Hey coach. I get the feeling your arms were terrible at one time or another. Could you sum up a basic approach on how to attack this on a weekly basis in your next Q&A ? Thanks 👍
I want this guy to get more traction on UA-cam. Definitely brings valuable info to the table and we all get to benefit from his time invested. Thanks so much sir.
Question: What is your opinion on rest time between sets, and when training for example push, should I do all chest, then shoulders and then triceps, or alternate.
My opinion is Legs:You should alternate between quads and hams to have the most power output and mechanical tension. Push:You could do lateral raises between chest exercises,or flys between shoulders, but for anything else,since they all work together i do chest,then shoulders then tris. Pull i alternate between mid/upperback and lats,same logic with legs,but i dont get quite the same extra power output.Biceps in the end since they are boring AF 😅
My side delts completely blew up doing high rep partials. I am thankful to John Meadows for sharing his methods because nothing got my side delts to really grow until I did that. Heavy partials, and drop sets for side delts and I guarantee you your side delts will grow.
How important is training to failure? Is training to failure necessary for maximum muscle growth or is it possible to build the same amount of muscle with submaximal weights and 1-3 reps left in the tank, as long as I progress from workout to workout or over time? Thanks
Try both methods, stick with what you progress the best overall with in terms of numbers and size. Personally I like ”doing as much as possible with as little volume as possible”, lower volume mostly everything to failure has worked best for me by far
how should I train when I don´t have a specific goal what I want to accomplish, i.e. what principles should I apply (conjugate, powerlifting, bodybuilding etc.) when I want to achieve a decent level of fitness, above average, get strong, build some solid muscle to look good naked but no instagram sensation, be healthy and most important, to become the best version of myself and find piece and don´t look for the perfect program etc. every other week? Thank you very much for sharing so much great content
When do you determine when to do unilateral or bilateral exercises? Example, single leg hamstring curl vs both leg hamstring curl. With the more time involved, power output, muscle imbalance etc. When should you do single leg/arm vs just doing it both together?
I personally do a unilateral exercise per bodypart,focusing on the weaker side. 2 for lats because i think the activitation is superb doing one at a time,since you can "crunch" on your side and fully shorten the lat. I would love to see the answer to this one
For upper body, I like to start the session with a unilateral exercise to get a good focus and pump in the target muscle and exert good force with each side individually (since you can direct more energy into one side at a time) and then move on to bilateral, but for legs I'll do the opposite because I'll get more bang for my buck hitting the big compounds first and then finishing off with unilateral work.
What does it mean if my logbook numbers are going up but my bodyweight is staying in the same range? Am I building muscle or is the lack of the scale going up a sign that there is no muscle building occurring ?
Your body is probaby going through a body recomposition. You may be losing fat while gaining muscle. If you're a newbie and participating in resistance training, it's more than likely. Or you've taken a sabbatical, and returning to the gym. If you're a longer term veteran, your calories may be at maintenance level or under. You may be getting stronger, and not necessarily bigger.
Thoughts on very high rep circuit style warmups for an upper lower split to potentiate and activate the muscles for the workout and to build gpp? Lower body for example 300 reps of lower body work in roughly 12-15 minutes. For example 4 sets of 25 reps with low intensity belt squats, 4 sets of 25 reps low intensity leg curls and 4 sets of 25 reps low intensity reverse hypers. I would love to hear your opinion if you think its a good idea or just unnecessary junk volume when the goal is muscle growth?
High reps in a short time period sounds more like endurance training, which is the opposite end of the spectrum to muscle building. To be honest, you'd likely be better using standard warmup sets for your exercises, which shouldn't take more than 10/15 minutes anyway if it's hypertrophy training (as opposed to pure strength training where rest will be longer)
Train them first _(when you have the most energy.)_ Pump lots of blood into it by using light weight, high frequency. Then all subsequent delt exercises will keep that muscle activated. Best way to grow anything, is mind to muscle connection, so make sure you're not activating traps, triceps etc. when trying to perform the exercises.
Hey Coach , so a bit of a personal question that ive been struggling with , hope I can get some thumbs for the help! I went down from 107kg (235lbs fat not bodybuilder) to right now about 79kg (175lbs) in a span of a year. I started with a deficit and every time I hit a plateau I made the deficit bigger , and ofcourse have some cardio added not just take out calories. So now its been almost a year and I am very happy with the results, however , I am about 10lbs shy of the weight I want to achieve and my calories are at 1800kcal and I am not sure how much lower I can get , since I am feeling the diet fatigue setting in for sure. Should I power through , get to 1600kcal or even 1500kcal and just get 10lbs down in a month or so , or do I need to go on a break for awhile and go back to achieving my weight goal later on? I would appreciate any sort of help , thank you as always for these educational and informative videos!
You maintenance calories should be about 2500 at that body weight. I would go to about 2200-2300 calories and do some decent lifting 5 times a week. No cardio. Your body will thank you and start building muscle, then you should be able to drop that remaining fat through body recomp 👍
Re: working around pain or injury, finding pain free alternatives etc I think that another good point/add-on that often gets grossly overlooked is when incorporating new alternative exercises…train them at a TRUE *RPE 7-8* for the first week or two. People struggle enough as it is with Periodization in practice, with conventional movements…it’s even more important when rehabbing or simply testing out new movements to really TEST them, and ease into them. RPE 7 is incredible and even more so with attention to tempo I say this as a natty broad, recovering from hormonal damage done during bodybuilding prep and recovering from another unrelated injury…forced to put off my building season lol 😅 My new program is a whole lotta RPE 7 but it’s honestly perfect for where I am
Loving these Q&As Joe, keep them coming! I currently want to bring up my legs as I've been neglecting them a bit. Doing two leg days a week atm, Mondays are for ham and glutes and Fridays are for quads. Would you hit hams, even if your quads are still a bit sore to the touch on a Monday or rather include an additional rest day/arm day etc? Thanks and again, great content as usual
Please make a video explaining rotator calf and how to strengthen it, whenever I do pushing excercise I feel it, even though I do scapulae shoulder before any pressing movement I still feel it :(
Hi coach, I noticed that most of the answers of the questions is depending on the notion of: "as long as you make progress". My question is to go a bit deeper how to really know that you make a progress, because in my opinion this thing we call progression is also so ambiguous as many other things in the game of building muscles. I mean even the weight scale or measurement tape which are accurate devices can not say that you gain muscle and only muscle.
My question is, how to do you eat a surplus, when you're genuinely not hungry? I can't even come close to the calories that I "need." I prioritise protein intake, and that in itself is hard to do, and so satiating. It almost seems, my ghrelin hormones are dormant. I eat keto, sometimes TKD and intermittent fasting - (for the hormonal regulation, health benefits and longevity etc.) and feel I might need to introduce carbs to get hungrier, however I don't enjoy them or want to sacrifice the benefits of a low insulin diet, just to feel hungry. Thank you. Quite enjoying your channel and training knowledge.
I always see detailed info on warmups and topsets, and that's usually what we see in videos. But how do you structure all the sets and reps inbetween? Pyramid up? If so how many sets or do you use a prescribed weight jump like 10-20% of top set all the way etc. And is the rep range similar all the way up or do you use reduced reps like Mike O'Hearn and just rep out the top sets? It would be nice to see more coaches go through how they approach an exercise from first to last set. Thanks for all the great info!!
Asking this under the assumption of the notion that one can get injured outside the gym owing to poor posture, what would your actionable advice be to maintain and improve on one's posture , also what is the gold standard of good posture anyway (haven't a clue, so asking)? P.s love the information on your channel
Question: winter is approaching and I don’t want to Get too fluffy is their any cardio recommendations on how long a session and intensity and how often, possibly a recomp or even getting leaner whilst on maintenance calories or being in a slight caloric deficit…
Hi coach, regarding the question "how do you know if you have recovered?" I do not totally agreed with your answer, in which you said that if there is no progression than you are not recovered. Because what if you train "wrong" i.e. not hard enough, not enough volume, frequency or vice versa? Will you go through this points which I mentioned here?
There's been clear evidence that cluster training is beneficial for hypertrophy; as in more sets and fewer reps, less rest, to equal total volume. But what about training geared toward strength and power? Is there any evidence (scientific or anecdotal) training, for example, 6x2 @ 85% compared to maybe a typical 3x4 for the same weight in the same amount of training time?
Is it okey to change hack squad to leg press if i get more knee flexion? Also i do rear foot elevated splits squads as my second exercise. Should i prioritize something like leg curl or leg extension or is it okey to do it as second?
What supplements would you recommend? I remember you said all supplements should be consulted with a doc. Looking for optimum performance at the gym and hypertrophy. Omega 3, creatine, citrulline, EAA, anything else? Any bulk/cut specific choises?
Good day. My question is: I train 5-6 times a week. When I’m on off season I find that I recover easily but as I come down in calories I feel like 4 days a week is as high I can go. So should I just stick to training 4 a week or should I change my split to accommodate more training days
How to do hack squat / squat if you have a Flat Foot. Intentionally shift to outside of a foot Or nice 3 points of contact (ball of foot, outside, heel) ..pls advice
It's great for strength because you can load up with less fear of failure in the bottom portion of the rep, but it does lack that good stretch that can stimulate more hypertrophy.
how much will cardio affect CNS fatigue. if i were to do Push pull legs rest repeat and add cardio on my rest day would that be okay as i always feel drained to do cardio after each day and don’t want to before as i will be more fatigued going into the workout. Thanks
Hi I'm a high school student trying to make the biggest gains possible, but since I have to keep up with school work and my life I usually get 7h 30 min to 8h of sleep, is that enough? Should younger people sleep more for muscle recovery? Thanks in advance
That amount of sleep is OK for sure, but I have read that adolescents can need up to 10 (yes 10!) hours of sleep per night, so if possible try to get a couple of early nights at the weekend.
can advanced or intermediate trainees gain lean muscle mass while cutting? enhanced or natty. and if I see progression in weight, does it always mean that I gained lean mass?
How much does foot angle in a squat movement effect quad activation? i am fairly certain it impacts adductor activation, and I think should be dictated on hip structure - but what impact does the angle have on quads? also same Q for foot distance.
I think squat depth, TUT and height of heel, has more effect on quad activation than degree of footing. I know I get better glute activation when my toes are slightly pointed out, whilst also imagining driving my knees outward as I squat. Mind to muscle connection is most important. I've seen people squat with 50% of their back 😂 it's not pretty.
@@NickDePietro1- Thank you. You're welcome. I realised after the fact, that you asked this 10 months ago. I'm confident, you would have had the answer by now (because you're inquisitive), but I'm glad we both have come to similar conclusions. 🙂 Happy training.

Depends on your volume. Try adding another set or 2 in your sessions.

whats the best way to build rear delts
volume / intensity / frequency
thnx alot
Volume and frequency. They're a small muscle, you can hit them after back day and after another session in the week
Train them first _(when you have the most energy.)_ Pump lots of blood into it by using light weight, high frequency. Then all subsequent delt exercises will keep that muscle activated.
Best way to grow anything, is mind to muscle connection, so make sure you're not activating traps, triceps etc. when trying to perform the exercises.
