Partial reps and “cheating” reps are some of the best advanced techniques available. One of my favorite is reaching failure, then implementing partial reps. Get ready for that burn. *UFF!!*
This is the content TH-cam needs. Not these fake fitness influencers doing eating challengers and doing 5kg bicep curls. Thank you John and fouad for inspiring me everyday to continue going gym. I started a year ago and the best thing I did for mental health. Thank you again much love from Australia
“There’s a difference in moving weight and contracting muscle” I’m about 10 months into my journey and I’m always blown away when I make a new connection.
Your pal Foaud seems like a really sound guy. Loved the between-sets talk about mindset, intensity, mind-muscle connection. Really helps me think about how I should be focusing mentally when training.
I can’t believe anyone would give this a thumbs down. John and Fouad are the sh!t. Together in the same video...priceless. I can’t think of a single time I’ve watched either of you and didn’t learn something.
Fouad is damn right, lots of them TH-cam fitness guys doesn't know the difference between partials & cheap reps but they've been training people for years. Partials to me is keeping the tension on the muscles...
Very important lesson learned today on difference between partial and cheat reps. Thanks for that, John. Love how Fouad, who clearly is a pro and knows what he’s doing, is open and willing to learn from John. That’s how you get ahead of the competition, Fouad! Way to go! Keep it up, both of you. 👊🏼💪🏼👍🏼
John, I got the hugest complement in the gym yesterday. The person said your front and side shoulders look good but your rear felt is crazy huge! Thank you John Meadows as I've been blasting my rear delta with pec machine and dumbells. Once again Thank you!!
You know, it's because of you that I started following Fouad and I'm so glad I did. I've been binging all his content lately...super good dude, and very smart
I’m a be a big fan of Fouad channel. His channel is one of the better ones out there. To see both of the people I follow talk about bodybuilding is pretty awesome. Much respect to both of you.
I agree 100% were all in it together, when I was young I chased Bodybuilding alone, but now I make a point every time at the gym to complicate & learn from others and it has only increased my love & passion for the sport. You are an inspiration for this 56yr old man, hope this year to finally get below 15% now at 31% I'm getting there 4 years ago I was 42% slow but I'm getting better everyday I think the key is Diet! Not to discount training but all training and no diet is like a ship at sea without a destination. Thanks again
I've gotten into doing partial myself after doubting them for a long time, I figured, you know, maybe it'll work for me. Well now thanks to trying something new, upping the weight for my shoulders and doing partials, my shoulders are actually pumping up for the first time, in ever! Thanks John!
@@Christopher-Lenz What I found worked was from his vid called "The Perfect Shoulder Workout For Monster Delts." Heavier partials to start, then I throw a little Athlean X in where I lighten the load and do 1 & 1/2 reps (see vid titled "How to Get Bigger Shoulders (LIGHT WEIGHTS!)", which is going to the top, lowering to just before tension loss, then going back up to the top before finishing the rep. For the heavy partial part (like 20lbs for me) I go to failure (around 20 or so reps), then I crank out the lower 1 & 1/2's (8lbs) until I can't take the burn. I threw those in for side an rear delts in my routine and I'm actually seeing them start to get a bit more round after about a couple months when previously I hadn't been getting much change.
I rarely comment on videos, but can't watch yours and just pass by, great respect from morocco jhon, u are one of the few I can say the rarest that talks about volume tips for natural and enhanced with all clarity. before I used to do 4 5 sets 5 6 exercises adding drop sets etc.. I was literally killing my self as natural, after watching u talking about volume and intensity etc ... I've learned so much!! things. I don't know why you don't have 1M+ subs. Thanks for your efforts, informations, and your honesty. RESPECT !.
The hole destroy the muscle not the joints, and not going 100% intensity all the session made lots of sense. I love your approach and way of thinking when it comes to training, hands down one of the most knowledgeable people in this industry. Amazing content, and i have to say i really like Fouad's heart and intensity, and passion for this..
I have to admit, been subscribed to Fouad for few months now, never watched him in the gym..... his cooking and meal prep videos are outstanding! Really he has been crucial in me eating so well! Great video!
Can we please have a leg day with Fouad? You both are by far some of the hardest Leg-Day fanatics in the industry. The veteran knowledge coupled with the sheer brutality would make an awesome workout.
Wow. 2 of the greats doing a video together. Cool. Im not even a bodybuilder im just a regular guy that likes to stay in shape doing a 3 day a week routine. But I subscribe to both of their channels for workout and nutrition tips for what I'm trying to do. Sometimes I watch even when it's a video for a result im not interested in. Good stuff.
10:24 that's a homemade smith machine right there, that's so cool to see ... who ever would think of this particular exercise ? I know who would John would.
Love it! I follow barely a handful of youtube fitness channels , and both of you are in there. So watching you collaborate confirms to me that I made the right choice following the right people! Awesome (thumbs up!)
Awesome that you are honest and separate natural from enhanced. I’m natural so it explains the lengthy recovery from too much volume! I will adjust the volume and increase the intensity ! Thanks John!
Awesome stuff John. 2 of my favorite. Love fouad channel and all he has been doing. And always throughly enjoy everything you put out. Much respect to both of u from Massachusetts! Brian from Boston 💪🙏
Legitly been waiting for a video like this. I remember seeing these two training on TH-cam back in the day. Would be a dream workout out with one of these guys. I bet I’ll pick up so much knowledge like in the videos.
Holy shit, John! The quip about the old MuscleTech ads, and the pose had me rolling! I remember laughing at those ridiculous ads like 15 years ago, haven't thought about them since. Had a good nostalgic laugh at that.
Some guys go to “failure” on every set but actually they’re going 80-90 percent of failure. With your methodology I feel that you don’t go to failure until the last set but you actually end up going beyond failure on that last set. I liked that you said, taking your muscles too failure but not your joints! That’s the difference from how you do it than how most people do it. Better results with less collateral damage.

Fouad is a very cool dude, I know someone that knows him and he tells me Fouad is very down to earth.
also seems like a man of good humor
Fouad's content is great

Having a partner is nice cuz you can implement them forced reps, full rom and full burn
Oh yeah! I love them for side laterals. Just keep the weight moving until you can't raise your arm! Feels way better the cheating heavy weight up.
Yep. Knowledge.
Baby reps

welcome!
“There’s a difference in moving weight and contracting muscle” I’m about 10 months into my journey and I’m always blown away when I make a new connection.
Two of my favorite TH-cam bodybuilders 💯
I've been watching Fouad like crazy lately. He's been motivating me to get into the kitchen and try some things out. This collab feels tailored to me!
Same brother
Your pal Foaud seems like a really sound guy. Loved the between-sets talk about mindset, intensity, mind-muscle connection. Really helps me think about how I should be focusing mentally when training.
Fouad really seems like a genuine dude. Hard to find humbleness among bodybuilders.
The is the greatest crossover my god John and Fouad you've done it!
Conor Devlin they’ve done it before
Finally someone honest about natural and not natural. Great to hear you say you don't have a problem with either as long as you put in the work.
2 of my favorite content creators doing a collab? What a way to start off the weekend!
we got a back and arm workout as well
I can’t believe anyone would give this a thumbs down. John and Fouad are the sh!t. Together in the same video...priceless. I can’t think of a single time I’ve watched either of you and didn’t learn something.
2 of my favorite in the business. So grateful for this video
This was literally amazing seeing both of my favorites together in one video
I've never seen that wall press before. Looks like a Great movement and a sure way to get kicked outta my gym. Lol
Yessssss this is what I’ve been waiting for
I really liked: "annihilate the muscle without annihilating the joint"
Fouad is damn right, lots of them TH-cam fitness guys doesn't know the difference between partials & cheap reps but they've been training people for years. Partials to me is keeping the tension on the muscles...
Please, make more training episodes like this together with Mr. Fouad. The wall press was new to me.

Fouad is such a good dude. Great collab
“annihilate the Muscle without annihilating the joint” John Meadows
Great video👍🏼
My favorite 2 guys that I really listen and pay attention to everything they talked about🙌🙌
Two of the best people to learn from not just in bodybuilding but life all around!
John, I got the hugest complement in the gym yesterday. The person said your front and side shoulders look good but your rear felt is crazy huge!
Thank you John Meadows as I've been blasting my rear delta with pec machine and dumbells. Once again Thank you!!
BOOOM!
@@mountaindog1 From Downtown, hit it big with those rear delts, BABY.
No ego from Mr Meadows !!! Just pure straight up training knowledge during all of his videos !!! 👍💪love that wall barbell shoulder presses !
Two of the realist bodybuilders! Great to see you working through with Fouad John
You guys were great you can tell when ppl are genuine and these 2 are for sure.
These pros clearly look up to John and take his advice. This channel is gold.
Two of the most knowledgeable, humble men in the game!

Do you perform full ROM to failure first then partials like they did in this vid or just straight to partials and overload the weight?
