Why am I writing this?

Well, when I was thinking about buying the Visual Impact Muscle Building course there weren’t many real reviews from average Joes actually using the product.  I thought I’d write one to help any of you who are in the same position I was, not knowing whether it is all a load of crap or does Visual Impact Muscle Building work?.

But be warned, I’m going to be going into both the good and bad points, so if that’s something you don’t want to hear, then you might want to stop reading now.

What do you get?

Included in the Visual Impact Muscle Building course are 3 ebooks: the main course, exercise demos, and printable workout charts.  Each are high quality hyper-linked pdf files which make it easy to find the information you are looking for.

Main Course – 70 pages of content, provides the introduction, concepts, nutrition, the 3 main phases, and the bonus phase: The Shrink Wrap Effect. It explains how you can customize the program for your own body, and provides detailed Q&A section.

Exercise Demos Manual – 220 pages of exercise descriptions with how to perform each one and pictures of it being performed.  It is sorted by muscle group and also has an index with the exercises specific to the 3 phases of the program that are used in the printable charts.

Printable Charts – specific exercises for each phase of the program provide a quick reference to take with you to the gym, and these are also easy to use for someone with just a small home gym containing only free-weights, a bench, and a doorway chin-up bar.

What is it all about?

The main concept is that you should structure your workouts in a way that takes advantage of the 2 main types of muscle growth.  Sarcoplasmic growth which is basically the type of growth that is muscle size, endurance, and the amount of blood flow within the muscle.  And Myofibrillar growth which is the muscle strength, definition, and neuro-muscular efficiency of the muscle.

The way that your workout and training program are structured for different ranges of sets, reps, weight, and rest between sets will determine which type of muscle growth will be most predominant. You do want both types of growth, but not in the same amount all over your body, and you generally can’t get them both at the same time.  And just putting on the most muscle you can all over your body will NOT to make it more visually appealing.  So how do you do it?

The Visual Impact Muscle Building program provides the solution to this puzzle!

Here’s how the course works:

Phase 1 focuses on sarcoplasmic growth by concentrating on cumulative fatigue of the muscles with high reps, no pause between reps, partial reps at the end of sets, and very little rest between sets.

Phase 2 is a hybrid mix of sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar growth with medium reps, slight pause between reps, more weight, not lifting to failure, and a reasonable amount of rest between sets.

Phase 3 is focused on myofibrillar growth with low reps, heavy weights, and ample rest between sets.

The Bonus Phase is how to ‘shrink wrap’ your muscles. You will learn how to add a surge of muscle growth to your body when your muscles are already dense and you are at a low body fat so that your skin wraps tightly around them to make your muscles look better than ever.

The Bad Points

Obviously, Visual Impact Muscle Building’s not perfect. Here’s what you need to be aware of:

  • It has not been designed for increasing your performance in sports, such as football or powerlifting.  The main focus of the course is on visual appeal, with secondary focus on health and strength.

  • Visual Impact is not meant for gaining HUGE amounts of muscle. Your body has a set amount of muscle that it likes to carry around.

  • It is NOT for everyone! You must have the goal and desire of attaining a lean and muscular body in mind, and the motivation to do everything you need to do in order to get it.

The Good Points

  • The mix of workouts and training styles in the course assures that you will not get bored, and it works with your body’s natural growth mechanisms by avoiding adaption to any single type of workout.
  • Nutrition is a big part of the Visual Impact Muscle Building system and along with your own dedication to consistent workouts including Strategic Cardio, you will reach your goal.

  • Rusty Moore has a new Visual Impact for Women ebook called ‘Visual Impact for Women – A Workout for The Slim Feminine Physique’.

  • Visual Impact will make your muscles stronger, denser, more defined, and larger without being bulky. It is for regular people who want to build muscle, be in great shape, and still look good in fashionable clothes.

Last Word

And so we come to the end of my Visual Impact Muscle Building review. Overall, there is no other system like this, Visual Impact really is one of a kind in its laser-like focus on getting a lean sculpted physique.

The course manual is complete and easy to understand, and Rusty Moore makes it an entertaining read with his stories and personal experiences as a Hollywood trainer, and how he finally discovered the revolutionary concepts that make up this new muscle building system.

If you have the goal of getting lean, strong, and attaining a Hollywood body then with your own consistent workouts and dedication to a simple healthy eating plan the Visual Impact Muscle Building course is the only one that will, without a doubt, enable you to achieve it.

Hope my website has helped you,

Davis.

How to Get the Lean Hollywood Look! – Part 2

March 2nd, 2011 Comments off

Step 4: How to Achieve the Shrink Wrap Effect

1. Diet down 5-6 months before an event without losing strength. Maintain muscle density while dropping body fat, by dieting and gaining strength. The goal is to get lean in 3-4 months (while remaining strong). Work in the lower rep ranges, to maintain strength without adding additional muscle size.

2. Hold at this lower body weight level for at least 6-8 weeks.What you are doing now is allowing the skin to catch up to your smaller overall mass. Aim for a low calorie diet, some intervals, and low reps to maintain strength. These lower rep ranges will maintain strength without adding a bunch of size.

3. Increase the reps and volume of your training 3-4 weeks before an event. You are now going to add a higher volume of sets and reps to your routine and possibly backing off a little on cardio. Let your muscles fill out a bit without gaining much body fat.

4. (Optional) Take Creatine 3-4 weeks prior to your event to add fat free mass. Creatine works extremely well if you add it in before an event. You want to save it for when you need fat free mass the most, which is right before that important event to tighten up your skin.

This strategy works extremely well, give it a try!

When you add muscle right before a vacation or event, you will look outstanding in and out of clothes, and you won’t have that ‘flat muscle look’ from dieting down. If you understand how to strategically increase muscle size and density, you can create a visually stunning physique.

Here’s a Recap on Getting the Lean ‘Hollywood Look’

  • Lift for muscle density after you have enough mass.
  • Use Intermittent Fasting 1-2 days per week.
  • Use strategic cardio after most of your workouts.
  • After getting lean, quickly add muscle before an event.

I hope you enjoyed the article and have gained some valuable information as well. If this type of strategy is what you are looking for then you may want to check out the Visual Impact Muscle Building course from Rusty Moore.

It contains the complete and detailed information in the Visual Impact Muscle Building program for getting the lean Hollywood body you have always wanted.

How to Get the Lean Hollywood Look! – Part 1

March 1st, 2011 Comments off

Getting lean and defined requires a different type of lifting than how you see the majority of the guys lifting in the gym. You will need a greater understanding of how your body works and how it responds to different variations in weight, sets, reps, and eating patterns.

1. Heavy weights for density (NOT just light weight and high-reps).
2. Eat for low body fat percentage (but also have a social life).
3. Strategic Cardio to drop body fat & reveal crazy muscle tone (some other options are interval training, stair climbing, rope skipping, treadmill, sprinting, or elliptical machine).
4. Shrink Wrap your skin around your muscles.

You can maintain a lean Fight Club physique year round!

Step 1: Increase Muscle Size and Muscular Endurance

Here is how you lift for muscle mass:

  • Lift in the 8-15 rep range.
  • Do a high volume of sets and reps.
  • Aim to fatigue the muscle over the course of the workout.
  • Lift close to failure on each set.

Building muscle size is about breaking down the muscle, and you do this by lifting in a way that ‘fatigues the muscle’.

Step 2: Increase Muscle Density for Maximum Strength and Definition

Increasing Muscle Tone is about Maximum Tension NOT maximum fatigue. Nervous System Training is what causes a super-high level of muscle definition. Strength training is what increases the nerve impulses to the muscle. The more efficient your nervous system becomes the stronger and more toned you will get.

 

So how do you lift for muscle density?

  • Lift in the 2-5 rep range.
  • Pause in between each rep.
  • Rest 90-120 seconds between each set.
  • Avoid lifting to failure.

This seems to go against what everyone tells you and what you may have read in main-stream fitness and muscle building magazines.

Once it was explained to me in this way, it made a lot of sense: Stronger nerve impulses with the same muscle mass creates a stronger (and more defined) muscle.

At a body weight of 146 pounds Bruce Lee was easily able to bench press 315 pounds for multiple reps. (This was due to an efficient nervous system).

Step 3: Eating for a Low Body Fat Percentage

Eat 6 Meals Per Day to Stay Lean? NO! There is a radically different approach to eating that will allow you to stay around 6-8% body fat, year-round.

It is extremely hard to stay lean when you eat every few hours! All of those little meals quickly add up to 2,000-3,000+ calories. Creating a Calorie Deficit is the #1 Goal of Fat Loss.

Ways to create a calorie deficit:

- Eating less calories.
- Burning more calories.

You could actually get away with eating 1-2 times per day if you choose and still lose body fat, but most people will find it easier and more natural to eat 3-4 times per day. The point is that it does not matter how many meals you eat, you just need to focus on how many calories you take in, and the type of food you are eating.

What is another reason not to eat every few hours?


There’s a HUGE fat loss benefit to fasting from time to time. Brad Pilon is on the cutting edge of fat loss nutrition. His program on Intermittent Fasting called ‘Eat Stop Eat’ is a good program for staying lean year-round.

What Fasting and Exercise Have In Common:

  • Insulin levels drop (a good thing for fat loss).
  • HGH levels go up (your natural fat loss hormone).
  • Free fatty acids are released from fat cells (and can be used as fuel).
  • Amino acids get shuttled into muscle cells.
    Tip: For the most potent effect, go into a workout in a fasted state!

Obviously you can’t fast all of the time, otherwise your strength and muscle tone would drop considerably.

This is where Intermittent Fasting comes in:
1. Eat a normal amount of calories and meals 5 times per week.
2. Fast until dinner 2 times per week.
3. Eat a normal sized dinner on your fasting days (not a big dinner).
4. If possible, workout right before dinner on your 2 fasting days.

What is another problem with eating several meals per day?

You will constantly have food energy in your system and rarely give your body a chance to burn fat for energy. The 6 meal per day approach is at best only successful for a very small number of people, and at worst an unsustainable approach for everyone else.

If you want to lose body fat eat in a way that allows your body to use fat for fuel from time to time, as well as keeping in a calorie deficit.

Rusty Moore – Profile of Visual Impact Muscle Building’s Creator

rusty moore

Rusty Moore, the creator of Visual Impact Muscle Building, launched his blog called fitnessblackbook.com in June 2007.  His goal was to create a site which featured his training approach to get lean and get the ‘Hollywood body’.

He has been a personal trainer for 24 years in a gym setting, a fitness consultant for over 18 years, and considers himself a tireless researcher.  With the help of several other fitness experts who push the edge, he outlines advice and methods that flat out work.

Rusty Moore says that the massive bodybuilder look died in the 80′s, and has found that what men and women want today is a ’Hollywood body’.  This is an idea which is WAY ahead of the fitness mainstream.

Visual Impact Muscle Bulding:  This is the men’s course on building muscle without getting that ‘puffy’ and bloated bodybuilder look, and is the first muscle building product which focuses 100% on the lean ‘angular’ look.

Visual Impact for Women:  This is the women’s workout program for the Slim Feminine look. This course is for women who want to get fit and build muscle without getting big.
