Renowned Bodybuilding Coach Chooses His Sides Amidst the Age-Old ‘Science vs Experience’ Training Controversy

The sport of bodybuilding is subjective, as it works differently for everyone. Despite being on the same diet and training regimen, no two bodybuilders will develop a similar physique. Genetics, metabolism, body structure, and many more aspects come into play while determining the best physique. However, often science dominates experience while training. 

But bodybuilding coach John Jewett chose his sides when it came to opting for science or experience to give the best coaching advice. 

John Jewett uses a combination of science and experience

While science helps to understand the underlying mechanism for muscle building, it cannot assure sure shot results for everyone. Then, experience comes into play for individuals to understand ways to maximize results through trial and error. Hence, a bodybuilding career provides time to improve upon past mistakes and learn from experiences. However, the bodybuilding coach, John Jewett, is inclined to use a combination of science and experience to obtain the best results. 

He defined Evidence-based bodybuilding as “You are not just basing information and knowledge off science, and you are not just basing information off coaching people and/or experience. It is a complete combination of the two,” in his post.

Citing its benefits, the coach underscores how the combination of the two will result in optimal results and offers help to rookie bodybuilders who are finding it difficult to tread the path. The combination of science and experience may result in the compilation of evidence-based studies. Even the 7x Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger is using evidence-based studies to share his fitness mantra.
