I'm Scott from muscularstrength.com and today we're going to have a bit of a more chill and

Real Talk video as we dig a little deeper into a subject that we've talked

about before and it's the skinny fat body type

now in the first video that I did which you can actually check out right now in the muscular strength app

about more of like the basic reasons why you could be skinny fat like using a diet that's too extreme

training with workouts that were not programmed correctly

naturally skinny but eat like crap and don't really train at all but today we're going to get a bit more into the

Specifics of the mentality of training to help you understand how three

very specific reasons might be holding you back but before we get started

Be sure to click that notification bell so you never miss a new video

uploaded from me and some quick good news guys this is going to be my last week in this apartment

thumbs up for that I can't wait to move in but alright guys back on track reason number one you're constantly

increasing your training intensity but not your calorie intake

what I see a lot in my gym is people who are trying to lose that last layer of body fat especially around their

midsection and they go into what I like to call

psycho training mode they perform a two hour workout plus cardio

for 45 minutes and then end it with the sauna or steam room yeah

in theory it might sound like it'll work and I wouldn't even doubt that some stupid magazine somewhere said a

Celebrity did this to get ripped for a movie. I just did one thing. I need to know. I worked out six hours a day

Every day for the last 20 years straight but my dad he always told me to work smart not hard

alright and this my friends this is a recipe for disaster

You can only push yourself this hard was so long before your body starts to shut down

and I'm not saying that pushing your body

is bad what I'm getting at here is that people

Into psycho training mode do all this intense work but never increase their calories

That instead of burning fat their body start burning muscle in order to obtain the nutrients

and energy their body needs to keep up with

All the excessive training so if this sounds like you the solution is simple

Yes you can boost the intensity of your workouts but if the goal is to get shredded maybe instead of doing longer

you hit your chest for three hours you need to be smart and switch up

your workout to something like a full body circuit where you're doing

exercises like burpees jumping lunges plyo push-ups dumbbell curls and the shoulder presses bent over rows to rear delt raises

Switch your workout to something that is geared toward burning more calories in a

shorter amount of time and make sure you adjust your meal

So that you actually have the energy to perform these workouts

reason number two you do the same workout every day

every week every month and every year and this actually came up because there's a woman in my gym that

I've seen do the same butt and leg workout every single day for about the past month

Actually what's funny about this is when I first met my wife in the gym she used

and now I know most of my viewers are men but this still applies to you and

Long have you been going to the gym and been just going through the same motions of the same routine

you know what exercises to do what order to do them in and you

don't need a journal because you've already memorized

All the weights you lift for every single set this my friends means

that your intensity is in the toilet yes you're still weight

training but the muscle stimulation isn't what it used to be when you first started out and you've most likely

plateaued months ago but the worst part about this is the psychological

effect it will have on you in your brain you know that

You've been going to the gym to train every week so why are you not seeing results

well the only thing it could be is your meal plan right?

So if you're training for muscle growth you'll probably try to eat more food to see gains and

calories even more to lose more fat but no matter

what you do each choice is going to lead towards increasing that skinny fat look

So what is the real problem here? It's that you don't have a game plan a strategy or vision and that's

that's why I'm here and that's why you're watching this video

you need a proper workout program geared towards your goal and

increasing the intensity of your training month after month so you don't plateau with your

progress whether it's for muscle gain or fat loss

Then once your workout plan is in order if you're still not seeing the results you want

Then we can take a closer look at your meal plan and reason number three as to

why you're still skinny fat is that you're

So for those of you trying to lose weight

I've noticed that a lot of people seem to think that sweat is fat

I know this sounds crazy but let me explain when you

Rely on the scale for weight loss all you focus on is that number going down so you do everything you can to

Sweat and not take on too much water weight

and for those of you trying to build muscle you might be reaching for a sandwich

every couple hours but not your water bottle because let's face it drinking water is boring

and easy to forget about like I'll literally be

Telling myself I'm not thirsty and then I'll go grab a drink that I like like a soda or an energy drink and I can

down that in two seconds but if I were to grab some water

I don't really want to drink this right now it happens to all of us guys but we have to remember that water is so

Important no matter what your goal is water aids with proper digestion to make

minerals and nutrients more accessible to the body and then once

digested water also helps your body excrete waste through perspiration

but what most people fail to realize is that our bodies are about 60 percent water

and we're losing water all day long through breathing
