I’m all for a progressive overload when done properly. Yes, John did lift some moderately heavy weights but not at the expense of using proper form just to beat a log book which often prevents people from maximally stimulating the targeted muscle. Once you plateau and can’t gain any appreciable strength, workouts become frustrating, demotivating, and often confusing, when you can’t be a log book, especially when you’re showing up every day and putting in the work, but end in burnout or injury. With the right know-how and actions, you can usually reach the next level of body composition and strength, even if it’s only a slight improvement. Only beginning lifters and/or steroid usersI’m 37.
I’m nothing special but I’m okay.
and John built his physique on moving heavy ass weights.
Even Johns routines have built in progressive overload.
How do the vast majority of pros train?
They move some damn heavy weight.

Your posts are like reading a personal trainers manual
have the ability to continue adding ten pounds to the bar every week or two. Once you’ve entered your intermediate phase of weightlifting, your goal should be to increase the weight less often and start focusing on training frequency, volume, and impeccable exercise form and various exercises to damage the muscle without damaging connective tissues and get injured. Once you’ve entered the advanced phase a progressive overload should be the last thing on your mind. This is life as an experienced bodybuilder.
