Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson’s Consultant: Dr. Jim Stoppani Talks Strength Science

The Channel name is accurate, if you watch this and believe this clown you will "Escape Fitness" by believing lies

Wow, what an amazing interview. You have definitely gained my respect.

Let's see his medical degree, cause I don't believe he is a real doctor

Stopani is full of steroids.

Yea ok, and also getting them on 200mgs of test and 10mg of d-bol too!! This dude is an idiot

Complete fraud. Can't believe you gifted him an interview.

the rock's consultant isnt a very good advertising since the rocks never seen abs his own life

Dont care what his qualifications are his supplements are still garbage lol..

This guy is an idiot I've caught him in 3 lies

Another scam artist trying to promote his useless crap.

Dude I'm 42 on trt and u dont train heavy...ya maybe if u spent ur life in a library

the rock is on steroids

I feel like I have heard this same information 10 years ago

I get the feeling he derives a great deal of ego from his PhD.

I dont get it what ever I watch on here one of your videos always with out fail comes in my up next queue and has for the last month, iv clicked the dont recommend channel button and still they come, I dont even like bodybuilding 🤣

Yo... if you're new to fitness make sure to get multiple opinions Hey things for yourself because in my experience many of the things Jim practices are not the most effective, for me.

Jim: People in there 70s and 80s need to lift heavy, 3-5 reps max. Also Jim: I suffered a quadriceps tear, I had 4 surgeries. This guy is knowledgeable but if I was new to working out I would ask myself... why do body builders do the opposite of what he (and many others) say to in many situations? Try everything but get your own experience and make your own decisions!

ROCK....STEROIDS SIMPLE

2 words: Pink Dumbells

He talks about snake oil salesman, Wow the hypocrisy!

Really enjoyed this chat. Big fan of Jim, his book The Encyclopaedia of Muscle and Strength is fantastic

Why are these people so obsessed with health and fitness and trying to defy death? When they should be focusing on their eternal soul. Your body is dying and will die! Your soup lives forever. Either with God or separated from him for eternity. Strive to have a relationship with God and you will live forever, everlasting life !

Couldn't listen to this way to much "you know " in this video

Dude is getting angry😂

If these people would spend more time on their spiritual soul and their relationship with God and not their body, which is going to die!! They could be experiencing everlasting eternal life through a relationship with God. They are just focused on their deteriorating body. So self centered!!

Gyms suck!! Get outdoors and hike and mountain climb

Theyve disproved what youre saying about hit cardio. Less calories from fat burned for same total time spent exercising with steady state because of the neccessity to take breaks. This includes the metabolic effect

Had to fast forward kind of a waste of time.

This guy is such a joke. He is either the biggest liar ever or a complete moron. His supplements are an even bigger scam than his training programs.

The orange pharmacist algorithmically whistle because jaguar disappointedly scorch excluding a encouraging keyboarding. shiny, dry scarf

How many old people can handle heavy weights? I disagree. More volume and lighter.

true when you get old you can lift 3 reps to the max

What's with the popularity of black clothes?

💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸🤡

“you know, you know, you know” No... I don’t know, idiot

Hgh is even being taken by the skanky Kardashians! It's not the steroids, hgh, insulin that you gives you the results its the hard work and diet. Well if that is true why do they all take steroids??

Women bang the big guy. Then grab a loser she can control to be the day to day influence on his life. Then a hes a drug addict. Hahaha.

I love u

Those Chinese factory videos are very calming.

White guys and tatts. Is that white guilt?

This guy literally says I haven't done anything for 10 years except sell supplements.

I've been watching this guy's channel for years and I never knew who he was.

Man Jim Stoppani is a legend, started training with one of his programmes and got massive real quick, felt amazing

I always wanted to open a gym for geriatric patients. A lot of their mobility issues could be helped with exercise. There is a placebo effect with medication and exercise I think it could be used to help them. Have a big old timer bodybuilder training them but he would need to be someone likeable that they trust. Have a doctor give them fake pills to take before exercise and tell them how good they are.

She had bone density issues and was on deca-durabolin and bonevia for it. The exercise seems to stopped the bone density loss.

The best thing for balance is weightlifting. My grandmother is 94 and she was using a walker when she was 90. They have her doing free weight exercises 3 times a week she calls it taking metal. She gets around without a walker she carries a cane with her but rarely uses it.

I would love the money he spent on tattoos.

I was a lazy athlete my whole life. I ate crap and worked out daily. It sucked. It never was fun to me because it didn’t make sense. I had already taken being fat as a part of my identity. I missed an entire football season in ninth grade and ballooned +50 lbs. Later, I would quit then go on to gain +150 over the course of a year and a half. Lost 156 of it now and seem to be “stuck” at 330-341 right now. This guy made it make sense. For the first time, working out makes sense and feasible. I cant wait to hit the gym now because I know that if I go in there 5 days a week and just move and get those micro tears then I will eventually see the results. Cant wait to email or DM him what I look like in a year.

I circuit train with a small dose of powerlifting. Why? Because soo many men around here are dying young from heart attacks 😎😎😎😎

ANOTHER FUKNG QUACK💩

there's no reason to lift heavy unless you're specifically training to lift heavy, and even then it will only carryover to that specific lift. if you're training for muscle gain and fitness, 60-70% RM (approx. 10-20 reps) is plenty, any higher than that is just increasing injury risk for negligible benefit. the important thing is to train the muscles to exhaustion, within 1-2 reps to failure.

Great point about the sprint calorie burning vs the long session Doc. Tony Little said the same thing when he advertised the Gazelle. Your calorie burning continues at a higher rate for up to 9 hours per Tony Little. I have experienced exactly what you are saying. I require more food throughout the day after an intense workout. Thx for clearing this up for people.

These oldet men are on test and hgh dont bullshit . I know this shit in and out probably decca too

Heavy my ass for old people

Its not the greatest example using walking lol

4 to 5 % hahaha my ass!

U know...

You forgot the mention his gear usage

You know, you know, you know, every other word WTF!?!?!

Lol all they do is get guys who are going on 70 thinking they are relevant they look like there going on 100 and their advice is subpar not anything you couldn’t learn from a book...

I like the way he thinks. My workouts are 4 hours of lifting every day. I am not overtraining.

I tried two of his workouts (Shortcut to Size/Shred) and they were effective. Watched a few of his videos and wished I hadn’t. He’s a dumb person’s smart person. Yale degree or not. Total douche

This guy is a bum. Steroids.

Two words. Ste-roids.

Secret to growth: heavy intense training to failure and lots of good food. If you're not getting stronger lower the volume and eat more. That's it, forget all the other crap.

What a cookie cutter with tattoos....

It's a con. They are all taking something and it's not the protein powders they are advertising.

This guy is a fucking moron.

"The best thing for olddr people is training heavy - *cough* and massive doses of TRT *cough*"

Lmao the rock, ll cool j and Dre. All juiced up by this guy

Dullsville

Jim stoppani is an ego maniac douchebag and a complete joke to anyone in the iron game that actually knows what he's doing. The guys a snakeoil salesman hawking a bunch of useless crap. The whole bodybuilding supplement industry is a big time scam. You can get everything you need from food.

What he means is he couldn’t pin in front his daddy 🤣

4 to 5 percent body fat with no cardio....lmaooooooooooooooo..lies...no juice either for you right? You don't need a Harvard degree to know bullshit....ive been in this game for 35 yrs....I would run circles around you in this game , but I'd be honest and tell people exactly how to achieve what you are saying ...not some bs smoke and mirrors. ...tired of you online clowns

ALL these online guys , and you all know who I mean, are only applicable for people who are on hrt like them....ive trained both ways ...it is completely different . Any guy who is big and ripped is on shit. Anyone want to challenge that you'll be proven wrong . Id bet my house. And stopping shit for 3 months isn't natural...I got big when I was young...natural from 13 to 19...trained daily.....jumped on at 19 and holy shit night and day. At 24 finished college and decided to go back to training natural. From 24 to 38 trained natural. 38 my chiropractor got into hrt as that wave was growing as drs needed to find ways to make money. Jumped on light hrt. A cc of test a week ...night and day to natty training . So I listen to this guys blah blah blah .......and would love to see him jump off his cycle for a few years and see if he changes his views and advice. Again I'd bet my house he would. Narcissists. Admit to yourself you are taking shit that gives you an amazing leg up on anyone training natty and I'd respect your advice. Till then you are just talking shit...walk around a gym and you will see more balding 24 and 25 year olds then you will vs the average population...I see kids come in to my gym full heads of hair , and within two years of getting into the gym culture they are growing way more than they would without cycling , but they also miraculously start balding within 2 yrs of joining the gym. . This whole industry is a farce....this guy is talking about everything but the number 1 reason for him being in the shape he is in...taking shit ...yes you need to work hard(no shit) , but you could do all the things that this guy says but you won't look like him without assistance from chemicals

over 50 year old dudes 4 sprinting series of 30 seconds? also lift HEAVY 3-5 reps max. Full body better. really? how about joint recovery? a joke, plus is he on trt steroids clen etc? these peoples advice is mostly a joke for nattys

You are correct about the training paradigm of the eighties. CrossFit was a big catalyst in changing people's perception of what is considered fit by introducing weight training to people who thought that anyone who lifted iron was a meat head. I was reading Dr. Hatfield in my highschool physics class in the eighties, and I very much kept my interest in bodybuilding and powerlifting in the closet back then. Triathletes were considered the gold standard. The problem now is that it's went to far because of social media. You don't have to be a powerlifter or do CrossFit, or subcribe to any of the bullshit being propagated in the fitness industry, to be fit. I knew a guy that was in his nineties that was fit as hell doing just manual labor. The foods we eat and the media at large are the culprit to bad health more than anything else. Separate the branding from truth.

when on tren e my d*ck growth is amazing g

Man's Man... Ive said things similar to this mindset for a long time now... truth

this guy is a fucking smart idiot. He said athletes stay lean because they train their bodies to use food better.Lol. They stay lean because they burn alot of calories but dont eat over their maintenance calories

Literally so many of the things he said is WRONG and has been PROVEN to not be as beneficial as he makes it seem 🤦🏼‍♂️

Stopani is an idiot broscientist lol

He just really said you burn more calories and fat doing weight training, hit vs cardio or walking 😂

This guy is interesting but to say it takes months to get into a state of overtraining is not accurate. The analogy of walking as a comparison to placing a weighted stress on a specific body part with increasing weight in a work out is like comparing apples and oranges

This guys a fake guru! Lol 😂

Just get a job in construction and eat clean. This dude is a joke

New drinking game...take a shot every time he says ah or you know. Be careful...you'll probably die of alchohol poisoning 2 minutes in.

This dude sells the most criminally underdosed supplements for ridiculously high prices 🙄

I say this guy is no good

Lack of specificity

He lost me at recovery.

Older people need to train heavy ... jus saying , chemically assisted fool

"Months to be over-trained" no you can over train in a short period of time. Also p"eople stronger later in the afternoon"-disagree within a.couple hours after waking.

Why has this “health” expert injected so much ink into his skin? Those puncture wounds filled with ink are not impermeable. Won’t that ink end up in his blood stream and his organs? Is that ink good for his body? I am forced to question his judgment?

Great video! We think a lot alike and travel in similar circles!

Yeah excellent, like quoting bullshit study about EPO (afterburn from sprints or hiit) vs steady state cardio (which was proven to have the same EPO effect). What he's selling I ain't buying. Hahaha, you burn more from resistance training holy Jesus help me. You burn a lot more from cardio, but it's easier to keep lean when you mix in resistance training because muscles increase your calorie needs - you can eat more. The amount of pure unfiltered bullshit spewing from Jim, come on people do your own research.

Some people don't get the difference between a wise man and a wise guy...

Lol full of shit

We need these gym gurus who talk the talk because they walked the walk.💪🏽🙂💪🏽🙂💪🏽🙂💪🏽🙂
