 on Monday and Friday
P.S.I am huge fan of you and your work,lots of love!!

This is exactly what Mike Mentzer advocated, and what Dorian Yates practiced — both were massive from this. Lots of recuperation time to “grow”.

This is absolute nonsense.

GOMAD LOL!

I can't recommend the Agoge Diet enough, that stuff helped me gain so much muscle.

I loved the 4hr body! I started following Occam's Protocol minimalist workout two weeks ago, but I was wondering if you recommend this workout or the geek to freak one, which you mention in this video, more?

The three biggest mistakes most people make with their workouts are doing too much exercise, too often, but not working nearly hard enough.

Most people would be better off performing only one set to failure of one or two exercises per muscle group, twice weekly or less, using only moderate loads and very strict form.

Minimum effective dose = gallon of milk per day

dude I had more muscle than you when I was in the 10th grade. Why would anyone listen to you about how to gain muscle?

Interesting

This works

I did the 4 hour body for a month & lost 7kg, people noticed it in my appearance (didn’t do the cold baths though) just stuck to the meal plan & did light exercise but nothing more than normal

wait, where is his muscle? scrawny guy trying to give muscle advice

this sounds as the mike mentzer heavy duty training protocol

My farts brought me back to this video. Thanks Tim!

So three exercises PPL each workout with three different PPL the second workout?

👎

I think if Tim were to write this section of 4 Hour Body today (and using actual science instead of the Colorado Experiment and other Arthur Jones rubbish) he would advocate for:

-Myo Reps, in order to accumulate appropriate volume and intensity without sacrificing time for a stimulus

-Half-Reps, using a long length stretch of the working muscles has been shown as superior to full range-of-motion for muscle growth

-A protein intake of at least 1.6g of protein for every kilogram of bodyweight (which is around 0.73g per lb of weight) as it has been shown to be no further benefit in most people to go above this amount

Slow reps are unnecessary as going to near-failure affects the muscles in the same way regardless of the amount of reps (provided it's above 5 reps) or how long reps take to perform. Personally, I'd stick to 5-8 rep max for exercises to build strength as well as hypertrophy and the simple fact that a higher rep range takes longer to perform. I'd also say recovery should be autoregulated, writing everything down and adding rest days when performance starts diminishing
