I’m sure you have plenty of good variety of calories over there. Juan mainly used cereal(full box or two), Five Guys(so you could sub another burger place), and 1-2 pints of ice cream with a full package of Oreos and chocolate sauce. You might feel sick that night BUT imagine the lifting session fueled by all those calories! You’ll make Jordan mad by beating all his lifts lol.
How often do you have to brush Spartacus? 1-2 times a day? Does that help keep from hair build up in the house or does that pile up no matter what?

Maybe you can jump on the Juel Morel 20k calorie day video challenge with how much you’re currently eating lol

Just received shirts and hoodies yesterday 🙂
Will order more on the next clothing order go round -
I assume you’re currently cutting?

Would love to see you in a podcast with Dr. Israetel. Like you said, you two have two very different approaches to training, so would be very interesting to hear talk between you two on the subject. I thought it was funny when Mike made a comment about nobody doing DC style training anymore and I was just thinking ‘oh, Jordan need to be given a mic right about now’.

Just have a simple pair of schiek wraps that has velcro around the wrist part. Zero issues with slipping. And on heavy deadlifts or rack pulls, I use chalk as well. If performing your rack pulls late in your workout, grip can still go even when using straps. Maybe shift rack pulls to earlier in the workout?

Agree with you Rotties. I’ll gladly take an inch of lean tissue on my arms within a years time at this point in my training career. When you get several years in, arms seriously take time to grow unless genetically gifted. Imo no amount of occlusion or pump training will get you bigger arms after you get past being a beginner. Jordans style really is the only one that makes since for growthing them(ie. progress your lifts in weight and multiple rep ranges and increase bodyweight).
I always feel like I have small arms even when my friends tell me they are jealous or I get certain compliments from strangers. It’s just as much mental as anything. i bet Luke at times thinks his arms are small lol

No doubt the training you and Jordan are doing is very physically demanding. Do you favor a full rest week or a deload? Or even changing your training for a couple weeks?
I hit PPL and then an upper/lower split very hard with Jordans style for about a 3-4 month period. Strength last week seemed to hit a wall as well as motivaiton. I figured a couple weeks of just working in the 10+ rep ranges and doing a bro split might be good for giving the body some rest while not getting de-trained. Also restore some motivation.

Jdh that’s quite the jump. I think I’m one bulking cycle or a years span like that, modest arm gains can be expected. I think those are just the most stubborn and it takes several years of that process to really get quality without having acceptional arm genetics or using SEO’s.

I wouldn’t say it’s a get stronger on just compounds approach that needs to be taken. Some isolation work is pretty much needed imo as well. Dips was just an example. So you guys so far have taken part of JP’s approach and added strength. Any of you significantly increase bodyweight as well in the process?
I’ve gone up about 40lbs and while arms get bigger as well as the rest of my body, arms really tend to show better when cutting the weight and dropping all that fat and water in the chest, stomach, and midsection. When those go down in size, you’ll see that your arms should be improved. Not sure you’ll notice much if you just gained 10-20lbs, but if you make a dramatic change and make a lot of strength gains in that process, it’s difficult not to build arms.
-
Increase calories and raise your bodyweight while continuing to get stronger. They will grow as your bodyweight and strength goes. This is granted your training is on point and you’re doing enough for arms(I think 2 tri’s and 2 bi’s per push/pull session).
Like JP said in one of his videos, you can’t rep 2 plates with weighted dips and not have big triceps

I’ll usually start with my heaviest load on the first set for both presses and lateral raises and then do a back off set which is a little lower in weight and try to hit more reps than I did in a previous session.
On lower day, I do biceps right away before I even start legs because I know at the end of the session I won’t want to do them. Squat and leg press is usually earlier in the workout and things like hamstring curls, leg extensions, hyper extensions, and stiff leg deadlifts are later in the workout. If you have weaker hamstrings that you want to develop, then look to do hamstring curls, hypers, and stiff leg deadlifts earlier in the workout and then do quads.

Jordan, how have your shoulders held up over the years? I haven’t seen you post a push workout for a little while here in the log – are you still doing heavy shoulder presses? My shoulders seem to take a serious beating from heavy shoulder pressing – to the point I think I either need to rotate them out of my workouts and focus on lateral raises or do mote moderate weights if I keep them in.
-
Here’s the type of setup I use and has been working great for me…..
Bench press variation – 1min rest – fly varaiation
Shoulder press variation – 1min rest – lateral raise variation
Tricep compound variation
Pull down variation
Deadlift/bent over barbell rows/rack pull
Pull Over variation
Tricep isolation
Rear delt variationBiceps are before legs on lower days

Everyone recovers at a different rate. You really have to test yourself. I know if I go for a PR on deadlifts or even somewhat heavy deadlifts, I feel like shit for 2-3 days. You can likely do both, but I’d do one early in the week and one late in the week so it doesn’t negatively affect your other lifts.
