I used this idea into my leg workout and it's killer.Ive been having back problems with fatigue at my age from using heavy heavy weight from squats.Bye pre-exhausting your legs with extentions helps me so i don't need to go so heavy and still get nice results.Thanks Johnny!
What kind of monkey is operating the camera? We dont need to see a close up of his shoulders on the leg press, why dont you actually show us his feet positioning and his motion throughout the workout
Johnny, listen, i know you a body builder and all...but thats enough man, your good! honestly, what are you going to do with all that muscle? Become a human tow truck? A human pillar? A human Wrecking ball?
Here is you next challenge sir...FLEXIBILITY. I bet you can't touch your toes!
How many sets and reps do these pro bodybuilders do, Cuz I know for damn sure they can't be doing 3 sets of 8-12 reps (like everyone says its good enough) for each muscle and call it quits... Any tips?
@Halobolu ...you're right. I have seen guys at my gym take a whole hour to train just their chest. Others are thru when these guys are just getting started. I read in Muscle Mag International that Ronnie Coleman does up to 20 sets!
I'm not a pro, but I love to workout, and have been doing so for years. When I first started, it took maybe 3-4 sets to get a good workout. Now I try to do at least 5 sets, if I'm lifting at 80% of my max. It's all trial & error tho. Get to know your body...
Yoooo... he starts off with leg extensions!??!?!?! 4 sets of 50 reps LMAO that ridiculous. I wouldn't be able to walk after that let alone keep working out and squatting and all.. WOW
@skylerj84 ...it's not always about how much weight it on the bar. Putting on muscle is a science to those guys. Jonnie doesn't need to go heavy all the time. He was originally a powerlifter, so I know he's got the ability to lift massive amounts of weight.
im sure this isnt his whole leg workout! .. all workouts are great except for the first one he did he was doing it like an ametuer .. i think he doesnt want other bodybuilders to know the secret of that workout
Johnnie's quads strength is straight overwhelming, if he performs at 2011's mr. Olympiathis way he'll come out strong and automatically hit 1st place, no doubt... nigga squatting 3 45s on each side like it aint nothing.. His leg press is weak compard to my max I can at least max out 2,00 Ibs. with no problem.........
is this right before a contest? anyone? it seems like he isn't using really heavy weights on squats and leg presses, on extensions he uses the whole stack and then some, i'm wondering if he was in the cutting phase and didn't have the strength on the compound movements that he usually does, like in the magazines and he's benching with 4 of 5 plates on each side, granted, the magazines are known for using fake plates and making the bodybuilders make ridiculous faces...
the one thing i hate about bodybuilding workouts is that they never go the full range of motion, they can only partial. but hey, whatever works 4 them
Training in air jordans!!! A nice touch to set of an awesome routine. Forget bodybuilders thst dont belive in squats!!!! This man is the real deal. Johnny Jackson for president!!!
I totaly know what you mean. I switched it up to super deep squats like you saw Platz doing back in the day, and I got a huge response out of my legs and the weight was way way less which was nice. And it isnt hard on your knees if you just go down at a reasonable speed and dont bounce at the bottom. Try it out it might really help, cus I used to hate doing that super heavy weight too. You just feel like youre getting crushed, it sucks.
Strongest bodybuilder in the world? No offense to Johnnie but 315 for 8 on squats is lightweight. For somebody who is enhanced the weights he's using are very underwhelming imo.
I have that same problem with the quad machine but I have to throw a couple 45s on either side of the tricep bar and then I have the manager come over and sit on them.
When you work out your legs (because they are your biggest muscle) it sends a signal to your brain and produces more testosterone which helps you gain muscle everywhere
I can squat way more than JOJ. He didn't even load the leg press up that much. It don't impress a me much lalalalala U know the song? Thats me singing.
are you suppossed to work just one muscle group a day? because i work every muscle in my body from calfs up to my traps for about an hour everyday. am i supposed to just do a little of everything and add special attention to one muscle group each day?
lol at the beginning when he needed more weight on the leg extension machine. it reminds me of Arnie when he does calf raises. he has to have a person stand on top of the weight stack.
The reason he didn't use a lot is because he's trying to get the best pump by focusing all the lifting movement on his quads/hams. Most people squat with way too much weight and that's why they don't get the leg results they want. They don't focus it and the weight isn't balanced all on the quads/hams.
He may be the strongest (pound for pound) bodybuilder, but Ronnie Coleman is far stronger than any bodybuilder I'v ever heard of and he's stronger than Johnnie, but Coleman is also 50+ lbs heavier....
freaking beast.... i never do extensions first before doing squat probably because my legs would be shot... it funny how he just adds weight to the machine like its no big deal
i could squat 360lbs with a body weight of 155lbs when i was 19! now im 21 and since then i weight 172lbs and i can only squat 275lbs...still my legs are 3 inches bigger. HOW COME? 20 rep squats...for majority of people legs wont grow huge with big weights.
