BodyFX2
I began using P/RR/S, I shot up to 251 pounds and was a bit harder. A 16-pound increase in a year’s time might not sound like much to some, but when you’ve been training for 14 years, and especially being natural, that’s a major, major gain. I eventually reached a bodyweight of 273 while using P/RR/S, although now I stay at 240 to 245 pounds, as I prefer to remain leaner. Over the past few years I’ve been more focused on business than training, but I still used the P/RR/S methodology throughout that time. The amazing thing is that I’ve continued to gain quality muscle even though my commitment to bodybuilding has been less than 100 percent. As I am planning on ending my competitive retirement, I’m excited to see what P/RR/S will do for me at full intensity. I’m betting that I’ll be holding about 25 more solid pounds of muscle onstage this
year than I ever have before—and with better shape, hardness, density and detail. As for my clients, they’ve all made remarkable progress with P/RR/S. Many have broken size and strength plateaus they’d been sitting at for years. One of my clients recently told me that after just two months of using P/RR/S, he had gained more muscle than in the previous two years. I regularly have clients gain five to 10 pounds of muscle in three three-week cycles using the method while making no other changes to their program. Some of the best progress I’ve ever seen was with a training partner whom I helped prepare for a natural show several years ago. He’d just competed at the very bottom of the middleweight class, at just 160 pounds, in reasonable condition. He had a nice structure but was severely lacking in chest and biceps
thickness, as well as overall density. He asked if he could train with me in hopes that he could compete in the same show the following year, much bigger and better. I told him that I’d be happy to train with him but that he had to follow my unique training program, no questions asked. He agreed. The next year, at the same show, he weighed in at the top of the middleweight class, which was 174 for this organization, and had brought up his chest and bi’s to match the rest of his physique. He was also far harder and grainier, and by the night show was carbed up to about 179 pounds. The promoter of the show accused him of taking steroids, but he passed his polygraph and had to take a urine test because he won the whole damn show. Oh, and he passed that too. I would venture to guess that he added about 20 pounds of pure, natural muscle that year. (continued on page 148)
