[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@TheMichael9er Powerman5000-When worlds collide. Great workout track. 

[kostasphil]

Mr Jay I have tried something for my chest workout.I did 3 sets of pushups as much as i could do and then i started my chest routine and now after 3 days i feel so pumped up.I think it helped me to focus more

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@kostasphil Great job brother. 

[kingcontyz]

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@kingcontyz Great idea.

[wmontano8]

@wmontano8 Thanks Will.

[mauri85zzio]

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@mauri85zzio Thanks brother.

[0NLYUSEmeTROLL]

You should make a video about your favorite music so we can all make a big jay playlist

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@0NLYUSEmeTROLL Watch my video "Follow me on twitter for Georgia workout/My playlist" I list several groups I listen to during training brother.

[murphystacks]

Great video as always

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@murphystacks Thanks brother.

[Estab1ish]

nice work big j. I'm only 16 and when i watch your videos it motivates me to stay healthy and strong my whole life:) keep it up sir

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@Estab1ish Thank YOU sir. Keep up the good work.

[MrMozskeeto]

Thanks for all you and all the fitness community on youtube J, 6 months away from 17 and now my arms are just over 17 inches. Not to brag but i might have good genetics for a body builder? That would be cool!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@MrMozskeeto 17" at 16 is huge big man. Keep up the good work.

[AduhAwas]

Hi BigJ! How come you use a suicide grip while benching?

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@AduhAwas Be sure to catch my video "Range of Motion vs Stretch and Flexion" explains it all brother.

[kipmclaughlin]

Seth looks twice as beastly with that beard.

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@kipmclaughlin Yes he does brother.

[mrinderle]

Great stuff as always!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@mrinderle Thanks brother.

[swifttiga]

hey are you still close to branch warren?

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@swifttiga Yes brother.

[StokedBeastMotoDr]

hey man what do you think about "PHD 4 - RJ Perkin's Power Hyper Deload Training"?

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@StokedBeastMotoDr Do not have an opinion brother, have not researched it yet.

[MrNewyork1966]

@bigjaysextremefitness what's the best way to get your bench up because I ask other YouTubers and they say different things and I'm asking you because you bench the most and one day I'm coming from Florida to train with you but be ready because I have a lot of questions

Thanks

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@MrNewyork1966 Questions are only $5 a piece ha. ha. I've always been a strong bencher so I'd be lying if I told you there was a secret. Most peoples strengths are within their genetics, then they capitalize on them and eventually overpower their whole physique. My best advice is practice makes perfect. Make sure you have a spotter.

[AspireToAesthetics]

And i would loooove to have your playlist busting out over the speakers instead of the crap in my gym

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@AspireToAesthetics Thanks for the support.

[AspireToAesthetics]

If i come from ireland to do a workout with ya big j will ya recommend me a good hotel to crash at. :P

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@AspireToAesthetics There are plenty brother.

[TheNigehh]

Hey does anyone know where to get singlets at?

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@TheNigehh Elite fts is a great company for all lifting gear.

[xNodhead62x]

I wish my gym would play badass music!! I can't workout to Lady Gaga very well

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@xNodhead62x Invest in some headphones brother.

[race4fox0013]

Incredible workout! Can't wait to try this routine. Big J, I wish you had more gym locations... If you ever decide to open another gym, south Florida would be a great location :D

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@race4fox0013 Thanks brother and agreed. Florida would be a great location.

[khanriza]

can't wait till i too can chuckle while having 315lbs on my chest.

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@khanriza It's all smoke and mirrors brother. The weight was crushing me, ha. ha.

[ExtremeNaturalMMA]

Im not gonna be a jackass and try to say on body builder is better than the other but ONE thing is fo certain, Big J has without a doubt the most hardcore gym!!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@ExtremeNaturalMMA Thanks brother.

[thugtrician]

Man this guy strong as hell

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@thugtrician Thanks brother.

[boby6]

Great workout. I have a prob with deadlift that you might be able to give some tips for. I have a very hard time making my ass and hamstrings fire. Is there anything I can do to not pre-exhaust them but just give a small pump so I can feel them working?

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@boby6 Deep squats to get them warmed up as well as hyperextensions focusing on the hams and glutes to elevate your body brother.

[MrFifaVids]

Is there a reason why you have your legs like that, on the bench :)?

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@MrFifaVids Be sure to watch my "Range of motion vs Stretch and tlexion" The answer to your questions are in that video brother.

[MrFifaVids]

@BigJsExtremeFitness - Thanks man :)

[SnapCity1]

What is the "squeeze at the top" meant to do?

[gutrez242]

@SnapCity1 Awesome name :D

[ExtremeNaturalMMA]

@SnapCity1 contract the muscles and drop the load directly on the muscle you are targeting.

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@SnapCity1 Static contraction, forces more blood into the muscle, shapes the muscle and has the capability to burn more fat during a squeeze/flex. Almost like posing the muscle. Try it out brother. Let me know how it feels.

[bassphemy]

The edits in your vids cut to the next scene before you finish saying what you're saying. I don't know what the cause is but a lot of information is being lost.

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@bassphemy I addressed that in my leg vidoe. Thanks for watching brother.

[tazzpower]

See, that's why I can't train with you. You can get under 315 and just laugh it off. 315 would crush me. LOL

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@tazzpower It's not JUST about the weight brother. It's about the INTENSITY during training.

[naterobinson1991]

you train with some nice music, my fancy gym always plays techno and rokky soundtracks(((

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@naterobinson1991 Rocky soundtracks are awesome. My old workout partner Mark Hanlon used to train to that album years ago

[CliftaFIT]

Great Video, Big J!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@CliftaFIT Thanks for the support Clifta.

[woogar]

Love the vids, keep 'em coming

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@woogar Thanks brother. Will do.

[gabrielius123]

2:53 !! are you kidding me? that was 315lb, you stopped, laughed then carried on like nothing happen.. BEAST!!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@gabrielius123 Nearly killed me. Forgot how much I had on there. Seth wouldn't stop messing with me, ha, ha.

[AdR1aN43]

train with luimarco brandon and the twins?

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@AdR1aN43 All in the works brother.

[OrangeHealthReviews]

Whenever I'm nearby in Texas, count me in. I'm definitely stopping by!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@OrangeHealthReviews Do it brother. We'll CRUSH a workout together.

[FitnessWithTroy]

I didn't know you worked out with Paul Jr. from American Chopper??? :P

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@FitnessWithTroy Ha, ha. ha. ha. We laughed about this comment last night.

[stackindatpapa]

I was happy with my chest workout today fter watching this im pissed at myself but I did good thats all i can do

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@stackindatpapa No reason to be mad brother. Just use this as a motivational tool for next time.

[stackindatpapa]

@Jordan121214 I would do what suits you everyone is diffrent as long as you contract the muscle with good form the way you do it does not matter a lot if ur a bigginer if ur advanced then you can do diffrent things

[Jordan121214]

You're the best, big Jason, keep the videos coming. I had a question about your form on the flat dumbell bench press, is there any difference when you hold the weight close to your body like you did vs. when you keep your elbows flared out and press? Thank you Intensity Rules !

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@Jordan121214 Past injuries and surgeries do not allow me to flare my elbows brother. Plus I feel it deeper in the chest when I turn the DB in that fashion. Try it out and let me know how it feels to you.

[steven288]

@BigJsExtremeFitness - agreed.... hands at around 45-55 degrees (or even more)

anyone trying to dumbell press like a barbell is getting in wrong in my view.

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@steven288 Thanks brother.

[steven288]

@BigJsExtremeFitness - pleasure man... tried 578X3 on the deadlift yesterday... got 2 reps.... felt like a ton of bricks (however, no belt or deadlift slippers... just totally raw).... but lack of food and sleep I think... going to give it a run again in 10 days before we try 611/617 .... intensity rules

[monkofdark123]

Your the best brother, Intensity rules!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@monkofdark123 Thanks brother.  Yes it does.

[goneover]

LOVE the workout music!! lol going listen to some Sevendust now haha.

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@goneover INTENSE. Get ready to crush a workout if you are listening to Sevendust!!

[goneover]

@BigJsExtremeFitness Newest song I love to workout with is Warrior's Call by Volbeat!

[georgecortez12]

Eh 2 hour drive... =(

[motionman0]

Hey BIG J...I will take you up on your offer to come to your gym and workout with ya. I am in Frisco, so not that much of a drive. What is your workout schedule? Thanks!

[favreing04]

Hey Big J whats your take on Decline Bench Press? I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I would appreciate it if you make a quick video on Decline Presses. I know guys like Dorian Yates used the decline often, but nowadays I don't see people do them much. Thanks, My name is Ray by the way. Intensity Rules

[TheChattagirl]

Hey J, just wanted to stop in and say Hi, hope your doing well. I haven't been on here in a long time. I'm trying to focus on my health which isn't good right now. I was thinking about you so I wanted to stop in and say Hi. Have a great week.

[CampbellFitness]

Even when you go moderate intensity it still blows everyone else out of the water. 

[andrewp369]

train with the twins, i wana see how big they are compared to you lol

[SkillerJ0el]

Strongman Seth is looking alot more trim.

[SkillerJ0el]

Big J, your just a powerhouse man, playing around with 140kg lol.

[MexiSean]

Australia yeowwww

[LethalMetal619]

Cool you're coming to NZ to train with me :D haha

[CableMayo]

i really like the very honest and sincere way you present yourself on youtube. respect.

[ADTT71]

Everybody trains chest on Monday!

[Louie212121]

@ADTT71 absolutely. Monday = National Chest and Triceps day

[AtoZyzzyva]

@ADTT71

I train chest on Sunday, last workout of the week. At uni it is hard to get a bench in weekdays.

[antoshahorosha]

In New Zealand?!

YEAH BUDDY!

[Mrdryhumping]

[Chrisf92262PS]

[RoccoDaOne]

[johnsnips]

[yaspaaa]

[EndomorphMuscle]

[danielnator]

I've been going low reps for my last set for my main compound exercises and I've been gaining good strength, great workout Big J!

[bebIessed]

big j im gonna come out to texas this summer to train with u! cant wait!

[grimmersnee]

u guys blow me away with ur strength every time!

[ant10011001]

2:06 I would never hold the barbell like that, suicide grip!... drop it and it will cave in ya chest or neck!! either way ya fucked!

[theek2008100]

@ant10011001 if you have to hold it like this or stop benching, what would be your choice? just watch big j´s vid about bench suicide grip and you will know why he is using this grip

[PNUTSHUFFLEZ323]

When ever im in Texas ima go have an intense workout with Big J! :D

[iheartbooty]

Love the brute strength and intensity. Beast in the gym & gentleman in public. Watching this at 3 am :)

[bsoliven7]

is it good to wear some type of knee support on leg workouts if i have knee pains???

[Splooshk]

When I do bench press I get inflammation in my tendons I went to the doctor he said not to lift to heavy but even when I don't it hurts like hell sometimes, I wear gloves as well, anyway ideas on how I can sort it out?

[HynoticPrime]

@Splooshk thats scary man.. i wouldnt want that, ever. but i think im almost close to getting that too

[Distrub122334]

why don't u use your thumb when benching?

[LibertyThePK]

@Distrub122334 he explained once and said he's suffered (i think it was shoulder injuries in the past). And suicide grip is more comfortable for him.
