Despite all the other shit and drama that goes on and has gone on in the past you are actually one of the only people ive actually seen or heard say how simple it is for the average joe to get in shape, all others do is try and sell you complicated workouts, diet plans or some secret solution that doesn't exist, for that i salute you.
These concise, no BS, straight-to-the-point videos are why Jason, after many, many years of youtube, is the only fitness channel left on my subscribed list.
You're right! 3 years ago I stopped drinking alcohol, ate more protein. Started doing 180 push-ups and 75 pull-ups daily. I lost 30 pounds of fat and gained 25 pounds of muscle. I'm 38
100% agree! Just got back to the gym a few months ago. Doing full body workouts with a handful of compound exercises 3x per week. Keeping my workouts to no more than 45mins max and have seen huge gains. A few of the guys who work in the gym have commented on what I do and told me that most of the other guys in the gym spend freaking hours doing tons of sets/reps of isolations and arent getting anywhere fast. The average gym goer loves to sit on a machine looking at their facebook and other bs social media. Get in, hit it hard and get out fast. Why spend hours a day in the gym when you can get the same if not better results in a fraction of the time
How did I miss this? Definitely subscribed now. I’m a rugby player here in the U.K. and as with many at this level (I still play to a pretty high club level) I work a full time job in addition to rugby. I literally got fed up with having to get to the gym after work in the week because in the pre and in season I also have Tuesday and Thursday evening rugby skills/drills sessions and then of course in the in season we have the game on Saturdays. I wanted to find a way that I could get some decent strength and conditioning 5 days a week in the off season and then on Mondays/Wednesdays during the pre/in season. I went out and bought an Olympic barbell, 500lbs of bumper plates, got my brother who is a scaffolder to knock up a rack for me to squat, press and do dips and pull ups from, I do floor press instead of bench, deadlifts, rows, power cleans and complexes, got myself a huuuge tractor tyre from a local scrapyard to flip, a sledgehammer to smash that tyre with, got a thick rope with a tyre from a pick up attached to one end for pulling over hand and sled pulling, found an old keg from a pub and half filled it with water and used it for clean and pressing and doing carries with, I got a med ball for doing explosive over head rear tosses with, I found two 150lbs kettle bells (68kg) that a guy had been using as door stops 😂, I use those for doing timed holds and farmers carries, I made up a 200lbs sandbag from my old kit bag from when I was still serving as a Royal Marine Commando, basically made loads of 5lbs bags using zip locks backs wrapped in a load of duct tape to stop them splitting so I can adjust the weight. All of those cost me well under £500 (about $700 US) and it has paid itself back twice over in saved memberships. Literally it’s just big, dirty and hardcore training on the land attached to my property now and I’m arguably stronger and better conditioned than the other forwards at my rugby club (I play back row, so I’m part of the pack/scrum). This doesn’t need to be complicated and even if all I had was the Olympic barbell, bumper plates and tractor tyre, I’d still be able to get quality training in with good results. I’d recommend this style of training to anyone.
Jason - ihave been running a power lifting program training DL, Front Squat and OHP for a year. Getting into great shape doing this. Can't imagine doing anything else. BARBELLS!
Great video. Ive been doing fierce 5 barbell routine for two months now 3x a week and feel great. My lifts have gone up and beginning to see solid muscle mass. Need to focus more on the LISS GPP and dieting for sure but slowly but surely.
Sir you are directly talking to me. I am 56 yrs old still thinking that I can lift as I were in my twenties. I recently resumed training only use barbells 3x week followings twerked 5x5 . Regime. I only need to lose a good 15 lbs. you mad3 my day
You know for now I just watch first 2 minutes of this video, and I stopped myself and writing this "this video can be most honest helpful candid video I ever saw" Thank you man.
Save the $300-600 and buy some spinlock dumbbells off Craigslist (rest the plates on your leg, not the bar), and buy a 2x4 from HomeDepot. Lie it on the ground for horizontal press, and tie it to a chair for incline. Or roll up some towels and pick a routine that doesn't use incline. If you insist on spending money or have been consistent longer than a year go ahead and spend the money. But if you hate spinlocks, grab Powerblocks, they're about the same price but expandable and more reliable with a 15-year warranty (unless dropped--so not really worth much I guess). Bowflex have some sort of a flaw in the weight selection mechanism, and tend to break after a year or two.
Agree here. So many channels also talk about what is "optimal". My goals are simply to be in great shape and look good. I mix cycling, running, GPP (in the form of circuit training), basic barbell exercises and bodyweight like dips and chinups. The structure is a bit random due to my fluid schedule but my stamina is through the roof. I know it means I'm a jack of all trades and master of none but I don't care and the average person shouldn't either. I'm not competing and most don't either. I feel great.
Over the years I have tried it all. And I have watched thousands of vids on weight training and physical development. And like a compass needle keeps coming back to north, I keep coming back to the things and advice spoken about in this vid. I am 60. I do some big compound moves. Upper body pulls in a variety of directions. Pushes in various directions. Squat variations and deadlift variations for legs. Just basic lifts. I do some brisk walking everyday if I can. And 3 days a week I do some barbell complexes . Without variance I do hang clean, front squat, overhead press, to bent over row. Just keep doing till I feel pretty shot. With at most 40kg on bar (sometimes just 20 on the bar if I feel tired). I stopped drinking beer and if I feel like a drink I have a few shots of spirits. I stopped drinking fruit juices. I started eating more veges. I haven't made too many other dietary changes. I have gone from 115kg down to a current 100kg at 185cm. Muscled for my age. Not shredded. But I look like someone who is strong and fit for an old fart. So Jason, I just want to say that what you say has been my way doing things for sometime now and it works mate.
Is there a way to get around shoulder and elbow pain doing pull ups? I've tried neutral grip. I've had a shoulder impingement for months. I heard dead hangs help but it hurts like hell
Go check out the AthleanX channel. Jeff Cavaliere - Physical therapist - has numerous videos on rehabbing,- especially shoulder impingements. Worth your time and effort.
Yes, big barbell movements. The best shape I've ever been in was when following Pavel Tsotsoline (?) and his book "Power to the Ppl". Deadlifts and bench. Then back off and go light while working back up and surpassing your last max. I would always hit plateaus and couldn't progress. His program solved that for me.
I have been watching some Matt Wenning vids and he seems popular right now with his strength seminars and work with the military. He seems to give alot of bad advice like benching and squatting the same day is a terrible idea because you don't want to tear all your muscle down. He recommends a ton of tricep extension work and rotating exercises every week using 40-50 different exercises. Also says you should only workout 50min to hour and 10min because cortisol and testosterone start to all. Using minimal rest between sets with a goal of completely tearing down a muscle on a given workout. whenever someone brings up that they have made great gainz on high frequency full body he just says its because they are not strong yet. He seems to be well spoken and intelligent but contradictory maybe its his westside backround.
I walk on average about 10 miles a day. Would that qualify as LISS cardio? Also, what is wrong with butter and saturated fat in general? I thought that was outdated diet information.
It's crazy how much of a difference eating more protein and fibre makes. If I eat sufficient vegetables to hit my ~30g of fibre a day, and eat chicken eggs and whey shake to hit my protein, I'm struggling to hit 1500 calories. Moreover, for every cup of vegetables added, I find I can take out a cup of rice or pasta.
@jasonblaha never a truer word said! This is exactly what I do and it works. I can comfortably do 15 pull ups and 20 dips and my upper body looks better than most people in my gym without any fancy exercises. What weight would you say is a good place to get to for standing press? Thanks
When you talk about the big movement like squats and deadlifts, should we be going as hard/heavy as we possibly can? Or can we still reap the benefits of these big movements using weights that are 70-75% of our maxes?
What sucks most is being a very tall person, have above avg results on main lifts BUT pull ups/chin ups., no sir. No way above 6-10 with arm reach of usa to europe.
hey jason can you please talk a little bit about olympic weightlifters and benefits it has for the average gym goer, i have transitioned from bodybuilding to powerlifting to now weightlifting and i feel that improvements in these movements have provided me with the greatest feelings of accomplishments, since olympic lifting primarily deals with barbell movements only, what is your opinion on the benefits this sport can provide for strength and fitness goals?
ah one of the common misconceptions is that during a regular training session all it entails are clean and jerks, snatches and squats, however many olympic lifters program benchpressing, deadlifting, pull ups and a plethora of core movements. although the primary goal is to have the heaviest possible c+j and snatch, of course i want to achieve maximal strength in the squat, bench, overhead press, and deadlift and many competitive oly lifers can put out elite level numbers in the powerlifting movements as well. imo the primary oly lifts provide a great benefit for fitness because it is the ultimate test of strength, speed, and stability while allowing for muscular development and athleticism
you likely researched individuals who have highly competitive endeavours even to perhaps an olympic level, im referring to enthusiasts, of course one can argue that incorporating those movements have no merit to the oly lifts but regardless theyre still fun to do and have physical benefits, one example of an athlete who excels at benching is clarence kennedy, he has an insane deadlift, vertical jump, and can trick, but clearly his passion is of weightlifting. im simply talking about using oly lifting as an outlet for fitness, this does not mean you cant be muscular or be strong in other lifts, one cant be best in all of them but most people dont aspire to be elite level athletes at these movements
illusionarytactic Am not sure Jason is really qualified in relation to Olympic lifts. This sort of training is a bit above the mere mortals and takes years to master
Sounds like I'm Elite then, 4 hour 15 minute marathon (half off road), sub 2 hour half, 70 mile on/off road cycle ride in 7 hours in 36 degree C heat, over double bodyweight deadlift and well over 1 and a half times body weight bench in the last year ot two. Trouble is being a jack of all trades I never win anything, I don't like doing any one thing enough to be dedicated in one area. You are right about HITT training being useless for stamina. I'm 40 years old and last time my VO2 max was tested (18 months ago) it was the same as a fit 25 year old. I train cycling with a guy in his 60's who is still faster than me and strong as he is an ex powerlifter. Being from a farm and construction background many people I grew up with did manual work after school which soon makes you fit. Now everything is manly machines youngsters these days are soft. I had days I had to work that hard I thought I'd actually died and was living in hell, running a marathon and lifting a few weights is nothing after surviving days of near actual exaustion. My boss was brutal and threw someone off the roof who upset him one day, luckily he landed in the sand heap next to the mixer and it was only a 2 storey house and a big heap. Needless to say as a young lad I was scared of him, it made me learn to work hard though. Nobody these days has a clue what workplace bullying even is...
Power to the People and play sports! I tell most girls I coach that a year from now, they will be way stronger than the average Joe simply with commitment with a ridiculously simple program.
hey jason i know you have talked about this in the past but could you do a video breaking down how one would go about squatting every day to a daily max? and some of the do's and dont's of daily maxing?
I agree with this. Some day we'll also find that mostly abstaining from bread, pasta, noodles and sugary cereals is massively beneficial for those who find it hard to lose weight.
I disagree about not needing to use dumbbells or cables . More exercises can be done with dumbbells, even though the barbell exercises are excellent, they have their own dumbbell equivalent. However there are exercises that can be best done with bar and those best done with dumbbell and/ or cable. My point is mix it up and have a variety.
Well I stand by my previous points. Why limit yourself to barbell when dumbbells will do it too. You can train with all types of equipment. Also not to be overlooked is no equipment and train in calisthenics.
Wouldn´t Jason´s point be to keep things as simple as they possibly could be so that adding more stuff and more exercises to the workouts would complicate things unnecessarily? I have been physically active all my life doing field sports, martial arts, biking, swimming and going to the gym. Now at 54 I have realised that less truly is more. Basic compound exercises, a little playtime with Olympic lifting techniques, some flexibility work and some cardio work outside the gym biking and swimming is all I need to still be in great shape. I plan for things to stay this way ´till I´m 85. Why complicate things when you don´t need to? The dumbbell isolation exercises are for bodybuilders and vain young men wearing out the mirrors of the gym.
Hold on there. I understand what you're saying and you make some valid points that I would be inclined to agree with. Your equipment of choice makes no difference Your muscles don't know whether you are using dumbbells, barbells or cable. Your training method of choice depends hugely on your goals.
Depends how bad it is. I've actually never been to the doc or chiro with any of my back injuries, the worst of which was likely a disk-bulge. I would say wait a week or so unless the pain is absolutely crippling.
What do you mean? I was 255 in February and my goal for this year is 205. I put up a shirtless photo at 209 just over a week ago and have over an entire month to drop the last 4 lbs for my goal. I'll most likely go down to 190-195 next year.
This video should be played on repeat in every gym in the world.
Despite all the other shit and drama that goes on and has gone on in the past you are actually one of the only people ive actually seen or heard say how simple it is for the average joe to get in shape, all others do is try and sell you complicated workouts, diet plans or some secret solution that doesn't exist, for that i salute you.

Having lost 20lb weight then gained it back as muscle, this dude is seriously on point.
This is one of the most on point videos I’ve ever watched....bravo

Good comments

Baaaaaaaahhhhbells !
Maybe some row and you finished
This has some Bob Ross kind of pleasantness to it.
Most people only need this video
I agree with this video. If its not broken, why fix it! Lets keep it simple and ignore all these fad programs out there!
Great video Jason.
Great video. Ive been doing fierce 5 barbell routine for two months now 3x a week and feel great. My lifts have gone up and beginning to see solid muscle mass. Need to focus more on the LISS GPP and dieting for sure but slowly but surely.
This is so true . I’ve been lifting for a year . I’ve never touched a machine in my life and deadlift 440, Squat 330 and bench 265 with abs
Let me get this straight. Are you telling me that I dont need to spend $100 a month on supplements and read bodybuilding.com ?
yup.
Sir you are directly talking to me. I am 56 yrs old still thinking that I can lift as I were in my twenties. I recently resumed training only use barbells 3x week followings twerked 5x5 . Regime. I only need to lose a good 15 lbs. you mad3 my day
Fantastic video Jason
You know for now I just watch first 2 minutes of this video, and I stopped myself and writing this "this video can be most honest helpful candid video I ever saw" Thank you man.
Keeping with the 'basic' theme, one could make a home gym inexpensively and not even need a gym membership
Clancy Ross lol max Size?
That's what I have.
Rubber mat
Olympic bar
Weights
Pullup bar
Bowflex adjustable bumbells, chin-up bar and an adjustable bench is all most need. After a year it costs less than you'd have spent on gym fees.
Save the $300-600 and buy some spinlock dumbbells off Craigslist (rest the plates on your leg, not the bar), and buy a 2x4 from HomeDepot. Lie it on the ground for horizontal press, and tie it to a chair for incline. Or roll up some towels and pick a routine that doesn't use incline.

totally agree with you, some are stucked in cyberspace thinking majority of people are muscular but infact majority are over and underweight.
you are so on point its rediculous .
great video Jason
spitting bombs of truth Sir, greetings from Germany
This is awesome Jason. Thanks for the simple and easy to follow advice.
What is "gpp cardio"? (maybe I've misheard something?)
Is there a way to get around shoulder and elbow pain doing pull ups? I've tried neutral grip. I've had a shoulder impingement for months. I heard dead hangs help but it hurts like hell

What are your thoughts on crossfit and barbell clubs? Seems those are more functional ways to workout.
hey Jason. can you do a follow-up to this video for 'what the average person needs to do to get in shape according to the internet'? 😂
I have been watching some Matt Wenning vids and he seems popular right now with his strength seminars and work with the military.

This is an incredible insightful video if you really pay attention and follow through with it.
For some reason i always buzz of the bit when he puts his hat on lol
What is GPP?
Nice one, JB.
Jason can you do a video on the snatch and the clean and jerk? For muscle/strength/athleticism. Thanks !
Hi there. Can you do 5 reps with a 100 kg power twister?
To be honest, this guy speaks sense to me. Great video.
What sucks most is being a very tall person, have above avg results on main lifts BUT pull ups/chin ups., no sir. No way above 6-10 with arm reach of usa to europe.

illusionarytactic Am not sure Jason is really qualified in relation to Olympic lifts.
This sort of training is a bit above the mere mortals and takes years to master
awesome video
If you use steroids you can’t criticise this guy!
Very well explained
How would you structure GPP program while doing a full body 3 day a week program also?
He changed his views on full-body training
Sounds like I'm Elite then, 4 hour 15 minute marathon (half off road), sub 2 hour half, 70 mile on/off road cycle ride in 7 hours in 36 degree C heat, over double bodyweight deadlift and well over 1 and a half times body weight bench in the last year ot two.
Trouble is being a jack of all trades I never win anything, I don't like doing any one thing enough to be dedicated in one area.
You are right about HITT training being useless for stamina. I'm 40 years old and last time my VO2 max was tested (18 months ago) it was the same as a fit 25 year old.
I train cycling with a guy in his 60's who is still faster than me and strong as he is an ex powerlifter. Being from a farm and construction background many people I grew up with did manual work after school which soon makes you fit. Now everything is manly machines youngsters these days are soft. I had days I had to work that hard I thought I'd actually died and was living in hell, running a marathon and lifting a few weights is nothing after surviving days of near actual exaustion.
My boss was brutal and threw someone off the roof who upset him one day, luckily he landed in the sand heap next to the mixer and it was only a 2 storey house and a big heap. Needless to say as a young lad I was scared of him, it made me learn to work hard though. Nobody these days has a clue what workplace bullying even is...
Damn crouch, i was really looking forward to face pull summercamp. I sure do hope i can get a refund!
Am I the only one who thought that was Sylvester Stallone on the thumbnail..?
No
Hey does anybody know what Jason is doing with all that stuff in front of him????
Reloading bullets.
being based
Power to the People and play sports! I tell most girls I coach that a year from now, they will be way stronger than the average Joe simply with commitment with a ridiculously simple program.
He is correct
What's that screw type machine do?
It is a case trimmer. It cuts down resizes rifle cartridges to a preset length after resizing them.
hey jason i know you have talked about this in the past but could you do a video breaking down how one would go about squatting every day to a daily max? and some of the do's and dont's of daily maxing?
He stopped doing that. He said it was too taxing mentally and physically
Jason I hit all those numbers and have no gains baby don't lie to the people
I agree with this. Some day we'll also find that mostly abstaining from bread, pasta, noodles and sugary cereals is massively beneficial for those who find it hard to lose weight.
I disagree about not needing to use dumbbells or cables . More exercises can be done with dumbbells, even though the barbell exercises are excellent, they have their own dumbbell equivalent.

I have been physically active all my life doing field sports, martial arts, biking, swimming and going to the gym.
Now at 54 I have realised that less truly is more.
Basic compound exercises, a little playtime with Olympic lifting techniques, some flexibility work and some cardio work outside the gym biking and swimming is all I need to still be in great shape.
I plan for things to stay this way ´till I´m 85.
Why complicate things when you don´t need to?
The dumbbell isolation exercises are for bodybuilders and vain young men wearing out the mirrors of the gym.
Hold on there. I understand what you're saying and you make some valid points that I would be inclined to agree with.
Your equipment of choice makes no difference Your muscles don't know whether you are using dumbbells, barbells or cable. Your training method of choice depends hugely on your goals.
Honestly my biggest problem is needing to drop 50 pounds
how long should i wait for my lower back injury to heal up before i go to the doctor or chiropractor
