  • What is the ideal rest time, between sets, to build muscle (hypertrophy) and what is idea for building strength? Check out this episode of Advanced Training Techniques where we break down some of the basic science of how much rest and why. I'll then share with you my tips on how I incorporate this information into my own training.

    James, just wanted to thank you for being the most humble & down to earth trainer I've ever seen.
    Alot of us "average Joe's" tend to "beat ourselves up" out of frustration but you remind us that it's never a straight line from point A to B. Sometimes you feel like dieing, and then you feel reborn. That's the beauty of staying committed & being consistent with training & life in general.
    I love everything you do, brother.

    James, I hope you read these comments.
    First I wanted to thank you for the ATT videos. Specifically how you addressed the "why" behind them. I've re-watched a few of the videos and feel more confident in what I am doing in the gym. keep them comimg!
    Second item I wanted to address is how your presence and delivery in these videos relates to your products. I was not a BPI customer prior to watching your channel. I have now subscribed and made my first purchase. So great job. Sometimes it's good to hear that.
    Finally i wanted to comment on my first purchase. What a unique touch in wrapping your products in tissue paper! I had genuine excitement opening up and trying everything. I will be buying again from the BPI site. great job!

    Great video. No nonsense. No young buck bragging about himself. Simple and direct. Now if I can just figure out why some weeks I can start to see my abs, then other weeks my midsection looks fat. I don't drink alcohol, eat junk food, sodas, beer, pizza, breads, etc. I normally have water or juice with my meals so I am pretty careful with diet.

      I second this because I did the 20/10/10/15 for about 3 months and then recently got a bit tired of doing that so I've been playing with my sets/reps. Might make the move back to 20/10/10/15 soon because my workouts have been less organized since I stopped.

      I'd like to have video about "How much reps in TOTAL per week (or per workout) for big / small muscle groups. Itwill help with SETS too.

    @MD-mm1zv Před 5 lety

    Just discovered your stuff tonight, and I’m impressed.
    Excellent layout, especially band workouts. I’ve ordered some from Rogue, and I hope they hold up. I have a pretty good home gym, and also have a gym membership.
    Your points about “strong nervous systems” appears spot on. I have found very notable development quickly using relatively lower weight in each muscle zone, with 15-20 reps and 5-6 sets each. I find slowing down, and concentrating on the movement, rather than the weight makes a big difference.
    Another thing you touched on, which I think isn’t stressed enough is stretching between sets. We’re compressing muscle under load. What better way to prepare for a next set, than to gently stretch it out first.
    Very relaxing too, and reduces the chance of injury during ordinary activity too.
    One more thing that I’m told weight training is excellent for, and that is strengthening our skeleton. Especially as we age, strengthening our bones is a big deal.
    Look forward to more great videos, and keep up the good work!

    30-60 seconds is what I do for resting between sets. I did just switch from 8-12 reps 3 sets to James 20/10/10/15 reps and for sets. hopefully this will bust me out of my 2 month plato on size growth.
