I Simply Can’t Answer Specific Workout Questions With This Contact Form.
I would if I could, but I have been getting 40+ workout questions per day submitted to this contact form. If I just took 5 minutes to answer each workout question…that is 5 X 40 = 200 minutes…or roughly 3 and 1/2 hours of responding to e-mails each day!
This form is more for JV requests, guest posts, etc.
If you have workout questions, please leave them in the comment section in the blog.
Please understand that these days, I can’t even answer all of those. This past month, Fitness Black Book had 300,000 visitors and just shy of 1 Million page views. I personally can’t answer every comment, but there are many experts who will if you put comments in the comment section of a post.
I kind of feel bad about this, but please understand.
Thanks for reading Fitness Black Book

Looking for a new contact form…coming soon.

hi rusty i have no questions but just some feedback. i have purchased most all your material and get your emails and check out your facebook and blog etc.
your approach and routines etc for training and diet is without a doubt the best one for me. i have been training for years and do some training myself and have tried tons of routines and programs and many do work regarding muscle growth and hypertrophy and strength gains etc. but for me your visual impact and diet and cardio programs get me the look i want better then any other. easy no. but it does work. after following the variations for close to two years i thought it time to switch it up and have tried adonis index workout this time. it did indeed give me some more bulk and size but i noticed the X look disappearing in lieu of a bulkier and thicker look and i followed it to a T. not saying it or any of the others i tried are bad but visual impact works the best for me by far. thanks so much mike
Hi Rusty,
I just read your lost about losing muscle and I am in desperate need of some help losing muscle in my upper body. I play wheelchair tennis and I have been having too many injuries because of the muscle mass around my shoulders and chest. I’m not big by any means, roughly 75kg but a lot of weight missing from my legs. What can I do to lose some muscle in my upper body?
Will greatly appreciate any reply you have the for.
Regards,
Adam
What is your thoughts on juice and Andy fasting?
Hey, Rusty. I’m using VIM and VI Cardio together right now. I started in Phase 3. I’ve dropped 13 lbs as of the end of week 3, and I enjoy the workouts! I have questions after a few weeks on the program for which I couldn’t answers in the forums or in the manuals. I’ll try to be detailed enough to ask sensible questions, but not so detailed as to give away too much program information. People really need to buy this & do it!
Should I be drinking the suggested post-workout drink in Phase 3, or is it better to leave off those calories & save them for Phase 1 and 2? Do you drink it right after a workout, or wait?
Should Phase 1 and Phase 2 workouts be performed in a fasted state? Phase 3 explicitly comments on whether or not to do this, the other two do not.
During Phase 3, you recommend a simple diet that works wonders. Should this only be used during Phase 3, or can it be used in the shrink wrap phase as well?
How does the Phase 1 schedule look? It’s a 3 day split, but you recommend 2 days on, one day off. Is one “day” being worked twice each week, while the other two “days” only get worked once? I guess I’m assuming 4 workouts per week.
Thanks!
Clay
