HARDCORE HOME GYMS Ep. 7 - THOMPSON'S GYM with Jen Thompson

[@jujimufu]

Thompson Gym got that Oldschool Garage Gym character like in the 80s and 90s, where neighborhood friends and team mates would meet up to lift big, push each, and BBQ after. Such an awesome place!

[@ace-grip316]

Hi I tryed login on to there app but it wont let me

[@charleszurawski3257]

I agree.

[@MattPlays96]

Hey Juji I have kind of a weird question. Have you ever been approached about going on the Joe Rogan Experience? Its seems to me you'd be a great guest. you and Joe both obviously love fitness, have some mutual friends, are entertainers, and he already reps your brand. He knows who you are, I just dont understand how this happened already! idk if you even will see this but I was just curios and figured I wouldd have a better chance getting a response from you than Joe lol.

[@ace-grip316]

I agree

[@mikeylikesit01]

why do you look like that? no one thinks that looks good

[@afz3003]

Her arms are insane

[@jujimufu]

yep! her arms were growing so much from powerlifting accessory work that she actually started competing in strict curl competitions a couple years ago haha

[@HighMaintenancePS]

Massive fan of these guys. A shinning example of having to be smart, organised and positive if you want to achieve at a high level.

[@frankmorris2603]

These people are on point with their approach to strength training. Several philosophies concur with very successful international lifters i knew in the 80s and 90s.

[@Massenomics]

Jen Thompson and Juji, two of our favorites!

[@knightveg]

wow, when I was 19 was training hardcore bodybuilding gym, had this guy who helped me learn how to squat and deadlift , now he had been doing powerlifting for over 30 years and told me to fix place on wall to keep my head and my eyes in line , so bring back memories when they were talking about the squat and keep head up look at something to fix the eyes on

[@jeroldjacobs5563]

I can’t tell you how much I love this series! Gets me thinking about how I would show off my own little gym space for a camera crew if I ever got the chance 😂

[@oogalook]

"Power couple" now applies to these two and nobody else in my head.

[@xiRePeNTx]

Absolutely agree 💯

[@drip1247]

She was my highschool weight lifting coach

[@johnblackwell645]

Wow that’s so cool….I heard she’s a great coach

[@ramtron1775]

That's cool

[@FrankD23]

She doesn't have the deep voice.. But there's no way she's natural🤔🤷‍♂️

[@SolareofAstora]

My highschool coach sat in a corner and read a book. Litterly a figure it out for urself situation. This was before youtube was big so no real info. Idk how there wernt injuries

[@Jesusislordandsavior-b9k]

She is my Alger culture teacher at Lincoln charter

[@BMO_Creative]

When Mr. Thompson said "Legs are made to just carry your chest around" I laughed out loud!

[@BurstingVeins1]

I'm so happy hearing they do 8 day splits, those rest days are so necessary. Even though I don't do regular lifting, I still find I'm much stronger after an extended rest like a week after a good heavy lift session, so a 2-3 day rest between sessions makes a lot of sense. It probably helps to extend the amount of rest with age as well.

[@pathtooptimalhealth]

I played around with the days…3 days off and I’m weak. I basically workout bench Monday Wednesday Friday …legs Tuesday Thursday Like Jen said in the video, you gotta find what works for you.

[@bahamutr4270]

​@@pathtooptimalhealthi do the same. Although ill add an extra rest day if I really went hard. The muscles feel fresh to blast again after

[@pathtooptimalhealth]

@@bahamutr4270 no doubt - it can be a bit much. Don’t have the same drive at 50 as I did at 18 ☺️

They seem so humble, for pretty accomplished people. Great video.

[@jeffpeters9458]

Fantastic layout, thank you for sharing all these gyms.

[@TheBcoolGuy]

I just learned she is 51. Nearly my mother's age! Crazy. She looks younger than that (maybe 40?) and she is ridiculously strong.

[@nothx512]

No....she looks 51 maybe something like 55 with saggy boobs😂😂

This series keeps getting better and better. 🎉🎉🎉

[@TheNpc-w2e]

I vow to one day become great, this is my solemn declaration that I will one day become great, to write my name into history to get strong to become a goat of any strength sport. This is my soul in these comments.

They are such a chill couple, really enjoyable video.

Shes who I get my bench tips from

[@JC-vn2tm]

I want to see more of that spreadsheet!

[@PoppyJr11]

In the five years of lifting, I never heard doing curls to avoid bicep tears in over under deadlifts except in the last week, I have heard it twice.

[@finestnostalgia]

Yeah Deadlifting with a bent elbow and underhand always puts the bicep at risk no matter how strong it is

[@PoppyJr11]

@@finestnostalgia yeah, it’s one of those things that I never do personally, but it’s a good thing to keep in mind.

i will train my arms now before every workout the poverty bench and arms have to stop! thanks guys

[@jonanderson5137]

That's a babe, strong genetics. If she's juicing, she's doing it under supervision with a competent doctor.👍👍

[@pathtooptimalhealth]

She claims natural - and with her wanting 200g of protein a day - makes sense her arm size. I don’t care if people take - just want transparency (unlike Mike O’Hearn) 😜

[@Zedster88]

That is not a home gym. That is a gym that happens to be in a home.

Buffalo bar won't hurt you on bench press if you're doing it correctly, but if you're dropping it to your chest and catching it at the bottom like a powerlifter you will.

[@G.G.Ballin]

People talking loudly in the background is incredibly annoying.

[@shiwakuseven5859]

It is a nice gym, but I'm more interested in what strength training methods she used to become incredibly strong. Is she using Zatsiorsky's 4 strength training methods and Louie Simmon's Conjugate Strength Training Methods? It seems to me she is doing something different or, at least, extra, because almost all powerlifters are using Zatsiorsky's 4 strength training methods and Louie Simmon's Conjugate Strength Training Method. I suggest in future videos, ask these strength champions what special strength tips they are willing to reveal, like Tommy Kono, "The Greatest American Weightlifter of All-TIme" went out of his way to reveal.

[@pathtooptimalhealth]

She has a course that you can take if you really want to know.😊 I’ve tried it.

[@ENOCHSZUNXXXL]

Jen Thompson is 50? A Woman? Lifting more than your average 25 year old male gym Goer? Do the math.
