Is this the line to get that t-shirt?

Simple , easy to understand . Thanks for taking your time to educate us !

This answers the questions that have been plaguing me. Thank you

Thanks again, Jonni!!

Great advice. Great presentation.

Great Reminder😊

I stopped working out with my close friend because he spends too much time in the gym. And he wonders why I have more muscle mass than him. I spend 45 mins in the gym… 60 mins at max doing the same things you explained in this video.

Definitely needed this. Thank you!

Your a humble good dude Jonni Love You Big Brother and thanks for the humor lets keep it altruistic strength & honor love and respect

Great info. I like to keep things simple.

Love the simplicity

Great video for real world training for guys like myself who just plain love to train! Always enjoy your humble, knowledgeable and friendly presentation! You are a true gym brother in iron!

Thank you for this video!

Well said brother!!!!

Good stuff dude. This helps. What I have BEEN doing. Thanks mate.

Love your advice

I'll definitely buy the T-shirt!

Got a sneak peak on the live stream yesterday. Let's hear it Jonni

Thanks a bunch for this straight up easy vid. I'm on a weight loss goal and I'm running out of calories and time.

Excellent lecture! Thumbs up. This training method, and schedule reminds me of Steve Holman's articles in Iron Magazine into the late 1990s. However, for now I started a Full Body Routine, and for my back it is mostly Front Pulldowns, and Dumbbells Shrugs. On another day I may perform Seated Cable Rows, for example. Since I have shoulder injuries, from the back area of shoulder joints, I am a bit limited as to the exercises, and weight that I can perform. And doing exercises for the trapezius I'm exercising with mostly light to moderate weight.🏋‍♂

Your videos are helpful each and every way, keep at it man I appreciate you

I'm 55 and have been lifting pretty much my whole life to some degree. I really appreciate you hammering home something I started doing quite some time back. Mainly because I thought I needed to since I was getting older. I try to keep my workouts to a max of three different exercises per body part each day. That also gives me the opportunity, on most body parts, to switch to doing different exercises the next time I work that body part. I like the muscle confusion principle.

Damn, I’d really like to workout with Jonni at least once in my lifetime. “Jonni, you so chill AF. You videos have corrected my form and provided injuries I’ve been needlessly done too many times. Thank you oh soo very much.”

Thanks bro

Same way! I prefer lying ham curls then seated! I feel it's less awkward and can go harder

These videos have been wildly useful. Would love to see something similar on cardio and the most effective amount of time for proper muscle retention while cutting. While not doing too much and hurting your overall gains.

Dog, Maybe i been clicking on the links or researching incorrectly but i been looking for these very freaking answers for over 2 years now since i started my journey of trying to fill in my shirt sleeves. This is the absolute best video on the internet. folks just say do this many sets but i always wondered that very thing. if theres multiple parts of (lets say) the bicep, am i doing 3 sets for each head and the brachialis and same for the other groups. Maybe i havent fought the right video up until now but thank you man!

Great video as always!!!! This is exactly how I train, 1-3 exercises per muscle. Keeps it simple!!!

I'm glad you pointed out your chest is your weak spot. There's been alot of online chatter about your chest.😂 Good video.

Makes sense. I always feel the biggest stimulus my first two-three exercises of each muscle group . Makes 0 sense to do more. It’s like continuing to pour water into a cup that’s already full. The moment I stopped with junk volume my gains skyrocketed quickly and less time I spend in the weight room I can do my track workouts and not feel my performance compromised!

This is excellent. As an ex athlete, this makes too much sense. For those of us that just want to be fit and healthy, this is the best advice. Most of us are not athletes and older, over working the body is not a good idea. Pick a couple exercises for each muscle group, eat well, be active and enjoy life. I also like to do a warm up that gets the heart rate up and do simple circuit training w/some super sets. Keep the heart rate 125-140 for 45 -\50 min. Off days, some flexibility and activities like light cardio, golf etc, keeps the body and mind happy. Jonni, is the only fitness guy I subscribe to because he's the best.

Question. What would a week schedule look like following this method? Weights every day or every other day? You provide the best and honest content. Thanks for sharing your experience.

great video, totally agree. too many sets just ruin your workout. It`s just in your PPL ebook on the intermediate Leg Day2 for example you have 16 to 22 sets (if you count every set in the giant set), which I did today. It just felt too much. So not sure what to do here

@JonniShreve

PPL I made to have warm up sets included also think if you have chest and triceps in one day the total sets per exercise is geared towards the muscle group. so you can have 12 sets of chest and 6 sets of tricep.

I think what Johnni calls "hard" sets is just placebo for "working" sets. So your warm ups wouldn't actually be included in the set count. Only the four at your working weight that put you in tue desired rep range count.

Do you not do warm up sets before?

grabs pen and paper- writes down program- uh i guess ill figure out what to do with my shoulders then. :P

Does rows and pulldowns count as part of the same 12 sets? What about bench press and overhead press ? If i understand correctly - bench press needs 12 sets, ohp 12 sets and row+pulldown 12 in total?

Whats your split look like with arms, are you training tri's with chest, Bi's with Back? You mentioned twice a week for each bodypart. For example, are you doing Mon Chest/Tris, Tues Back/Bi's, Weds Legs, Thurs Delts, Fri Arms? Taking a rest day and starting over? Or, Mon - Quads, Chest, Tri's / Tues - Back, Bi's, Hammys / Wed - Delts / Thurs - Arms skip a day, start over?

Im not trying to get size im trying to stay shredded

Yesterday I did 15 sets all to failure . 5 sets of 6/10 military press . Four sets lateral raises . 10 reps then 10 sets of partials . I counted this as one set . Three sets DB curls 6 to 10 reps total failure each set . Same for hammer curls three sets . Finish Would this be regarded as high intensity requiring a rest day the next day .. I am 73 years old

I like to go heavy medium range reps on the compound lifts then high rep light weight for isolated to get the burn. Hit all the different fiber twitches and I enjoy it

Does it matter when I consume protein or is it all about the daily total? I tend to skip breakfast.

thanks for the info jonni. what's your take on doing just 1 body part to the max and that's it for that body part? i watched Jay Vincent and he's really into that HIIT formula. Curious about what you think. ty

it would almost be similar to doing german volume training. Take one movement for 10 sets. To me it can work ive done them before but its more favourable to at least to 2 movement purely on the enjoyment of it.

@@JonniShreve When I was in my 20's I would do 10 sets of squats for leg day. I had to move leg day to Friday because for 2 days after I couldnt climb up the stairs at work without looking like a frail 90 year old man clinging to the hand rail for dear life

The problem I have with the topic is always around the secondary muscles. Say I just did 3 exercises for chest, which hits the shoulders, how many shoulder isolation exercises are needed…

What about each muscle group only "once" per week? But it's a big muscle fiber tearing work out with 150 to 200 total reps. Takes me a full week to recover plus its easy on my schedule.

How many exercises do you recommend for abs

Going 6 days a week i hit a plateau for over 4 months in chest strength, shoulder overhead press, Barbell rows...past 1 month and a half o go 5 days a week and my strength is going up out of no where. Recovery is so crucial.

I'm 52 should I still train all muscle groups 2× a week. I work out at 5 am for 1 hour and then work outside 6- 8 hours on my pool service and repair business.

I personally do higher reps with most exercises and just focus on form and contraction. I'd like to go heavier but im very injury prone.

so you can do a bro split like back just 10sets for the week and build muscle? is it enough because like ppl 2x you gonna do allot of sets isnt gonna pass like 20or so like

Orerrrrr you do three sets of 4 exercises for chest since your shoulders are worked also do shoulder press, lat raise, dumbbell incline chest, dumbbell regular bench press

@jonnishreve gr8 video Questions: 1. You state hitting muscle groups 2-4 times per week. I currently hit them twice weekly for optimal recovery. When you state 3-4 times are you referring to specific or small muscles which recover faster than large muscles? 2. What do you think about the chest-supported rear dumbbell raises? If so, does this exercise hit rear delts, triceps, or both? Thanks for your content kind sir.

@JonniShreve

2 ай бұрын

1. So for me personally the larger muscle groups 2 times a week the smaller ones you can hit 3-4. ex. triceps on both push days and a full arm day. 2. Its primarily rear delts and you will feel the triceps as they assist with stabilizing the arm throughout the movement.

Depends, If im going from say Smith Machine press to a Dumbbell press I will warm up as I want to get my body set properly on a different piece of equipment.

I also have been doing this for so long so I can warm my body up very quick as I am fully engaged in every movement right from the start and my goal is to get you guys there.

I don’t understand how you can hit each muscle group twice a week. Monday: Chest/truceps. Tuesday: Back/Bicep. Wednesday: Shoulders/Traps. Thursday: Legs. Friday: Rest. Saturday: Chest/tricep. Sunday; Back/Bicep. That’s my week. I’m not able to hit shoulders and legs in the same week unless I want to combine them with other days and spend another hour or more in the gym. Am I missing something?

How can I hit every muscle group twice a week if I only do 3 exercises per day?

Mike Mentzer is looking down on you shaking his head & his finger

I’ve been training for over 40 years. One thing I learned many years ago is that I know when I’ve reached “the full stimulation point,” after which all further sets are not only a waste of time and effort, but they are actually counterproductive. In general, 2-3 movements per body part and 3-4 sets of each is more than enough to reach maximum blood pump and muscle fiber activation. Even with anabolics, the exact same thing applies. Anabolics add to effectiveness and growth, but they don’t mean you should do 20-30 sets for your chest or back. Warm up, work hard, stop, eat, and rest. It’s simple but it’s not easy.

Example of 5 sets per muscle group sir Jonnie?

How many sets when your on gear? Serious question.

wonder how this will fit in a "bro split", you still wanna hit 3 excercises for chest for example, or 2 for tris. since you train only one time per week shouldnt be better to add maybe one more exercise, 3-4 hard sets?

Where do you place rear delts in a workout?

@JonniShreve

They are a shoulder exercises but you can def add them to your back Rowing movements!

I do 6 sets per muscle group during Delorme 6 weeks and then I do 9 during Oxford
