When you train, train hard for 5 sets. Amrap.
When you recover train again.
Increase healthy caloric intake to bust through plateaus.
Don't believe in pre disposed rest days per week. Try to train the very next day if the pain is not too much. If performance isn't back to baseline, which will be known by doing the first set. Then skip any further sets on that day, train tomorrow, and follow this cue.
Believe that building muscle is a combination of providing the body enough healthy calories on a consistent basis and causing microtrauma repeatedly -without staying below previously established baseline for too long. - In other words, recovery must be let to happen.
And on your rest days you may grease the groove with pressing and pulling movements (GTG does not work for any more than 2-3 movements btw) but that's it. And btw GTG is basically doing 5-8 very easy sets. Meaning you don't feel muscular fatigue on any of those sets whatsoever. How many sets you can do will depend on your recovery demands so even if it's 2 sets no problem. It still works.

Damn, I followed Jeff for a couple of years but his videos started to get a little stale. I had no idea about the allegations since I don't follow him much anymore. The fake weights don't really bother me, crossfitters have been doing that since it's inception or at least they make light weight plates in much larger sizes to make it look like they are lifting heavier than they really are. I do think he should disclosed that info as I do think it's OK to go lighter to get a complex movement correct or atleast make sure you aren't going to injure yourself. He could have easily done this without anyone questioning his reasoning or teaching. The steroid thing though is a big deal if true. Claiming to be natural while taking gear to achieve body fat percentages below 5% and claiming its your brand of training and diet is wrong. I have been following Ryan for a while now because quite honestly I prefer the smaller videos and how he gets right to the point. Plus, no homo, I think he looks how most guys would love to look. Dude looks like freaking Superman.

I had problems squatting for years, i had a friend who was a powerlifter introduce me to a foam rolller and hip, wrist and shoulder flexability, just rolling on the hips 30 sec each side a day to start made a huge difference, i also flexing the core plays a major factor in ur ability to squat deep while performing a rep. now i can front squat easily and backsquat extra low. ps i also tried the jefferson squat for the first time thanx to this guy and now im hitting the parts of my legs ive never hit for the first time. I NOW BELIEVE THIS TO B MY BEST LEG EXERCISE----

It was the other way around for me. 10 years ago I was a skinny kid and the bodybuilder magazines were full of isolation stuff and machine exercises. It wasn't until I got into strength training that the mass came on. Overhead press, bench press, pullups, low bar squats and deadlifts. Once I focused on getting stronger in these I put on weight big time. I ate a lot though to support the training, I mean a lot of food. I went from 83kg to 117kg at 6ft 3ins.

hi mate just wondering if you give your advice based on how you train and is gym the only thing you do. the reason is that if after a workout your legs are shattered and you feel the tension on every muscle fibre for the next two days, then clearly this would prevent you to wrestle or box. from the videos it is evident that your physique is solid but would you say it is functional? and can you fight / or if necessary run away from trouble?

The order of exercises can impact effect too. For example, if squats aren't as effective for you, do the effective ones first to fatigue the muscles, then do the right variation of the squat that works.
For me lunges are the ones that bet me. The Bulgarian squat destroys me. I don't like the exercise because I don't feel like get the depth and my back foot position is difficult to get comfortable, but it sure does get me.

When you think about it it all comes down to the mind muscle connection in the end. Don't throw away an exercise after trying it once, the mind muscle connection is something that you need to grow and will keep getting better over years of training. With that being said, try different exercises too see what hits you the best. As long as you have a balanced workout routine you will be fine.

Jeff's weights was hilarious. I also loved that you love exercises other than the squat. Not that the squat isnt great, it is. but like you, I love hack squats. I love a lot different machine squats, I love Leg press. and maybe now I can come out of the closet as a leg exttension lover. There, I said it. Leg ext is a great exercise no matter what anyone says. Great video

I think what Ryan is saying is very underrated. I appreciate this so much as a former skinny guy. There-s something about going hard on those exercises that you love and sometimes if you give yourself some time, those exercises that you don-t like will start to grow on you. It-s just about having patience and staying in your own lane.

What's you rep and set range look like on average? I know you do alot of high rep sets but do you have weeks where you do less reps and higher weight? I'm trying to understand the whole, progressive overload. You can't progressively overload your muscle each week other wise you'd be lifting tractor trailers after 10 years.
