John traveled the world to learn the best training and nutrition principles and trained alongside top pro bodybuilders at Gold's Gym California. He was a student of Arthur Jones, inventor of Nautilus and Medx Fitness machines, and the pioneer of hi-intensity training. John developed the HIT3 Training System, which transformed his physique to win countless bodybuilding competitions at just 18 years of age! He was also the first bodybuilder to utilize Faradic Electric Muscle Stimulation in his training and intermittent fasting during his competition prep. John’s SHREDDED Nutrition Diet helped him build one of the most shredded physiques of all time. His diet program incorporates fasting and nutrient timing to help athletes build lean muscle while losing body fat.
Many bodybuilders are under the false impression that the pump they achieve through volume training equates to muscle growth. If this was the case, marathon runners, who achieve a good pump from their daily 15 to 25km runs would have larger muscles than 100 yard sprinters. Yet the opposite is true.
Muscle pumping with medium heavy weights causes fluid build-up in the particular body part being exercised. However great the pump, it does not equate to muscular growth. Hi-Intensity training causes lactic acid buildup in a muscle resulting in a burning pain. Training through the pain threshold causes more growth stimulation. Although a lesser pump will be experienced by hi-intensity training, (than that experienced by volume training), more muscular growth will be the result.
