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 am so excited about your new method I am buying one for my buddy for his birthday. I have gained 3-4 pounds and showed very visual differences on my body to a degree that my wife even made positive comments as to my physique. She is a physician and has a very keen eye, and I didn't tell her that I have been experimenting with a new method of training. She noticed the difference after one or two workouts! BTW, I experienced zero hypertrophy w/ SS, only 'strength' gains and joint pain. You have again renewed my excitement with physical development. I am definitely switching from super - slow to JReps™. - Rick Yeung

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

 

Mark Houghton and JReps™ Background History I'm 41 years old and have been training since 1982 .I competed as a junior in Bodybuilding shows and also worked in a Nautilus facility for several years during the 1990s. Training methods I've tried include Heavy Duty (1970s and 1990s versions), Nautilus training,Superslow, Power Factor and Static Contraction. I've used variables such as pre-exhaustion,double pre-exhaustion,rest pause,breakdowns,stage reps,partials, negative only/emphasised/accentuated,omni contraction, infimetrics/akinetics and hyper, among others. Lifestyle Compliance I changed my diet (lower caloric intake and emphasis on consuming nutritious foods). I began JReps™ using a whole body -once a week programme on Medx equipment. I am now on a 4 day a week 4-way split. Prior to JReps™, my progress had stalled. The changes in diet and training frequency have certainly helped. But the fact that I have gained muscle(after years of no progress ) and lost fat at the same time (which I never achieved in the past) leads me to point to the addition of one variable, namely JReps™ as the main factor for my physical changes. General and Unique JReps™ Applications To begin, I used halves,thirds, reverse and extremes... changing it around each workout. In recent times I've continued to change things around but now include fractuals,double extremes and heavy and light as well. If including an exercise I haven't done for ages (or for a change), I may perform a set of full range repetitions or negative only. Other exercises for that bodypart then would be performed in zones. I also like to use regular training variables on occasions in the middle or at the end of a JReps™ set .Examples would be a couple of static holds, a very slow full range positive rep, 4-5 negative accentuated reps, bottom range burns, bottom range stretches and breakdowns. If I was performing lateral raises on a machine, I might choose to use a heavier than normal weight and perform regular halves (top followed by bottom range) for 4/5 reps. I would then reduce the weight and perform another 4/5 reps. Reducing the weight again I would perform a very slow positive followed by a static hold on the way down. To finish things off, I would reduce the weight further still and perform burns till I cannot move the weight at all. Comments About the JReps™ Method When I first used JReps™, the difference in pump was like when I first used Nautilus machines after doing free weights (and this was with MedX machines). On certain body parts the pump was also different. It was like I was using fibres I've never activated before.T he pump also seems to last a lot longer than with regular repetitions. The most important thing to me is that JReps™ make a greater inroad locally, but systematically I don`t feel as fatigued. This has enabled me to train (at present ) 4 times a week without getting wiped out. Documented Changes In the first photos (top and bottom to the left) I weighed approximately 203 pounds (not sure about bodyfat percentage). My arms were 15.75 inches contracted, my calves17.5, my thighs 24.75 and my waist 35.5. My present measurements are arms 16, calves 17.75, thighs 25, and waist 31.75. Nov 2006, I weigh 186/7 pounds, and with a 3 point skinfold measurement estimate my bodyfat percentage to be between 8/9% Below is Mark, in the condition that allowed him to win the 2007 Masters Class at the BNBF (British Natural Bodybuilding Federation) Welsh Championships and was a hairbreadth away from winning the overall. He now is qualified for the British Finals in Edinburgh on the 30th September (Masters). Without the positive results brought about by Zone training he would not even have considered competing let alone contesting a British Championship.
