John I really like how you bring in your friends who aren't body builders. This is a great platform to instruct anyone who is newer to lifting. Kudos for passing forward your decades of knowledge.
Merry Xmas John and thank you for all the content this year. You are the best on RUclips fitness. You cover every aspect - not just the training - which sets you apart. Your ability to pick up on how other people move correctly/incorrectly is phenomenal. Can’t wait for next year’s content.
Definitely trying this workout tonight. I like where the movement focuses the tension on the contraction. In my 50s, it can be difficult to get that feel on each set.
Awesome keep up the good work I like doing floor press with the Smith machine free weight With the straight bar and dumbbells thanks for your tips I'm old school I've been lifting since the late eighties🏆 💪😁🤙
I love you so much man. Thank you for the way of explaination, the way of showing and ofcourse sharing this with us. I’ll try this on friday. Have a nice holidays The Mountain Dog !
I found this channel a week ago and already hooked. This is by far the best channel of the subject and your pedagogical skills are really really good. Greetings from finland. Btw I'm born 11th april 1972 too💪
In most of my chest workouts i like doing those stretched press ups super setting with either dumbbell flyes or pullovers as last exercise. I tend to use the same dumbbells though as i just put them down and tilt them onto their sides so they are standing upright
Thank u for the video. Wondering if you could make a video on the different cable fly variations & are the ones far apart or closer better? I’ve seen different forms in the gym & have coaches that have diff variations, but wanted to know what the Prof. of bodybuilding has to say on this topic.
Hey man, recently subbed. Really like your old school bodybuilding approach and some of the fun stuff you do like in this vid. There is no useless bs in the vid and it’s well made. Been doing fairly straightforward strength and hypertrophy work for most of this year as I lose weight and results have been good. These vids give me some cool ideas for stuff to do when I start bulking! I want to throw stuff like this in every now and then just for variety and enjoyment, even if it doesn’t strictly increase my bench or whatever.
you should make a video as a study of how Regan Grimes moves the weight, as he is so stable and perfect in his moves that his arms and legs never shiver even when under extreme stress. Then we can find out how to achieve this ability....
when avoiding shaking, moves are much more stable and so potential involving tissue; Maybe we, you and me and others suffering shaking, experience less than best possible gains due ot lack of ability to not panicly contract before reaching final destination of the rep, in the end of the rep and so bring the move to end calm and controlled, without stress, stress induces cortisol etc. and so may be benefitting from doing this in more than musclestimulative manner only, as this allso becomes mind and so neurotransmitter and hormornal involvement.
Thanks for this. New subscriber here. Tried it earlier at home so I subbed dumbbell flyes and dumbbell floor presses. Had an awesome pump at the end of the workout! Looking forward to trying your PPL I saw on Muscle & Strength channel.
Awesome content as always. I feel that the music volume changes can be done smoother as it goes from real loud to suddenly very low in volume when you start talking. It can be done smoother.
Yet another interesting video with some great ideas John. I'd be really interested to know your thoughts on how to even up a muscle that is lagging behind on one side. For example, my right pec (which is my preferred side) is stronger than my left, but visibly smaller in size. How do you fix it? Is it using more weight on that side? Is it doing a few extra reps on that side? Or more sets on that side? Maybe you can make a video on the topic some time.
John love the videos! I have a question. I have one clavicular head that is lagging behind the other as far as growth. I’m right handed and the one lagging is my right pec. Do you know what would cause this, or a specific exercise to try and correct/ catchup the less developed side.
John I had a question I'm hoping you can answer. How will flat feet affect your squat and other lifts? Especially with load distribution and activation. Appreciate you and your channel sir.
Hey John! Thank you very much for all your videoes and merry x-mas! I just finished your program Creeping Death 2 and I like PPL, what program should I do next? Would you recommend doing Creeping Death 2 all over again after the deload?
I’ve been adding the floor presses into my routine and I’ve noticed huge growth. I’m new to the RUclips world with my channel. You’re a huge inspiration. Are you accepting new clients? I’m looking to really make a huge push into the IFBB next year in the Men’s Physique division as an all natural athlete. Thanks and keep up the great work! 🙏🏽
I noticed you said you have a hyrnia. I just had surgery on mine a week and a half ago not that bad really, another 2 or 3 weeks I feel like I'll be back in the gym. I'm going to try this circuit when I get back, looks pretty solid.
It depends on how fast you heal . Try some swimming and cross training without weights. Mine took awhile to not feel like it was burning or coming apart. I over did it and it slowed my recovery. I don't know how he still does it . I had to take almost 8weeks but I am middle age. Finally I am back able to train hard for 90 min to 2 hrs. With only 1min rest between sets. The swimming really helps. Before I workout. Go workout and get Pumped up. ;) GREAT CHANNEL !!
@@bradirwin5345 indeed it does depend on that, it's been 2 weeks for me, I'm going to try some light feeder workouts at home next week and work up. I trained with mine for 3 years though, I just couldn't train abs, but somehow I could deadlifts and pull some weight, sometimes it would bother me though. Main reason I wanted it fixed was so I can try competing next august and train abs.
@@hallowedbethygains1208 Goodluck I hope you succeed. I still have trouble with abs .leg raises kill me. I am interested in what works for you . I plan on training hard this month on machines and more cardio.
@@bradirwin5345 much appreciated man, I will keep you updated when I start. I'll more than likely put videos up about it on my channel as well feel free to check in on it. I'm also going to put up my entire at home routine on the channel eventually too that worked for me for like 4 years. It's pretty much an alternative for people who either can't afford, or can't get to a gym, or just don't have time to get there a particular day, all with nothing but a set of dumbells and some other improvised things. Definitly keep me posted on your progress as well, hope all works out in your favor make those gains!
Great workout tips! I love floor presses. Why do people think Brett's a homeless guy? He looks more like a home equity products executive that lifts ! 😀
focus on your form. go for high reps. control the eccentric portion (very slow) followed by a quick and smooth concentric phase of the lift. time under tension is key. form > weight.
Hey my fellow Ohioian! I have a question.. how do I build legs without building a bigger butt? I love working legs but my damn ass is getting too big for my likings.. any suggestions?! Thanks bro and happy holidays!!
giantsets? Man, I start legpress, then chestmachinebench supersetting/dropsetting these proceed no breaking this with seated rows and then... a little break while backextention is on and then leg is on again. This way the pump never gets too tense as we move it between upper and lower body. How you think about this strategy?

"Not going heavy" immediately repping over 200lbs. Like its nothing. 😂 Pure machine. As always great stuff. Can't wait to try.
Brett's form is excellent, the way he focuses on a slow eccentric for all his movements is very good.
You're such a realist, say it as it is AND show it as it is. THAT'S maturity and experience. Total respect from ya 53 year old bb buddy from UK
Love the charity work being added into the channel. Way to help the less fortunate with bodybuilding
Merry Christmas John! Thanks for the continuous release of quality content out there!
Great workout and I like the advice .I am in my 60s and I sometimes have to get up of the floor like you.
John I really like how you bring in your friends who aren't body builders. This is a great platform to instruct anyone who is newer to lifting. Kudos for passing forward your decades of knowledge.
i agree mtdog, i always tell people find what is fun to you and train your body that way.

thank you!
I really enjoyed those exercises, will be doing those on Thursday and keep you posted, thank you sir and have a joyful Holiday and your partner too.
„not just moving the weights, but really contracing“ that is pure gold, thx, man.
Definitely trying this workout tonight. I like where the movement focuses the tension on the contraction. In my 50s, it can be difficult to get that feel on each set.
Awesome John! Thanks so much for a year of wisdom, knowledge and inspiration. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
This is great, I might throw this in after dynamic bench work. Thanks John.
John,
Great video. I have been watching your videos for motivation before I hit the gym. Thanks for the content!
Love the video John! You have one of the best training channels out there! Also you explain everything very well! Keep up the excellent work!
Goin to get after it shortly! Thank you for the useful info as always!
Awesome keep up the good work I like doing floor press with the Smith machine free weight With the straight bar and dumbbells thanks for your tips I'm old school I've been lifting since the late eighties🏆 💪😁🤙
This looks like a must try. Definitely going to spice things up.
Keep crushing it John !
Merry Christmas John hope you and yours are blessed! Thanks for everything!
"No heavy weight today"
*Jumps straight in with 90lb dumbells*
I love you so much man. Thank you for the way of explaination, the way of showing and ofcourse sharing this with us. I’ll try this on friday. Have a nice holidays The Mountain Dog !
Dude, I wish I was able to use multiple stations and equipment like this in my gym.
You have to go early, I was today at around 2pm, empty gym.Or very late like 10pm.
The Dog and the Hobo, great episode. Oh ya, good to see push-ups getting due credit also. Flat bench can be rough on a guys shoulders.
I found this channel a week ago and already hooked. This is by far the best channel of the subject and your pedagogical skills are really really good. Greetings from finland. Btw I'm born 11th april 1972 too💪

Hey John, I learned so much from your videos. Thank you and all the best for the new year to you yor familie and friends. Joyeux Noël et bonne année.
I don't understand 100% of wath you say in your videos but my skills in English allows me to know that this channel is amazing

"Now make sure to take a break between sets, 20 seconds should do it" ... love it.
It's always the right choice to follow him!
I really like how you almost never miss a comment even though you get over 200 comments 👍
Also merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you as well!

Does Regan make your body shiver?

Great videos dude! Keep up the good work.
Great, definitely gonna do this from time to time.
What music was it that was playing?
Merry Christmas to y'all at Mountain Dog! And may all your pumps be epic
"we're gonna stay away from the real heavy dumbell stuff." 10 secs later 90 lb dumbell incline
90lbs is light if your used to doing 125&^
Perfectly timed on international chest day,! Thank you and happy holidays!
Merry Christmas John. Merry Christmas Brett
Merry Christmas
Awesome content as always. I feel that the music volume changes can be done smoother as it goes from real loud to suddenly very low in volume when you start talking. It can be done smoother.
sometimes we have to because of the music playing a the gym..it'll get our vids demonitized
John, what is the music you used for this vid? Love the motivational beasty sound!!
Great video as usual, is there a link for full body workout in gym because i didn’t workout for years and planned go to gym tomorrow ?? Thanks

im the same way - more dumbell work
Hey john! Are those iron rebel elbow sleeves? I’ve been wanting to get a pair! How do you like them??
Great video
i wont do chest without them
John love the videos! I have a question. I have one clavicular head that is lagging behind the other as far as growth. I’m right handed and the one lagging is my right pec. Do you know what would cause this, or a specific exercise to try and correct/ catchup the less developed side.
very normal - use more dumbells
John I had a question I'm hoping you can answer. How will flat feet affect your squat and other lifts? Especially with load distribution and activation. Appreciate you and your channel sir.
more glute and adductor, less quad...BUT not a massive difference..
Happy xmas to you and yours John ❤ ✌
Merry Christmas!
blood flow, mind to muscle and drink plenty of water. Top chest video 👌
looks like a crazy pump!!!

welcome!
I didn’t know if there was a more graceful looking way to roll off the chair while doing push-ups. I see you collapse about the same way I do.
Hey John! Thank you very much for all your videoes and merry x-mas! I just finished your program Creeping Death 2 and I like PPL, what program should I do next? Would you recommend doing Creeping Death 2 all over again after the deload?
hmm..have you done the Gauntlet?

Compliments of the season to everyone for 2019

Whats in your opinion the best belt for bodybuilding?
elitefts.com has my favorite
"He's actually a retired banker"
*exbanker glares with stink eye*
Exbanker: I was going for war veteran, which also happens to be homeless guy. 🤣
I think that guy preferred homeless to ex-banker ... I should know, I have been both ... ha, ha.
@@JohnSmith-zo6ir I've been homeless, but I've been fortunate enough to not have to be a banker. 🤣
@@Marine_Veteran_Vegan_Gamer You are fortunate, they're a bunch of crooks 👍
That's really hard.
If I'm aiming just to get bigger is there something I should focus on more as far as lifting goes?
focus on your form. go for high reps. control the eccentric portion (very slow) followed by a quick and smooth concentric phase of the lift. time under tension is key. form > weight.
What would be a good split to hit my chest twice a week?🙏
The metro Columbus area has so many good gyms lucky
for sure
Hes actually a retired banker. Boss
I’ve trained going to lockout for so long I have to remind myself on every rep not to go to lockout
