workout advice
The real problem is when people are allowed to be personal trainers, while knowing absolutely nothing about training.
Bollywood physique expert đđ
Tom Ellis is a very fine actor. The workout routine he showcased in Men’s Health however, is not.
And to be clear, Men’s Health puts out these days some solid articles. However their insistence of promising incredibly easy solutions to problems that require effort is a big issue.
Omar is really well spoken, using big words. Iâm impressed by his skills of pub speaking.
2:23-2:28 you just described my current physique. Love your content by the way.
Intensity and consistency is key to building muscle.
i agree with everything you’re saying , however this workout isnt that bad and i think a lot of ppl would probably get better results doing this workout than what they usually do (which is probably nothing )lol . i mean hes doing 20 min of sprints / jogging followed by 20 plus sets , thats a pretty solid workout . keep in mind tom elis weighs about 175 pounds
Greg called. He wants a collab. Bollywood and Hollywood physique experts in one room?!
Omar:âin order to get the body you want there has to be some sort of sacrificeâ
Me:buys baby goat.
Speaking in pubs is a handy skill.
Hey Omar, to defend Arnolds 20 minute a day every day training idea, say you do full body each session (chest, back, legs, abs/push, pull, legs, hinge). That’s 5 minutes per body section, enough for 3 sets per section with rest hitting between 6-20 reps for different intensities. High frequency for all sections. a maximum of 21 sets per body section per week. This gives plenty of space for movement variation such as horizontal, incline and vertical press etc.
This would make programming for progressive overload a doddle. For the general populace or non-specific athletes, I’d say that this approach is a winner.
Just a thought đ
Thanks bro! Preach! I been saying these things for years, especially coming from a 6’4 individual. I just had to have a microdiscectomy on my l5s1, can’t wait to get back in the game. 2 days after surgery im up and walked almost 3 miles at a decent 17 min mile walking pace. When I get clearance or feel up to it, I’ll be referencing your content
@Tanya Murphy Don’t you get it? He’s going to “sacrifice” the baby goat!
Whoops
I was very out of shape in march this year (weak, quickly winded, 35% body fat), so I decided to devote all my time (I do mean all of it, every waking hour) to shedding weight and building muscle. I am now at 17% body fat and far stronger with much better endurance. Intensity is important, but dont discount sheer volume and time. The prison workout builds buff dudes also because they have far more time than the average person to work out. I put in a 6-8h, 1200-1500 rep, 25-30 exercise workout every second day (split into 3-4 sessions). On resting days I spend an hour in the whirlpool/massage jets, half an hour in the sauna/cold room, half an hour massaging with an impact massager. Every day I put in 30 minutes of HIIT and 1h of LISS. Once a week I see a physiotherapist helping me cope with various weaknesses/injuries I got underway, and once a week I get myself a sports massage. I am still not in great shape, just far better than where I came from, which is huge progress in a relatively short amount of time.
@Falcon’s BJJ Stuff better go hard on 1 group for 20min.
I can imagine Mens Health have a huge fear of being sued. If they are promoting training at high intensity levels, training to failure and pushing people to lose good form they are risking injuring their readership. Especially considering a lot of their readers are very casual gym go’ers.
what’s actually wrong with tom’s routine though? it’s decent volume, 4×10 with good exercise selection. not sure what the frequency is like but just from those two previous variables it seems decent. he didn’t discuss progressive overload, sure, that’s an issue. but i think the fact that you ought to progress in weight over time is something that you can ALMOST take for granted.
@A. G. Perhaps he is as big as he wants to be
Dude’s doing 405 for 12 on squats, I mean…
@A. G. Also, why are you here?
You get jacked in prison for the reasons you named but the biggest reason is boredom on an unimaginable scale
Florian Bösch most people feel sorry for themselves but youâre putting in the work
The workout most definitely can be effective especially in case of a new lifter. If he goes with waith that makes him fail in 10-12rep ranges and does this 2 times a week for musscle group + the 2 days that he can prefform HIT traing useing exercises like a burpee you have no clue what you are talking about.But i guess you made the video for some views in that case job well done.
Training to Become a Super Saiyen self pitty is a dark road to nowhere, one of the things you learn when dealing with mental issues.
who decided that?
As much as I agree with all this, I have to come to the defense of Gerard Butler in the 300. In the behind the scenes it is clear he and the one playing the Spartans were jacked and had real abs. I admit that the angle, make-up, lightning etc made look even more insane than it was in reality, but his abs are real. Also he said in an interview that this was the result of an intense 7 month period of training of which during the last 4 months with 2 seperate trainers (his own and the film trainer) and even on set kept on training. He also was kept on a strict eating regime.
so u dont find anal sex entertaining??
Really good vid Omar, liked the way you broke things down and how people really have to tailor things to them.
When I was in the army (in my 20s) I was in peak physical shape because I trained every day, took only 2 days off per month – and could recover faster. My genetics are average to less than average. I have to work a lot more at a lot more intensity just to maintain. I have to watch my diet like I’m the calorie accountant as well.
Now I’m in my 40s, the army took its toll on my body, can’t really train as intense for as long as I used to. It shows.
There needs to be congruence between goals and routine. The huge transformation for me was when I went from 0 exercise to three times a week half hour session with pair of adjustable dumbbells at home, and reduced my sugar intake significantly. If goal is to get healthy physique, but not perfect looks or maximum strength most important thing is to get exercise routine that you can stick to even when you feel like you are too busy for it.
My mistake was to upgrade to a gym routine, since it meant doing single exercise session took a lot more than hour when included transitions to and from gym. My original routine was something that I was able to keep no matter what, my new routine was something that I skipped when I got busy, and suddenly I was always busy. Now I’m trying to rebuild my home routine again with far busier life and without the urgency caused by sedentary friend dying in heart attack when he was 30 giving me immediate realization how important it is to have basic health issues done.
The Tom Ellis video was something that was not his workout routine, it was some of the workouts that he does like he said near the end of the video.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache WHY ARE U EVERYWHERE SERIOUSLY
I think most people here didn’t actually go look at the video. I honestly don’t know what Omar is talking about anymore. All his videos in recent years are just aimed at “the fitness industry is evil” and always involves talk of genetics. Omar would definitely be on the below average side for genetics so it’s no surprise
If Tom Ellis keeps lifting with that routine, progressively overloads and has a sound diet, he’ll make great results. Sure he may lack intensity but 1) he’s constantly talking and 2) he’s relatively new to lifting…. Most people who have lifted less than a year lack intensity
Ya that sounded like a big title
Prison has steroids
I see you are a fitnesss fan.
@Kilju Pullo what?!
