Okay, welcome everyone to a new episode of the Jeff Nippard podcast. In this episode, I'm speaking with

0:04.5

IFPB Pro John Meadows, and we're going to be talking about how hard it is we should be training in the gym.

0:10.1

Now, this is going to be part two of a five-part podcast series that I'm doing on this exact question.

0:15.3

And I should say that when I set out to do this, I had originally just planned to get, you know, a three, maybe four or five

0:21.7

minute answer from each of the experts that I interviewed and kind of compile their answers for a

0:26.8

YouTube video. But after each of these calls had started, I just couldn't help but ask some

0:31.4

follow-up questions and realize that to really have each expert do this topic, any justice at all, I would have to ask some follow-up

0:40.1

questions and kind of dig into the details a little bit more. So what I decided I'd do is after I

0:45.1

released that YouTube video, which I'll link down below, I would just do a full-blown interview

with each of these guests and release them separately here on my podcast. So no doubt this will

1:02.4

slightly different slant to this topic, and I picked these guests specifically because I knew that

1:08.5

they would disagree or at least offer different opinions on

1:12.4

some of the details. So I think that you guys will find it interesting. And I think as you'll

1:16.2

also see, we don't only stick to the topic of how hard you should train. We also kind of

1:21.3

touch on the peripheral issues as well, which I find equally interesting and informative.

1:25.9

So without further ado, I give you guys IFBB Pro John Meadows.

1:31.3

So John, how hard should we be training in the gym?

1:35.3

How hard should we be training in the gym?

1:39.3

I think everybody should do like 50 drop sets a week,

1:43.3

25 sets of ISO holds after the drop set, 32 cluster
