What’s up guys? I hope you had an awesome weekend. I just wanted to let you know that my brand new Minimalist Training ebook is out today and on sale now, for the next three days only.
It’s got over 15 full training programs and more than THREE YEARS worth of workouts in there.
This is a compilation of some of my favorite programs that I have used over the last 23 years in the Iron Game.
The best part is they are all simple, Zen-like programs with no more than three exercise per workout and no overly complicated formulas or techniques to add to the confusion and stress in our already busy lives.
This is the ultimate resource for personal trainers and strength coaches as it gives you a huge collection of simple, yet brutally effective workouts to use with your clients.
For everyone else, Minimalist Training will be your guide to rapid gains in size and strength throughout 2011 and beyond.
Click HERE to check it out now.
I think you’ll really like it.
Thanks for the support, guys. I always appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.
Train smart,
Jay

I’ve just read through it and glanced over the workouts. I notice their isn’t anything to do with nutrition? Will this be added or should we just stick to the principles you outline in the blog post Minimalism:Nutrtion?

Probably not. It’s already a few hundred dollars worth of info in there. I started writing a nutrition section then I realized that the ebook was called Minimalist Training and didn’t think it was necessary.
Stick with the principles listed in the post. Fast for at least 12 hours every day, eat only whole, organic foods. If your goal is to gain size make sure your calories are high enough but not so high that you gain fat. If your goal is to lose fat make sure that your calories are low enough but not so low that you lose muscle.

@mark: Thanks, Mark. There are a lot of workouts in Minimalist Training that would be great to do after finishing Triple Threat.

If you were to give a guide to a 19 year old guy who hasn’t trained for the last 6 months, which guide would it be? Muscle Gaining Secrets? Triple Threat Muscle? or Minimalist Training?

@Vimal: Probably Muscle Gaining Secrets.

Hey Jason,
I’ve been training for about 4 or 5 years, but only in the last year or so have I started to do it properly with the right exercise selection, frequency, etc. Where do you think I should start? Raw beginner, beginner/intermediate or intermediate?
Thanks for the great workouts and keep up the good work.

@alex: Intermediate.

@Gianni: Thanks, man.
@chuck- I’m not sure about that. Yes, all the exercises are barbell, dumbbell and bodyweight.

Jason,
I enjoyed reading the articles abvout Minimalism. I’m one of the overwhelmed people who can’t seem to just stick with one “philosphy” on excercise, get overwhelmed and then just sit on the coach. Anyway.
I wanted to know if the book was downloadble to an ipad or like device once I buy it?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hey Jason,
One more question. Can the majority of the excercises in the book be done using the home gym equipment you outline in article #1?
Thanks,
Chuck

Just 3 exercises per day and you call it Hypertrophy?
I think you mean by hypertrophy is like David Beckham?!
Please Jason, write a program to make us look like Branch Warren or Phil Heath!

@Ahmad Al Sawad: You’s in the wrong place, homie. And you selected the wrong parents and drug cycle for those goals.

I just got the copy OMG this is so cool basics at its best . All the basic mass builders. I am going to hold off to start this in Febuary as I am doing a current program very similar. What people don’t understand is this is about getting strong and putting on some good muscle with proper eating. How many people have you ever seen in the gym military press more then 185 for reps or deadlifts 400 for reps and squat 450 for reps none its to much hard work. I just love the simplicity of this program. great stuff jason!

For a “minimalist” program, what do you think would be a minimum and optimal time for the programs? With my schedule I generally have to keep workouts to 30-40 minutes, and I sometimes end up dropping sets off of a program to do this. I am hoping that due to the minimalist nature of the programs, they might actually lend themselves more easily to fitting into a tight time-frame when required… Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this!

Jason – Just bought it and at first glance really like what I see. One question though: I am not familiar with some of the lifts you include (“Cossack squat”? No idea). Anywhere I can go to get more detail on proper form/technique? Thanks much. B

Jason, I am new to the site and love all the valuable stuff so far, especially the frequency eating and nutritional guides, good on ya, question though I want to order your Minimalist Training but wanted to know if you include set ,rep, weight range etc in the work out guides?

Jason i figured i would use the same post- sorry for the 2 posts, i got your minimalist training book GREAT! but for some one using a 3 Lifts a Day- 3 Different Workouts- Microperiodization I am confused with the right weight to use in each 2 week span and how to increase the weight? do i start at a percentage of my max? set 1-4 with 8 reps and the 4 set is the heaviest, i am totally confused.
cheers man.

Tomorrow I will do day 3 of the first “Minimalist Training” routine. I am excited about just focusing on 2 exercises and working my ass off! Reading this book was like an epiphany. The body is a single unit, not a collection of parts. Why do routines need to be complex? Are my muscles impressed by Excel spreadsheets?
Thank you for bringing us back to reality.

Are the workouts in this book mainly for gaining mass or are there workouts geared for losing bodyfat as well?

Jason – I love the idea of “minimalist training”. As a competing grappler, I’m always looking to get more from less in my strength training. Question – is this the best Ferruggia product for me? I train on the mats 4 times a week and would be trying to get 2 days of strength training in during the rest of the week. Thoughts?
Thanks for everything you bring to the game!

I bought the program and like it. I do have one question though. I can ‘t seem to find the number for my workup set. You outline how to get there but it goes backwards from that number. If the reps are to stay the same for the 3 weeks do I start at week 1 with a weight that is below my RM and ramp it up each week so that on week 3 it is my RM weight?
Thanks

Jason-I want to start training minimalist style, but my one concern is developing muscle imbalances by not doing enough different exercises. Do you think this might be a problem form training this way for too long? Thanks.
