Bodybuilding and Physique Enhancement Maximized with Zone Training™!

The results that I have experienced are nothing short of breathtaking... I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming! Consider that I am still on a calorie deficit diet and have somehow managed to add 3/4 of an inch to my cold upper arm measurement as a result! My upper arms, when I initially switched to the method, were exactly 18-inches cold and would go up to a 18 5/16ths when pumped after a set of biceps curls and one set of hammer curls. They are now 18 3/4 cold and balloon up to 19 1/4 inches after a set of biceps curls and a set of hammer curls. The only difference being that I perform them JReps™ fashion. - Gareth Coombes

Forget Creatine and 'Cell Volumizers', JReps™/Zone Training™ is the the best volumizer I've ever tried. For something that appears so simple on the surface, the results are astounding. I gradually fine tuned my JReps™ implementation over the last few weeks (after a lot of detailing) and I've hit the target! - Robert Morrison

I must say that my shoulders felt more pumped and destroyed than they ever have. - Josh Ryan

Your first JReps™ book is excellent. It takes HIT training to new heights. Thanks for the innovation. - Steve Turner

For all the pain JReps™ put me through... holy crap... my triceps are still pumped and I finished my workout an hour ago. I am very excited to work my back next workout but I am not looking forward to the pain of a leg workout... ;-) Thanks again for the great info, the JReps™ book was awesome. - Adrian Schilling

I'm now currently 249lbs, But I've dropped 6 lbs of body fat from 255lbs. I've now been dieting for 2.5 weeks and everyone is telling me I am looking a lot leaner and bigger. You have to keep your ego outside the gym when using j-reps and perfect technique/form. But I just wanted to mess around on incline bench for kicks to see how much stronger I've gotten. Well, I warmed up with 225lbs and did it for an EXTREMELY EASY 12 reps for warming up. Some guy couldn't believe I was warming up with 225lbs again this is just a warm up and I just wanted to see how this felt. I then proceeded to drop the weight back down to 185lbs and do the JReps™ Extreme Thirds.... I did the bottom zone for 10 contractions, and the middle zone for 9 contractions, and by the time I got to the top zone, my chest was so pumped and my triceps where so fatigued, that I was only able to achieve 5 reps in the top zone. And then I did my back with JReps™™, and my lats, traps, and biceps were exploding out of my XXL underarmor shirt. - Farris Baba

If we are to believe Arthur Jones' advice to look for ways to make exercise harder and briefer then this is definitely harder and brief. - Richard Chartrand

No doubt JReps™ is the best of the best since my career in training. Everyone is saying I am becoming a monster... day by day same comments from people at the gym, at home, at work, everywhere, and I see the results. I arrived finally at 18-inches arm with JReps™™ and everyone is asking if I'm on drugs, but I'm not. They don't believe. it I must thank you for letting me know about JReps™. Old traditional lifting is finished. - Shakeel

JReps™ has really increased my overall physique and has brought up a lot of weak points. - John D'Ambrosio

Since I have been using JReps™ for the past 5 weeks, I can honestly say that this style of lifting is like a breath of fresh air. I no longer dread working out like I did with Heavy Duty and HD Consolidation training. By using much less weight and focusing on the breathing and muscle contraction techniques, my joints are starting to feel better and the muscle pumps are awesome. I'm already noticing better shape starting to take place, most particularly in the outer pecs and biceps. I don't feel drained like I did trying to lift heavier and heavier weights to failure (HD style), and so I can say that everything you wrote about in your book is proving to be factual. Right now I'm enjoying the process of trying
the different JReps™ protocols with various exercises, along with experimenting on frequency and volume. Excellent work on all of the research you have done, and thank you for FINALLY convincing me that trying to lift heavier weights for a few exercises and employing long rest periods (HD Consolidation) does not provide the best stimulus for muscular growth and development for natural bodybuilding. - Jim Ellcessor

I still can't believe how efficient a single set of JReps™ can be, how much inroad and fatigue I feel after it - and how little I can sometimes handle. Also, the days after effects are still there..fuller and harder all the time. Simply put, great job. I look forward to experimenting further. - Adam Reid

I have one thing to say about JReps™: Unbelievable! As I fine tune my workouts and select exercises I favor, and set rep goals, the execution of these reps leaves my muscles destroyed, full and dense for several days after the session. During the set, the muscle fills with fluid as I perform very controlled contractions... and as fatigue sets in, I move to the next segment. Then about three reps into that zone I feel a warm rush spreading across the muscle, and more fluid screaming into my cells. This is a feeling I have never felt before with all my years of quality training. I am still fine tuning my sets, and finding myself more eager then ever to return for further experimentation. I predict that JReps™ will make traditional full-range training a thing of the past. Unbelievable. - Stephen Downes

JReps™ are amazing. I thought I had some intense workouts in the past - not until, but I did a full run of JReps™. The book was a very good read - and even better putting theory to practical application. - Chuck Rainey

I just finished my chest and triceps workout. WOW! I can't straighten my arms and it's all your fault! Thanks! I feel like this concept is a true breakthrough. Thanks again for this amazing concept! - Craig Huntington

All I did was 1 set of JReps™ squats and I am cursing
every time I climb the stairs. - Marlin Koch

I am really excited about being in the gym again and I know I am going to see great progress. Plus, I am using a much lighter weight than I was using for a full range full body workout, and so I know this is going to be much better on my 48 year old joints. - Peter D'Cruz

I deem it is one of the most exciting prospects I have come across in a long, long time. One that pans out in both theory and application! I believe as people experience and see the changes that will occur through the use of JReps™, most will move away from full ROM training. I know for myself breaking exercises into segments is much more exciting as I can then focus on a range without fear of having to stop just because of the sticking point. This is a literal gold mine for advanced trainees! There is so much scope to experiment with, to keep the theory alive and exciting!!! The incredible pumps help to support the psychological aspect... the
'rush and fix' of every hardcore bodybuilder out there. I want to commend you for thinking this thing out as thoroughly and efficiently as you have. This is unique, moving well beyond what us advanced trainees have done in the past, which mentally and physically is refreshing and exhilarating. - Kevin Dye

Click Here to add JReps PDF Email to shopping cart Click Here to add JReps PDF on CD to shopping cart This is the original landmark book on Zone Training™ JReps™ is about performing high volume contractions in a low volume of sets, while optimizing each zone (and muscle fiber recruitment) of an exercise's range of motion. This is not like 21s, or 1 1/4 reps, or like anything else. In fact, there are 8 different and core procedures that can be implemented in the JReps™ method. And the manner in which it affects muscles will do more to increase strength than traditional training, something powerlifters and strength athletes need to consider. This book explains the intricacies and physiological reasonings as to why The Johnston Rep Method™ will do the following: Unique and increased muscular stimulation that produces superior inroading/fatigue never before experienced. Any free-weight or cable exercise can have a near-perfect force curve with JReps™. Enhanced muscle pump never before experienced after only a handful of sets. And when taking it up a notch with JReps™ Extreme, a national level bodybuilder claimed that the pump felt as incredible as it did when he used anabolic steroids! More thorough stimulation of every part of the ROM of any exercise; you eliminate the sticking point by making each aspect or zone of the ROM equally challenging to invoke a greater degree of muscle fibers. An increase in mental focus that is required to undertake the concentrated demands of JReps™; you become more in tune to your mechanics, quality of execution and the training effect.

Click Here to add Tactical Fitness PDF Email to shopping cart Click Here to add Tactical Fitness PDF CD to shopping cart ($25 Canadian + shipping) Advanced trainees fail to achieve optimum muscular development because they fail to have the right mind set. Whether dealing with politics, business and economics, or any other facet in life, the greatest gains are realized when 'war' is declared, and that's exactly what you need to do in the gym - intelligent mental and physical strategies to make physical changes and to enjoy the adventure of pumping the iron like never before. Includes foreword by Dave 'The Blond Bomber' Draper. The book version includes a FREE 2-hour DVD with vintage footage of the Mr. Olympias '65, '66, '68, '80 (with Mike Mentzer), and much more! (First 100 copies only). This book deals with the psychology and strategic directions of exercise, based on fundamental rules of waging war, such as: Declaring War on Your Muscles - Establishing purpose and direction in the gym. The Guerrilla War Mind Set - Forget about the past... you need to react to the present by being flexible in your methodology and application. Do not repeat the same tired methods; do not allow yourself to be stagnant; become mobile and fluid as you improvise in the gym. Maintain Control - It is easy to lose your head in the heat of battle, and without presence of mind and remaining mentally tough, you can fall apart during a workout and lose the effect you were striving so hard to achieve. Establish a Sense of Urgency and Desperation - It is time to enter unknown territory, and this transpires best by laying out a general course of direction, and then pulling out all the stops with the details while training. Remain in Command - Do you rule your muscles, or do they rule you? Stop giving in to what your muscles want and stay on the path toward success. Controlled Chaos - Speed of response and adaptability toward your workout environment allows you to make quick decisions and to alter the course of a repetition or set, toward greater challenges and inevitable outcomes. Choose Your Battles Carefully - Hard training is essential, but it is the extreme and unusual that will reap the biggest rewards. The problem is knowing when to step forward into an all-out blitzkrieg assault. Strategies long-term so that you can win the war, and not just a few battles. Develop a Cause - People fight hardest when they believe in a cause, thus making a war into a crusade. It is not enough to want larger muscles, but to put your mind in the proper context of what you are doing and why you are doing it. ...And many other chapters and concepts discussed to help make you a warrior in the gym, and not just another trainee spinning his wheels!

Click Here to add Apex PDF Email to shopping cart Click Here to add Apex PDF on CD to shopping cart Building muscle is about applying the right strategies and at the right times. What a lot of people don't realize is that there is a difference between optimizing strength (lifting potential and ability) and optimizing muscular hypertrophy. Understanding how muscles adapt to the exercise stimulus is the basis behind ultimate growth, which is particularly important for the average non-steroid using fitness enthusiast. Apex then integrates this information into unique theoretical discussions and practical applications, including: How the Critical State of Change is the window for maximum gains. Limit the muscles' adaptation to the exercise stimulus with Chaos Training. How Blitz Cycling will be your primary means to strong, large muscles and why typical exercise methodologies are so short-lived. Implementing advanced training methodologies for physique transformations, to improve your own appearance or as a marketing tool/benefit for your clients. Guidelines for pre- and post-exercise activity to improve workout efficiency and quality. The Next Level in Advanced Sport Psychology The mind leads the body, and often a person's weak link is the mind. Most sport psychology texts discuss some important relationships, but few provide practical application to optimize training ability. Apex discusses and teaches what is most important to the serious fitness enthusiast, and how to apply one's self mentally for the best workouts possible, including: Psychological profiling of clients, so that you can understand their preferences and emotional needs. Building, developing and assessing motivation. Obtaining maximum arousal with minimal anxiety. How to improve concentration, imagery, and confidence. Get into the 'zone' just like the top athletes. Reinforcement and mental tricks to maximize performance. Fine Tuning Sport Nutrition for a Lean, Hard Physique The third factor in optimizing a physique is proper nutrition. Most people know about good and bad foods, and consuming the 'right' amount of calories to achieve fat loss, weight gain, or weight maintenance, but the process is more complex than that. Like training, nutrition needs to be strategized and cycled appropriately for the best gains possible. Apex discusses these factors in detail, including: Macronutrient ratios for physique transformations and advanced trainees. Sustaining motivation in a cyclic fashion to coax fat away. When to consume carbohydrates for optimum workout recovery. Cycling protein intake to get the most from your food and supplements. The key supplements to optimize exercise performance and to accelerate recovery. Advanced carbohydrate loading application for physique photographs, bodybuilding competitions, and recovery enhancement.
