Rusty Jeffers - Hit Each Bodypart Twice a Week, No Same Workout

Rusty Jeffers said "I never have the same workout" on the forum of Bodybuilding.com.

"Please, that is a really really basic type of workout and stop counting your reps, you're killing me, 12??? TRY 15 TO 20!! Remember, no one ever has the same workout, unless they're really new into this, so if you are new, this is great. Don't think pros do the same stuff, I never have the same workout. I guess that comes with experience. I just do what I feel like, with time you'll learn new exercises and branch out from there. Looks good, but yes, you have to hit each bodypart 2X a week. Once isn't enough unless you're doing a Mentzer type workout. Remember it's only probably 40% training, make sure you get enough protein, often enough. If it was all training, everyone would look incredib.e No one pays or learns enough about their diet to really make anything of their training."

Rusty Jeffers - Repetitions

Rusty Jeffers posted his comments on the best repetitions for muscle growth onto the forum of Bodybuilding.com. Here is the content of his message:

"I cycle my rep ranges all the time, for instance I do more reps in a workout, and less another time. It depends on what I'm doing and feeling. The 5 x 5 is just for a basic off season heavy training. The 12 -20 rep range I use for longer periods of time than I do the 5 x 5 because my joints can only take so much of that. We're doing high rep workouts now with sets of 50-and 100 reps on leg presses and we do lunges for time, example: a 5 minute set of lunges, you just lunge for 5 minutes straight, and of course you have to use a moderate weight to do that. Same thing with squats a 5 minute set...put 135lbs on the bar and just go. Usually as a finishing movement........"
