Thank you, Mr Brown. I'm in the UK, love bodybuilding, and I'm in sales. He is right. Anything can be learned by applying oneself and learning from the pro athletes and top salespeople. Life doesn't come with a manual. You have to guide the next generations. Thank you, Mr Brown!!!!
John is 100% correct. Eat your ass off, train your ass off.And sleep all the time.If you have genetics to grow you will grow. I've done it all naturally. I know John.Also , great guy , and what he is saying is a fact. I met John when I was 16 years old at Fullerton college. When he says eat your ass off.He means it and when he says train your ass off , he means it. You think you're gonna get fat, but you don't?It converts right to muscle. Is John 100% correct about everything?No but nobody is. But he is being as forthcoming as he could possibly be. And just like he did with all the advice he got in life. He disirmed the good from the bad. And give it a 100%. And that's what it takes as well.As. Being foretold by the man above. And listening to that subtle voice. Everybody always expects God to scream to as this gigantic. Mythical creature riding a white horse with gigantic wings and a voice is loudest thunder, but most of The Times he's like a hummingbird whispering in your. Have you ever heard of baby hummingbird chirp?. Oh and just for the record my friend Roger Estep A very good power lifter once told me the best lifts that he ever did was after drinking a two liter bottle of coca-cola. If you know you know.✔️
I love his advice….brothers in bodybuilding had it hard with the discrimination in bodybuilding that’s the reason Sergio Olivia was black balled by Weider and the list goes on with guys like Bertil Fox and Serge Nubre and Charles Glass and many others.
Excellent interview! The training really does work without using steroids. A good protein supplement for recovery & a preworkout for additional energy is all you need. You can do it & you don't need steroids.
John Brown and CT Fletcher, both from Compton. Both intense. Both talk about guys from the penitentiary being huge. Both had crazy training methods and stories.. what was going on in Compton?😮
Yesssss! Im so glad to hear him say building natural muscle is a lost artform. Ive seen guys built better and bigger natural physiques than most pros youd see on steroids
Bullshit. Consider it cheating all you want but people go to the shows to see the freaks just like people go to baseball games to see the home runs. Don’t be ignorant
It sounds good and it briefs well but it doesn't work for everyone. When the body out of balance and you're dying faster than you should be, do what works to get it back on track. A better quality of life beats judgement any day of the week
Lol building muscle naturally is a dying art form, proceeds to tell you to train every body part 3x a week, do insane volume with high intensity and sleep 12 hours a day minimum…. Yea thanks for that man really cutting edge super useful info for anyone 😂😂😂
It was his JOB. It makes sense for him not us normal people with jobs. Lol he’d train and still get 12hrs a sleep a day. If we could get that much sleep every night it’d work recovery wise for us too.
@@thortorrens please don't take that literally. Start out with learning the proper form around 4 to 5 years old using unweighted bars. Then, add small weights gradually.
That kind of training can't be done on a continuous basis on a three day per week schedule for each muscle group. I do like the no steroids, no growth hormones part on John's part.
This man has the receipts to show what he’s done. He’s worn Mr. universe and other titles. What have you won? Show us your titles and show us your videos until then shit the hell up.
If the context is simply on hypertrophy or competing in bodybuilding, then yes, you can mostly glance over plyometrics. They’re great for any strength sport otherwise though.
Who are his sons? I heard the guy say both his kids are in the nfl lol that’s insane. Goes to show you it’s really all about the mindset and how bad you want it
John is correct : people are unable to build Muscle ( to any degree - except by accident - without gear) I have absolutely learned as well- 56 , cancer , “46” test score - bc of cancer and age. I am in top 2 of buff / jacked dudes in my gym. I train extremely instinctively and HVT- as if it was 1960 / 1970. And daily. And while body. It can and does work. “Instinctive…”
He's a prime example why every household should have a father in it. 💯
This is facts couldn’t agree more ❤
Amen
He had a father but not a good one...
@@Sonofnun777 a bad father is still better than no father
@@Sonofnun777 what are you talking about ma,am.
This man is a legend and paved the way for many in bodybuilding, sports and life! Much respect💯👏🏽
Shawn ray's mentor 🙌
Been in the gym MANY times with John. People can doubt what he's saying but I have seen it in person. What he is saying is what he was doing...period.
Did you ever train with him?
@olig7336 No, just Serge and Shawn. I could not survive John's training
@@DeanBowen-km4bb much respect to you bro for admitting that
This guy is intense I like his style!

What an exceptional man, an inspiration for setting higher standards. I'm so motivated after watching this!!!!!
He’s a unique character, a different level of standards 👍💪
@@Matthew01733 time to step up our game 💥💥🏋️♂️
Same here
This is so inspiring....WOW..........
The Quarter analysis in regards to training nailed it. True legend
I saw him in Novi Sad former Yugoslavia in '83 that was incredible show to see ...
That's more knowledge and wisdom that you could hope for.

Have fun eating your ass off while being natty. And become a fat gaining freak of nature
"Eat your ass off. Train your ass off. Sleep all the time."
Sounds like a prescription for an impoverished, unserious life.

I kept passing this video because of the thumbnail I don’t know why😂 Glad RUclips kept showing it to me as it’s a good interview 🔥🔥
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview...thank you 😊

Thank you for that interview. GOD BLESS U
I love John training style a grate man and good body builder
Fascinating interview and mindset. Brutal training regime! The parenting messaging was unexpected 💪😎
Never heard of John Brown but glad I have now. Great interview.
Same here , good to see him spreading knowledge to the future 💪🏾
Finally...actual intelligent advice!!
His philosophy is 100%: do more, get more.
An hour and a half of pure gold

Everyone getting big to scare off the crips and bloods in the 80s 😂😂 ever seen Tookie Williams?😂

Heavyweight!! High reps!! Oh my GOD!!
Never give up,never surrender 💪🙏
I have the eating dirty part down
He is super smart!
Legend. 👏 and he got 2 sons playing in the nfl 😎
I do agree the Natural approach is a dying art form.
Great interview.
insane workout!!!
Good info
Awesome interview 🙏🏿🏆👌🏿👏🏿🎶
what a nice, charming, intelligent man ! 8days Carlo (movie central)
Great interview bro
Wisdom. Great video
49:23 You gotta eat and sleep.
How many adults have the time to SLEEP for this type of training!
It was his Job to eat and sleep this Training is Not for the average Person with a 9 to 5
Chad Ochocinco would love John’s diet advice
Chad eats McDonald’s
Damn 😢that training is brutal
Well said !!
Very interesting person
In so many areas in life very few things beat simplicity
Floyd Mayweather always used to drink Coca Cola after his intense training.
Tom Platz said that he had coke and pop tarts prior to a workout.
@@ronaldmccutcheon1329Plenty of carbs from the pop tarts and a bit of caffeine from the coke makes it solid for a pre workout snack
It sounds good and it briefs well but it doesn't work for everyone. When the body out of balance and you're dying faster than you should be, do what works to get it back on track. A better quality of life beats judgement any day of the week
Real talk
wise man 👏
34:30 Genius!
Shawn Ray mentioned that this guy was tough to train with
“Man i wonder what thats like???”🤣🤣😭
Hey , where can I get the template?
The part on Parenting... priceless.. that's how its done
Yall can judge this man but where has he been and where yall been??
💪💪🏿🔥🔥✨
This guy...
John Brown Mr Universe and greatest poser of all time 😊
Talk about unorthodox training, but hey it worked for him, I heard Shawn Ray say John’s workout was brutal. Drinking a Coke that’s new.
Legendary John Brown so brutal I would do 2 sessions weekly 🏋🏾👀👨🏿🦲👨🏿🦲😭😭😭😭
Damn he said 3 days a week after I typed 🤣🤣🤣
HE IS FULL OF TOTAL SHIT MACHO MAN BS VERY STUPID TRAINING AND HAVE TO SEE THAT KIND OF POUNDAGE W/O GEAR IN PERSON 3X A WEEK CLOWN EPISODE
32:20 WOW😢
Lol building muscle naturally is a dying art form, proceeds to tell you to train every body part 3x a week, do insane volume with high intensity and sleep 12 hours a day minimum…. Yea thanks for that man really cutting edge super useful info for anyone 😂😂😂
Love this dude eat dirty train like crazy lol
Train like a beast.eat like a beast.and sleep like a beast repeat
and make sure you're on a good dosage of peds. eating like a beast while being natty will turn you into a fat 🐖
How can your muscles recover and grow if you're training 3 times a wk on two of the biggest bodyparts??
Exactly you have to recover to grow some of the stuff he says is bs
The proof is in the pudding. His pudding lol. He did it so that’s his experience!
It was his JOB. It makes sense for him not us normal people with jobs. Lol he’d train and still get 12hrs a sleep a day. If we could get that much sleep every night it’d work recovery wise for us too.
“We threw enough knives”
🔥
Great interview, geh equipment advert.
You were in all that greatness in Europe but you were homesick to come back to America???!!!!!
Embellished so hard sadly it turned me off....sad the Golden era dudes have to also lie about their PED use ....
I'm going to have to guess that person was tom platz
Frank Lucas did the same thing John did with the car. He wore a chinchilla coat to fight night. Them at ruined his operation
Ha he ain't lying about the coca cola. Preferred beverage of ultra Marathoners everywhere 😂
JB!
This guy is so full of it with some of the things he says. Not everything is true that he says but does have a lot of good things to say
What age did he start letting his sons lift weights.
Straight from the womb! If you can move, then you can lift weights!
@@poppasmurf2044 thanks poppa Smurf
@@thortorrens please don't take that literally. Start out with learning the proper form around 4 to 5 years old using unweighted bars. Then, add small weights gradually.
Bro told his teachers he was smarter than them😭😭😭
That kind of training can't be done on a continuous basis on a three day per week schedule for each muscle group. I do like the no steroids, no growth hormones part on John's part.
Chad Johnson also believes in eating dirty for athletes
You right bro, u cant learn the real stuff in college
1:17:48 now I know why his Wikipedia page is so lacking😅
Can just do dextrose instead of coke. Body needed sugar to restore glycogen.
I’m glad people don’t listen to mental challenged comments
Is this Mr John Brown the actor?
I apologise Jim Brown is the man I am thinking of.
Dancer.
Dude might be a legend but he is absolutely insane if he thinks plyometrics is a waste of time
This man has the receipts to show what he’s done. He’s worn Mr. universe and other titles. What have you won? Show us your titles and show us your videos until then shit the hell up.
how many great physiques have been built primarily on plyo? ZERO
Who said anything about primarily?
If the context is simply on hypertrophy or competing in bodybuilding, then yes, you can mostly glance over plyometrics. They’re great for any strength sport otherwise though.
Who are his sons? I heard the guy say both his kids are in the nfl lol that’s insane. Goes to show you it’s really all about the mindset and how bad you want it
you forgot genetics
Interviewer is like wtf 😂😂😂
The NPC is the shizzy!!!!!
The eating hot dogs and junk and bring jacked still gives it 4l away the fact that he was on gear. Great fairy tale lol smh
51:09... 100%
Is He Saying...He Was Always Natural?🤔
but did you do it naturally?
HE IS FULL OF BS
Overtraining is a fact, no matter how much you sleep and eat!
John is correct : people are unable to build
Muscle ( to any degree - except by accident - without gear)
I have absolutely learned as well- 56 , cancer , “46” test score - bc of cancer and age.
I am in top 2 of buff / jacked dudes in my gym.
I train extremely instinctively and HVT- as if it was 1960 / 1970.
And daily. And while body.
It can and does work.
“Instinctive…”
How's that how's your routine sir
no steroids in prison cmooooooon stop lying
