I do think that I must have influenced John's thinking on those programs, as he and I have spend hours talking about training on the phone and he reads all my stuff / thoughts on things. (He once surprised me that he knew of something I'd written, saying that he pays closer attention than I though!)
But in no way did we formally collaborate on his programs - he does those on his own, given the ideas that are in his consciousness at the time. I have a had a few folks who do both FT and MD training ask me this - they know the actual MD programs in and out much better than I do, as I've not ever done a full fledged MD training program from start to finish - thinking that some of John's 2.0 stuff much be something I helped him with. (I suspect some of that could be confirmation bias.)

ahh yes completely understand - you don't want to be like one of those coaches at golds who blatantly shows off every new client.
how many top guys have come to you previously training a 'bro' split and once you put them on 4 days a week they're shocked at the amount of muscle they can build??
I think there is a lot more pros who train with FT only 4 days a week than what the media portrays - I definitely think the media and magazines have the whole thing wrong - they publicise 7 days training with 1 muscle group a day blah blah, and kind of 'shun' rest days, when really you've found the gold mine Scott - 4 days a week v hard, 3 days rest and that's truly how you grow!
I did do a higher frequency program from John - I must say it was v similar to fortitude training in terms of balancing volume/frequency but what I love about FT is smashing the WHOLE body at a higher frequency rather than just 1 body part in a 6 week block.
Any cool new additions to FT that your working on???
