MAJOR DIFFERENCES (In My Opinion)
Beginners
1. Focus on big heavy compound movements (squat/deadlift/bench/chin ups)
2. Eat in a surplus (hit 1g per lb of bodyweight protein)
3. Full body training a solid idea
4. Progressing in strength is important
5. Emphasis on learning proper technique
Intermediate
1. Focus on progress overload with optimal exercise selection (incline bench vs bench press)
2. Volume is a key driver over time for hypertrophy
3. Learn to track macros and find carbohydrate tolerance
4. Break up training phases between bulking & cutting
5. Begin to learn variations and what your body responds to
Advanced
1. Individualized periodized programming
2. Either macro tracking or intuitive eating
3. Highly specific training to reach goals (powerlifting/weightlifting/bodybuilding)
4. Focus on lagging areas
5. Training based largely around what you have found your body respond positively to

Is Omar at the school to pick up young girls? My heart says no, but his mustache says yes.
Been watching you for years Omar. You still make me so happy to know that you're still giving out such good information. Got me through college and after. Just want you to know how much you've helped and how much of an impact you're making! Keep it up bro!
“you can’t flex bone 🦴 “ 😂😂
“omurice off here”
Thanks for the video. I wanted to know how long until when is an intermediate lifter ? Is it after one year of consistent training ?
So much wisdom for a damn single video
“Bwody”
Super funny intro!!
Damn, just bought 20 pounds of Tilapia.
How is Omar intermediate?Is that new code word for natural.Is this bizzaro world where you have to “come out of the closet“ as natural.Jezuz.
"You can't flex bone" – Omar Isulf 2019
"2024: Omar has gone beyond creatine and is making elite pl total numbers
Omar: So as a late intermediate lifter.. "
Myself personally I believe
Beginners should learn about macronutrients
They should experiment learn about portions how many protein carbs and fat in a meal
Experiment with different percentages of protein carbs fat
Learn about different size of portions and so on
As when you get more advanced depending on your goals you're going to have different training workouts probably every other month
and that means you might require different percentages of protein fat and carbs
It's much more easier learning it from the beginning in my opinion then trying to figure out later
But cool video anyway much appreciated
Idk if I would suggest eating at a surplus for beginners who are sitting at 15%+ body fat. Everything else spot on.
At what point does a beginning start to become more of an intermediate? When the compound-lift focused programs (like 5×5, etc) stop working?
I'm so fucked. I train hard but it's rough, I don't get more than like 70-80g protein a day, even hitting that is difficult. I have a bad relationship with food and if I overdo it, food gets literally disgusting to the point I'll puke, I can't physically, mentally or emotionally eat.
How the fuck are you an intermediate lifter in the thumbnail? That looks like a solid advanced natural lifter if not higher (and don't even mention pump or lighting, the two things you yourself criticise on instagram models). Stop making those thumbnails to bait people into watching the videos thinking "oh if that's intermediate, then I must really suck at lifting".
I actually look like a beginner but in my head I look like intermediate 😂😂
When you gonna grow that beard?
is there a difference in taking a creatine as a beginner and an intermediate lifter? 🧐
Omar standing outside of school to sell kids creatine for their lunch money.
great vid and info as always mate <3
Canadians are cringy as fuck
Would not buy creatine from this guy
Bromar Boisurffff is officially my favourite YouTuber
Man can you make a video about your training program for hypertrophy and strength ?
Very nice "Omurice"
Progressing in strength as a beginner is tough
I really didn't like Omar in the past but he win my heart here
Nobody talking about his opening line, what’s “cracking” guys 🤣🤣🤣 get it? Crack, cocaine, creatine, lol
You should make Creatine pixie stix omar, this is a billion dollar idea
I´ve yet to watch a video from this guy that contains any relevant info for me to actually do something with
