Straight up, the answer, for the most
part, is NO...and it could be what's
holding you back BIG TIME in muscle
and strength gains.

One of the things I was lucky enough to learn very early
on in my training career is that the more frequently you
can hit your muscles AND STILL RECOVER, the better
your muslce and strength results will be.

Here's how it happened for me...

The year was 1991...that autumn, I had gone off to
university and had really gotten serious about the
weights, hitting the gym 4 times a week, following a
hardcore "magazine" program that honestly, I really
had no business following at that stage in my training.

My problem was this...I was getting really good results...

And that sounds absolutely INSANE to be complaining
about but in looking back, early success in this fashion
can actually be what sets the stage for FAILURE in the
long run.

I got results because I was 18 years old, I was an "ex"
endurance athlete who was no longer doing any endurance
training, and I was eating like a starving werewolf...

After about 3 months of moving forward like this...I hit the
wall and my progress stopped...and I learned something
the hard way...

...if you achieve success early and you don't know WHY
you've achieved that success, when the results start to
taper off, you have NO IDEA what do next to KEEP
making progress.

And that's where, looking back on it, I did one of
the SMARTEST things I could've done in response
to hitting that wall...I didn't keep banging my head
against the wall, trying to squeeze results out of
the same old approach as many people do...

...I LEARNED things... ;)

...important things.

If you're a dinosaur like me and familiar with the old "
Bulgarian Burst" training system, that was the program
that really set me on the right path for discovering what
WORKS for building muscle and strength.

The two keys I got from this program are the following...

---

1. Controlled Overtraining

To get long-term results, you have to overtrain yourself
ON PURPOSE (i.e. overreaching, a.k.a. accumulation
of training volume) and then back off ON SCHEDULE
to allow your body a chance to recover (i.e. intensification).
Your body doesn't react to training in a straight line...you
have work with it in cycles.




2. Training Frequency

You can train your muscles a LOT more frequently than
most people think...upwards of 6 times a week (or more,
if you're doing twice a day training!), as long as you
keep the volume per session low enough that your body
can deal with it with crashing into overtraining TOO fast.

---

I started on the Bulgarian training program first thing in
January of 1992...6 days a week, twice a day...and I kept
on it for 5 months straight, following it to the letter.

And believe me when I tell you, I was putting on muscle
and gaining strength like CRAZY with this approach...and
the beauty of it was, I was too "young" in my training years
to know that this was actually supposed to be wrong!

In the 8 months I was in my first year of university, I gained
75 lbs of bodyweight (going from 142 lbs to 217 lbs,
literally TRANSFORMING myself from a skinny runner into
a "beast."

During those 5 months of training, there were times
when I was hitting every muscle group hard EVERY
SINGLE DAY...

...crazy, yes, but I was doing it RIGHT, so it WORKED.

Fast forward to today...and I'll tell you without hesitation,
if you want to get big and strong, you NEED to find a way
to train your muscles more frequently.

In fact, if you have any of my muscle-building programs,
you'll see this pretty clearly...I have no reservations about
making you hit the same muscles and movements on
back-to-back days, repeatedly.

It's what WORKS.

Here's the thing, though...my programs are admittedly a
bit nuts...and I know they're not for everybody.

There IS still, however, a need for good, smart training that
has a strong focus on training your muscles as frequently
as possible for maximum results.

So with that in mind, I want to introduce you to a friend of
mine, Rusty Moore. He's been around the block with
training (25+ years), and, just like me, has had GREAT
results with a more frequent approach to hitting the muscles.

Rusty is a no BS kind of guy, which is one of the things I
like best about him. He's put together a program called
"Visual Impact Frequency Training"...and it is EXCELLENT.

In it, he draws from many of the same sources that I've
learned from myself...the Bulgarians, the Soviets, etc, who
basically did the OPPOSITE of what most "western"
bodybuilding training talks about.

If you've used my programs (i.e. Muscle Explosion and Mad
Scientist Muscle) with success, you're going to LOVE Rusty's
approach in this book. It's right in line with what I KNOW works.

It's a program focused on applying very strategic, very
targeted types of training stress to your muscles to achieve
strength, power and muscle density and size while staying
lean and sharp.

In other words, Visual Impact Frequency Training is going
to help you get BIG and STRONG, while staying LEAN.


(and just so you know up front, you don't HAVE to train
6 days a week twice a day like I did to make this work...his
approach can be adapted to as few as 4 sessions a week)
