Ive been exercising and weight lifting for almost 4 years now and i was depressed then and im depressed now. And ive recently quit exercising and cant get motivated to get back.
Now I am over weight. Age 20, height 165 cm, weight 77. Waist 34. I wanna loose my fat. If i Do resistance training can it helps me to reduce my belly fat. plz reply sir. or you could advise me. Actually 5 days ago i started little bit running and walking, and doing cardio. what will be best for me. resistance training or cardiovascular…. plzz suggest me plzzz..i need ur suggestions.
Found this video by chance, before lifting I used to just get drunk just about everyday because I was angry at my shitty job and general shitty life. I constantly contemplated suicide and ended up completely driving away all my friends and family.
I started lifting because I was really angry and I wanted to let it out and feel “hurt” physically.
I’ve been lifting for about 7 months, I had no goals when I started I just wanted to exert the pain I felt.
God do I love lifting. The feeling of satisfaction after a good workout session is incomparable to anything else for me.
I hope anyone who reads this and is struggling right now is able to push themselves towards doing something about their lives because they want to love themselves. Or like me, because they want to let out some pain.
It’s worth it. You’re worth it.
What if you have a problem sweating?
Most of the time I exercise, I overheat and almost pass out. I tried gaining a bit of weight for that problem (6’1″, used to be 150 now 170) but that seemed to just make me tired faster.
I also sometimes have chin splints and joint problems. Is there anything I can eat or take to help with this?
When I do Zumba and when I’m done I can’t stop eating how do I loose weight I can’t stop drinking pop and jucie chips and other snacks how do I loose weight?
Ive gone to the gym depressed many times…. but ive NEVER left the gym depressed.
One very important result of strength training is increased physical performance.
I don’t have the actual numbers on this, but at a glance it seems as if suicide rates are much lower among professional athlete as compared to actors, comedians, musicians. Both sets of people generally have a lot of money and seems fulfilling career but only the athletes lives revolve around exercise
If only I were where you are. I’d have you train me in person for life!
Speaking of depression. My period makes me depressed. A lot of elite female athletes are afraid of taking birth control in fear of suffering from negative consequences that may affect their performance. If I don’t use birth control my performance is affected when I’m on my period as I can’t focus and can’t perform physically as I normally can. On the other hand if I take birth control it may also have a negative effect on my performance but I don’t know which one would be worse…
I am an elite track and field athlete and a video regarding this would be very beneficial for me and all other female athletes.
YES!
Before I even watch the vid. Working out cured my depression in high school. Been hitting the gym for 4 years now ����
Can you do some video about how much of every macro (proteins, carbs and fats) we need depending on the objectives, body type and some others things that may influence?
When I had been depressed I went to the gym and tried to do everything even harder than before. I had been telling myself that ‘I can do it and I will do it. I will show it to those who are the reason for me being depressed.’ and I developed much more faster and I felt a lot better.
Training is my anchor, I struggle with PTSD and bipolar type 2, I know that if I dont get a weight training session in 1st thing in the morning, the rest of my day is a fucking disaster, weight training has been the only thing that’s been able to center me and anchor me. May god bless the iron….
This is such an amazing channel. Great animations, clear, concise, educational. Always practical advice too. So happy I found your channel!!!!!!
You wear those shorts nicely. I’m not trying to be crude, but all your man parts are in proportion. Great over all build Dean.
I think is cuz u start seeing progress u look fit and that makes u happy
but what about the gains, I’m struggling with depression and went back to the gym. I didn’t gain any muscles, and my doctor said it’s because of depression.
I can’t squat nor deadlift whatsoever due to my skeletal structure. It’s not even an option. Do I just give up on legs or there’s hope?
Depression is very common, but you should deal with it as soon as possible, good tips will be keep an active lifestyle and also for me cbd oils, they are really helpful!
I came here because this was an assignment video for my class. Honestly, this video should have way more. I think 8k is little when seeing how educational it is
Think I might have gone the other way, increased depression. So much so that I stopped going to gym for about 3months.
I’m depressed and going to the gym just works for me it makes me forget about it and just makes me want to keep going no matter how sore and tired my body is I just love it:3
It makes you feel better, makes u want to eat better, makes you more attractive and confident, makes you get more girls, makes people respect you more, makes you respect yourself! And can be therapy in itself to a stressful work week or life in general! I promise you if anyone sticks to a lifting program with some cardio thrown in as well for 1 whole year, YOU WILL NEVER LOOK BACK! And I’m talking 3-5 days a week every week! After about 3 months you will be addicted and after a year of it as well as eating descent, the results will shock the fuck out of you and you have officially become a gym rat! It’s as addictive as any drug out there to me
I’ve been lifting weights hard for 3 months but it’s not helping me.
I made yesterday my record on squatting and now my penis hurts. I have no idea why. But that is an idea for another information filled animation!
Yes it is100% i tuened y life 360 degress from being a homeless depressed junkie to be a stuper fit happy succesful man all thanks to lifting weights
I have clinical depression and following a regular exercise routine and a healthy diet have done so much for my health, physically and mentally, that to list them all would take all day. Depression is a very complex phenomenon and there’s no one size fits all approach, for me a consistent and balanced fitness regime has given me so much to live for.
Dancing to my favorite songs like an idiot while no one watches always cheers me up. And yes, just like you mentioned in the video, some of us feel more depressed after the “happiness” rush.
Have missed the gym for 4 days now because of dizziness, increased heart rate, lose of appetite and headaches and it feels terrible.
Mentally I feel like breaking down any minute right now…
I go to the gym to lift 3-5 times a week, with improving form and gradually heavier and heavier weights but just can’t shake the depression.
I have no friends to go out, my gf is the only person is there for me to go out and be with, I got fired from my job because I have stuttering and I can’t provide good service as a food runner, I’m unemployed for 2 months now, going to the gym makes me feel better, getting the pump is the best, I feel like being alone gives me more time to work on myself and makes me strong
Yes! I am an example of someone who had depression and solved it by going to the gym. Ever since I lifted and trained consistently, no more depression. Not only that, but I perform much better mentally as well.
Hey, could you do a video on amp citrate? Looking into that supplement but im reading a lot of mixed ideas.
I don’t know about depression but I’m recovering from a recent break up and going to the gym and lifting weights does make me feel better, at least for the time I am there.
Can we have low testosterone and low estrogen at the same time(Men)?
You look incredible mate (23 year old speaking). I have a herniated disc as of a couple years ago. I’m grateful for it as I am now more conscious of how I train.
Liftinng weights makes me more depressed!! Cardio makes me less depressed!!
This study isn’t just words on paper, This is something I personally experienced. Before I started lifting I had depression I even thought about killing my self several times and it was on a weekly pace and now I have been lifting for six months 5 days a week and I never got depressed in 4 months, I mean thank God my friend lead me to weightlifting.
Improving, building and being the best version physically is the utmost priority in life… Prioritize your physical and all other aspects will follow such as mental, social, self-esteem, confidence, aesthetics, sex appeal,etc…….
For me it didn’t do anything, but hey, if it works for a majority it’s at least worth a try. It may help you eat better regardless because your cravings can change.
Great work Dean. Keep it up.
If you need help with your editing, please do not hesitate to let me know.
It would be a shame for you not to build muscle when these people accomplish it easily with Atomic Fat Loss (Look it up on google).
I can definitely say that going to the gym and toning my physique really helped my mood and depression. I was once a fat boi in high school, after going to the gym in college, I really became more confident.
How long should you weight train before taking a one week break? I have heard taking a 1 week break is necessary in letting your body recover fully say after 16 weeks of training with 1-2 days of rest. I have been lifting in 26 week intervals or 2 rest weeks a year. Should I rest more or are rest weeks unnecessary to maintain muscle gain and increase strength?
Humans are a physical being, and being active is important for our physical and mental health.
pic fit guy u should do a few on what each vitamin and minaral does just to spice it up a bitalso do about weighted vests medican balls and a few other bits and bat difrent yoga poses boxing i know ur a resitance workout guy but its not perfect lol
And sometimes training leads to body dysmorphia, which in turn leads to (more) depression.:(
ID be interested in hearing about the aerobic exercise benefits and studies that we’re mentioned in the first 30 seconds, maybe a good idea for another video?
I go to the gym 5 days a week and i do boxing 2 times a week. I’m still diagnosed with depression.
I suffer from depression since I was 11 years old (I’m 37 now), and weightlifting has helped me significantly. I feel more enthusiastic and optimistic.
I mean I lift weights like a fiend and have a pretty good physique, but still struggle with depression. Although the good physique does get me laid a lot, which does help lol
See that’s why I want to continue to powerlift for life. Strength, strong bones, joints.
I always get depressed when i hava a rest day, I simply don’t know what “normal” humans do with their time.
wear another underwear in the next videos this is already old
Lifting weights helps me release stress and anger and it makes me feel fit and healthy very much recommended and remember never push yourself too much
When you work out, if you are really willing to push through plateaus you need to concentrate and clear your mind, in other words, break the loop of negative thinking that spirals you into a depressed state. I found that to be the most beneficial aspect of it, along with the sense of accomplishment and confidence because of the fact I’ve done something awesome and that I’m that much better than myself had I not done it, which breaks the cycle of self-hatred/self-loathing as well.
It helped me during unemployment/ looking for a new job. Had a hard time 10 years ago, could not get a job….searching my ass of, no chance whatsoever. Only thing had help me keep my head straight, was training. Did not have money for a gym, so I made due at what I had at home. Did wonders both physically and mentally. So yeah, I can vouch for that resistance training works.
Cardio MADE ME depressed, switched to lifting weights and never looked back����
I get depressed when looking at guys lifting at least twice what I can lift.
I started lifting weights around 2015 and that was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. 1.5 years ago I had a bad motorcycle accident that left me with fragmented tibia and fibula of the left leg. All those months until recovery the only thing that kept me going and kept me from being depressed was the thought of recovering fast in order to start exercising again. Six months after the accident and with titanium plates on both bones, I slowly started exercising again. Now, 1.5 year later, I have joined the crossfit community again and I couldn’t be happier.
Whatever the kind of exercise you do, as long as it makes you happier and stops you from overthinking or having bad thoughts, you need to keep doing it. Never give up no matter what.:)
Awesome video! Lifting weights has saved my life. It’s enabled me to become a strong and resilient person (physically AND mentally). I always tell people that they should try it when they are depressed, etc.. and it’s nice to have some research to back it up rather than just my own anecdote. Thanks for putting in the work and presenting it so more people will see this great data!
Strength-training has been shown to improve psychological health as well, by increasing self-esteem, confidence and self-worth.
I just stumbled across your channel and you have great tips. As a 55 year old male I am trying to ease back into lifting but to do it smart and safely. I hope you return soon.
One important result of strength training is increased physical performance. Muscles quite literally utilize energy to produce movement, functioning as the engine or powerhouse of the body. Strength training increases the muscles’ size, strength, and endurance, which contribute to improvements in our work, our favorite sports and hobbies, and our general day-to-day activities.
I feel really hyped during exercise and after going to the gym, but the days after are the worst. Being underweight (BMI of 16,5), vegetarian and probably lacking in proteins but taking supplements (magnesium, vit D, most of the B’s, Zinc) I still suffer from post-workout muscle pain, physical and mental fatigue and also brain fog. So it renders me unproductive and feeling useless during 3-4 days… I go to the gym 2days a week with boyfriend, mostly strength training (3-4 sets of 5-8reps).
I’m considering taking in BCAA supplements and Bêta-alanine. Cause I think my body is catabolyzing, breaking down my muscle’s protein’s and glycogene.
Im 22 years old, I’ve been in love with workouts since i was 20 years old. I never quit exercising and keep staying active everyday. Sorry if i had a bad english
maybe the supervision during training is what lowered depression, not the lifting
It helps because I feel so badass and attractive and like, powerful, after lifting…but is temporal. Sadly, when I feel super depressed, i dont feel like doing a thing…not even eating or working out.
I’m one of those unlucky people who’s depression is made worse by exercise. I’m SICK of people telling me to exercise because “it will release endorphins and make you feel better!”
Bullshit. It doesn’t work for everyone, definitely doesn’t work for me.
and yet here I was, crying for a solid 15 minutes under the shower after a 2-hour workout sesh
How long you train to get that chest? and did you drink protein supplement?
Going to the gym has done more for me than both meds and therapy together. So yeah, it works, and I’m also healthier because of it
I\’m not sure but,if anyone else needs to find out about weight training workoutsweightlifting training try Basarto Weightlifter Warrior Blueprint ( search on google )? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it.
I’m bipolar and lifting weights helps me cope with my mania and helps me cope with my depression. It’s a way of balancing myself.
Does a pump in your bi and tricep mean that your muscle will grow. And that your doing the exercise right? (bicep curl and tricep extension I know it not related to this but just wondering?
Thanks for this video! You are so right. I’ve been lifting weights for the past 2 years. I now have good, lean muscle definition, but without bulk. It has also helped me with my overall energy levels. For any women out there reading this and still trying to decide if weight training is a good idea, just go for it! You owe it to yourself.
Great video Dean, full of great info to think about. Just Dean have you recieved a YouTube button plaque
Do a video on when to take protein before workout or after workout. That would helpn a lot
I love strength training! My fiance and I have been doing stronglifts 5 x 5 for the past few months. I’m a 23 yr old with chronic muscle pain due to tmj and scoliosis and I’ve noticed much less pain now that we’ve been lifting weights.
I’ve been lifting since 2015 and powerlifting since 2016. Lifting heavy changed my relationship with food and my body for the better. I have much more body confidence, and see food as helping to fuel my training rather than as something to fear.
My trigger word was when she said..’uh….extended.’ You just need 4-5 compound movements with a linear progression of weight moved. This is the kinda thing which makes people assume weight lifting isn’t for them..
I live in a senior condo. A common issue is that seniors start to fall, put out their arms to protect their face, and break their wrists.
My former blood/heart doctor emphasized strength training to protect my wrists in case of a fall.
Me. Male, Age 74. Three angioplasties, one in 96, a double in 97.
A question I posted elsewhere, since my heart rate stays around target, during most of my strength training, doesn’t that also count as aerobics?
Agree fully on mental benefits.
Benefits of exercise
Make us ready to face any stressful situation outside the world
Make us less responsive to depression and make us calm.
Help me stop over thinking and makes me to be in the present moment.
Automatically my posture gets erected while sitting and standing
Increases my ability to handle emotions and anger and fear
Why do people thinkyou bulk up? Lol…not if lifting low weight… Ive been strength training for a year..im 57…only strong muscles..no bulk lol. I will never go back to feeling weak again.. People wonder why their skin sags on their body? Lol, because you need muscle to hold the skin up..!
id be damned if becoming a gym bro didnt remove 80% of my depression
Weightlifting definitely helps my mental health. Until my tendinitis acts up and I can’t lift as much as I would like and then it kinda makes it worse:/
Are you natural or on steroids (maybe only testosterone)? Do you think your advices apply to naturals too or only for people on gear? Please clarify this, because most people say that the only way for naturals to grow is to get stronger, so we must lift heavy, the pump is a thing for steroid users. Also, this relaxed approach you promote now is only applicable to maintain the mass you already have, don’t you agree?
@ShopaholicOne Yes, during the “work” phase or the concentric contraction of the targeted muscle. Be well. Alycia
I think you blow out during strenght training wen you bring the weights up. At least that is what i do:)
BODY PUMP IS MY LIFE NOW! at 54 I am loving the feeling of strength and personal power I feel doing it…
