Thank you so much for the this valuable info that has helped me so much! I have just recently discovered that I don't recover well... I am now 55 year (started lifting again at 50) and have been mostly focusing on strength, heavy compound lifts, and I am an early bird lifter, starts at 5 AM. I have been doing intermittent fasting for a couple of years and I like it because i have moer control on my intake... My last meal have been at 6 PM and first around 10 AM, and have been training fasted just drinking water, and energy has been fine, but I have been so much injured lately, and I understand from your explanation that's because I am not feeding myself around the training time. Because so many are saying that meal timing doesn't matter , I just kept going. It wasn't until last week I watched one of your videos where you talked about this as well, so I started to test this out, only by adding the EAA's during my session, and my first meal within an hour after, just over a week I have done this I feel the difference! I probably should feed myself before as well, but it's hard to eat 430 am.. Any suggestion on that would be great! Again thank you so much!!!

Hey john, even tho i'm natty but i like to train with volume, i loke to hit the muscle from diffrent angle, i love jay cutler and this is why i like to train exactely like him, i listen to all his advises (including yours) with this i hit every muscle group twice a week For EX; if i do 30 sets total for chest on saturday, i hit again on wednesday with 10 sets just to fill with a blood and stimulate MPS And this going with every single muscle group And to mention i use periodezation (deload week) every 2 weeks both volume/intensity for about 50% So what do u think of my training style???

Nor did I! There's a change of habit coming right up 👍

When are we getting " "7" Yoyo Tips for Beginners "

Recently I was 3 days away from gym. I got a mental burnout. I had an excel sheet about how much I drink water, I was constantly watching KZread videos about training and diet. I counted my calories all the time and weighted food to be precise on 1 gram. I counted my rest at gym to be perfectly 30 seconds meaning that I get ready before that and start the set exactly when 30 seconds have passed. I began to worry about my cortisol level and testosterone and estrogen. I began to be unsure if I'm lazy or am I starting to push too hard. Then I just hit the wall. One morning it was so difficult to get up from bed, wash teeth, go to shower, wash dishes, boil eggs, drink water, take creatine and protein, make food, eat how I was supposed to eat. I visited shop to buy some food and I was staring at the stuff there and I felt like crying. I wanted something good to eat, but I knew that I would regret it later. I had set myself rules and I felt like I was in a prison. Then I became too hungry and ordered a pizza. It was delicious! I was worrying too much about everything and it exhausted me to the point that for 3 days I was unable to go to the gym. I thought that ok, that's it. Now my motivation ended... Today I went back to the gym. From now on I still have rules for myself and I even added a new rule: Don't stress! I learned that failing is ok... (insert Arnold Schwarzennegger Speech That Broke The Internet) So today I won't be watching this video, because watching KZread videos gives me stress because I feel like I'm doing everything wrong. I like this channel and you explain all the things in detail. Hands down one of the best channels in KZread. I'll be watching your videos again when I'm able to stress less. I'm sure you've made many good videos since that.

I had an amazing 4 day Pull/Push split this week. Woke up this morning feeling wrecked which bummed me out because I wanted to go hard today and tomorrow to round out the week. Got up, had a walk to my donut shop and had a couple kolaches fresh outta the oven, hot as can be... walked home. Dropped a King Kong and had a warm shower. Feel better and feel like I could go have a session, but I’m listening to my body and taking the day off even though I still wanna go move some iron. 😏 As a natty I can’t go hard all the time, every single day... reality is a bitch sometimes.

throwing in aero-only days is a solution that works good for me, when I feel lifting isn't for my body on a given day. 2 machines , 20mins each, high intensity. On a day I feel too wrecked to hit the gym at all, I do a couple of sets of stretching, it takes 15-20 mins total. But doing nothing is also a solution, then next day you have no excuses at all .

Been to a few of those laughing classes when I was younger. Our instructor would ask us to raise our hands over our heads and laugh as hard as possible. Feels forced and stupid at first but when you notice your neighbors laughing like they're batshit crazy, you'll end up laughing for real. Good times!

Love this video. So much benefit in 20 minutes, thanks John!

So much great info! Learned a couple new things here that make sense. R.I.P. John

RIP to this legend, so much wise words and information!! Thank you for everything

I have been lifting for just over 2 years now John and have made a lot of progress, but there is always something to learn and you produce really great videos. Can never over-emphasise the importance of the basics and managing training volumes. Big love from the UK.

John, thank you so much for addressing the idea of fatigue. I live with chronic illnesses and chronic fatigue. I also have been working out and lifting on and off, given health over the years. My personal experience definitely agrees with everything you're saying here. I can't do crazy rep/sets with the light weight because my body starting giving out quicker without the benefits. I've had to experiment a lot with balancing the rep/set volume and loading on heavier weights in order to get the body response I need in order to boost metabolism and rebulid muscle. Dealing with a lot of endocrine issues and orthostatic problems, it's a challenge, but not impossible. Thank you for this.

John Meadows is like the perfect father figure. Solid advice, thanks!

Great video John as usual, yoyo tricks are getting wild 💪🏻

@Borderbeach

Maybe work muscles doing supersets on antagonist muscle so you get to work on the "rest time" but it doesn't get you so tired/fried when you work other muscles. And maybe pair smaller muscles with bigger ones. Like chest and biceps etc. And maybe consider doing low volume. Just use 1-2 movements per musclegroup per session. Late bedtimes suck when working long hours and there's nothing to do about it but those are my tips for the training sessions. Hope you get something out of it :)

I get stressed when someone tells me not to stress! However, I laugh a lot so I guess it will even out! 😄 I am working out with two other funny fellows and I guarantee it helps tons! It really does, try it👍🤗

Do you recommend having somebody tell you jokes during heavy squats? 😂 This all feels like pretty useful advice.

Honestly I love absolutely every video of yours. You explain everything so in depth. John could you make a video on what you think is the best way to recover or fix when you already went past your limit of central nervous system fatigue. I think a lot of guys get to the point where they kind of became obsessed with training and didn't rest then don't know how to pull back. Me being one of them.

This is the most amazing channel , John meadows is a very smart guy very modest and always speaks the truth ! I’m using a lot of your knowledge as well , TOP MAN KEEP DOING WHAT TOU DOING

"laughing in the middle of a hard set" is one of the most interesting and worth trying advices I've heard in years. Thank you!

Great upload John. This thing called RECOVERY. Needs to be drummed into people. Many are wasting years for lack of understanding of its importance.

Outstanding video. I'm 58 now and recovery is a topic I have to really focus on. Thanks for the great info!

I swear that kid is magic

When I do a lot of high rep/volume to failure it's just slowly wearing me down week by week - I do much better in the 5-10 rep range with really high intensity:)

Also with those high rep and high volume I tend to get overuse injuries. Love this channel, thank you for the solid advice

Hi, is it normal for my quads to recover faster than my hamstrings with less DOMS? When I train legs, I do squats and leg extensions for quads and RDLs and lying hamstring curls for hamstrings. My quads also get some activation from the walking lunges I do. I take all my exercises to near failure if not failure. My quads are never really sore but hamstrings are...

I’m the same, Hamstrings are always sore even if I do half the sets. I guess it’s because for most ‘quad’ exercises you’re still using your hamstring to some extent believe it or not. Vs for hamstring exercise, you barely use any of your quad muscles at all.

Do NOT laugh during a hard set whatever u do...I did while lifting as a friend farted and I lost all my strength. It was funny and terrifying at the same time 😂
