JM Blakely: the Muscle Whisperer
I want Will Tennyson to try the JM bulking diet
4 hours of JM, thats a gift 🎁🎉🎁
This would have been a $99.99 4 tape VHS set 20 years ago haha
I will never get sick of hearing JM speak. I learn something new every single time! Awesome Table talk ! Thank you
his laughter when he jokes at 1:06:20 that his program is the best program anybody ever invented on the planet , ahahah I love this guy.
The only guest I’ll never get tired of listening to 💯💯
JM is the best. I feel very fortunate I was able to listen to his musings on life, lifting, and everything in between live on Friday nights at Worlds in Columbus. I was able to have this live and in person for a large part of my 20s. There are life lessons he told me then I still hold close and reflect on and I'm 40.
Man...I've got so many stories. I remember the first time I walked in there he was like 300+ just chowing down on donuts lmao. All his recipes for bulking concoctions. He also worked with a friend of mine with his super slow reps + bulking routine etc and dang...I just learned so much.
I watch these purposefully, twice, then all the times after. First time is listening intently to JM. Second time is observing intently, Dave listening intently to JM.
Dude,this dude is the Bob Ross of strength. Also I wish I could incorporate more of this into my strongman training. I deal with joint pain often
My only complaint with JM is his voice is so soothing I can't make it through the whole podcast without getting sleepy.
Seeing JM & knowing his intensity and background... Then hearing him. It's not what you'd expect. It's like the voice of a physiciary councilor in a powerlifters body. It's trippy. Super super smart guy though
I thoroughly enjoy listening to JM talk through a problem.
I really like how Dave listens to JM, Dave is a great host, he always listens carefully NO MATTER who's sitting in the other side of the table but I don't think there are many guests that make Dave think so much and listen carefully as much as JM does.
I agree I think it's JMs wild/awesome way of speaking. #1 he is so humble, he wouldn't speak on things if he wasn't confident in them. #2 he almost speaks like Yoda lol. Not bad grammar but the concepts seems simple until you really listen. You really have to focus on the words he chooses or you will be lost and or misinterpret. But if you do focus it's like a secret key to pandoras lifting box
I didn’t know who Dave or JM were until a week ago when I started looking at powerlifting.
What an amazing “podcast?”. I love the chats about anything and everything around training. The honesty, the openness. It’s so refreshing.
Since I’m so far behind I’m enjoying working through these as I go on my morning walks.
And JM, a brilliant insight into aspects not typically discussed
Incredible self depth and sharing. Whether you agree or disagree I commend the honesty, openness, and what’s driven it. Thank you both so much for the depth of the dialogue from training to life. Dave has created magnificent platform for people to be honest about whatever the subject. Thank you for this breath of realness in the world today
One (of several) reasons I admire JM is you can tell that words and context very much matter to him. If he misspeaks he will very intently correct himself to be clear as possibe to those of us listening.
Dave, you are able to poke JM's mind so well and conversations get really deep. Love these videos!
Thank you for this!!! Didn’t even start listening yet, but I know it’s GOLD!!!
That section about slowing down your bar speed with sub-maximal loads while approaching your sticking point and exploding through it once you hit it was genius.
Such a brilliant message. More people need to understand this. Passion beats discipline. The man who runs because he loves to run is going to run further than a man who forces himself to run and hates every second of it.
JM is my favorite guest!
I like how gentle he sounds it very soothing to listen to. great advice great talk 👍
I always love episodes with JM. He gives me a vibe of the wise old man at the top of the hill that has lived everything a thousand times over. His calm voice and the beard are just adding to that feeling.
The one thing Dave has going for him is he comes off as a very genuine person who is dispensing info to help people get better at lifting and sometimes in life. You see he gets respect from a wide group whether it's old Westside guys or science guys like Mike Israetel or Greg Nuckols or sports coaches Phil Daru or Joe DeFranco and powerlifting guys like Haack and Hoff and bodybuilders like Meadows and Missy. They all know Dave has put the time in to be a great lifter himself and build up and help the community as a whole. He gets that respect. Him and his company support the lifting community in all its forms.
My favorite guest!
All interruptions possible happen in one episode . If it rains it pours :D, but they keeped their cool. ( at least 2 hours in the episode)
He’s my favorite person to listen to
Love JM! Dont hesitate to bring him back pls
What an amazing conversation
Man JMs great to listen to. Very intelligent man and well spoken
Cheers guys
I love listening to JM.
Thank you Dave and JM for sharing your knowledge!
Imagine a conversation between JM and Jordan Peterson. 🤩
I'm super glad I took the time to listen all the way to the end of this one the last 40 minutes or so we're the best part. Thanks to JM and Dave
I had a question for Dave based on the JM discussion about passion, discipline or love for working out at the end of the podcast. In Dave’s world today with working out he still trains legs has hard has he can today. It may be different then at west side in terms of exercises but not the challenge. Is it discipline, passion, or the love of it that motivates him to mentally and physically still experience the challenge of leg day?
All 👂’s! Great talk, as always!
bro is gentle wisdom
Yesss
Awesome podcast
NEW JM??? YEEEEAAAAH!
Love it

Why are there no comments
Because everybody is too busy being mind blown
I’m not sure I’m following JM’s take on the isometric contractions idea. Why does he consider this inherently easier to recover from? I understand the idea that creating maximal mechanical tension can be desirable in this context, but if we are producing maximal tension are we not also producing maximal stress? Which is hard to recover from? Is the implication that less total volume = less total stress, which requires less recovery despite increased intensity? Hopefully that question makes sense. I’ll have to re listen and see if I’ve missed something. Great episode!
good question, not everything is linear on lifting, just because something creates more stimulus doesnt mean it's harder to recover from than something else, and as you said it yourself very nicely, volume is harder to recover from than lets say .. 3 sets of singles at 98% or something, but which one did it create more stimulation and will cause the body to adapt?? Mike Mentzer for example used to train with SO LITTLE VOLUME, he just made sure every rep had a reason to be there and caused almost maximal stress
Do the math. In a typical set, you get exactly one isometric on the last rep that fails. You try, it stops, you try harder, it still refuses. You end the set, unable to perform another rep. You've done one isometric. If you are programmed for 4 sets of that movement, you experience 4 full MVIC reps in total. By doing the reps as outlined, adding MVIC reps inserted between the concentric and eccentric parts of the lift, you get 2 PER EACH REP! Even in just ONE SET you'd get to the point of MAX tension. That works to eliminate the unproductive first few reps in a set of 8 or 10. Do you believe you grow from the first three reps in a set of 10? Sure the last three maybe. But not the whole ten. This way, no rep in any set is lost to ineffectiveness. So, two sets yields far more stimulation. You do beli3ve you can recover well and easily from just a TOTAL of 8-10 reps for an ENTIRE SESSION, right?
@@jm7thlevel237 Thank you so much for typing this. I had trouble understanding this too.
Edit: Don't you usually use another account to answer comments? Just want to let you know in case it was an accident.
Easier to recover from because the overall external load (weight) is lighter
As for the maximal tension relating to maximal stress, that is true for the BRIEF moments of isometric involvement. The OVERALL stress to the WHOLE ORGANISM is greatly REDUCED engaging in this method, thus easier to recover from and has fewer "bends and straightenings" of the joint. As well as less external weight and inertia from the mass and momentum from the barbell. There are more factors, but you get the idea just with those advantages to recovery. Try doing it with 48 hours in between and use yourself as a guinea pig. Teach yourself the truth of it. ...and GROW!
This is like asmr
So what I'm hearing is that if my max Bench was 225 and my triceps (lockout) are my weakest point:
225 is only my max for my lockout, it is not my max for my chest or the first part of the Bench. So I should take some off the first half of the Bench and explode with more energy I saved cruising off the chest when I hit the half way point to prepare for lock out?
If I understand that correctly this is different from training your weak points, it is breaking up a lift and learning how to blast or cruise through certain parts.
It's different from a normal "train your weak points" thought because by doing that with this same example I would blast off my chest like always and hope there would be less of a slow down or stop at the lockout. With this method I intentionally slow down my strong points (off chest) that don't need the force and focus on blasting through my weakest points where the weight is truly my max.
I don't know if I understand what he was saying correctly but it still seems to make sense lol
You have nearly grasped the concept. You know how to blast off the chest, as you say. This training is to teach you how to apply more force at, and through, your stick. I.e. to blast into the stick. You do indeed take the focus off of what you already know, and smoothly press through the beginning of the lift, then accelerate into and through the stick to the top. Then, you unite the two learned accelerations (off of chest and through the stick) into a concrete whole. This is different in principle from accelerating the whole way to the top from the chest. Training that way with submax loads (as nearly all training is) yields the problem that is presented; namely great drive off the chest only to stall at a "sticking point" where bar speed drops off to a hair above zero, or literally zero. By exploring teaching a specific drill like this that teaches the motor pattern of accelerating through that very stalling point, one gets practice "feeling" the WILL to drive through right where you need it. You get specific training of the musculature right in that spot, and with diligent practice of INTEGRATING the newly practiced acceleration into your existing stroke, you may expect remarkable results. The actual sensation of doing the exercise in this way feels very natural and right and one easily gets the inkling that it will "pay off" in spades. You'll feel the rightness of it in the first session. The timing of the integration needs patience and dilligence, but is well worth it. You have good observation, my friend. I hope it is useful to you.
@@jm7thlevel237 That was very well worded and totally makes sense. I am going to screen shot this to help me explain this concept of training/focus on to some gym buddies. Thank you for the response!
Ask JM about his pet rock.
I'm telling Dr. Mike Israetel on you JM..
A better way to it would be to push the bar down on his eccentric
this man is the Abbot of the iron game
Comment for the Algo
He killed like 100 people already and nobody will tell me otherwise
These are full if nuggets.
I couldn’t find any segment on the bulking diet
damn, thats what im here for
McDonald's, chinese food, pizza, ice cream, chocolate bars. Get as many dirty calories as you possibly can. Get fat fast. Then start eating clean again and lean out. That's pretty much it.
Edit: when he says fast he really means it. This diet is meant to last weeks not months or years
I’m almost finished with the video, had to go through his strange spiritual spiel and everything, if he doesn’t whisper his bulking diet into my ear before the end I’m going to be pissed 😂
2h50 for me
He is whispering like Joe biden!?
I can identify 100% with what JM says about the music and stuff at around 2:20:00 , before a lift or while lifting I m blasting Tool and Pantera and other intense stuff but when its over and its recovery time I immediatly switch to sth like REO or Journey or jazz. But I don't force it comes naturally.
