Word. Like everyone else in this thread I just discovered John and wish I'd discovered him earlier. What a nice guy, freely giving of his knowledge. If the internet/TH-cam is good for anything, it's preserving the legacy of great people. Show 'em how it's done pal. RIP.
Absolute quality. No "Yo.. what's up nation!?!?" shouting and whooping bullshit. Training for those who actually think about their training. Great tendinitis tips as well. Great stuff. Thanks.
Jerry Ward Actually it's usually fucking annoying young white blokes who just come across as gibbering fuckwits. Colour didn't come into my thinking but if you want to be obsessed and shout about it... Crack on.
Athlean x has a motto that has always stuck with me leave your ego at the door. Because it’s not always about how much you can lift! It’s all about the contraction
It’s great to hear a guy with an eye towards joint health and longevity. So many guys on yt act as if it’s not even a concern; I can tell you that at 43 it’s definitely a concern! Great content! Thanks for posting!
I love how John and Mary worked out together. I know you can’t necessarily tell what a person is really like watching them in a video but John always came across as such a genuine, kind man with no pretensions and I bet that’s exactly who he was. Thank you for keeping John with us through his videos 🙏
Yep Preacher for that lower Bicep stretch!! Less sets - heal faster - train it more often - feed it .. grow ..for smaller body parts. Less injury, feel better, etc..
I like all of your exercises, I really appreciate the fact that you do not have to use heavy weights. I am a senior man and I love doing weights but I do not want any injuries. Thank you have a wonderful day sir.
Jeesh. Life sure as hell isn't fair. It hurts in my chest the tragic loss for that family. Beautiful wife with great kids. He was blessed. The most unpretentious personality on yt that did for others selflessly. Thanks again John and RIP brother.
John, I’ve been stuck for 25 years with the same arm size. I completely changed my workouts around this video and have put a solid inch on them in 6 weeks. The workouts take all I can give, but the results have been worth it.
As someone closer to this age I appreciate the repeated tips on not stressing the elbows- or any other joints for that matter. Plus the high ez bar curls were a big favorite of Eddie Robinson who had massive biceps. These videos are great for developing a good foundation of building muscle without any short cuts. Well done!
I've been weight training now for at least 4 months.....Im only now starting to 'feel' a huge difference in my general strength and wellbeing.... Thanks for these tips dude.... I'm 40 yrs old and a beginner....
@@Coleman11900 you are talking rubbish I have lifted weights for over 25 years now and it's impossible to see gains that soon , muscle fibres will only be awakened after a month the growth needed to be visibly noticeable albeit slightly noticeable is gained after about 8 months proper proper training
I love that your wife is there spending time with you while you share your passion for bodybuilding with us. What a great relationship both of you have! Cheers and thank you for all the high quality content you provide, I'm skinny but I'm making some gains!!
Just found your videos. Amazing advice for a guy that's been out for 25 yrs, and disabled. Arms, chest, shoulder are all I can work. Keep up amazing videos, and yes liked and subscribed.
I was told for years “want big arms got to barbell curl” all it did was screw my wrist and elbows up and my biceps did not grow. All I use now is dumbbells and bands and arms are growing now. Fill em with blood and they’ll grow! Great tip man. Love your channel.
Being 47, I can really appreciate advice that will protect my joints. I tried some of these things with the progression in mind and my elbows felt great. Thanks. Great video.
Man oh man, came back to lifting after a years break and I've been blessed with your videos. Been watching your channel nonstop for 3 hours now and learned so much, thank you for making videos man!
You are the coach of the century, great articulated instructions to perform exercises and techniques. Your background and how you overcome it and your current status is truly inspirational, Thanks heaps John.
This is some great quality stuff right here. I’m great full to all body builders who spend time trying to teach us more about being healthy and working out but this is on another level! This contains wisdom and experience and that’s something not many other you tubers bring to the table. Thank you mountain dog !
For Reals, John was an honest, kind, informative, gym coordinator!!! I've seen him work with all sorts of pro body builders!!! He has passed away since. God bless your humility, care, big John
I love listening to your advice on how to properly train your biceps. I developed tendinitis so early. I've finally got to a point where my arms don't hurt anymore, thank God, so now I'm applying your advice to my training. I can't wait to grow my biceps! Thank you!
Hi John , thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge .These are nice combinations and I do appreciate the precious comments coming with . God bless you man , my next arms training programm will look like this 🙂 👍.
My arms grew 2 inches in 2 months (without a pump and at a lower body fat ratio then I was at before I started) following John's arms training style so I can vouch for that they give you such a good pump and stretch like I have never had before and even the sequence it's done in makes such a difference. I'm into 8 months or so into my training so it may be some of my newbie's gains fueling my arms too but I can tell that they helped me greatly and I almost follow all of his exercises for all of my training splits and everything has improved just drastically.
John, Thank you Thank you Thank you... I have been doing this routine for the past several months. At age 63, my arms look the best they ever have. And NO Joint PAIN.... Prior to this I was doing another TH-cam routine with supposed "scientific backing". Well it tore the heck out of my elbows. Thank again and blessings to you!!!
Love your workout videos. Your explanation on each exercise is really good. The bench dip I have not done. Our gym has a assisted dip machine I plan on using. I usually take 2 days off between workouts. Probably because I am 77. I wrote down your workout session and look forward to using it. I also am doing your rear deltoid exercise with dumbbells along with side raises. Starting to see shoulder definition after 6 months. Thanks to you my rear delts are now getting attention. Taking Whey protein and 3 grams of creatine monohydrate. Diet: fish, steak, chicken, eggs, good carb veggies, etc. Peanut butter or can of tuna are great to snack on.
Thanks for such motivation and the great videos. 50 year old guy here, been out of the routine for more than several years, but recently I got my chunky butt back in the gym and im reclaiming my body back.
Thanks John for your tips on the biceps triceps workout. Im 62' short at 5'6"210' was at 19" arms now after 8 months 22half inches on my arms. Just only problem is finding shirts that fit my arms but can live with it. Thanks again John and many Blessings from Don V. Austin,Tx💪👍
This are awesome Gems. I see a lot of video's with NO regard for joint safety. I like his video's, he's down to earth, nothing to prove. Thank You for this Video.
Love these videos. So easy & safe for us older guys. Tips on Tendinitis & so on excellent, & training with Mary is so good. Your training will live on through all of us watching your video’s.
Just discovered your videos. Awesome!! I've been out of the gym for 20 years. Glad to be back. Slow growing. Its nice to see that you comment to all of us. Doesn't happen often on the tube. Great advise. Thanks
THANK YOU for the tendonitis reference. Nobody ever covers that. I've been battling it for a long time now in both elbows back and forth. I've essentially HAD to lower the weight due to that. Makes chest flys almost impossible. (Medial Epicondylitis). Knowing now that lower weight will work makes me feel much better. John is KING!!!
I love watching your videos,you are very down to earth with zero ego ...your physique is beyond outstanding especially ur anterior tibialis and calves .i have downloaded ur app also looking forward for more benificial knowledge in 2020 . Thank You Love From India 🇮🇳 Much Regards
I've been lifting for a long time and I appreciate your videos! My tendonitis kills my elbows due to years of heavy lifting. Your tips are awesome, thanks.
Great workout, been doing it for 3 weeks i can already see some results. Loving your videos, may you rest in peace. Your legacy here survives you and does good. Thank you.
GREAT Formula Coach! I never thought about that stretch the joints at the END of the Arm Assault to prevent Tendon injuries. Makes TOTAL SENSE!!! Wow Coach you are the BEST!
Found your channel not to long ago I love the content really helping me not only change my workout routine but giving me and understanding behind key mechanics of certain exercises GREAT CONTENT!
Hey John - Thanks for all your videos and instruction. It has really changed the way I workout specially with all the elbow health you have put into your videos. I work out by myself and was hoping you could do some solo work out routines for each muscle without a spotter. Thanks again!
It reenforces all the training methods I used in “the day”. I’m back getting great results again at 53. Best video selection for a real workout and real results on the Internet. Follow the instructions, and you’ll be free of injury and enjoy the results you get.
My absolute favorite arm workout! I got away from trying to go as heavy as I can and changed to John’s method here, I’ve gained an easy couple inches in my arms!
Almost every time you see people doing curls they're lifting way too heavy. Zero negative, and a ton of swinging. I'm all for a little body English on maybe the last few reps of your last set, but 95% of your reps should be clean. Great advice as always. I'm going to try out that first tricep exercise.
Your workouts are amazing and lots of people have already mentioned it but Ill say it again that i learn something new about training every time i watch your videos ! One of the best coaches around and not to mention you are in mad shape yourself.BIG up MD !
Great job John. I'm from Mississippi. Originally from Cincinnati. You have given me some Great Pointers. I'm 66. Guys at the Gym call me Chief. They are much Younger than me. But that I Motivates them. Thanks again John.
well it took me around 2 years to build 18 but that was a fat arm :D now am 8-10% bodyfat year round and its aroun 18-18-5`(5 years training so far) depending on water,carb and sodium intake.But what got me the 18` was volume and form(its very important that u initiate first with the working muscle,example someone with strong delts and weak arms first they activate their delts then they start bending the elbow,its so obvious) so watch some ben pakulski videos about form etc. and go watch some videos from layne norton about volume(u dont want to get into a trap and start doing 40 sets for biceps) hope this helps and good luck
Thanks for the info. So on the way for 18" did you concentrate on curling heavy weight? or curling moderate weight for high reps? Right now I am only concentrating on increasing weight and do 50 Kg barbell curl with rod weight about 5-6 clean reps and 20 KG dumbbell for 6-8 reps. If you tell me your curl weight or routine that will be also helpful.
John love the way you approach training.. Am also a older guy and i learn alot from your videos (like not the weight all the time but how you do your exercise).. Thx for that here from Denmark 🙏🇩🇰❤️
Gaining mass requires drive motivation setting small achievable short term goals leading to the long term. Getting stacked as a tank don't happen over night. One of the main keys is you gotta eat right and eat like 5 times or more a day to as well and hydrate with water. Supplement properly protein carbs good fats and calories and you'll get there.

On the preacher touching forehead, it looks like front delta are doing most work, not iceallaitin the bicep ? Any thoughts on that

Right now I am only concentrating on increasing weight and do 50 Kg barbell curl with rod weight about 5-6 clean reps and 20 KG dumbbell for 6-8 reps. If you tell me your curl weight or routine that will be also helpful.

I can never watch one of these videos all the way to the end……I get so inspired I want to get into the gym and try out whatever he’s showing us !
