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

 

Rick McCutcheon and JReps™ Rick McCutcheon, July 23, 2006 Background History Rick McCutcheon, age 40, is a competitive bodybuilder who moved up the ranks from a 'city' competitor to the Mr. Canada over the past five years (although he weight trained consistently for nearly 15 years). He is known for his hard appearance year round and has trained on nearly every method available, although for the most part he implemented a more traditional, volume approach (as per the muscle magazines). He was introduced to high-intensity training in August 2005, and then JReps™ HIT-fashion a few months later. His progress then exploded as he produced incredible muscle pumps and growth that was not attainable through other means, which helped him to bring up his weak body parts (arms and thighs). Lifestyle Compliance During Rick's experimentation with the JRep™ method, he did not alter any other aspect, including set volume, frequency, or nutrition. Nonetheless, he continued to gain lean mass (nearly 15 pounds) and get harder looking, although he was not using drugs at the time - from September 2005 to February 2006. General and Unique JRep™ Applications Many people who implement JReps™ tend to be of the HIT-minded school, in that they would work each zone of each set to the maximum. Although Rick trained in this manner for several months, he began to cycle in the 'gear,' for the Mr. Canada 2006 competition in February 2006. As a result, and based on his experimentation in training, Rick found it of greater value to reduce his intensity of effort somewhat in some or all zones (depending on the exercise) and to increase set volume and even frequency (from once every 7 days to every 5 days). However, as Rick pointed out, doing so was appropriate for him because of the anabolic assistance he was provided. In any case, the JRep™ method clearly points out that it is a method of optimizing set performance and potential results, whereas the integration and balance of the funamental principles of exercise (intensity, volume, frequency, specificity, [over]load, diminishing returns, and individualism) could take on any measure and strategy. Thus, Zone Training™ is applicable no matter what the general direction training happens to take. Comments About the JRep™ Method Rick has noted far superior pumps and overall effect/muscle fullness and development. As well, he noticed unusual strength changes, in that when returning (playing around with) full reps in various exercises, they were much easier to complete and he could use greater loads. It became obvious to Rick that the constant tension and inroad made from one zone to the next, and through the full ROM overall was the cause to the new effect. Moreover, Rick further states:"The effort is so concentrated and targeted that I have found JReps™ to prevent injuries common with lifting weights, and with only eight weeks out from my next major competition, my body is not killing me or feeling sore. This method's been proven by more than one kind of person. I am a 40-year old man who is nationally ranked, and yet I have used this method with a 28-year old woman who achieved a supplement contract because of the changes produced in her physique. And now, I'm training a natural bodybuilder (Mario Foucault) who won the Ontario natural bodybuilding competition and is headed to the Junior Mr. Canada." Documented Changes Rick has increased his arm size by over an inch and his thighs by over two-inches (neither of which grew much, even when on drugs, prior to JReps™). However, because of Rick's drug use, he refuses to go on record to provide more details, simply because people would credit the drugs for the changes (certainly they help, but again, his gains were on where near this when on drugs and training in a traditional manner). Nonetheless, Rick has trained on and off drugs, and while doing just about anything in the books. And based on his vast experiences as an advanced trainee, no method of training has yet to appropach the effectiveness of Zone Training™.
