Only found John's work recently, so glad that his family will be able to read these comments and realise he helped so many 💪

John's passion and knowledge is 2nd to none. Its true what they say sometimes you don't realise how amazing someone is until they are gone.. sadly missed 😞

Perfect timing as always. Even from above, John always knows what I need to hear. I was just talking to my bro about this the other day

[@GJ-GamingJunkie]

Thanks for the great info big guy. I feel like you're the only person who gives totally honest advice without some other side agenda. Love your videos and advice mate. Rest easy ❤ say hi to my mum and dad for me ❤

[@MrCdrant]

Refreshing to hear someone calling everything before the set to failure a warm up. Jordan Peters talks in this same way, Dorian Yates used it to great success as well.

[@myatkhineoo95]

John's insight has transformed the way I trained as a natural in past two years and the results have been amazing from a size and strength perspective. Just taking the excuse out and keeping my training and diet protocol stricter. Thank you for the re-release of this content ❤ You are missed!

[@DrummerG]

I think this is genuinely the most beneficial video I have ever watched

[@jameswoodall9261]

This is the most complete video on this subject. I'll save it!!!

[@arnoldmarcus3634]

He’s right about hitting the muscle twice. Disagree with his point that it’s too hard to take every group to failure in a single workout. It’s really not that hard since there aren’t many sets. One good warmup set, one set to failure. If you are doing 2-3 warm up sets, the volume does get to you. Except for squats and deadlifts, and those I don’t recommend taking to failure.

[@iliasbellos7085]

Thanks coach for everything. We miss you man 😢😢😢

[@_JMFC]

Thank you John.. I found your videos unfortunately after you were no longer here with us. I'm really grateful your family is still putting you out there, because I probably would have never had the privilege to learn from you. It's a lot of misinformation circulating on fitness, but you really have made a difference for me. RIP

[@justinchop5531]

Thank you for putting out these videos guys! He will forever be a legend in the bodybuilding world. Thank you!!!

[@hashimhal-saiedy1652]

this video is a revelation for me, alot of questions in mind were waiting for such answers

[@GregGumbel]

I love John's approach to this topic. Personally I do a PPL on an 8 day rotation (3 on 1 off.) It's a lot of volume but the second time around I definitely take my foot off the gas a bit. You just have to approach each day differently, if it's my main leg day and i'm not feeling it, I don't push myself. Conversely if I have a scheduled off day or if I just feel great on a day I only have 3-4 lifts, I do more. John's advice was instrumental in figuring out the routine that worked best for me.

[@ditz3nfitness]

Just switched form PPLPPLR to PPLRPPLR, and I can only agree with you! I tore myself a part for months during the 6x days in a row to the point I actually got a lower back strain which I'm still dealing with even after taking a week off. I'm now focusing more on recovery rather than only focusing on the progress in the gym. Fitness is a part of your life, it's not life which is a part of fitness :)

[@marcoechavarria7274]

I’m going through this right now and definitely think that rest day in between the splits is essential. I also do Push Pull (with some hamstrings) REST Push Pull Legs (main focus leg day) REST that way I can get all the frequency & volume in a 7 day split cos I hate havin alternating rest days lol

[@johnpashley8015]

I did PPL 6 x pw . Then went to PPL rest PPl rest . Now I do PPL rest PP rest. If you work your legs hard enough, they are fine once pw for me .

[@GregGumbel]

@@johnpashley8015 I agree, usually my second leg day is plyometrics or explosive work, no heavy lifting really.

This is the reason why I look at him like a god. Honnesty, great info for both ends of the spectrum, not trying to hide the facts. I'm sure he's in a good place, and I really wish his family is doing okay. But I'm sure there are a lot of humble friends of John giving a big helping hand. Much love for everybody that stumbles upon this comment. Have a great day, year and wish you the best in archieving your personal goals... ❤

[@The_magic_mountain33]

[@CysticFibrosisFit]

@@The_magic_mountain33 I am pretty confident that John has build up some savings to make sure they're okay. And I hope that the new video drops and old will give them a steady income so that they dont need that reserve yet. John was a very smart guy. Ofcours I'm guessing, but... I just hope they're healing day by day and doing okay... which is more important then money

LEGEND

[@jeffgraham48]

Do something on guy's taking test please....

[@Unrealistic-o9c]

I like his videos, but rather than heaping on platitudes, does anyone ever talk about the content? His view on training total body is spot on. It would take 4-5 hours to properly do a whole body pump. You are moving blood from one body part to another, and exhaustion would occur half way through, especially if your natural.

[@MrRaitzi]

Life is not supposed to be easy. Fact that so many fake to be natural tells us the real value of being natural and looking good.

[@ovathere93]

Any chance we could get walk the dog and rock the cradle. Those were great.

[@thetroothhurtz]

RIP LEGEND!

[@pkway9394]

You are truly missed. And as someone who trained naturally for 5 years and then unnatural for now a year….. the gains I made in one year trumps the 5 years…. That beginning study really is true

[@sgdude1337]

How did the NEJM measure muscle mass though? Probably by using DEXA, which looks at fat free mass and thus includes water weight. If test increases water retention, that could explain the increase in “muscle mass” among the enhanced untrained group.

[@drax9000]

Hi good video, im training abaut 5-6 years, im not masive but i like mi gains, im traning hard every workaut, as my father im all natural i never take nothing just food, mi father never take creatine, just protein powder and food, is been more then 10 year his not traning, but at the age of 65 you can see hi was a bench preser, in mi expiriece natural guys wil manitain more muscle overe time then enhanced guys, i see this wen enhanced ore creatine takers guys stop trainig they lose everthing By natural is olwais the way to go, by healthy, by strong, and muscle body longevity like my father

[@u8384]

Thank you , RIP

[@ClarksvilleBarbellClub]

600mg of test a day? A week? Every 10 days? 14 days? Anyone know? Average therapeutic TRT dose is like 200mg every 14 days, but that for normal levels for guys with actual low T, not performance enhancement.

[@chiel-]

600 mg a week.

[@ClarksvilleBarbellClub]

@@chiel- That's a lot of test. 😳

[@dustencross357]

Finally.... Someone had to say it

[@phinnphace]

My question is about what happens after you hit the T plateu and reconverts to estrogen. How do you avoid that if you don't have a suppression drug for estrogen

[@chriscancarry]

🙌

[@Bjornlovesjazz]

i hope we get a new Jojo video in the future !

[@MetalsForBrunch]

I don't even take whey or creatine so I'm super natural.

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

Whey and creatine are naturally occurring products, so you're not "enhanced" when you take them.

[@ricksantiago9768]

Wow would you like a special trophy for being subpar 😂😂

[@earlymornfitqueen682]

❤️

[@oduneyeman]

Damn, I wonder if I should start taking some. Do I have to go to the doctor for that?

[@dustencross357]

Stay natural... Once you go on the sauce you will have to stay on it till it kills you!

[@oduneyeman]

@@dustencross357 Damn, Okay, thanks for the advice.

[@CysticFibrosisFit]

If you want it for growth, I wouldn't recommend it, but I've always avoided it... After a few years, having problems with my health since birth, it turned out I do suffer from low test, and I got on prescribed because it released me from a good amount of symptoms. Then I can say it's 100% worth it.. although not all docters know how to handle this situatiolns, so if you want to be sure, go to an endocrinologist... If you don't have issues, stay away from it, because you might create problems. Long answer, sorry, but I couldn't give you a shorter one...

[@dustencross357]

@@CysticFibrosisFit you probably could have corrected your low t without hrt... Now your fu*ked! Stuck sticking your @$$ for life

[@Kaalokalawaia]

@@dustencross357 Not true man. Not everyone can correct their hormones naturally. If he has cystic fibrosis, he might have additional issues that complicate it. He probably does have to take T for life, but its corrective and that's a different story.

When do i know im recovered as a Natural? If my chest isnt sored or how do i know this? Would ne very thankful if somebody can help me

[@alexDumont2020]

Usually, when u can train hard again. In my case, it tends to be 24 hours after the soreness has left.

[@JustSomeDude31]

I'm believer on intra workout EAA's, I noticed a positive effect since I started implementing them. BCAA's on the other hand, never gave results for me. I do however believe more in EAA's when used when in a caloric deficit, that's why I started implementing them in the first place. When I went back to maintenance I kept implementing them and so far I'm still happy about it. I don't do bulks though, I tried those 2 times and it does not work for me. Now I try to gain on maintenance or a very slight surplus. There can be days I'm in a deficit though so for those days the EAA's are most beneficial I think.

[@zero2hero99]

How do you get passed the terrible taste

[@JustSomeDude31]

@@zero2hero99 I buy unflavored EAA"s and I mix them with Bolero Lemonade (it's sports lemonade without sugar) I also have unflavored creapure creatine and beta alanine. I never buy flavoured supplements, and I always mix them with Bolero, works like a charm in my opinion.

[@zero2hero99]

@@JustSomeDude31 I got the unflavored powder from BulkSupplements and it calls for two tbsp and I’ve tried mixing it but the taste is just overwhelmingly bad. I’ll give it another go

[@JustSomeDude31]

@@zero2hero99 I got them from Myprotein, maybe the taste is different? although I think the flavour regardless should be close to gross for both of em? I always do two full scoops (and i always weigh the scoops also, 10 grams total, 7 grams is a serving size) and I honestly never mixed them with something other than Bolero though. So it could be the bolero lemonade powders (which are super sweet in my opinion) mask the grossness fairly well, it however makes the lemonades a tad more bitter or something. Bolero has like 40+ flavours I think and some flavours dont work well mixing it. But I tried: Passion Fruit, Exotic, Mandarin, Raspberry, Mango, Peach and Pina Colada, they all worked well, Coconut flavour however, absolute no go. PS: I buy the Bolero Sticks which are for 500ml bottle, but I use one bolero stick for 900ml's of water.

[@zero2hero99]

@@JustSomeDude31 I just tried it with lemonade and it wasn’t bad at all. I guess you need something real sweet to offset it because I tried everything else and it was just a no go. That’s awesome man I appreciate it!

[@oglaz]

Thumbs up for "naturals"

[@mitchellbrown1856]

I find it very hard to believe that they gained 4 lbs of "muscle" just from taking test and no workout. 4lbs of water weight, sure, but not muscle. If they were not working out, there would be no stimulus for growth.

[@Someone-xj3zg]

Maybe some of their jobs required manual labour which could of been a sufficient stimulus? Only speculation though.

[@arnoldmarcus3634]

Hormones regulate muscle mass. No stimulus needed.
