Since I was asked for the before and after. The left was the first time I tried really posing. To today. It’s been a wild ride. Just about a 3 month difference here

@BowTiedYukon These are some of the worst comments I’ve ever read

[Izzo @jonizzo]

@BowTiedOx Maybe a dumb question but when you say 2 sets are you doing warm up sets to determine what weight to hit that range and considering the 2 sets as working sets or knowing what weight to go with and jumping right to it ?

The fact that the only system at my job that’s down is the one that pays us is a cruel joke

PSA: slamming mediocre weight in the gym doesn’t make you look tough or hardcore. It’s just an easy way to show you don’t know what you’re doing

Torso position in the SQUAT🗣️

I made this video for a client of mine but felt it would be useful to share.

A lot of people cue “chest up” when they are squatting, for some this is a good cue, but for many it ends up causing them to arch their low back.

❌When we arch the low back, we are putting unnecessary pressure on the lumbar spine of course; but not only that, it’s an inefficient position to be in, as we’re fighting our torso from finding balance over mid foot- which hurts the output on squat overall.

✅Instead of trying to keep the chest up as you come down, let your torso lean naturally and then drive the back into the bar as you stand up.

This will lead to a much more efficient movement pattern, reduce low back pain, and in turn- let you load more weight on the bar. 🤌

My Physique and Strength Started Skyrocketing when I Did These 4 Things👇

I started my fitness journey at 13 years old (I’m 30 now) ….I got good results in my first 12 years of training but things really have started skyrocketing the last 5 years and I give a lot of credit to the following 👇

-Started to spend much more time in a surplus than I have in a deficit: I used to spend a lot more time trying to stay really lean, especially when I was a young 20-21 year old first learning to bodybuild. Eventually, I started powerlifting and started to focus more on my performance in the gym so I started eating to fuel that. As a result, I was in a surplus majority of the time and my muscle and strength increased in kind.

-Increased focus on recovery: I used to train 6-7 days a week- since I dropped back to 4-5 the progress has come way easier and I feel fresher in the gym. Sleep has also become a bigger priority in recent years.

-Bumped the protein up: I stayed on the low end of my protein intake 0.5-1g/lb of bodyweight for a long time- eventually I decided to bump up into the 1-1.25g/lb BW range and I noticed changes in my physique quickly.

- Exercised my BRAIN: The more I learned about biomechanics, nutrition, exercise selection and execution etc, the better my strength and physique have gotten right along with it as I applied what I have learned.

I’m not saying you’ll get my EXACT results by following these tips- but I can guarantee that if you put these things all together, find what works best for you and do them consistently for a long period of time, you WILL see significant results. Take that to the bank!

@dookiebutter100 Like I understand it has its place but people that obsess over “optimization” are never as big as the guys that just do the work 😅

700x1 at BRYKSQUAD Barbell this morning

Not my cleanest 700 by any means, but I’m happy to be back in this range- only my 2nd squat at 700lb in the last 2 years and first since last December.

Will clean this up for the meet in 4 weeks!

Also first 700lb squat in BRYKSQUAD barbell history so that’s cool lol

@Skywalker2l @youngabbss I thought about it but I wasn’t sure if he could handle it twice

[Izzo @jonizzo]

The amount of “gurus” that slide in your DMs then respond with a gif or a “ :(“ when you don’t respond is hilarious lmfaoo like how do these people think anyone takes them serious

[Izzo @jonizzo]
