JM had me so pumped up I had to take a downer. “You can’t do anything more for me. I came all this way to help you and you don’t want the help. COME ON PULL!”
JM's forearms are just nuts. I see why his cue on the JM Press of "let the tissue resistance determine the bottom end of the range of motion" made sense for him. When I try that I'm just training my clavicle to take a beating 😂😂 Brilliant video as always. JM is my favourite Elite FTS contributor.
I workout alone at home, so got no partner to help me like this. Perhaps it's an idea for a video to show how to destroy hamstrings when you are alone? Anyway very informative, especially the mental part about this. Great work
Just do very slow reps to complete failure, look up hit training, body by science, arthur jones, dc training, ellington darden, they are all using high intensity methods.
Just memorize all the stuff JM was saying and repeat to yourself in a calm voice while your hamstrings feel like their about to tear off the bone lol. I get what you're saying though, you can definitely go further when someone is there to help move to the weight.
The way I understand it, what JM is doing here is enforcing failure at every point of the resistance curve. So what you could do is pick exercises that are harder at different points of a muscle's range of motion. For example, think how a triceps kickback is harder when the triceps are shortened while overhead extensions are harder when the triceps are lengthened. This is obviously not as efficient, but it could get the job done. Another option I'd consider would be using bands to deload a movement at the harder point, which would improve the resistance curve of the exercise itself.
Jm is one of a kind I follow many different sports watch multiple different coaches in different fields and nobody is like JM he’s a special character and coach
I love everything with JM! Even if I don't agree, I understand his reasoning, so it's more knowledge as food for thought. Seriously EliteFTS; get some of those "Lets get metaphysical"-shirts to your UK site; I'd buy three of those in a heartbeat. Prolly 4 so I could frame one.
That dude won't be able to walk down a set of stairs-his hamstrings and thigh biceps will give out and he's gonna do the buttbounce on every step to the bottom...
Would love to see an interview of the guys the next day. To see if it truly feels like an amazing workout. Also, does this training benefit just enhanced athletes? Or natural as well? Just curious.
Perfect way to find exactly where your hamstring will snap. I love the passion. 70’s/80’s logic was based on cocaine. Big respect to the Steiner goatee dye job. I’m about to go load WAY too much on a machine now and struggle it up.
@@MasoNowa Plenty cases of injuries on this machine in particular if you use Google to search for proof. If you want an obese man to push on you while you’re lifting, go for it. Pay him money too. Load equipment up… then have a guy shove against it while grunting. Sure thing, bud.
I would be curious to find out what you, personally know about the 70's and 80's gym scene. I know lots because I was there. I don't know you, but your wholesale classification of a complicated (and no more drug addled time than today) situation belies that likely you were not. Reducing everything to some critical aspect of it misses the good, wholesome things that were very much also present. Try to dismiss what you dislike yet keep anything that is useful. There is some, I assure you.
@@j.m.blakley4126 You’re trying too hard, guy. Buy our new EliteFTS CPAP machine in RADICAL red and get some sleep. Next time you 96 a guy in the gym on film… YOU are OUT OF HERE!
Troy, here is the GOLDEN RULE OF WARM UP: Get ready but don't get tired. Instict and experience will be your guide. Try less, more, etc. Find the lowest amount you can do andvstill be.mentally and physically ready. The truth is our bidies dont need much. But our psych does. I had a long slow prep. Not for my body, ... for my mental attack.
@@j.m.blakley4126 Thanks for the info.. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to get back me. looking forward to more of your content and knowledge!
8 minutes?........get on a glute ham machine....do a slow concentric and follow it with a very slow eccentric and isoholds.....dont know many that would last 8 minutes!!
I think I may, but it was misapplied here in that I did not use the oppostie of what I wanted to illustrate then try to show it's absurdity. I should have just said that I wanted to "reduce this to an absurd level of minimization". Your comment is well taken.
@@j.m.blakley4126 Whoa! A reply from the man himself (or someone posing as the man!) 'Absurd level of simplicity' might have been better. Good wishes to you
Absurdum, not absurdium... Dude wanna sound smart but it's all smoke, he doesn't know the words he's using, to define his concept... 😭 Even I knew it and my first language isn't even English... In less than 8 min I can make you cry with just one plate on the leg curls machine and going super slow. Rest pause. And what it does for strength? Nothing at all. It's by no means equalled to 4-5 exercises, not even close. It's like when powerlifters Flex their muscles and try to do bodybuilding poses... Leave this to the professionals.
Latin is hard! I, too, dislike when people misspeak. Thank you for the correction; duly noted! However, as to the remainder of your comment, ... it is you who can do better! Not only is everything accurate, it is effective for the application. Please, don't BELIEVE ME! Get an education, coach at a high level, and train amongst the world's best for a few years, and compete successfully against them. Then you can BELIEVE YOURSELF! You'll find out I am correct one way or another. Believe me now, or believe me later.
JM is the type of dude to go home and talk to his muscles
And those fuckers would listen
Just softly talking to them in that whispery voice he has 😂
you bet
Dude he's had 7 cats at home and they throw him around like a rag doll... Poor guy..Jim is.huge but he has it rough.
The two sides of JM so far in these videos:
1) the human embodiment of a cherry blossom in full bloom at sunset
2) a highly-skilled, demented warlock
Its amazing the difference in emotion between the table talks and his coaching, I would love to have the honor to train with JM one day

I love how this channel always has legends like Blakely! I appreciate the posts!
JM can literally feel when people are BS’ing their workouts, LOL! “He was pretending like he was pulling hard, but he wasn’t really pulling hard!"
JM seems like he has a really invigorating training philosophy. Great video!
JM has the perfect sprinkle of asshattery to keep you going, but camaraderie to leave you feeling good about yourself.
Extremely underrated comment. Good going my Man!
I love JM's hands-on and in-depth approach to coaching, definitely one of the most passionate coaches out there!
JM the Zen Master could coach wrist curls for 30 minutes and I'd watch every damned second
I enjoyed the sound of the grinding leather on the pad.
Yo JM went from Gandhi to Hitler in seconds
Change it to Gandhi to Stalin...
They might like your comment. 😂🤔
That's the best way to be
😂
@@sadradehbashi3598 Stalin is supposed to be better? The man responsible for Holodomor? Yikes.
@@Emilvn96 Yep, the Stalin also deported 10 nations from their motherland. Cant believe someone thinks he is better than Hitler. Same trash.
The singing mountain, J.M. otherwise so gentle, the gentle giant, and suddenly BAM! Tom Platz. R.I.P. boy and hamstrings.
This may have been the most sadistic approach to motivation I have ever seen! Makes Dr. Mike Isratel's sessions look like Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood.
Now if we could get JM and Platz to do a leg session.
You would need a wheel chair.
That first minute. I unlocked my third eye

Superset deadlifts and good mornings. That will do it. Careful to warm up doing good mornings.

1st half JM: me talking to my houseplants
2nd half JM: me cussing looking for my goddamn 10mm socket wrench
Ryan & JM, awesome example!
Working out solo at home, unilateral curls are good because going past failure the other leg can assist.
I love everything with JM! Even if I don't agree, I understand his reasoning, so it's more knowledge as food for thought.

He would make an excellent kindergarten teacher.
I've made fun of the guy before but he does a great job with the psychological aspect of sport.
Why have you made fun of him?
That was awesome! I vote for more videos like this!
JM philosophy is so inspiring. Thank you for this.
Why does JM look like a German scientist who experimented on himself to create massive muscle gain?
Love the way the guy is hyperextending his knees on the downside rest period...must be an advanced technique!
This hamstrings gone to heaven
Fantastic! I need a training partner. I'm solo most of the time except for asking for bench spots to test myself.
Thanks JM
Next week: 6 minutes to complete respiratory failure
I'm like this. Sometimes I scream to get in that last rep. I've pushed my legs to shake so bad, I was certain I would die.
That dude won't be able to walk down a set of stairs-his hamstrings and thigh biceps will give out and he's gonna do the buttbounce on every step to the bottom...

That dude is going to have hamstring cramps.
Wasn’t expecting that!
i need this type of trainer lmao
Pfft, I can make my hamstrings fail in half that time.
Wow - brutal hamstring blowout!
Hamstrings, plural, Brian
Great video. One question, how does JM Blakely , meditates between sessions? Any videos done?
I believe that was covered here: ruclips.net/video/vCy3V5SuQio/видео.html
@@eliteftsofficial thanks i did find the podcast also , related to that, I am getting really valuable information

Insane
God I love it!
Can anyone please tell how much weight he actually doing??
Workout starts at 5:38
I didn't knew JM was into BDSM
Monks praise Buddha statues, powerlifter praise JM for his wisdom. Guy seems so chill

Did I say it singular? Biceps and triceps too. I try to break my bad habits. Point noted.
@@j.m.blakley4126 was refused BICEP in a game of scrabble in 1997. It still smarts
JM, i wish you were my dad
I think you need to work him harder, he got up off that machine way too easily.
Sorry, but it looked a little low on effort.
I'm fairly certain I went to high school with the guy Ryan in the video... If it is he has certainly changed from the quiet Jehova Witness I knew lol
JM is more winded from this workout than the guy he's training
True! Thank God I'm not competing any longer!
