High Intensity Chest Workout With IFBB Pros Sergio Oliva Jr & Luke Carroll

[@samwisegalenorn]

Now this is a real workout video. No stupid music cutting in every fifteen seconds, no staged workouts, no fake weights with fake expressions, no stupid fashion spandex suits, no spray-on sweat. Instead, real workouts with basic compound movements. Why can't more fitness vids be like this?

[@georgephillips66]

I agree mate. A lot of videos on KZbin overcomplicated things. The simple - basic movements are the best movements. Yes, some of the weird shit probably works, but it's a lot simpler than most people try to make it.

[@Kadaverbengt]

I do miss the clothes from back in the day though.

[@damonhill1591]

John seems like a good guy to get a drink with. Drinking with John: 10 more... (after 10) 10 more!

[@angelruizvillot2665]

John: we aint dont yet, we gotta make it hurt. That how you progress.

[@dr.johna.shewmaker406]

ok, now six more light beers!

[@dropsetsforeverything6061]

As soon as I saw Sergio internally rotating on the shoulder I was thinking "I am sure this would hurt me, but may be its different for pro, may be this, may be that". Immediately John mentioned that point as friendly advice. This! This right here is why John is the yoda, the shaolin master, the coach to be trusted for all, be it newbie or a pro. John you are doing gods work saving joints and tendons!

[@kevincsehoski5778]

I love how much John pays attention to technique. He makes me realize I have sooo much more to learn. And I want to train harder while being safer. Keep it up man💪🏼

[@angelruizvillot2665]

My friend no matter how long you been doing it. We all can always learn new techniques and way to stay safe while doing it. Lift hard and stay safe

[@lacticaddictluke]

If you think you know everything then you probably know very little, the smartest people are those constantly learning

[@ejenkins]

On my way to hit chest now. Perfect timing! Thanks John for always putting quality content!

[@timcabot6655]

Sergio is a beast with a big heart in spite of the haters. I admire the way he takes advice and critism when he is twice their size lol!!!

[@Lewis.snookes]

My guys are so big they have to exit the machine differently 💪🏻🤣

[@phasm42]

And they had to shim the machine with plates so the starting position was reasonable.

[@jaygib105]

Lol im not that big and I have to do the same..the machine isn't the best built..shouldve been able to adjust the handles height but it's all one fixed position

[@huizilopoxtli9701]

True. Many machine handles start so far back it puts the shoulders in a vulnerable position.

[@srunyon0220]

Pretty cool to see Paul's progress. Dude was a tank before, now he's a machine. 👊💪

Sergio Jr will do some serious damage on Olympia stage in future ! He will go down as a legend like Sergio sr !

[@ablankenship83]

Today is chest and triceps for me, gonna implement these to my session today!

[@xmikex902x]

Same but it was weird to see such high reps on some. Loved the dropsets though

[@spencerw1337]

Always a pleasure seeing Luke on the channel, he used to be my neighbor! He's a real cool dude. Nothing is better than Mountaindog AND Luke together

[@frankiea6482]

Sergio Jr. Is in great hands with John Meadows. I always knew a while back he was going to make his way towards him...👏👍💪💥

[@ethanskys857]

Man it’s so great seeing you back in the gym pushing weight and teaching us all 🔥

[@daryldelp8232]

This chest workout is insane. I cant wait to try it!! Just another Mountain Dog video overflowing with knowledge.

Love John's training he gets the best out of anyone

[@stevelee3144]

Just started going through the colossal program for my second time. Now that I understand more about feeder sets the program is awesome thanks!

[@brentwilde9843]

Always expect more reps when working with John

[@mikepeters9996]

That gym looks VERY familiar!!! Thanks John for spending the time talking to me at Supplement HQ. Also enjoyed talking to Sergio Jr. Great ambassador for the sport.

i love that shirt john, and that was a sick workout!

[@josephohrablo4866]

Love that low incline hammer press . It’s one of the few that doesn’t destroy my rotator cuff . Great video !

[@wm9872]

Very humble guys. Good content, I like that first machine wish my gym had one.

[@gaurd3]

Haven seen this Mountain Dog since the Jay Cutler chest video. No cuffs. Good stuff. That leg workout in Bev's was good too.

[@Doug_Sweeney_]

How did those db flyes feel on your shoulders? It looked pretty tough at that angle!

[@Ninjaofsadness]

Maybe I’m doing them wrong but that would’ve f’d my shoulders bigly

[@hetisjoelb]

I dont have any issue with it

[@mayvafitness3174]

For me, it'd be safer to do those on the floor.

[@portola45]

Learned a better elbow placement on the incline bench press, thanks guys!

[@watdeneuk]

All I need is 1 John Meadows video to get me motivated to get my ass back to the gym again. Thanks man.

[@whatisupmydudes270]

Love your videos, John!

[@joem1480]

I'm hoping you see this here. I've been following your workouts and making good gains. I could really use your help with one thing though and maybe it could be a video idea. I have always had a lot of foot pain when standing, especially in my arch (I do have flat feet) this is affecting my workouts on calf raises. My calves can handle well over for sets of 20 (I can provide the exact numbers I am lifting if needed) but as I am going up in weight, while my calves are fine, my arches are killing me. Do you have any tips for strengthing the feet and arches?

[@lacticaddictluke]

I have the same thing it’s not ideal

[@ПомогаетСразу]

My muscles grow just by watching John's videos

[@CarlosGonzalez-lc8tu]

These guys are so humble and still take advice and say they need to learn and improve. Amazing. If I told some 120lb scrawny dude he was gonna hurt himself if he kept doing what he was doing he'd probably tell me to go screw myself. Lol

[@fuku512]

Yeah but its still worth it trying to help people.

[@romanseminogov9604]

video so intense my post-cycle test spiked back to the usual 🔥🔥

[@fordsbetter3496]

Because that was super high intensity do we save workouts like that for maybe once a month or can we incorporate something like that weekly for maybe a short period of time? Thanks john

[@lacticaddictluke]

Intensity > volume in my opinion

[@saubriz]

So the shorter the arms, the better form during the bench press. I have looong arms and it’s difficult for me to either not flare my elbows too much or I end up tucking them in a lot.

Hey john, almost finished with my colossus program. What should I do next?

[@devonsstemcells1442]

Great video as always.. what would be a good routine to use for a 53 year-old been working out continually for 2 and 1/2 years. I'm heading over to look at your workout routines just wondering if you had any suggestions? I'm really looking to add muscle even at my old age. LOL

[@stephendolphyn5126]

I would recommend doing the Warlock. It is very demanding but great. John built a lot of warmups into the sets so that your joints are ready and you are less likely to be injured. This is really important as we age.

[@ryanday9737]

He sells programs at his website. Email him from their and he'll probably advise which program is best for you based on current fitness level and your goals. It's worth the money if you've never run a professional program, in my opinion. So is getting a coach and/or having a partner that knows what they're doing. Probably, you are not working hard enough...and not varying enough in the workout through the mesocycle. You and I are about same age...my routine for a long time...push, pull, legs, rest. I have two basic workouts for each group. I rotate those exercises out every 8 to 12 weeks. Mostly compound movements....vary between heavy weight and 6 reps and moderate weight 10 to 12 reps. Isolation movements like curls are high rep, high focus/squeeze, lighter weight. I don't do a lot,of,isolation. I've been running a pro program with a friend for about 4 weeks....a lot more variation than I'm used to. It's working well. Focus on injury prevention...warm up, stretching, solid form before heavy weight. Stop or slow down when you feel injury coming on. Beetter to slow progress than get hurt and STOP. Gotta balance that with being intense enough to advance though. In my opinion, intensity from higher volume is generally safer than he y weight. You risk repetitive stress injury if form is bad...but heavy weight plus bad form can cause more serious injury taking longer to heal. Nutrition is 80%, not what you do in the gym. That's no joke....a lot of people spend 90% of time worrying about the workout and 10% or less on diet. That's fine if your diet is locked in....but most people are missing goals because of diet, not their workout. Took me a long time to realize that. Whether you wanna grow but cant...or wanna see your abs but cant...it's Def diet, not workout.

[@minaadelshotput413]
