You shouldn't be going to a chiropractor if you believe in science though.
@endorfiene7457 March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
multivit, creatine and magnesium, more than that is not needed, plus not everyday.. just at times
@McClane4Ever. March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
So many people downplay genetics. I had an argument with a fellow trainer a few years ago about the topic.
One of my pet peeves in the industry were former athletes jumping into PT when their sports careers were over. They had the mindset of "I look good so my way of training must be superior than the alternative. If it's not working for you, it's because you're not training as hard as me."

On the flip side, training sub-optimally is better than training in a way you don't enjoy(or not at all)

Great video!!!

Solid advice! Great thing as i believe that women in natural fitness are lacking on YouTube, you’ll be a great influence on the girls.

Hi Sarah, just curious but what is your maintenance cal?
@BWater-yq3jx March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
Genetics is about 50% of achieving an aesthetic result for men, and 80% of achieving aesthetic results for women.

Hey just wondering if you could do a video on how you use my fitness pal.

Great video!!!👏👏👏
@Asterdrawzz March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
i was wondering if you had to actually go to the gym to get the body you wanted. I don't have a gym membership and can't get one currently. Can you still continue to add reps to your workout at home with heavier weights every two weeks and continue to see results? I also ended up falling for the " I'm going to see results in the first week" I originally put myself down for not seeing results, and I've been training at home for about a month and a half now. I have slowly been seeing results, and now I realize I can't be so hard on myself and think that I'm not doing enough only because I'm not seeing results.

so wait. you eat like a bagel or two every video... do they got lots of bagel joints in scotland?
@IBelieveInTheGYAT March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
Only one, get off the internet and stop comparing yourself to others.
@julien.6387 March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
YES PLEASE MORE OF THEse
@aennis246 March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
Let's talk progressive overload. What about some of those big lifts that are hard to get to the next weight level? Like Barbell rows or Lat pulldown. The next increment is 10kg or so for pull machines. Or maybe the 5 pound plate on each side for barbells. If I can do even 15 reps of a pulldown with good form at X weight, sometimes I still can't do 3-4 good reps at the next increment even though I'm way past the target range strength wise for the lower increment. How do you get past this?
@tracyw2029 March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
You have great hair... and content!
Nicely done (as always)!!!
@DasOrangensaft. March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
What you said about "fun is better fuel for consistency than perfection" (or something like that) also goes for the gym: If there is this cheap one with nearly 24/7 opening hours that is right on your way to work but you just do not feel comfortable there so that you rarely go there - there is no win. Better go to another one where you have to plan your days a little more because of opening hours and location, but feel comfortable and you actually go! (Of course, depending on your situation, this can be a privileged view. But if you have the opportunity, go to a gym where you actually enjoy working out.)

@swedr12345 March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
Hi Sarah, I just had to stop and comment on this video. I must say i pretty mutch watch all of your videos cuz I dont see your videos as an influencer video, I see them as educational videos and a lot of times I see myself in them... In my life I have been on and off with fitnes and had been doing the same mistakes like u are saying in this video. When i first started I had around 120 kg, than i droped it to 85kg but never could maintain it, was pushing my body to the extreme always wanting to hit that 2hour mark in fitnes and moust of the time it had to be to failure, where my body was saying now youneed to rest for the wole week. This year i decidet to try again but hit the barrier of overthinking, over complicating and especially comparing my past resoults to this day. Not letting things fall in to peaces naturally and start enjoying fitnes again. I am now 36 y/old and have about 110kg and this video made me realise that all i need to do is start and not comparing myself to myself at the age of 23 when i reached 85kg and comparing myself to others in gym. My opinion is that if we do mistakes it is oky, but at the end of the day you have to be able to learn from them. Least but not last, keep making this contetnt, I love ur videos and enjoying watching them and wish all good to you. With love from Slovenia Gregor H.
@rtu8054 March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
The 'perfection' mentality is so relatable for me 😅 I spent YEARS going starting and re-starting, trying to find the next best program. Like an addict trying to find the next high. Wasn't until I committed to workout with a trainer that I re-learned the basics and now can see through all those mistakes. Was not cheap to say the least but was definitely a much-needed personal investment.

Also your body transformation is absolutely insane 💪
@Lune.Prince March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
All the food you show eating looks FREAKING YUMMY. When will you kake a recipe book? 🤤 I want what you're having
@ritaroro8265 March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
Love your explanation but qst 5-10 sets per week for one muscle or in total for the whole week workout?
@Lune.Prince March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
When i see Sarah post a video it's a must watch. Please keep filling mw with all your juicy info 💪 your videos are always so enjoyable to watch ❤
@panagenesis2695 March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
Don't complicate things. Check out Nucleus Overload. Volume and Frequency over Intensity.
@snoopydancer1254 March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
I have no clue how to hit each muscle group 2-3x per week. I go to the gym 4 or 5 times each week, and some muscle groups only get hit once per week. I’ve tried to make my split include at least 2 sessions hitting quads and glutes but it’s tough! Any advice?
@honor199 March 27, 2025 - 11:39 am
Love this. You really broke it down and didn't hit us with jargon.
My main mistake was watching all these fitness videos and seeing so many different exercises and then think i had to do all these different exercises. I would have workouts that had almost 20+ exercises, and my workouts being over an hour long and i wasn't even fully sure if all the exercises were targeting everything. It was just a mess and yeah i was tiring myself out and my muscles hurt the next day, but i hit a plateau very early on and saw verry little progress that my motivation would take a serious dip. Another mistake i made was thinking if I wasn't taking supplements like Whey while working out, I would lose my gains. Some influencers really push hard on the supplements when really like you said if you just eat right it does most of the heavy lifting itself
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
