I didn’t understand why some body parts recovered quickly and others took such a long time. This video helped me a lot. I was struggling with this aspect and having difficulty figuring out how to plan my split. 👍
I hope his kid is doing ok. RIP Big Dog.
48 hours after the workout is actually the peak of my soreness.
I wish 15 years ago I had access to all this knowledge about training. So I was in the army for ten years and was a runner so most my training was around cardio. I got knee injuries and had to stop running so I turned to weights round about the start of last year. I used to lift but I didn’t know what I was doing. I’m natural also. I did PPL like advised 5-6 days a week. Not a bad split but I felt my arms didn’t grow and shoulders as much as my chest, back, legs etc. the volume was tiring I was on the gym about 1 hour 20 most days. It got on top of me with work and kids and my weights and reps began to lag. So I switched to bro split. Still couldn’t break the plateau then when work calmed down I switched to Arnold split. I have to say from the three I preferred Arnold split because the volume on your arms and shoulders is better then PPL but then again fatigue began to set in again. I looked at other training routines and looked into HIT. Not mentzer but Dorian Yates. I started his type of training I was in and out the gym in 30-40 minutes each session and my reps and weights are flying up. That’s not bullshit either. Do I have pic to prove? Not really. Muscle for a natural is slow about 3-4lbs 11 weeks. But my record states my weight and reps are going up so it must be working.
I love John, he's the man!
What if all of your body parts are weak?
Wish I would've been doing this sooner would've loved to have met John seemed very approachable
Keep his videos coming, new gym goers need to learn from John. RIP sir. 🙏
I'm so glad these are still popping up on my algorithm. His videos are beneficial to everyone
This guy is like if Luke Skywalker tried bodybuilding.
That mountain dog back. Really miss you and your content John
I generally recover stupidly fast, like I could do a workout that is really pushing it, and I’ll feel fine a couple hours later with no soreness the next day, but my legs definitely get more sore, although more importantly, I have shin splints that can’t seem to recover because I do cardio 4 times a week too, so to go easy on my knees I use compression sleeves and do legs once a week, with push and pull cycling strength and hypertrophy, and on the hypertrophy loop instead of legs I do more athletic work, and focus on isolating my weaknesses, since I have less control over them, they aren’t activated as much in my other workouts so I’m not really at risk of being sore for my next workout. I have rest in between each cycle so I workout 6/8 days, and occasionally take the flex day off as a second rest day when I need it. This has been working really well for me.
A real genius, very underrated trainer.
I truly miss John.
Good stuff
We still here, always will be. ☝️
