Here's a recap for everyone: 1) Too much stress inhibits muscle growth. Avoid things that make you overly stressed. 2) Self-sabotage: going overboard with cheat meals and snacking, using "I'm too busy" as an excuse when that usually isn't the case. 3) Having bad friends and negative influences. Surround yourself with good people who can help you prosper. 4) Becoming too routine with meals and training, to the point where you lose motivation. Incorporate some level of variance and don't be too afraid to occasionally try new things and experiment. Try to make things fun. 5) Replacing your nutrition and exercise with supplements. Supplements aren't a substitute for either, they are supposed to be an additional boost beyond what you can get just from food and exercise. 6) You're in a bad gym environment. Find a gym that motivates you and suits your training needs (not a Planet Fitness). 7) Ego. Don't believe that you know everything just because you have been around for a while, you never are close to knowing everything. Keep an open mind to new or unconventional ideas and constantly challenge your status quo.

I had never exercised or lifted weights in my life until a month ago. John’s videos have helped me so much, not just with form and the physical aspects, but also with the mental, like this video. I am so sorry for your loss. John is still a light in the world, and still helping people who need it, like me.

I will contrast this a little bit with the motivation I've had from following competition winning lifters. Just about everything I know came from watching good lifters do what they do, seeing someone else make the journey from training to top of the podium is hugely inspirational, you get to see the human side of actually working hard enough to win. Social Media in this case is an invaluable resource. As long as you keep the screen time "for business" I count that as a positive (especially if you don't have any local training partners).

I have one good friend lol, I lift weights almost every day for 1-2 hours, on weekends about 3 hours. No rest days. On the days I don't lift weights, I do boxing at home and afterwards go to a martial arts gym to train Krav Maga with said friend. You know, I used to put all this time into gaming, now it's lifting. I also work in IT so it's really a necessity. But yeah, not having a lot of friends and thus barely getting asked to hang out, helps.

lack of or not enough sleep is a big one also. late nights early mornings. Also very true about the gym environment. (if having a choice) there has been times in the past where i've been the biggest (most developed) person in a small gym and as a result people ask your advice etc which can if you let it go to your head a little and you get complacent without realizing it. you still train hard but you don't realize until you switch gyms to then being once again 'average' that it motivates you to get bigger and to keep up with others and push yourself even harder (at least myself ive found that personally years ago in the past, I wasn't even fully aware at the time) big fish small pond vs small fish big pond

Best gains I made was when my diet was on point and I trained hard. The worst shape I was in was when my diet was off, and I did not train hard. It’s that simple. I was actually able to get near my best shape without PED’s when I took my training and diet a lot more seriously and I realised I did not need the PEDs anymore. The gains on PEDs made me lazy because the gains came a lot faster so I never appreciated the gains. Now that things are slower they are more satisfying to me. I’m not considering going down the road of PEDs anymore. Always thanks for the great video, they help a lot.

These are great points that make you take inventory of your training and personal habits. When I got back in the gym a year ago and changed my life I lost a few friends. They just didn't have the focus on health like I do so we are incompatible. My grandfather always told me you are the company you keep. Concerning the gym I can certainly relate to this one. I left my old "fitness" oriented gym which had the free weights and machines, poorly maintained, in the back of the building. Mainly a big box gym. I found a gym nearby that is owned by a former bodybuilding competitor with tons of equipment front and center. It's amazing how it changed my training and overall mentality. The atmosphere is motivating in itself. Besides they play old school rock and metal so I don't even use earbuds anymore. On another note... Awesome YoYo trick as usual !

John is one of the few you tubers I actually sit through the entire video. Maybe I get bored easy or a bit ADD. But I ALWAYS hear what John has to say. There’s so much toxicity like how John talked about compare & despair. John is a breath of fresh air, he’s like my cool uncle from KZbin 😂. Been working out since 2012, went from 140 -> 215 so I’ve had my share of KZbin channels, forums and advice. But I really I really respect John. He knows his stuff and doesn’t BS to sell products.

Dude..I've never met you except through KZbin but Sir, THANK YOU for your honest info and your authentic, genuine, way of relaying information. I feel like we are friends just by listening. Channels like yours are helping me down the lifting path (1st year noob gainer). Every time i think im tired in the gym i think about mountain dog on the belt squats making Juji almost tap and then go another set (props to him for toughing it out). Im already seeing great results. Also, That yo-yo trick was SO COOL Alexander! You made it look easy. Keep it coming! :)

Fantastic!! These could be applied to many things in life. Life Gains! One of my favorite ways to spend free time is learning. I love to read and about lots of different topics (by listening to others also). Fitness and health are incredibly fascinating to me, but so are many other topics. I’m just getting to know you but I’m so impressed with you (one of your videos I watched like 3 times to make sure I completely understood everything you said). I can tell you’re a good person and very genuine. Thank you!

Most credible and honest bodybuilding channel John. Also you watch yourself beeing able to handle your fisique,by this i mean if your in a good relationship or marriage don't go use your fisique to attract other woman and end up in a divorce with all the stress and problems,finacial problems etc...this would really sabotage your passion for the sport and progress.

Something simple I use with my sales team: attitude + behavior= performance. This is not an original thought but if your negative towards your workouts/diet, performance will never come. If your behaviors every day (not making it a priority, not meal prepping, etc) are not consistent, performance will never come.

As someone who has been working as a (technical) professional for the past 40 years, I think John's intelligence, education and long corporate career (while still being a competitive bodybuilder) has give him a perspective and work ethic that is somewhat rare in the bodybuilding world. This certainly helps differentiates him from so many others in this industry. He is one of the very few "KZbinrs" that I continue to learn from. I foresee him fast becoming of the the most effective and in-demand trainers in the business.
