I am wondering if the 2 day split with heavy weight and low reps, cardio and low calorie intake will give me the David Beckham or Cam Gigandet look. Let me know what you think Rusty:

I'm interested in reading those studies trainer posted. I never thougth about the fact that just tearing down muscle will cause it to grow larger even though I was using low weight. I thought that high volume didn't matter as long as I didn't increase my weight. but this brings up a question. doesn't rusty recommend bodyweight training? it seems as though that's pretty high volume and would cause hypertrophy then. I can do 30 push-ups in one set, and probably 30 air squats. after a few sets that's high volume training and likely to tear down muscle...it just seems as those two prescriptions are contradictory? it would be great if this were cleared up a bit.

As a former teen bodybuilder, I know the agony of those grueling long hours of "pumping iron" and "two hour feedings". I also used to carry a milk carton full of water around school just to stay hydrated. But realizing that many of those techniques were either outdated or simply fitness corporations' marketing techniques, I've decided to utilize a much more "natural" way. And I have been doing bodyweight exercises and HIIT ever since. Anyways, I was just wondering, if I don't have access to a gym, is there anyway I can still achieve the same effects of the "low rep low volume" routine you've described? Maybe, through explosive exercises? I would love to hear from you! Keep up the great work! Rusty, you have no idea how long I've waited for a website such as your's.

I was wondering if you could simplify a bit of terminology for a routine i could use for the shape i want. I'm about 240 right now and I could probably cut like 30 lbs. I'm 6'3" and im athletic so knowing how to do cardio comes easy with that. But I want a thinner body from at least the stomache up and I want to go for strength and permanent tone but if thats not possible i want more on the side of being thinner and losing the excess stomach wait possibly getting my 6 pack again. Is there something you can recommend me like a specific routine or amount of reps and sets per machine (because I get the stop before muscle failure part and use max weight low reps...unless this wouldn't apply to the srategy/technique I should be approaching). So all in all, I'm just wondering if you could give me a workout or set routine using low rep or high rep, max weight or less weight, and involving cardio but put it some-what in lamen terms? Thank you so much Rusty and I realy love everything I've read on your site so far its getting me motivated to workout again and continue it this time. Best Regards, Mark Hi,

However I couldn't find a post about the best way to gain stamina, any tips here, or is it just a case of high reps? I have a "light" exercise routine that i perform around 3-4 times a week, press-ups sit-ups ect. I recently followed your advice regarding doing the motions slower with more emphasis on the tension just wondering is this the best way to go about it? cheers.

The part about a pump being a kind of temporary muscle tone reminded me of something Arnold wrote in is autobiography. He said that his training partner Franco used heavy weights all the time and that this kind of training causes muscles that look flexed all the time. Arnold said by varying his training with more moderate lifts he developed a physique that did not look all that impressive when he was just standing relaxed but that opened up dramatically ("like an accordion" I think was his phrase) the second he hit a pose. He liked the surprise/shock factor of this and thought a Franco style physique with hard muscles offered no surprises and therefore less drama in posing. So this seems to confirm what you are saying about muscle tone through heavy weights. I'm going to try it, but isn't there more of an injury risk with these very low reps? Also I thought Daniel Craig looked good in the Bond film, but I read he trained circuits compound free weight exercises in sets of 15. Any thoughts on the apparent effectiveness of his high-rep program? Thanks, great site. Long live the aesthetics of lean! BTW, martial artist who says Bruce Lee never used weights is incorrect. Lee was actually a keen advocate of trying everything and talks about weight training in his writings. He had a power rack and lifted weights for many years. In fact he injured his back doing barbell good mornings and was in bed for months recovering. Dan Inosanto also remembers doing drills of barbell punches with Bruce Lee -- so yes he used weights, big time. Interesting post.

I have been an avid lifter for many years now, and this is the issue that I cannot figure out. My diet is good and workouts are intense but I always end up working out bodybuilder style and with my build, I just simply don't like how I look with all that muscle. I love working out and am trying to lose some muscle and lean out. My goal is a physique like David Beckham or just a lean ripped guy. So you recommend doing 3-5 reps at what percentage of my max for the lifts would you say? And after would HIIT be good? Hey great site!

I believe a big reason that people in the clubs look more attractive in the summer is because they are a bit "leaned out" due to sweating in the hit sun. I used to think it was because of the tan that people had in the summer, but I think it goes beyond that. Great strategy! I haven't worn a sauna suit before...I sweat a lot already. Rusty shane#1,
