When you do better, you need less⁣
⁣
When you pick better exercises for your structure, you need less⁣
⁣
When you improve exercise setup and execution, you need less⁣
⁣
When you use tempos that match your goals, you need less⁣
⁣
When you actually freaking get close enough to failure...⁣
⁣
When you actually focus on the QUALITY...⁣
⁣
You need less⁣
⁣
Show me someone training 6x/wk super high volumes and I'll show you someone who can probably work on the above⁣
⁣
I'm not saying it's a race to see how little you can do and still make gains⁣
⁣
I'm just saying if you're out there trying to just do "more" before really learning how to optimize the quality of what you're actually doing...⁣
⁣
There's a cart➡️horse moment⁣

❤️ Love you

I’m all for progressive overload⁣ ⁣ But beat

I’m all for progressive overload⁣
⁣
But beating your reps on barbell rows from last week because you broke good technique and started humping the air for the last 5 reps ain’t it 😂⁣
⁣
Just a reminder⁣
⁣
Keep your standards high⁣
⁣
Push to do more over time…⁣
⁣
But don’t fool yourself😉⁣
⁣
Love you❤️

🎙WOMP ep. 64: Q&A⁣
⁣
"When are my newbie gains done? When do you think it's not super practical to expect muscle growth at maintenance"⁣
⁣
And before we start...you absolutely do NOT have to wait until this time happens before utilizing a surplus⁣
⁣
Whether you're still a "newbie" or not doesn't dictate if you can use a surplus or not⁣
⁣
You will ALWAYS maximize muscle growth in a surplus and if that's your main goal...don't wait until you can't make gains at maintenance to pull that trigger⁣
⁣
Ok ok back to the main point⁣
⁣
There's no exact timeline for when this happens⁣
⁣
You don't wake up one day with a text from the gain gods saying⁣
⁣
"Hope you enjoyed your newbie gains, get ready for the hard shit!"⁣
⁣
It's not that black and white.⁣
⁣
You probably need something like 2-3 years of lifting with proper technique, programming, execution, intensity...⁣
⁣
AND have spent that time OUT of a deficit with enough protein⁣
⁣
to get to a point where continuing to lift at maintenance probably won't yield much growth anymore⁣
⁣
The irony is there are people who have been "exercising" for decade(s) and don't meet that criteria⁣
⁣
The good news: Lots of you reading this have plenty of knobs to turn to get great muscle growth that doesn't even involve a surplus⁣
⁣
Get on a proper, individualized hypertrophy-focused plan with good exercise selection, volume, and actually working your ass off close to failure⁣
⁣
Consistently hit your protein @ >.8g/lb and stay out of a deficit for...a...long time lol⁣
Sleep 7-9 hours⁣
⁣
Maybe up your carb intake⁣
⁣
There will come a time where continuing to hope for gains at maintenance is a pretty big waste of time...⁣
⁣
You WILL get to a point where if you want more muscle you'll need the most powerful tool:⁣
⁣
A calorie surplus⁣
⁣
I'm just saying if you've been dicking around you probably have more recomp gains available than you think⁣
⁣
❤️ Love you

Hip thrust vs. Glute bridge⁣ ⁣ I know it might

Hip thrust vs. Glute bridge⁣
⁣
I know it might seem like nit picking⁣
and the truth is, these will both work your glutes⁣
⁣
Buttttt it's hard to ignore that there are some differences and in the world of booty gains, we take all the nuance we can get⁣
⁣
ANNNND for those of you training at home, it's a reminder that we can sometimes get a different exercises out of the same setup by changing tempo, ROM, and intent⁣
⁣
TLDR: the glute bridge is a hip thrust with less ROM to isolate glutes in hip extension and a more controlled tempo on the concentric to ensure the exercise overloads the glutes in their shortened position⁣
⁣
❤️ Love you

Honest question:⁣ ⁣ When is the last time you

Honest question:⁣
⁣
When is the last time you went an entire year without trying to lose weight?⁣
⁣
Just lifting hard, fueling your body + building muscle with enough protein and calories⁣
⁣
What about 6 months?⁣
⁣
4?⁣
⁣
"BUT JORDAN RECOMP HAPPENS SO SLOWLY"⁣
⁣
😅⁣
⁣
Yes, the more trained you are the slower you'll see changes at maintenance⁣
⁣
Absolutely⁣
⁣
But...⁣
⁣
If you've never spent a year lifting for hypertrophy and fueling intelligently out of a deficit⁣
⁣
My guess is you're not trained enough to have to worry about the woes of slow recomp⁣
⁣
Seriously⁣
⁣
If you're always in and out of a deficit⁣
⁣
You have more recomp-ability than you think⁣
⁣
I love talking about the benefits of gaining phases⁣
⁣
But how about we just start with 6 months of not trying to lose weight?⁣
⁣
❤️ Love you
