I agree genetics does help and your right massive and i mean massive amounts of drugs help I'm not talking about these BS posted cycle of 8 weeks of test and deca. I'm talking about 24 weeks of 10 different drugs and then some. Training next, then diet and metabolism too is genetics some guys eat like shit and still manage to grow..
What I like about John meadows is not that it some fad but it what we already use and fine tunes it, there is absolutely nothing mind blowing about his programs other than, sequence, intensity and making it work for you. As I stated if it was about the basics we would just stick to compound movements and we would be huge.. But I know and many other agree after 20'years of lifting hows that going? Right not seeing the growth we would like... That's why I recommend you read up on him, he's just stating the obvious maximum contraction, slow reps to tear down muscle, increase intensity, he just puts it together in a concept that really makes sense and works I don't see this as a fad but rather a guy like me and you with average genetics making himself grow... I tell you one more thing to really work his program makes you realize all the other stuff you been has been low intensity and not lazer like focus on each muscle group, and not dedicated period. Obviously, we all like certain training styles whether they are comfortable for us is different than if they work, we tend to do things that are easy (how many times you go tomthe gym and your like screw it just the old routine is fine, If you start to change that you will see change in you size and training. Sure doing bench at the start of your routine seems like what everyone does right but do it after you do dumbell incline and high volume decline add flies add some chin ups then do bench on your last excersises and don't worry I'll be there to spot you when you can't even bench 135.... I'm not into gurus either but I think good common sense training making you rethink your own training ands give you the best gains you have had in years... Now don't get me wrong dont wanna pay this guy $2500 for his entire program hell no but I'll take all his free stuff for now... At some point I may pony up and pay, because think of all the countless hours and research of training that produced little results you have done what's that worth to you over the years right and how many guys blame the gear, claiming gear sucked and they didn't get the results they wanted sometimes its not the gear it's you, we all need to own up to take responsibility for our lack of good training and dedication. If this sounds like to much for you then quit gear and start crossfit or maybe yoga you sissy this may be your speed not mine. So I don't really like when random douche bags make just bad blanket statements about things being old and new again I just like to be a progressive thinker.
I now am getting of my soap box thank you for listening to my bs.
