      When you stopped going to the gym, did you start gaining weight just as rapidly as you lost it? How about muscle? Did your muscle suffer rapid atrophy or was it gradual? More loosely, how long did it take for you to lose your prime physique you had achieved pre COVID?

      If you’re an amateur stay away from most of this stuff and just build strength around the basics. Trust me you’ll be doing yourself a disservice starting out with weird exercises like this. Master the basic movements and build strength. That means feet on the floor while your benching, doing regular shoulder presses, building your chest with presses and fly’s and dips, and triceps use ropes etc. A lot of this stuff is just made for content it’s not ideal , especially for a beginner.

    I’m a big fan of Jeff but I’m a bit suprised by some of the exercise selection here. I think the heavy set then feet up Larsen version is unnecessarily complex for Hypertrophy. This seems like a strength / Hypertrophy compromise. Why not just stick with a normal bench press or better still DB press. In my experience cable press arounds are just awkward and not good bang for buck. You’ve already done pressing so I don’t see the need for another press. Imo better options would be single arm cable flys which get the same cross over the centre line without the awkwardness of the press around. The Arnold press is an odd choice when the front delts were hit on the bench. I’d favour a standard DB shoulder press. And I think there are better tricep isolation exercises than the one noted. Just the manner of holding the cable like that cannot be loaded well. There are better ways to load the long head like overhead cable tricep extensions. I would credit Jeff’s great friend John Meadows for the Y raise who posted on this years before Berto but I agree they’re a good option.

    @quantumprofitlab Рік тому +2

    larsen press is sub optimal for hypertrophy. why would you purposely disadvantage yourself by being more unstable? planting your legs on the floor, results in more stability, which results in more force output from your chest shoulder triceps, better to just stick with 3 sets of regular bench.
    Same thing with the arnold press, doing a regular seated shoulder press at a high incline (going all the way up and down letting the dumbbells touch your shoulder) is much better for hypertrophy.

After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.

    Also, I was thinking, for example, in PUSH Day: we have Barbell Chest Press, I'd change it for the Incline Barbell Chest Press or Dumbbells Chest Press how much time have to be passed before I switch it with another exercies?
    Thank you for help.

    Will someone enlighten me if I'm overworking myself. I've been doing this program for 3 months and seeing good results tho.
    For my push day:
    Inclined dumbbell press 4x8
    Flat bench press 4x8
    Close grip bench press 4x8
    Decline bench press 4x8
    Pec deck 4x8
    Dumbell Lateral raise 4x15
    Dumbell Shoulder press 4x12
    Facepull 4x12
    Dumbell Front raise 4x12
    Rope push down 4x12
    Cable one side pushdown 4x10
    Skull crushers 4x10
    For pull day:
    Single arm lat pulldown 4x10
    Close grip pull down 4x10
    Wide grip pull down 4x10
    Barbell row 4x10
    Face pull 4x10
    Hammer curls 4x10
    Wide grip bicep curls 4x15
    Close grip bicep curls 4x15
    Leg day and core:
    Dumbell squat 4x15
    Deadlifts 4x10
    Leg press superset 3x8
    Dumbell Split squats 4x10
    Leg raise 4x15
    Decline crunches 4x15
    Around the world kettle bell 4x20 per side
    Heavy bag boxing 6x 3minutes
    Reps aren't fixed because I do progressive overload and sometimes other muscles get left behind on the weights so I make it up for their reps. I do this program for PPL then 2 days rest then I do it again. But I'm afraid that people are saying I might be overworking myself.

      From my knowledge its best to do a little less reps and definitely less sets on push day and do something called pyramid. Start with a weight u can do 10 reps with then go to a weight you can do 8 reps with then do 6 reps then back to 8 rep weight and 10 rep weight. I’m however not sure if you can do it with 4 sets and I’ve been wondering that myself so let me check

    nice vid Jeff. Many people do not bench correctly. They're too flat, use their Anterior Delts too much and end up with tendonitis and shoulder pain. Need to arch lower back, pinch shoulder blades, and push chest forward (shoulders back) to isolate the pecs. This way you can put more load in the right spot.
    You'll notice:
    1. Increasing chest strength and size.
    2. More nerve innervation to the chest during bench.
    3. Decrease in shoulder pain and tightness.

    So, as a 48yo man, I find that skipping any "warm-up" protocol altogether works best for me. Warming up does nothing for me but cost time I don't have & fatigue me before my training. I ran experiments in which I was the only test subject, it was a quadruple-blind study, so super legit, & the results weren't just clear, they were glaring. No joke, at my current age anyhow, I find that warming up is a rather big negative in every way, & I never find myself feeling tight/etc. at any time during a workout when I skip warm-up. On the other hand, when I do warm-up, I find myself loosing steam significantly easier all throughout, & towards the end I'm really struggling. Now, is this simply because I'm old? Perhaps. I choose to believe that it's because you don't see lions stretching before they pounce (whatever you do, do not Google this & then find multiple photos of lions stretching pre-pounce).

      One set means x amount of reps one time.

      Updated example:
      If you use a machine with two hands pulling towards you or bicep curling then:
      one rep = one pulling motion towards you with both arms
      For biceps this would be one curling motion with both arms for one rep.
      You would have to be more specific about which exercise you are talking about.
      For bench press has 4 warm up sets and 1 max weight set (80% of your 1 rep max).
      For max weight bench press aim for 4-6 reps according to Jeff.

    I enjoy following all Jeff's stuff as well as other experts in the field. And I've been training > 20 years. But this is really more about training hard, diet, sleep and recovery. There's no one lift / exercise or technique you must do or must not do. So I'm not going to follow this whole program to a T. I focus on warm up, pyramid up, and top set should be heavy where I struggle to get 6-8 and has me taxed sufficiently where I know I couldn't do that same set/reps again. I also try to avoid injury as much as possible, as injury could cause weeks to months of lost training. Also, 600mg helps.

I have been out of the gym for another seven years (30 to now 37) and don't have any idea where to start again plus being older I've noticed recovery seems to take a lot longer and soreness/doms remains longer. I understand muscle memory, but my cardio is gone and even light weight seems like a struggle. It's like my nervous system has completely forgotten how to lift. Really frustrating.

    Your stuff is awesome man. Just found it today and I’m definitely implementing it into my daily regiment. Thanks for posting this stuff.

    Another one that i think is better :
    1) 15° Incline db press
    2) Seated cable fly
    3) Slight Decline Db press(not the usual decline)
    4) Seated Overhead press
    5) Lat raises
    6) Rear delt fly
    7a) Standing overhead cable tricep extension (i don't know the exact name, but check online with this name)
    7b) Pushdowns
    Do 3 sets with 10-15 rep with controllable weights

    Just curious, what's the difference from your last PPL program to this PPL program? Is it just to switch things up a bit?

      I'm not Jeff but I can be fairly confident that he made a new PPL program because he has learned new techniques and there is new scientific data such that the old program is basically out of date and not taking advantage of every tactic for muscle growth. I would guess it's just a better program and there's no need to do the old one once this is out.

      Just to support what Sean said above, the new PPL has the intra-stretching, where as the old PPL didn't. Just one example, and I'm sure there will be many other changes that make it potentially the better option.

      Cynically, to earn more money, you need to keep releasing new programs. So this is probably switching a few things up because Jeff learned some stuff, but honestly, if you have the previous PPL program of his, you're good. If you just want to support him or are curious then sure, get this one too.

      @@DJcs187 This is more bodybuilding program then previous one.I have both and this one is perfect if you want to build muscle first one is more demanding because you have bench,squat,deadlift,overhead press on % this one is more free and ideally for some strength gains but ideally for long term.I have renesance periodzation and first legs push pulll and this one definitely best in my opinion because i can stick with this program for long long time and going over and over again.Between i m to old to focus to strength anymore 34 years is definitely time for this workout.

      Seems like maybe the original is more geared to getting stronger where as this one might be a bit more hypertrophic while maintaining strength?

    Do you think you can just stretch both pecs at once after hitting the left and right consecutively?

    I wonder what the value is of a day 1 push (chest, delt, triceps), day 2 pull (Back, biceps, delt), day 3 legs is over something more bro-y I've been doing:
    Day 1 Chest Biceps
    Day 2 Back Triceps
    Day 3 Shoulders Legs
    Can't you load up more upper body by stacking one group with legs rather than a pure leg day?
