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

Marsland and JReps
Back Ground Information
Over the course of my
training career, I have employed various methods; some have been
very effective some have not. Here are some of the methods I
have used at one time or another.
SuperSlow
Static Contraction Training
Power Factor Training
Negative Only
Negative Accentuated
Singles
Pre Exhaust & Post Exhaust
Force Reps and Strip Sets, Tri Sets
Heavy Duty Type Consolidation Workouts
Whole Body Nautilus Workouts (Including the various body part
routines)
These are just a few I have used
in my quest toward big large muscles. Whilst I'm no stranger
to the concept of partial reps, having used Power Factor Training,
which consists of very heavy partial reps in the strongest range
of an exercise, none of these methods come close to producing
the effects and results that JReps provide.
Lifestyle Compliance
Whilst undertaking JReps,
I made no real or drastic changes to my diet or rest patterns.
I continued to eat a well-balanced diet and ensured that I was
eating enough calories by monitoring my fat levels based on how
I looked and how my clothes fit. I also included cardio two or
three times a week, in order to keep my metabolism elevated and
to help keep my body fat down. My job as a nightclub bouncer
affords me the time to get plenty of rest during the day and
prepare my meals. When I started JReps I had just finished
a course of anabolic steroids; I wanted to see if JReps
could help reduce or minimize the 'down' effect of coming of
the drugs. My losses were minimal, more than at any other time
in the past when I used steroids, and been employing other methods.
I retained fuller, thicker muscles and the pumps were still very
encouraging. When I resumed a new course, I again noted what
changes would occur whilst employing JReps. My gains have
been excellent: I increased my neck by just over a half-inch
in less than two weeks, pushing it to over 18 inches. The only
downside was I've had to throw away some shirts and buy new pants,
as my old ones were too tight!

JRep Application
As stated, when I first
employed JReps I started with the JRep Halves Extreme
method. Over time, and with some experimentation, I've found
that JRep Thirds produced better overall gains. In addition,
the pump and level of fatigue I produce seems to be more profound
with Thirds. I've recently started to employ JRep strip
sets, although at this stage it is too early to tell what the
effects will be, but the first few workouts have been encouraging.
I generally employ 1 to 2 sets per exercise and my sets range
from 2 to 8 sets per body part, depending on their size and fatigue
rate/response to exercise.
Comments about JReps
Whilst there is no magic formula, there is much to be said about
looking to improve the existing one, and this is effectively
what JReps does. It's taking the simple concept of the
repetition and transforming it from 'useful' to 'extremely effective.'
We are brainwashed into thinking that exercise is about lifting
a resistance from point A to point B without giving it any real
thought. JReps' takes the process of merely lifting the weight
and allows you to plot and carry out the most effective method
of execution whilst avoiding any pitfalls, and it does it each
and every time.
I've not encountered a form of
exercise or method that can produce such a deep level of muscular
fatigue than JReps, and the pumps have to be experienced
to be believed.
The only drawback is the intense
muscular burning, due to the build up of lactate. Because of
this, it requires a high level of discipline to keep going when
the muscles are burning and it feels like they are about to cramp
up. In order to reap the most from this method, it requires 100%
mental focus. Simply put, you get out of it what you put in,
in that aimlessly pumping out reps without focusing on the muscles
contracting will do this method a huge disservice.
Documented Changes
While using JReps
my muscles have taken on a much thicker and fuller look, which
most definitely gives the appearance of increased size. I tend
to stay away from the tape measure or scales I much prefer to
gauge my gains by how I look, and what I see from JReps
is most encouraging. Evaluating my progress this way may be considered
subjective, but I'm experienced and advanced enough to know if
something's working as opposed to thinking it is. On the opposite
scale, such a method as consolidation-type training, a person
is encouraged to measure gains by an increase in strength, and
when strength gains are not forthcoming a reduction in either
volume, frequency or both is encouraged. However, such an objective
measure as increased strength and decreased volume and frequency
can lead to one's appearance looking worse, an important consideration
for the body builder (since bodybuilding is not about how much
can be lifted for 'x' repetitions).
The long-term effects and longevity
of JReps has yet to be evaluated, but not for a very long
time have I been so excited and enthusiastic about a method and
intend to exploit its potential (and mine) to the fullest.
