Description

This week we had the honor of sitting down with the great John Jewett (@johnjewett3) to talk through his Olympia prep and all things evidence based bodybuilding.  John is one of the few IFBB pros that speaks to the scientific literature on a daily basis while providing top tier coaching for his clients and also finding practical takeaways allowing him to continue improving his physique after a decade in the iron game.  

We want to give a huge thank you to John for coming on and providing A1 learning material for athletes and coaches alike. Best of luck at this year’s Olympia and we’ll see you on the other side. Topics discussed include: 

• 1:59 - For my non-bodybuilders in the audience, the John Jewett Introduction
• 5:22 - John’s previous coaches and coaching influences
• 21:00 - Philosophy around training: RIR, deloads, progression models, and more 
• 33:05 - Recovery from training: fatigue management and getting to bed on time 
• 44:40 - How a Mr Olympia competitor programs cardio 
• 53:01 - John’s post show strategies: going fast vs going slow 
• 1:00:59 - Renee Jewett’s prep, an IFBB pro card season, and the Wellness division 
• 1:14:13 - J3 University and where you can find future projects from John
