How To Build Muscle (Explained In 5 Levels)

Which level did YOU learn the most from? Comment below, I'm trying to see something...

This lecture could be a week long course that could easily cost hundreds, and we got it for free in 20 minutes because Jeff is a beast. Thanks man

Jeff is just in his own category with these types of videos. Educational and actionable information plus a killer edit.

Thank you for this so much. A few years ago, I went from being disabled from Rheumatoid Arthritis (first diagnosed at age 8 or 9 years old), to finally getting fed up and put myself on the AIP autoimmune protocol paleo food plan and lifestyle and started doing 16/8 time restricted eating and I brought all my severe Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms down to zero and halted the Rheumatoid Arthritis so now I’ve been weight lifting and doing exercises and I’ve went from 2 pounds to 10 pound weights and still going. As soon as I was well I went back to school and became an integrative nutrition coach to help other people with RA and other autoimmune diseases lower disease activity as well as I’m heading back to college to get my four year degree in exercise science and nutrition ❤. I love weight lifting and how I’ve transformed so much and I want to help those who want to also do it.

I love that you’re not afraid to get technical in this video. I am so over the excessively watered-down content we receive with no direct reference to empirical research or anything based on the scientific method. What an excellent video and analysis. I will be coming back to your channel regularly for more!

Noob: where do you work out? Jeff: The library

At this point being elite in the gym means not only lifting very often but also being a nerd when it comes down to the science behind it and I think that’s absolutely beautiful

I’m ready for level 6. You know those YouTube videos that have no business being as informative as they are while being free? This is one of them 🙏🏾

Novice / Casual lifter here. Just finished my 6 month body recomp, growing muscle with a pretty drastic calorie deficit, and now stepping up my caloric intake to just a bit below maintenance. Ready for level 6, and the way you broke this down was incredibly easy to follow and understand all the way through Level 5. Really appreciate you speaking to the science and mechanism of muscle growth and development. Not only does this help us make educated decisions on what progressive overload and increased tension would work best for us. But also understanding the why behind how this works, so we can make better decisions about our dietary needs, workout volumes and intensities, and realistic goals for ourselves. Also big credit to you for being willing to revisit a formerly held conviction or opinion, and in light of new data or experience, openly admit that it’s a position you no longer maintain. Really appreciate your videos and for helping me turn my weight loss journey into a fat loss journey, with muscle growth offsetting all the fat I’ve been burning.

I know how much time & effort went into this, & just wanted to say what a valuable asset you are to the entire fitness industry. Love how despite all my knowledge & experience, I can always learn something new from your content. Keep moving the needle forward Jeff, & looking forward to seeing Level 6. 💪

This was so good bro

Nice video Jeff, watched all the way to elite. You are a very talented lecturer, and I’m seriously impressed by your VAST knowledge in training, which expands well outside the “practical knowledge” and into the “science based knowledge”. I’ve been watching your videos for 6 months now and I honestly learned so much, so I’m very grateful to you for all the effort you put into making your videos, but most of all, into explaining and citing all of the research you base your videos on. It’s also very nice that you almost never take any research as “definitive” as you often explain that very often they are inconclusive, circumstantial, or biased, I appreciate your honesty and precision very very much. Thank you Jeff, I will continue watching, and I hope you have a great day.

Woah… like always… there’s always new things to learn about. Thanks, this really open a new view that I need to constantly learn to better my physique.

Those signal transduction pathways 😍 I couldn’t be more proud! 👏👏

I like how Jeff focuses on giving us reliable information rather than tearing down other fitness YouTubers. I feel like a lot of people in the fitness industry just fight all the time, but this guy cites his sources and is overall just a positive influence

I’m ready for level 6. This was incredibly informative and extremely interesting. I had more takeaways from these 20 minutes than I think I have in all the videos I’ve watched in the last year combined.

10 minutes in and i’ve already found exactly what i’m looking for, thank you my journey starts today

Great breakdown of the current literature on muscle growth! Awesome work man. These videos just keep getting better and better.

Me: I'm ready for level 6 Science: Ehhh idk that seem a bit speculative

as a trainer myself i cannot tell you how good it is to see a content creator i want my kids to watch your amazing and give me hope that the next generation will see through the lies of the industry and focus on proven science based training. my hero buddy keep it up
