Wait…why do people listen to this guy? Does he bench 500 or is he secretly jacked? 

Does he have a great exercise science degree or work at an amazing strength and conditioning facility….my guess is NO to all of those questions.

MOST average looking person out there and he's (guessing its a he) has a fitness channel giving advice, lmao, its stouges like this that given BB and PROPER PT a bad rep. If only going to gym for a week and doing some PT course online could make everyone a PRO. lol

You would think that with all the HGH that Omar does he'd be bigger and more cut. This video he looks like an average everyday guy who goes to the gym 2, maybe 3 times a week. You need to up your game Omar.

Look up over training on Wikipedia and all your questions will be answered. It's not going hard in the gym. It's when you don't allow your body time enough to recover between workouts

what's all the people abusing Omar?  He obviously knows what he's talking about. You don't have to look like a gorilla to be able to lift a fuckload of weight, look at Frank Yang before he decided to get huge (check his training mixtape).

Omar I love your videos and appreciate your content so much. I can't afford a trainer right now, but I have learned so much about lifting from you. You are super knowledgeable and well spoken. As a new lifter your channel is such an amazing resource. Thanks again.

Hey guys, can someone please tell me about the effects on the body when attempting a lift like deadlift and not being able to budge the bar..does this still fatigue the cns? I tried a pr
and tried a few times but couldn't move the bar and then the week after my strength was significantly lower.

A good example of this is when I had to change the duration of my cardio. I do stairs, before max incline walking on the treadmill for 12 mins each.

For a while it made my lifts weird. Then I switched it to 10 mins each. And then I saw improvement.

During that, time i had school and work for several hours, and my cardio was done after I just lifted.

At 5:00 the cut is made to the chase.

The easiest way Ive found to think about it as adaptive stimuli vs giving time for adaptations to occur. You can increase your ability to sustain workload by doing extra recovery work (I.e. Naps, massage, scraping, active rest). But its very sub optimal for long term physiological changes to occur if you don't let your body respond.

This is my second time over training myself actually while I was working out I could actually feel when it happened my workouts were harder to do and my muscles look deflated and soft is this permanent? Will my muscles go back to normal?
