That’s right. I said yoga for bodybuilders. You can think what you want, but definitely don’t talk trash until you’ve tried it. It’s brutal, I’d rather hit a set of 600 lb deadlifts than try to accomplish some of the shit they do in these classes. I’m serious about my physique goals, and I could …
So why is John Doe such a big fan of old school bodybuilders, you may ask? Well, I’m interested in the old school for a number of reasons. 1. Guys trained harder 2. Pics were taken of them because their physiques were deserving of it. They didn’t take a bunch of selfies and plaster it …
I talk a lot about dieting here, I know this. The fact that I talk about dieting more than training or steroids is because of the fact that diet is really 90% of the equation. Steroids are overrated, most supplements are hype, and when you see a guy with rock hard muscles, good aesthetics and …
It’s 4:55 AM and my alarm clock goes off. I keep it away from my bed on a dresser so I have no choice but to get up to turn it off. I stumble to the dresser and hit snooze. 5 minutes later it goes off again and I grab my phone and lay there …
I gotta be honest here with you fellas, I’m fucking beat up. I haven’t slept more than 4 hours a night in the past 9 days now, and I’m training hard as hell and dieting tight. Today was about my breaking point. I couldn’t be around people, I am irritable, and I needed some sort …
I can look back on bodybuilding and how much fun it was in the beginning. I was gaining so quick and learning so much, and I was also gaining a new self respect and confidence too. I think cheat meals were a little more frequent too. It was typically 2 cheat meals a week and …
As some of you have already picked up on, johndoebodybuilding.com isn’t just about muscles, it’s about life. If you’re anything like me, then muscles are not just your main focus of life. They are a foundation that keeps you grounded and something to build off of into other areas of life. I often think about …
Some of the best athletes in the world are people who came from the gutter. Like it or not, right now there is some guy training in his garage that is 10 times more yoked than you, and he only has a few dumbbells and a squat rack. Maybe he doesn’t even have weights, it …
One common mistake almost all bodybuilders make at one time or another is they over-complicate things. We constantly question ourselves, look for a better routine, a better supplement, or add more volume to our workouts in desperate attempts to further progress. But sometimes the best results come from simplicity. I’ve learned that the best routine …
I’m old school, through and through! My ideal look is that of 1970’s Mike Mentzer. I care nothing about looking like the next Mr. Olympia, nor am I going to put my body through all of the drugs and bullshit it takes to even try. Of course anabolics are part of the game. I believe there …
