Q & A: Will Visual Impact give you serious muscle size?

8 Comments

This week I received an email from Mike.
He writes…

Q:“Hi Great Results man,I just had a quick question for you.
The biggest thing I want to get out of the Visual Impact workout is muscle size so phase 1 is very important to me and I want to make sure that I get everything right. I noticed that he tells you to do a pyramid set 12,10,8,6,12 for the first exercise and then says do 4 sets with same weight for the next few exercises.

What rep scheme should I use? I’ve heard that you just repeat the pyramid rep scheme but how can you do the pyramid in 4 sets?
It takes 5 sets to do the pyramid.
Did you do the pyramid for each exercise? If so did you find it effective in getting you muscle size in your arms and chest?
Would you say that your biceps and triceps got a lot bigger and harder after this program?

Thank You so much for your help sir,
Sincerely,
Mike”

Reverse pyramid training for muscle strength and size (Clint’s current regimen)

What is Reverse Pyramid Training?

Reverse Pyramid Training or RPT, is a style of training I’ve quickly grown to love. I’m now a 2 weeks or so in, and feeling pretty good about myself. My lifts have gone up in every area and I feel pretty strong.

Why RPT?

It largely goes against traditional body building methods – Normally, you might start with a weight you can do 10 reps with, then progressively ramp up your weight and reduce the number of reps as you go heavier.
This is where Reverse Pyramid Training is different and will see you starting your HEAVIEST weights on your first set (after a very light warmup).

If your goal is increased mass and strength, this might be THE technique you’ve been looking for.
(I’ll be tracking my own results over coming months and reporting back on my own experiences). Read the rest of this entry »

Shocking your guns into action plus other ways to get bigger and more impressive arms

How do I grow bigger, more impressive arms man?
There’s a sh*t-load of people out there chomping at the bit for this kind of information. It’s mainly because these ‘mirror-muscles’ are so sought after on beaches all over the planet.
Luckily for us, building bigger arms is an issue that’s easier to solve than most.

If you asked me how to grow impressive calves, on the other hand – I wouldn’t have a goddam clue.
Best shoot Arnold an email and ask him if he remembers. Unfortunately, he’s more than likely busy out-bench-pressing the residents at the old-folks home.

Clint’s current workout: Visual Impact Completed!

As you may have read previously, I’m currently the test dummy for Rusty Moore’s Visual Impact program.
I don’t adhere to fads nor gimmicks (how’d you guess that?) so i was skeptical at first, but then I got to know Rusty and his style of teaching over at fitnessblackbook.com.
As I leafed through the program, I came to realise that the guy just might know what he’s talking about.

You can’t put an old head on young shoulders
For the most part this is true.
Trial and error when it comes to physical exercise and dieting is something which not only makes you wiser, but also debunks your own set of pre-conceived ideas.

What works for some, doesn’t work for others.
Unfortunately, determining what is in fact working, isn’t always that easy.

Here, I’ll point out the mistakes I’ve made over the past 10 years.
This will hopefully help you become more discerning, and also cut out some of your own guess-work.
