Nice video Jay! You are the legend, telling the truth and not what a lot of so called fitness influencers are talking about - reps, sets, angles, Rest-Pause bla bla bla... Do the basic compound movements 2 times a week with maximum intensity and you will get 90% of your potential results. If you are a bodybuilder and want to devote your life to get these additional 10% go for it, but in my opinion there are so many interesting things one can do to have a fulfilling life (family, friends, hobbies you name it). So the choice is yours! Thanks again Jay for this explanation video!

Succinct, great video. We have some solid scientific rationale as to why muscle is so slow to build.

Great one Jay. No illusion and false promises like many of the channels out there. Just the REALITY of adding fresh muscle to our bodies as naturals.

Romblox is a pretty genius name lol

Intensity and consistency!

Good stuff. 👍

Definitely true. We didn't evolve in a time of plenty so anything that is metabolically expensive (e.g., our brains) must convey a significant advantage. Also, from an endurance perspective, it takes more work to oxygenate larger muscles.

Nice one! Concurs with Doug McGuff video from a while back also.

Makes sense. How many times have you seen “normal to slightly above normal looking” individuals display impressive feats of strength? I know I have! On another note, every person will respond differently to stimuli and my rule of thumb is exercise intensely (preferably to muscular failure), safely, and let everything else fall where they may.

Dude, that is genius! I used to train at a gym that had a hammer strength pulldown and I wanted to use it but it was too hard trying to get in position with the handles being so far out. I-ve moved, but I WISH I had the ROM thingy when I was there.

Thanks for the video bro. request you to share the link to the paper. I am not finding it in the description.

Hi Jay. The Hennemann Size Principle states that with a weight of around 80% of your maximum strength, all muscle fibers are recruited. I assume that with a weight of around 80% I can do around 6-8 repetitions and then reach muscle failure. This puts a lot of strain on my ability to recover well and causes great fatigue. However, if I use the same weight and take a short break after each or even after 2 repetitions, then I can do significantly more repetitions, perhaps 10-12, without causing such great fatigue. Muscle failure is not necessarily achieved here, but the greatest possible innervation of the muscle is achieved according to the Size Principle. The metabolic load is much lower (also supposedly not relevant for muscle growth) and the exhaustion of the nervous system is minimized. Doesn't this type of training actually make more sense than training to muscle failure? Regards, Chris

He talks about how hard it is to put on muscle , but ends the video speaking on how his programs can put on 5 to 10lb of muscle in 4wks 🤔

Believe me Alot of people are so overtrained their bodies won't give them a pound of muscle. I was for THIRTY YEARS. Until I found Mike Mentzer. Started the consolidation program. And put on 16 lbs of muscle in 8 months. And I did that aged 57. Im 60 now. And getting even bigger.

Please review Dr Mike latest exchange with Helms, he talks about you in there ?

Been doin a version of HIT training since 2000 3 set of 8 first set max to failure then 2 other drop sets after and also 3 sets 20 on squats but usuallly 2 @20 pleanty completely fried but i dont lift as slow but i do focus on the muscle n control best can works anyway try your version sometime definately makes since

Where is link for file ?

Hey Jay thanks for these awesome insights! Quick qs - what do you think of the bowflex machines for muscle building (the power rod versions). I bought one from Bowflex and upgraded to 310lb resistance but feel that eventually I will max out the rods (they are about 60-70% comparable to free weights). However, if I use your HIT method, I realized that I may not need more than the 310lb upgrade I got. Have you had any experience with Bowflex machines?

Their resistance curve is off, but if worked hard and consistently they will produce decent results in musclular strength and hypertrophy. However, having said that, I would always choose a good commercial machine, cables, or free-weights if I had that option.

@@user-pl4nx2bt5u I honestly know nothing about "smart gyms" or digital weights. I use mostly commercial machines and cables for my workouts.

I think I have genes for more muscle building than strength (AA). When I would be training at the gym I noticed smaller guys could bench and squat more than me but I had more muscle. At the time I assumed it was because they were specializing in powerlifting and I was doing bodybuilding training. I also have small joints but I’m not short, 6 ft. Maybe since I have smaller joints my body is making up for it by providing larger muscles?

Gotta whip it to make it grow then aka none of that reps in reserve nonsense

“Evolutionarily” isn’t really a thing. It’s simply the way we are designed.

While micro-evolution (i.e., adapting to our environment) seems to be well established, the notion of macro-evolution (i.e., existing by pure chance and changing from one species to another over time) is full-blown fantasy by those who want to reject our Creator/Designer and have to answer to Him.

I mean different human ethnic groups have different skull types, different noses etc that seem influenced from their environment (evolution). Certain ethnic groups in africa may have genes that make them very tall and lanky and more suited for long distance hunter gathering. Im no expert, im just trying to guess why us humans deviate a bit. But then again, I believe in evolution and not Genesis from the bible so my opinions will vary.

human is a biological machine that always strives for balance Muscles need a lot of energy and their excess is a burden on the body

so people with larger muscles die out in the past therefore we don't have too many of them today!

Nobody have ever answered the question i have. Is the an other way to build muscle than training or working out or lifting weights. Are there any studies that show there is an other way to build muscle? Until now we think you build muscle by lifting weights. I'm interested in other ways.

To strengthen any system you need to place a stressful demand on that system, training is the most optimal way to target the muscular system and place stress in the muscular districts. That’s it

You don't build muscles with weights, you break your muscles down with resistance. You can just eat more and build muscle but I don't think you'd want that Sumo look
