    Thank you for both videos on both the gaining and losing as a natural. I actually have started doing a lot more eating to try to gain. However, my question is, wife and I have a cruise coming up, how long would it take to get back into "cut"-ish shape(generally--I know it all depends)? IE if you were packing it on during the off season, what would be the most time a person would need to be able to switch back to being more cut?

    DHM is great for longer and better sleep. It improved my sleep from 6 to 10 hours with no side effects. Its legal here in germany , its in sleeping pills from the pharmacy.I assume its legal in the US too. But its really powerful for a legal substance, much more powerful then any BB supplement or 99% of that other stuff from the pharmacy without prescription which is mostly a rip off.

Over last 4-6 months have lost about 20 pounds of fat and at least maintained, if not put on a bit of muscle. I'm gonna lose about another 5 or 6 pounds and then change from prioritising cardio and being in a deficit to more weights, less spinning bike and a bit more food. Onwards and upwards fellas.

  • @brians1793
    @brians17934 жыл бұрын

    4:10 Yes! This is so important, like resting enough between sets to recover ATP energy enough to get the most of the next set, only even more important than that. If your muscle is not feeling fully recovered, you won't get the most out of training anyway, and risk overtraining. It's not a bad idea to wait a day after feeling fully recovered for good measure, your muscles won't likely atrophy in that time. If you're still recovering muscle is still rebuilding so you shouldn't have to worry as much about atrophy until you're fully recovered. It's just if you wait one more day than necessary, progress will be slower. But it's worse to go too soon. As a natty at 34 and being new to training, I can manage to train every 3-4 days or so, going to failure on the last set with everything. I'm starting at home with what I got, but doing things like pushups(with feet elevated and hands on exercise ball, wearing 20lbs vest) and pullups to start. I got an exercise ball, 20lbs vest, basketball hoop that's perfect for doing narrow grip pullups with palms facing in, bars are angled so I can really pull my body close to the bars to really work the lats, I'll start using the weighted vest when it seems necessary. I have all the dumbells and weights I need for now for adequate weight, I can do some good isolation exercises after doing more compound exercises, like reverse dumbbell flies for rear delts. It really helps I unload semi trailers at UPS and it's become easy enough to be like light cardio, it actually helps recovery and is partly why going until failure 2x a week is working so well for me, even as a natty at 34 with only 1-2 months training in so far. I think I'm lucky with genetics though and if I can regain old muscle to get to 165lbs and 15% body fat or so not long after turning 35 in November, hopefully I can put another 5-10lbs on in a few years and maybe it's not too late to compete as an amatuer in natty competitions. I'm 150lbs now. I could have wider shoulders, but my waist is ridiculous even at around 17% body fat, it's 26-inches. I'm already seeing size in my lats I've never had before and working side delts hard, I might be able to get a better v-taper than I thought I could. Been wanting to finally get into natty body building but thought my sleep could be an issue, still only getting 4-5 hours a night but am starting to get more, found ways to really help it. But kratom use is affecting that, I need to taper off. I was forced off it cold turkey during lockdown for a month, working 2 essential jobs one at UPS I was getting 1-2 hours of sleep the first week from withdrawals. Having a great diet the past year though helped so much, keto is great for dealing with lack of sleep. I was surprised I dealt with that as well as I did, so I decided to start training as long as I was getting 4-5 hours. I'm using less kratom than I was, still too much. But I could definitely taper off aggressively and be fine so I really need to start doing that too.

    I used to be 6’4 about 145lbs end of high school And now I weight about 215. And have been working out since 2012. I was very thin. I always played sports but I was always the skinny kid. You need to EAT. And just when you think “you’re eating more”. -> eat even more. And good food. Don’t drink those mass gainers they’re BS. Eat lots, train hard. And get lots of sleep. That’s how I got to where I am today.

    Hey John! I’d love to know your opinion on Mike Mentzer’s approach on recovery. He believed that if any muscle is sore, you do not train any other group until the sore muscle has fully recovered. So, if your quads are sore, you can’t even train biceps or any other muscle group until your quads are completely recovered. He believed that the central nervous system played a large role and also needs time to recover from his high intensity workouts. What’s your take? I watch your channel every day, thanks so much for all the great content!

    I know you didnt ask me, but i believe CNS plays a huge roll in how intense you can consistently workout. I have found, for my body, when i train hard for extended periods my muscles recover faster than my nerves. My workouts tend to be sloppy and i dont have a good mind muscle connection even when im not sore and have plenty of potential power for the exercise. Some people can tolerate more than others, but for me i find recovery to be an over all HP limit for damage. The more damage your body accumulates the more resources are required to rebuild, and there is a point you will hit the limit and healing/recovery will slow down or plateau without “help”. Im not a pro lifter but i try to listen to my body's feedback after different types of sessions and use the information to tailor my workouts. I find that the information john preaches often falls in line with what ive learned from my own sessions.

I ended up needing to take the whole week off, muscles were not sore but I had no strength or power and felt tired the whole week, workouts were not productive. I figure I had over taxed my CNS.
