This is great information! I recently discovered your channel and have learned so much already! Is there ever a time to not do a full body workout? Or do you do this every day?
This makes a lot of sense. In fact, pretty much everything you say makes a lot of sense. I am glad I found your channel because there are tons of things I can learn here.
This is a very interesting area for me and you've given me a lot of food for thought here. Slightly off topic, for tracking one's progress and also to be able to plan ahead to design a good long term workout plan – is there any software that you use or find of benefit, that you'd recommend? I'm thinking more of some sort of planning software, perhaps even a calendering or spreadsheet program, rather than something used in the gym to keep track of weights used and reps, etc.
I would love to see a more beginner/intermediate friendly gym approach for actually building an exercise protocol from the ground up. I am not new to the gym, but I have been somebody who did 5×5 Stronglifts app for results previously and then if I wasn't doing that I would just pick and choose without a specific structure to my lifts or body parts on a given day. Now I am a dad with a wife, two kids and a job who would love to just stay in healthy shape with 2-3 intense 30-45 minute workouts a week to really maximize the effectiveness of the little time I have to get to the gym. I know that nutrition is the primary catalyst to weight loss, but being in physical shape is something that can benefit everybody in the long term as long as we allow our bodies enough rest without destroying them in the process of getting them healthy for long term growth and care.
Strength VS Hypertrophy Know which one you are trying to boost. When you alter your training to allow both to grow with an optimum growth factor. Nervous system building first than muscle skeletal system. Intuitively you will know which one is lacking. Most of the time it is nervous system is lacking, but sometimes people never go to hypertrophy which is using only 70-80% for 12-15 reps. They just eat way to much food and get fat. Fat on your body, does not make you stronger.
Hello I take over 2 hours for full body workout and in accord to your method I should do it everyday. How you can do a full body workout in 30 or 40 minutes? Perhaps I am to green to understand your video and maybe you can address me with another video if you have one already made. Thank you for your advises and I really like your way to teach things to people.
Thomas, I workout 6 days a week: 3 days weight training and 3 days running. On two of my running days I only run 5 miles with the focus being time and pace, and on the third day I run anywhere from 8-12, focusing on distance. Is it possible to get the benefits of the approach you described on just the 3 days I devote to weight training? Or do I need to add the approach you described on top of my running on those days where I have already allotted for running?
Let me see if I heard you correctly: My max run is 20 miles/week bench 315 lbs 36 to 48 reps/week squat 315 lbs 36 to 48 reps/week Pull-ups body weight 36-48 reps/week leg press, calf-raises, lats pull, etc
Mon emphasis RUN 20 plus miles No more than 80% on Bench, Squat, Pull-ups, Abs Rocky sit-ups or twist, shoulder shrug, military press, etc… I don't think you or anyone else can do these after 10 or 20 miles. smh
This is what I can do NOW am over 50 y/o. This Sat I burned my legs (emphasis) for an hour, 80**ish on abs for 30 mins, run 2miles , walk another 2 miles at 4pm. If I run 10 or 20 miles I can only work-out on my right bicep reaching for a bottle of water. 🙂
This system works out for some people. NOT for everybody. Like I said am over 50 y/o and am in better shape than Joe Rogan and his guest.
Very informative. Can you make a video comparing this approach with occums protocol & Body by science kind of method? Which is better? I read in Tim Ferris book that Occums protocol is best for max gains within short period of time. Your thoughts
You have mentioned in other videos that high rep count light weight training works well with Keto. How would you apply or modify this idea accordingly?
bro thanks a lot!! for this scientifically supported information and recommendations…good energy from Colombia to you… you make this with lots of love … it's a great great work !!!
Please make more videos on this topic. I work out often but I don't always understand how to put my workouts together. This video is awesome and we would definitely appreciate plenty more on this subject. Thank you for teaching us how to become a better us.
How much do you vary your exercises? Are you doing, for example, squats every day, completely different leg exercises, or are you switching between different but similar exercises (front squats, bullet squats, etc)?
A big thanks for your video. I've been training in fullbody for 8 years till today, and I've been testing several routines technics to get the best of fullbody training, sometimes wondering if fullbody would really be a solution for progress. Surprisingly, I've recently tried a technic close from yours a noticed new improvement in body composition and performance. I'm very glad to see that you're using something quite similar and it strongly encourages me to go further in this direction.
This is perfect. Thank you!! Question: I have been doing yoga in the morning during the week. My plan is to start doing 3 days yoga then 2 days strength training. Is that enough for a beginner?
Can't all of us just Email JRE and suggest Thomas on the show???! 👍 ☺️
I kinda get it but i kinda dont at the same time…….
Is there a good book I can pick up on the KETO diet, so I can read it at my own pace?
Could you please define your term fully body workout? Like how many sets / rounds?
Do you have a video with the body parts you should work out for a full body workout

Yes please more focus on beginners…thank you and love your channel!!!
I'm so confused
Best video by far. Can you post more examples on the board?

Great video, love the content as always!
Thank you very very very much 😊❤
Please make more videos on this topic
Do you hit full body every day and how many days a week do you apply this?
Strength VS Hypertrophy Know which one you are trying to boost. When you alter your training to allow both to grow with an optimum growth factor.

Fat on your body, does not make you stronger.
It would be nice to see a full body routine – types of exercises and duration

You say to train full body everyday
Here's a comment: Keep the videos coming! I'm addicted.
Thomas, I workout 6 days a week: 3 days weight training and 3 days running. On two of my running days I only run 5 miles with the focus being time and pace, and on the third day I run anywhere from 8-12, focusing on distance. Is it possible to get the benefits of the approach you described on just the 3 days I devote to weight training? Or do I need to add the approach you described on top of my running on those days where I have already allotted for running?
So essentially i can train 7 days a week with no problem under this breakdown ??
Hey Thomas, I'm late to this video but how many sets and reps for a full body Monday-friday? And if I do heavy or lite weight how many sets for that?
You are giving me goddamn bicep envy.
Incredibly needed information. Please continue to dive in the topic. First time watching you and subscription and likes from me for this information.
Such GREAT info!!
Just saw this video albeit a little late. Hopefully you can expand on this for a 60 something!
Let me see if I heard you correctly:
My max run is 20 miles/week
bench 315 lbs 36 to 48 reps/week
squat 315 lbs 36 to 48 reps/week
Pull-ups body weight 36-48 reps/week
leg press, calf-raises, lats pull, etc

I love your videos intelligently explained and very topic focused.
bro thanks a lot!! for this scientifically supported information and recommendations…good energy from Colombia to you… you make this with lots of love … it's a great great work !!!
I need to loose 60 pounds, I follow all your videos, also doing keto diet but I don’t know wish exercise to do 😩!!! Help me please !!!
This actually makes a ton of sense and I love the concept of it. So glad I found this video!
I wonder if there is a vid of this but on the "performance" side too
Shit nevermind…
How many exercise should I do per body part?
Please make more videos on this topic. I work out often but I don't always understand how to put my workouts together. This video is awesome and we would definitely appreciate plenty more on this subject. Thank you for teaching us how to become a better us.
Check out the “Best Damn Workout for Naturals” by Christian Thibaudeau, it’s similar to this
Frequency over intensity!?
So no need for rest days? And it's ok to hit a muscle at 80% after it being hit at 100% the day before ?
Take a cold shower and you will have almost no muscle soreness.
How much do you vary your exercises? Are you doing, for example, squats every day, completely different leg exercises, or are you switching between different but similar exercises (front squats, bullet squats, etc)?
You are so huge and thank you for that i need that to plan my work outs so that i can get best timing recovery to ho beast mode
Great video. I'd love to see a video on a simpler method you would suggest for someone just starting out.
Thomas, and others, what would you suggest for me since I'm paraplegic, seated in my wheelchair and only have full use of my upper body?
This video need a LOT more views than that
Is there a need to rest the body part that had emphasis the previous session?
A big thanks for your video.

Very interesting and well explained. Go on 😉
