[@diablokmerlin]

the most motivating training ever

[@brycedecory9342]

Those chain flies are fucking insane!!

[@lachlanmcgilp4232]

I wish my gym played this kind of music as opposed to new release pop

[@Grimmjow19872]

Same man.

[@Mr1234mexicano]

Inspiration from this guy right here... I'm currently working for my school powerlifting team. weight class 180, Bench:335 squat: 580, Deadlift: 675 thanks for the inspiration my friend.

[@Cristianrubio77]

Everyone talkin shit about his push ups and probably don't have half the chest he has

[@Mik3Harris]

A very intelligent workout. I love the way the exercises were altered to nail all aspects of the chest. Awesome.

[@MrCobraVerde]

Fuckin amazin workout! In Italy they only play shitty music all time long in the gym...

[@jaimequeiroz7183]

Portugal to

[@3317alibaba]

they basically play shit disco music everywhere except at metroflex

[@MyJuicehole]

It's really interesting seeing some of the more unorthodox chest training exercises. It gives some great ideas to those that are maybe at a plateau.

[@alex100003]

worst form i've seen hahahha

[@davidman4255]

idiot

[@dustinbragg6181]

alex100003......1 of the biggest dudes you've prolly ever seen too!! JJ is a monster!!

[@stu73ke]

Yes it could be called bad form, but it clearly works for him, as it did for Bertil Fox, another mass monster.

[@adrianagolisano7871]

JJ is a Legend . All ppl talk about his form doesn't know anything about bodybuilding they are just fitness enthusiast. He had probably the best back during his era . Chest, traps were huge too. He missed o ca,vesta (genetic) but he inspired me like few others.

[@BornIntoTheGrave]

I can't decide why this gym is so awesome; the brutal training or the sik music. All I know is both will kick your ass.

[@ChknAdobo]

its amazing that JJ competes as a body builder and a power lifter - both at the highest levels! AMAZING!!!

[@bcopp8323]

i didnt realize he was doing a pushup contest, i thought he was trying to keep tension on his pec muscles and off his triceps. thank you for clearing that up, hopefully johnnie reads your comment so he knows he did them all wrong. thank you once again.

[@brandond1928]

dude's working his ass off, good for him

[@waxyweller]

I respect the trainers for their motivation ... they could train anyone to become a beast... Good luck guys

[@HiddenCuban]

that gym freaking rules. the manliness levels are over 9000

[@Ravens4life5]

my favorite bodybuilder right here. nobody goes harder than him

[@KTtraintowin]

Great to see current pro's keeping the old school , hard work tradition in bodybuilding .

[@williamc737]

The amount of volume those guys do is immense.

[@ruslandzh.5877]

Big big workout. Amazing. Don't try this at home or anywhere, crazy training to the limit. Very good!

[@adriangarcia5611]

That's awesome he was squirming under those little weights! I know because of the hard work he just did I'm not talking trash great to see pushing yourself to failure love this video

[@FaVaKKeR]

i just got amazed with this guy OMFG

[@dude3sasha]

u know u r iun a great gym when there are people doing lunges outside and ship chains can be used for training. love it

[@oJAREDo]

If he's getting results it doesn't matter how his form is, it's what works for him

[@Dave-ym9kb]

3rd place Olympia ! Everything done right Jackson! Really nice

[@spidanez]

OH MY GOD!!! WYNONAS BIG BROWN BEAVER. its been years since i heard that song, and never expected to hear it watching johnnie jackson

[@ahmadaj6132]

This trainer is the best...........

[@BBBDragon777]

Damn braw Keep doin what your doin, you got me inspired, I am 6'2 335 right now, gave up the last three years, but slowly got back into jujutsu and was have paralyzation through over analyzation as far as lifting. after seeing this not anymore, Just going to lift for strenth and get lean and stay lean!

[@lonerangersheriff]

Yes, they have it all. I agree. Genes, dedication, nutrition, drugs, everything.

[@ACEshredZ]

This is the best workout soundtrack ever.

[@SOnyD32088]

That Workout is SICK! Gotta Try That tomorrow at Diamond GYM!

[@Baphomet666ization]

Jonnie belongs in the top six of the Olympia!!!!!!!

[@Dagur_Johannsson]

I would love to train with these legends. :D

[@BornIntoTheGrave]

Johnnie Jackson is a freaking beast!

[@EnergyLiesWithIn]

my last set for incline is 275 (bar 4x45 2x25) and if i even tried to rest it on my chest like jonnie does it'll be gameover. What a beast!

[@BasilAlMamluk]

that dip setup is pretty solid, never seen that before

[@OnkleMack]

Yeah it's similar to using the chains. Progressive resistance, as the weight goes up the tighter the band gets resulting in more resistance. It's a great way to break through plateaus.

[@Mr1234mexicano]

Thanks, been a hassle, but worth it.

[@OnkleMack]

Insane!!! watching this workout was inspiring.

[@Exal]

Glad to see Pro bodybuilders training on that way...

[@jamierobinson777]

This gym plays amazing music!

[@1stGenStunter]

I got pumped just looking at this shit! Gotta love it, man...

[@manatualexandru]

the reason he does the push ups like that is extremely simple:chest is most activated, in the lower part of the movement, and he is a pro, he isolates, he doesn't care then about triceps etc, plus it's just a finisher, not the bulk of the training.

[@kpTHESPARTAN]

intensity is all about the mind set not what someone puts into their body.

[@joeytribiani2705]

Branch is one hell of a motivator !!

[@tjnstudio]

So many people on youtube think they know their shit... He clearly knows what he's doing. It's a chest workout. -.-

[@finnecha6957]

I can literally feel his pain

[@IMCRUSH]

Body looks ripped but I'm sure experts would say you have poor formation for some of your workouts. Good stuff man! Keep training, extend all the way.

[@Kemalistish]

Johnnie i saw you on FIBO 2012. You're a beast man !! :-)

[@dalejay7402]

j. jackson shoulders are beast got follow his workouts

[@Kusefise]

The reason he's going halfway on his pushups is because the first part of a pushup is pure chest while the second half is used by the triceps. Ovbiously he's focusing on the chest part in his pushups.

[@preteenlikeitbig]

Very intensive training, gj Johnnie

[@boleviken]

Wouldn`t say "Nothing Else Matters" is the perfect training song xD But still, love that they actually play good music on the gym.

[@RucuzUnrestricted]

This man is a BEAST!!!!!!!!

[@lucanito1985]

wow....hardcore training! RESPECT !!

[@dicknutt2614]

been to this gym several times and every time i feel like im gonna get staff or ring worm

[@ChechoColombia1]

AMAZING MUSIC IN THAT GYM AND AWESOME WORKOUT LOL

[@cabalofdemons]

I have most of the records that they play at this gym. When you're working out to Black Sabbath, Slayer, Pantera and Metallica, you can't lose.

[@Cyberpete]

I almost friggin chocked on my cereals when I saw him do those and then read your comment.

[@Meli_Alexandrias]

its reallyyy good for balanced weight!! when your hands are open and its hard do hold weight chains toouch ground and when colsing up the chains are lifted and harder

[@ReallyLegit]

I wish i had motivation like that when i worked out..

[@konfusao1]

yeah, they do it that way to keep the muscle on tension 100% on the time, its good to finish off your workout

[@JonasTieppo]

My gym needs them playlist...

[@fredrikolsson5178]

Dat volume training......insane stuff........

[@PsylockePerfection]

I honestly want you to sit back and think about this for a second: This guy was in the Mr. Olympia show. The highest level of bodybuilding in the world. And your sitting on youtube watching his video. Trying to act like you know more than this guy about what he does? seriously think about it.

[@Jakarta123]

johnnie is a legit beast

[@JDELCID100]

this guy Johnnie Jackson i am a big fan he have good genetics all he need to work on is his forearms and calves and he can easily be a Mr Olympia he have what it takes....

[@paulwhite1645]

this is a bad ass video,top motavation,ill start useing some of them excersises.

[@xJMAN07x]

And yet they are some of the top bodybuilders in the world...

[@DimaShinder]

I really like that dip contraption

[@mmafrankie23]

PowerBuilding= Best of both worlds, dont be all show & no go, be both

[@baller3994]

Its a type of training that more efficiently tears the muscle fibers by repeatedly stretching the chest rather than going all the way up and back down before stretching the fibers again.

[@twhiz92]

Branch Warren training with him in the camo...one of the most intense bodybuilders in the game

[@1crazyirish]

Those chain flys look f-in sick!

[@angelopugliano4394]

Chain flyes lol these dudes are crazy at metroflex i love it

[@schimmi75]

Totally insane workout for 95% of all people this work out would directly lead to overtraining but it seems it is working for him...

[@teh5o]

Chains get heavier as you lift them up because less chain weight is supported by the ground. This is in contrast to the deadweights because those are easier towards the top due to momentum. It just adds more resistance at the top of the lift

[@lilou0024]

yeah johnnie thanks man i gonna train now

[@The_Real_CTY]

They are bodybuilding (although Johnnie Jackson is a powerlifter as well). What they're looking for is contraction and time under tension, and full ROM isn't always necessary to achieve that.

[@raghid100]

what a classic gym !!

[@heavenlyhesychasm]

gotta love JJ's chest thickness!

[@joshbam]

this proves to everyone that even though these bodybuilders take steroids, they still work thier asses out in the gym

[@blakecasto4722]

Easily the best trainer/the best drive out there now.

[@RsXpv]

He came 9th in 2012 Mr.O but definitely will be placing top 5 in future in my opinion

[@sterlingking1243]

I'd finish my workout and never talk to that trainer again! lmfao Dude makes them work!

[@leidwolf]

finally most important in bb is good music, yes

[@anodracdivad12]

pantera, metallica, and megadeth great work out music!!!

[@Omegax9000]

awesome workout

[@jamiebag92]

That gym looks awesome

[@bryanNJ45]

Steroids or not Look at this guy train, Most people would not train 1/2 as intense, this guy has the urge and His dedication and willingness to keep going through the pain is enviable

[@christosGTAIV]

a natural guy cant train with such intensity

[@edmondssax]

This gym plays some jams!

[@teddy6038]

exelente, buena demostración de actitud valor y fortaleza sobretodo de fuerza de voluntad

[@jrob172]

impressive range of motion on the push ups

[@wealthmakersclub]

Anyone who looks as good as Johnnie obviously knows what they're doing.

[@Kiichiism]

Nice music in the background !:)

[@TheLamazzone]

On the way down the tension gets lighter, on the way up it gets harder.

[@azande08]

my man keep doing ya thang

[@bencatt2009]

dude! the weighted dip machine. ... . where have you been all my life

[@bencatt2009]

that's one hell of a workout.
