| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the J. Faruja Show, the podcast that helps high achieving men get lean and jacked, build an unbreakable mindset, and become the man you're meant to be. |
| 0:18.5 | What's up, guys? Welcome to the J. Farujiya's show. |
| 0:23.1 | This week, we got a Q&A for you. |
| 0:24.1 | Let's get right into it. |
| 0:26.0 | Are you going to continue coaching CM Punk? |
| 0:27.1 | And what is the main goal for him? |
| 0:27.6 | Absolutely. |
| 0:29.7 | We're going to work together for the foreseeable future. |
| 0:31.5 | He's going to continue to get leaner, |
| 0:34.2 | continue to get more jacked, more bulletproof, |
| 0:40.5 | move better, move freely without pain increases mobility increases longevity uh improve his hormonal profile his blood work all that kind of stuff so that he looks feels |
| 0:47.1 | and performs better than ever in his late 40s and that is my goal for everyone I work with |
| 0:51.2 | let's get to that point guys let. Let's get you fucking dominating, |
| 0:56.7 | feeling, looking, performing better than ever. I know it's possible. I do it with guys to get |
| 1:00.5 | ready for the main events at WrestleMania and busy executive, CEOs, entrepreneurs, business |
| 1:05.7 | owners, just like you. So let's do it. Apply and let's work together and get you dominating next question is what is the |
| 1:12.6 | optimal number of sets and an experienced lifter training each body part once per week um |
| 1:18.3 | general guideline if you're only training each body part once per week i would say probably |
| 1:23.6 | between eight and twelve is going to be ideal for most people arms you could probably get as like, like if you have a direct arm day, you could probably get as high as 12. Back you might be doing 12 to 16 because back is upper back, rhomboy's, rear adults, traps. Chest you might be limited to 8. Maybe you get to 10. Chest tends to get sore and really experienced a lot of muscle damage. Now, what you would do maybe on the |
| 1:45.1 | chest day is only do eight sets, but do two or three sets of dips or close grips on the arm day. |
| 1:49.7 | So that kind of depends as well, right? Legs, you'd be looking at probably, I mean, 10 sets of hamstrings |
| 1:58.5 | would be insane. Maybe six to eight sets of hamstrings. And glutes, glutes and hamstrings generally can double a lot of times as one exercise, the other, although glutes you could probably do, if you're just training glutes once a week, which I think is a bad idea. I think you should train glutes twice a week. Hamstrings once a week I'm fine with, chest once a week I'm fine with, even back arms that's okay I think you should train glutes twice a week. Hamstrings once a week I'm fine with. Chess once a week I'm fine with. |
