Food is the most anabolic thing you can put in your body….. all food has utilizable nutrients

Now I feel like going to my gym and announcing, "hey, I am the best spotter here... Let me know!"

I know it’s an old video but this video really opened my eyes for the importance of proper hydration. As JM said he is not talking about dehydration, just suboptimal hydration. I’ve used this trick each time I have a big lift lined up and it works absolute wonders

Hello JM Blakley, I am a big fan with a question. I want to be 220 lbs in Bodyweight. I’m a decent bencher at 5’8” at 203 lbs. I don’t train legs that much and my squat is 280 lbs. If I took my squat from 280-440 lbs, do you think I could weigh 220 without bulking, but rather maintaining calories? Brilliant video by the way 🇮🇪

I notice the wrists are bent back and am under the impression they should be straight like a punch under the bar. Is that less or not important for this method?

Top video 💪💪😊

really great video thanks JM.

Tomorrow is my first day after 13 months of rehabbing my body. But it is also the first day since 2018 when I blew my pec off the bone not long after blowing my tricep off the bone. Now I am excited because I will achieve my best ever with the information I have gathered for myself. Thank you for this wealth of knowledge. I wasn’t joking when I say, I’ve been playing your stuff in the background around the clock to keep myself steadfast, strong. my old powerlifting coach had mentioned you before I remembered way back 2005 in Limerick, Ireland and seeing you in the magazine back then. After I exploded my chest, I started seeking dopamine from external sources. I am finally passed, ready to make those internal gains again 😎

this lady has some impressive scap control

Game changer

Yuh

These videos are awesome. Not special effects. No fireworks. Just honest information for humans. Thank you JM

I feel like I’m not getting enough, I sweat a lot also. Do you recommend adding anything to water, after a workout where you sweat a lot.

Thank you for this!

Cool video. Are there any simple exercises one can do to "train" their desire for something? You mentioned somewhere that you can 'train' Discipline by tying your shoes repeatedly at some interval. I'm wondering if there's an elegant exercise like this for Desire.

Shalom. Thank you blessings in Jesus Christ. Trying to get back in your 36 system. I Did it not only for the bench but all three major movements. Even over head press or worked for me. However my eating and rest was nearly impossible due to my line of work. I WILL START AGAIN GOD WILLING GRANT ME GOD SPEED. STRENGTH AND POWER AND FORCE IN YESHUA MESSIAH OUR CHRIST.

JM thank you. I have terrible anxiety daily. Your insight to training the mind has helped me tremendously.

I love it!

I am so glad i found your bids bro! Saw you on elitefts and your library is great yiu have a great camera presence JM! Adding JM presses to my routine and had to watch the video by the creator!

very good! I wonder if we can stretch the pec minor more effectively from this position, instead of contracting. It would be so useful for correcting rounded shoulders. There are many videos in YT about it (like door stretch etc) but they are not as effective since the pec minor is mainly a respiratory muscle, linking the scapula and the ribs.

Thank you for the talk

Wise words. You couldn't be more right. I was already injured, but got cut down by Covid. It's been a long three years back to something resembling progress. In line with what you said: compare not to where you were at your best, but how much better you are than yesterday post-injury, is exactly what I started doing. Drawing a new baseline and forgetting that the weight for my deadlift now used to be my bench. It doesn't matter because two years ago I couldn't deadlift at all. I keep thinking back to when I couldn't even do a bodyweight squat or even kneel down.

Chicken and rice never worked. Peanut butter and jelly, bananas, apples raisins milk and eggs. Easy calories 💪

Been having a nagging injury in my chest and the blood flow this brought into my pec minor helped a ton. Thank you, JM!

Did you do any band work (Pull Aparts, rotator cuff, tricep pushdown etc) or bodyweight work at home on rest days? Light intensity active recovery. Or was it pure rest days? Would the added elbows bends from a banded tricep pushdown or a band pull apart effect recovery?

😂😂😂😂 "oranges". Wow, I busted out laughing when I heard that.

How did you progress with the Singles portion of your workout? I know near max singles but did you increase the singles by 5lbs like you did the 6x6 (only increasing when you moved up on your 6x6)? Or was there a set progression each week no matter what? Or were the singles done by feel each workout (Auto Regulated)?

Great video. Thanks, JM! 👍

Thank you Mr Blakley. Another quick shoutout & thank you, when I drove to meet you about 18 months ago, you completely altered my bench technique it was was a giant leap forward for my training. Once my shoulders adapted to the wider grip, (which took months) I hit 2 PRs within about 3 months apart. I’ve had a couple unrelated setbacks but the trend line is still moving up.

Dude! this works serratus anterior

Do you believe bench grip should be at maximum width no matter what? How about for a shorter lifter (5’5” with a wingspan of 5’2”) ? I wonder about size of the lifter as well… arms being that short but weighing around 240lbs. Do you believe maximum width bench grip is right always?

With the 6x6 program. Near competition you move to 6x3. Was there any taper outside of that? Week before drop some sets? Drop the JM Press? Or did you go right into the competition from your 6x3 with 3 near max singles and 6x3 JM Press? Thank you

Wondering if this is good for blood flow work in the knees

Will try this out in my next session! This advice reminds me of something I used to do when I was mountain biking. When I would ride rough terrain I'd look at the rocks or roots I wanted to avoid. And I was always told to look where I wanted to go. Look at the path between the obstacles, not at the obstacles, and the body will follow your eyes. Tried it and it helped immensely. I can only imagine this works the same way. We look at what we do right and teach our brain to do our best rep every rep.

I think this is great advice advocating for training with a lot of intensity. I'm trying to maximize intensity in my own training right now. I think one simple practical step anyone can take to facilitate this is to train less often. It makes each workout much more important and minimizes fatigue between workouts. I'd love to hear more about how we can optimize our recovery. Peace!

I disagree with you on a lot of things. This however, is right on the money!

Coach, ever since you told me about this months ago, it has helped me tremendously

Thank you J.M. Your time and is not taken for granted.

I really appreciate you passing on your knowledge to all of us J.M.

Absolutely, JM. The best repeatable result will create the most overall improvement.☺❤

Another great idea. Been using your near max singles followed by the 4x6 and 4x3 close to competition for my last meet. It was the most stable and best my bench has felt. I will definitely continue using it on my way to 500 bench. Was wondering if the XTM and Building The Perfect Beast tapes are around. If so how could i purchase them Thanks

very nice, how about a teaspoon of extra sodium while drinking all that water? wouldn't that help extra?

Super important advice. I started working out a year ago in a small gym and I would look around the room between sets and look at people training and almost none of them worked hard. They had a complete neutral, blank face showing no effort and their last rep looked exactly the same as the last one. I was much weaker than a lot of the guys in the gym but now I'm stronger than most of them and caught up to even my friends who started working out months or even years before me simply because I wanted every set and every workout to be as high quality and as high effort as possible. I've never been stronger than before and I'm catching up to everyone I know in my lifts.

difference between🏃🏽‍♂️ exercise and TRAINING🏋🏽

I deeply respect you dude. Always have and found how you explain things to be authentic and from a place of genuine care/kindness that is very rare these days.

This Mesocycle must make the next one too easy to repeat.

As usual Awesome information coach. Appreciate your efforts of spreading awareness free of cost. Following your advices have always resulted positive. BTW you look like that you have joined a Harley Biker Gang, did you ?

Peace and blessings JM. Yes I train but recovering is the problem. Work and survival…
