I really cant beleve what am whatching. First of all, i am aware that am gonna sound like a hater, wich am not, but are you real
Sam is doing his training like he wants to. I never heard him say, oh guys do what i do, this is the best science based training. He does what he likes to and looks like he wants to, same as you. What is obvious is that his training works for him, and also he is got plenty of benefits by doing that.
One main thing that i want to point is that he is also not selling any training programs or anything like that(like you, so you cant say that he is making money by selling wrong stuff to people.
So who are you to criticize his training Ok you have your opinion i agree, but you are telling us whats wrong in his training and so on. Again that style if training is giving him resoults, so why is wrong Its wrong by your opinion and that i think is what you need to point much more times in this video.
You say that this or that he need to do diffrend. Why would he I mean if he wants to do it he will do it, right He is not teaching me to do like that, and selling me programs by that topic.

I don't buy how much fitness people preach about how important progressive overload really is. Doing the same amount of weight and reps for some length of time does not mean the muscles aren't getting sufficiently stimulated. While yes, it's obvious that if EVENTUALLY over time you aren't able to add more reps or load, you aren't getting any stronger or bigger, but the focus on a need to do a tiny bit more each session I think for the most part is a farce (despite the fact that I indeed still practice that myself, but that doesn't mean I think it's therefore necessary) It's all predicated on the assumption that there is only like this tiny very specific range of weight reps and sets needed to stimulate muscle growth, but that can't possibly be right. The muscles either are or are not getting sufficiently stimulated, and the idea that someone can perform an exercise to failure and yet they supposedly didn't stimulate any muscle growth because that happened to be the same amount they did last week seems nonsensical

One thing I've learned about Sam's videos, is that he doesn't put his entire workout on video. For example I didn't think he was doing warm-ups at all, just diving into heavy weights but he actually does the proper pyramid that doesn't make the cut.
Next you said he doesn't do calves all that much and he just said in a recent video that he does them at least every second day.
One other thing I notice, I haven't seen Sam do any static stretches which I love to do in between sets.
I think Sam's videos could be better if he could put more of his workout into the video, and remove most of the car talk business. I know some of those inspirational talks are great but after a while it starts to get repetitive. And we feel compelled to watch it all because we think we might miss something.
Anyway, great critique of Sam's workouts. Overall what you said makes sense.

I found that lots people are hesitant to question his techniques because he is too famous and has a good muscle size, but clearly to me he has built himself not looking atheletic anymore. Form follows function, when you are stingy with your movement, you are squeezing all your muscle into a meat ball if you still can gain. I was previously half a sprinter, and can tell who has a better mobility from their muscle shape, and most people in the gym nowadays doesnt have that symmetry due to lack of compound execises.

So many comments here try to take away from jeff's achievements by talking about size difference. Sam is taking colossal amounts of steroids and is blessed by amazing genetics, Jeff is natty (may not always have been but presumably is currently. Sam could literally lay flat on the ground in the gym and he could be making more muscle from that and diet than a natty person at the gym does, stop comparing size as some sort of empirical measurement of skill and technique

Awesome video as always! Wish they were more frequent, but that might degrade the quality, so I'm good.
Sam's definitely an interesting and still trending topic in the fitness/bodybuilding community. My only concern was those couple of injuries he had almost back-to-back. Everything else seems to work just fine for him. Nevertheless, this video is super interesting and can help beginners learn a lot and make the most gains!

Full range of motion doesn’t engage muscle as much as you think it does. What really does is time under tension. Which for me after 2 or 3 sets of full range, you can cheat for another set or 2 and maybe even a burnout. Personally That’s when I started making some serious gains. Being strict on form kept me lean, but I also looked boney,
After adding cheat sets to my workouts I look fuller and even maintained weight, 175lbs.

A friend and I once started gyming at the same time, 8 months later I was jacked (relatively speaking) and he had barely gained any muscle at all, just lost a good amount of fat. We trained together so he didn't miss workouts. He just didn't push himself, he didn't bring any intensity, and no matter how hard I tried to convince him he was happy to just continue missing out on gains by not pushing himself a little bit harder.

I disagree with sets to muscle size ratio. Side delt is a small muscle but you can train it with lot of volume and more frequently due to its stubbornness. 3 sets of rope arm extensions are incomparable to 3 sets of heel elevated narrow stance high bar squats. I don't get sore from 5 sets of biceps, and it is a very small muscle, but i would get sore for 4 days from 1 set of heavy calve raises

I look at him and I just don't know how sustainable it is. Part of what has helped me stay fit into my 40s, is attention to detail: controlling the movement, getting that stretch, and not ego lifting. I feel like ego lifting, at some point, gets people injured. I don't have any science to back that up, but just some of my thoughts. I think he's obviously doing something right though.

bro never do preacher curls fully stretched out, i partially tore my bicep doing them with a weight i could do 20 reps with! its tore at the bottom of the movement, the exercise no matter what people think is a risky exercise, its just not worth the risk. I had to take 6 months off and it took me a yr and half to regain bicep strength and back strength, especially pull up strength

Everyone trying to piggyback off of Sam’s name to create content that’s just fukkking sad. dude your not even in the same ball park as Sam and if you was ever going to be it would have already happened. but here you are trying to convince yourself that your smart with your science bs. well what you have accomplished is now your just another guy that I lost all respect for.

Jeff, how could you watch so many hours of another man working out
That shyt is gay man, I mean come on.
That many several friggin hours of watching another man exercise
And you even created a spreadsheet to measure your gayness
I suggest you watch some Jordan Peterson videos ASAP and get yourself corrected!

Progressive overload and his exercise choices (as long as it fits his preferences) don’t really matter much given his training to failure. You can’t adjust his progression past failure (because he’s already there at the end of his sets, especially since he focuses on the other important variables (sleep, diet, etc)

But can’t I still do progressive overload in many different exercise variations when I note down every weight and reps
For example one day I’ll do Barbell bench and another day I’ll do smith bench - I noted the reps and weight from both exercises last time to know how much it takes to increase overload.

With my legs I cann alrady do like 4 plates squating on each side, 6 plates inclne leg press, decline press etc, I guess I could keep adding more and more weght but I dont really see the point. I am already better then 90% everyone else at the gym at least with my legs ad its only been 6 months.

I always feel like Sam doesnt stretch/doesnt do mobility training and that in combinatiom with doing alot of machines and very little stabilisation exercises. At his level of pressure he puts his body through a workout, would this higher the chance on injuries jeffnippard

so. correct me if i'm wrong please. the junk volume part. if i did chest press for 3 sets of 10 reps a cable fly for 3 sets of 10 reps a dumbbell pull over for 3 sets of 10. being 9 sets and 90 reps, one of those 1 set of 10's is just junk volume and wasted
