Tell Me What YOU Want

Vegetarian meal plans and Business info!! Some people (like myself) want to start a training business and really don’t know where to start! Thanks Jay!

I’d personally like more general athletic training and sprinting/wide receiver training.

The vegetarian meal plans would also be a great tool. Calorie breakdowns by amount, etc. I find myself eating primarily fresh veggies, fruit, etc in the spring and summer but back to mainly meat in the fall/winter.

i think the mass building guide would be great. i havent finished mgs yet but i love the results so far and your the only guy id have drawing up my workouts

An advanced mass building guide would be great..A guide on how you train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength would also be nice. I’m also interested in seeing some of your vegetarian meal plans as well as a little bit of discussion on your business..how you got started at such a young age, what steps others could take if they were interested in starting a training business, etc.

Keep up the good work

I have purchased muscle gaining secrets and used it with great sucess. Without a doubt one of the most positively life changing things I have done is move towards veganism. It is more rewarding than any other decision Ive made and I owe it to Jason. I am not all the way there yet, but a book excellent VEGETARIAN RECIPES that will help improve my physique and fuel my body would be awesome.

Hardcore/Body Weight training DVD’s would be great, even after gymming a few years its good to be able to learn from a pro via visuals, little tips and tricks and adjustments in techniques to get out those extra plates. Pictures and text sometimes just don’t give enough. Might be good if you filmed one of your typical workouts, perhaps, like your monday/wed/fri where you just blast through it.

Yes and some extra time with the soccer girls =).

Keep rockin’.

Jason, I would like to see more information about the vegetarian meal plans you use…

1) mass building guide

2) Veggie meals plans

3) safety training methods

4) How to do exercises in perfect position (maybe this one is related to 3 )

5) more articles like this one: http://jasonferruggia.com/?s=iron+and+the+soul

5) TWO hours with the Argentinean team soccer (or Brazilian I don’t mind)

I would definitely like to see more football type training, specifically on how to throw the ball farther. How you train athletes would be wonderful too!

Hey Coach
I’d like to see more on A DVD guide on how you train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.
Cheers

A guide on how to bring up rear delts, bi’s, and calves would be SICK! Lets rock on this coach – I’m ready! Big time!

More of:

4) A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.

5) More MMA/ combat sport specific stuff

Jason,
A guide for someone who is going into the military and needs to do long distance running and a lot of sit up workout (working on timed 3-miles, long distance marches, and timed sit ups) alongside a strength/mass building program would be extremely helpful.

Thanks a lot.

How about something for the aging athlete? I played semi-pro football for the last 3 years at 45 years old but it tore me up pretty good. I have been rehabing a bum shoulder ever since…

Thanks for all you have already done! Good shit…

In no particular order:

1) An advanced mass building guide
2) Hardcore training DVD’s
3) Bodyweight training DVD/workouts
4) Maybe a podcast of some sort

Honestly I’ll take a look at any training related material you put out – but I would most like to see how you train athletes, with some more emphasis on showing correct technique for the important lifts. I would also like to see advanced mass building workouts, or maybe something geared toward non-hardgainers. Eric’s podcast idea is a good one, too.

An advanced mass building guide for the people who have been lifting seriously for years but still want to be bigger and stronger. Some type of multiple week program to follow that will show results for the people that are already in good shape but are never satisfied. You know, the jacked, but not jacked enough mentality.

Vegetarian meal plans for sure!

Topping my list would be (not in any order):

1) Body weight training DVD w/ booklet
2) Proper form DVD w/ booklet – for workouts that are effective, but dsngerous when done wrong/poorly.. i.e. Deadlifts
3) Advanced Mass Building Guide

I think #2 is actually the one I’d most like to see because I have preexisting back problems and worry about bringing them back if I do deadlifts wrong in any way… Or squats… :-/

Veggie meal plans. Bulking vegetarian is relatively easy, it’s the cutting/carb cycling part that throws me for a loop.

How about a Renegade gym in Atlanta, that would be badass!
Whatever you decide to put out j , i will very much look forward too
because your advice is always top shelf!
Thanks

I’m thinking a front view of the Argentinean girls soccer team…sans clothes?

An advanced mass-building guide would be awesome. Also, a guide that shows how we can (and how you) recover from a debilitating injury. We’re all hurt at some point; some of us make it back stronger, some of us struggle with getting to 80 percent.

Basketball training for guys that need to lose weight . Nobody ever takes into account that all basketball player dont want to look and lift like pre-pubecsent girls. lol

1. DVD about Renegade Gym…..similar to Defranco’s “Strong”

2. Training articles that cater to military/law enforcement…..only if there are special methods that you use differently.

……i’ll list more later when I have time.

1. a DVD about Renegade gym is definitely a good idea
2. business guides documenting how I built a six figure training business by 22 years old and what I have done to successfully grow that business since I started back in 1994 and more.
3. A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.

Out of the 3, #2 and #3 are probably what I am interested more right now

definitely an advanced muscle building guide for those who have gone past mgs.

a time efficient muscle building program for a population that has a 9 to5 and a family life (although MGS is pretty tight with that already)

DVDs….definitely – muscle building

Hey big Jay,

1) An advanced mass building guide

2) Hardcore training DVD’s

3) Bodyweight training DVD/workouts

4) A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.

5) Business related info

I personally find all your material quite useful including your song playlists. I suppose we can see this as a bonus. Keep posting up renegade gym promo’s, that shit gets me fired up and ready for battle!

hey sir …
im just thinking …after i’ve finished the MGS in minimum time ..what would be my next program then after the advanced phase ???
pls reply back … TNX =))

I’d love to see some articles in the vein of how-to setup a home gym, but focused more on the hardcore training facility. It seems to me that there’s a bit of a difference between putting a multi-press and a bench in your garage and carving out space for a prowler or rope training and it would be great to get your take on that. Along those lines, it would be great to get some advice on setting up a proper hardcore/renegade training facility for those looking to do it as an actual business venture.

And while this one is a bit more time consuming, Fit To Fight Volume 2 would be awesome. But you can never go wrong with more MMA and Combat Sports/Nutrition articles. Otherwise, just keep on keepin’ on!

please

- athlete diet around matchdays

- injury rehab and prehab exercises

nice picture btw

Hi Jason,

Bodyweight training DVD/workouts would be great,
also overall (hardcore) training DVD’s.

Many thanks for publishing MGS, really opened my eyes on training!

They all look pretty sweet but my top 3 would be,

1-football training
2-athlete training
3-hardcore training dvds

1) More advanced Muscle Building Info

2) MMA /Combat conditioning

Have done the entire MGS 1 with great success. Highly recommedn it.

I would like to see more stuff on training for martial arts performance.

1) Id really appreciate some ideas/samples of bodyweight conditioning workouts. As much as Id love to do prowler pushes, sled drags and other strongman type training, I dont have access to any of that type of equipment.

2) While I may be one of the few females on this site, it would be great to see a training program for girls who actually want to gain some muscle to obtain more of a figure competitior type look rather than just the average fit and “toned” physique of a swimsuit model.

3) A DVD similar to JD’s Strong would be awesome!

What do i want? I want you Jason.

Lovingly,
CB.

I also would like to see a a hardcore bodyweight training program or DVD for females. Any other females interested?

4) A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.

Also, any tips for tweaking the current maximum mass for a basketball player (conditioning and strength). I want to phsycially dominate my corporate league!

hello.

I like to see: Hardcore training DVD’s and something about MENTAL training.

hey coach, i would like to train myself for a 15 day bike trip into himalayas as of now so i plan to loose weight and add right muscle at right body parts by strengthing my thighs and legs. But going forward i’ll like to put on over all body muscle.

Thanks!!!

I think vegetarian meal plans would be a great idea or a guldeline especially for Indians especially those from Asia who tend to eat a lot of rice, curries, fried snacks etc would assist.

Weight training for 40 year old men. Do we need to train differently?

I am 61 former powerlifter with a best lifts of 800 squat 550 bench 650 dead I have been injured a lot in the last ten years both rotater cuff right knee ACL pec Havent lifted heavy in 5 years looking to get back into lifting Legs shot hurt all the time need some ideas on what to do have access to kettles and machines and free weights just looking to stay fit walk 5 miles a day but at at slow pace

Advanced mass building guide.

Quite simply I would like to see your take on a serious strength building routine with no regard for asthetics

Hey Guy

You have helped me SOOO much in my training, you have given me great tip on everything helping me to understand allot more about my body and how it works. You and Doberman Dan are the killers!! Being a tall skinny guy Its hard to gain anything but you guys give me hope and continue to motivate me, Thank you so much!!!

Just one problem though….I live in South Africa and would love to get hold of your material. Its a bit of a problem though trying to get American merchandise over here.

Any way keep it up, please continue to send your mails?!?

Kind Regards,
Len

More MMA/ combat sport specific stuff
please if you could talk a lot more about this subject

Hi Jason, you are awesome bro. I am 48 yrs young and have followed your MGS for about six months. I lift 3 days like to advise and cardio on the other 3 days. So, I am at the gym by 4:45 am Mon thru Fri before work.
What I would like to see are more workout routines to get me in “Sly Stallone Shape” as I call it. He has been an inspiration to me for years. He is still going strong at 62.
You can see him working out for his new movie “The Expendables” on youtube. I know you are very busy bro, but if you get a chance, check it out and let me know what I can do to be in “Sly Shape”.
Thanks for all your help.
Stay Strong and Live Long Brother…

Hi Jason!
I would like to see info and tips on hardcore strength(for both bodyweight and gym training) and diet plans for both weight gain and weight loss(if there are any for this one).
I appreciate and respect your effort and contribution for the health and fitness sector.
God bless you
AMEN
…………………………..

I would definitely like to see more workouts and information to cater for MMA and gymnastics.

Developing sheer strength and mass for the sake of it can be great but being able to use that to promote greater movement and agility is much more appealing than becoming a stocky ‘bouncer’ type figure who can barely walk they are so big. I guess this would constitute:

* Bodyweight training material – with the purpose of developing gymnastic ability and body.

* Training for explosive power and speed with flexibility and agility for acrobatics

Vegetarian meal plans, and a mass building guide at a lower price point (perhaps Muscle Gaining Secrets Master Manual alone, at a lower price?).

Keep up the great work!!!

Regards
Jay

I’m going to say all of the above.

So much is already out there on the topic of training. I want to learn from you your personal system or methodology on what you’ve learned, what works for you and makes you unique. That way I can expanded my knowledge base. I can take what I like from there and enhance my skills by trying new things.

I am a retired military guy, former airborne/ranger, who has stayed in good condition all my life. I am now 72 and still maintain a good physique. How about something for the older guys who may not have had my experience? It is saddening to see many guys my age using walkers and having a hard time doing things I take for granted. I even pole dance at clubs in Odessa. I live in Ukraine now.

During my career I stayed in condition for my job. Now I have another motive, women. My GF is a beautiful blond 24 year old actress in Uklraine.

hey Jason,
fist, let me thank you about your useful suggestons, regarding how to workout wisely, im really interested in the topcs below, and i got two questions that i had around my mind:
a) push ups, chin ups can i do it everyday?
b) bikeriding, i saw your article yesterday talking about trainng and conditioning.so i use my mountainbike 3 days per week, 45 intense/minutes.
am i doing rigth?, my goal is to lose stomach fat and gain lower muscles and phisical condition is it well done?

Marco Antonio

Exercise, drills and progrems for developing explossive leg power. Thanks J.

I would to see more strength and mass building topics. I am in search of the 800 bench and getting close to it, but I want more raw power. I can bench 550 for a good solid 3 reps and want to 600 raw for 3-5 reps. I train 5 days a week, 1 body part per day, and spend about 1.5 hrs in the gym with 3 of us lifting. What would you recommend for me? Thanks for all the great articles that you write.

I would like to see a high protein veggie diet as well as an intermediate upper and lower routine, what exercises you do on what day.

I’d definitely appreciate more info on bulking and cutting on a vegetarian diet.
The tweets are already helpful. But to actually have specific macronutrient requirements for each meal would be excellent and definitely worth paying for.

Hi Jason,

I’m facinated by your emphasis on using real food as muscle building fuel, instead of supplements (e.g. Chocolate milk as post-workout drink). Would like to see more of that. I’ve done a few cost/quality comparisions on my own (Milk vs. whey powder, etc.) but I’m interested in learn more of YOUR views on it, since you and you clients have “lived it” longer.

My pick from your list is:
7) Bodyweight training DVD/workouts

Many thanks!

Jesse
Tallahassee, FL

Hi Jason, I would like to see ‘More MMA/ combat sport specific stuff’ and ‘Bodyweight training DVD/workouts.’ I would also like to see fat loss plans as well.

Thank you.

Bodyweight training DVD/workouts please!! Don’t like going to the gym. I think training @ home is better. Thanks Jason!!

1) An advanced mass building guide
4) A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.

Proper techniques and tricks for mass building exercises. Bench, Deadlifts, Dips – There are so many styles. Which is best?

Thanks for everything, Jason. I appreciate your hard work. It keeps office cubicle prisoners like myself, sane.

Yo Jason

I would like More MMA/ combat sport specific stuff, how to get the body of a mma/ufc-fighter

Hi Jason,

I’d like to see specific training routines for starters!!! Also you can include more training videos.
BTW, keep up the excellent work you’ve done so far showing us tips & tricks.

hi jason,,, u have something to write for insulin dependent diabetics who wana get big?

4) A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.
Sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And please, tell us with right words and with full measure of all!
I appreciate thy help!

some info on foot/ankle strength with regards to speed and becoming more explosive i believe some people are losing out on using a lot of there body strength because of poor feet/ankle and most probably dont know it

I am all about atheltic perfomance, i.e. item (4) in your list except for size. I’d like to get more on how to train for power, speed, strength and conditioning. I think size should come in proportion to strength, power and speed and not a pound or inch more.

Javier

i want to see more training in general for explosive power, speed, conditioning and strength. I am not so interested in size that comes with time but strength and speed i am most interested in.

jay, i would like to see more articles and templates on how you train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.
alot of us are masters athletes and don t have the r.o.m for cleans, our joints ache and we need something a bit different. it is great to see the templates because we cant be there to train with you.
you have always been great to take my calls and emails but i know that we are both busy and it is hard to answer right away.
thanks my friend.
david larkan

Thanks for your newsletters.I have made big strides using your advice.
Keep up the good work.

How you train athletes as well as alternative foods/protein shakes for vegetarians as well as people with allergies to dairy, wheat etc.

I’m allergic to dairy and can’t really find a protein shake that I can buy. I’m an ectomorph so I need all the easy calories i can get.

hardcore traing dvd’s, training for explosive power,speed, size, conditioning and strength.

1) An advanced mass building guide
3) Football training guide

Thanks,

I think some more football workout’s as well as some circut routine’s in general.

Bodyweight training DVD/workouts

Jason,

I would be interested in short, intense workouts or any type of time saving efficient techniques. Also, anything on powerlifting or getting stronger and not necessarily bigger would be good. From your list, I’d choose #4). Thanks.

would love to see 1/ vegetarian meal plans 2/MMA combat sports….especially i would like to see how you would train someone who wants to increase strength and power endurance without going up in weight (just had a hip replacement, and the surgeon said “the more you weigh, the sooner you see me again”) There must be many athletes out there who need strength without a lot of size gain (MMA athletes, boxers, wrestlers, rock climbers, triathletes, etc.)

I personally would love to see an EFFECTIVE women’s training dvd/workout video! I train at Renegade and have seen such great results, for the future if I cant make classes, etc it would be awesome to have something I can pop in the dvd player!

Mass building
Vegetarian meals

I’d love to hear more about your thoughts on bodybuilding-style training…

More Combat Specific Training.
Mass gaining is easy. Eat alot and lift heavy, also more mass does not translate to better athletic skill, so maybe more on proper athletic development.
Also, thanks for not using the words crank, kill, and rock, when describing training.

I’d like to see more of :

1) Home Gym Warrior type workouts
2) Vegetarian meal plans
3) Bodyweight workouts

I have a limited amount of space for equipment and all of the training facilities in my area are packed with machines, very few free weights.

Thanks for helping in my quest to get big.

Some hardcore female training stuff would be awesome! Also, the business info you mentioned.

Thanks!

I would like more of those short sharp quick mass building workouts. My time is scarce and although I have been training for a long time don’t seem to have put on any real size for again, a long time.

Great site!!

Hey,

Firstly the site is great already and packed full of great information.

In terms of what else I’d like to see:

-More athletic training programs/examples/tips etc (function over form and not just size for size’s sake)
-Bodyweight only training articles
-Training for the time poor (what to do when you can only get the gym on a very tight schedule (once/twice a week for a period of time)
-More nutrition tips (bulking and cutting)
-Program design

more bonus in MGS :
MGS for athletes
MGS for conditioning

Dig your emails – I really like your youtube vid’s. Drives the point home.
Would like to hear about training hard – but staying out of rehab once you in your 40′s. Everytime I ramp up my training something new, tears, flairs, or at least requires 3 days of ice….

How you train athletes for explosive power, speed, etc
Vegetarian meal plan

Hi Jason,
The advice is always good! But if I had to prioritise it would be
- bodyweight and hardcore training with some visuals thrown in
- advanced mass building.
Keep up the good work.

Jay,

#3,4, and #9 for sure. Anything about football training, getting guys stronger and more explosive, and business would be great.

I think your instincts are great; I’ve really appreciated all the stuff you’ve sent thus far.

1. a bodywieght workout DVD – or online version I could download –
2. how to train athletes
3. hardcore training workouts
4. and how to train football players (maybe put this at number three)

Thank you!!

I would like to know how to get a proper six pack. I have myself only a upper 2 pack and the my other abtomen muscles aren’t as good looking as the upper ones. What am i doing wrong and how to improve it?

How to slow down my fat metabolism. What exactly to eat, at what time and frequency? Any regimen. I need to have big pecs and a Six pack abs. Thnks!

vegetarian meal plans
business plans

I wonder if u could send me an full body workout-process i got alout of time to training now so.
Should be nice if u send what im not going to train too

Hi Jason,

i dont receive a lot of email, but, when i receive an email from you i am very happy, because, i like to read stuff about training, and i know, if it come from you, it is credible.

i would like to know more about athlete training, speed, power, strenght and conditioning.

i would love to know more about martial arts training, like teakwondo

and if we create some workout, (for my self, i am a kinesiologue, i study at montreal university in physical activities) but, i am not a god, i dont know every thing, and i always want to know more)

my question is, if we have some workout, can we ask you what you think about my or our different stuff, and i would like to know your suggestion. that would be nice.

have a good day
Olivier Belanger

number 1 on your list for sure, people need direction after they finish mgs, to minimize trial-and-error and guesswork… and 4 on your list would be good also, but i was thinking about number one today, before i received your email… so a mgs sequel would be perfect

Hi,jason,
first of all thanks for all your info and visiuals.
Unfortunatly I’m one of those guys who can,t seem to improve on bodybuilding because of my lifestyle,don’t get me wrong I’m self motivated but work continental shifts which excuse the french fucks me up mentally and physcially.I’m married with 3 kids 10 years,5years and 2 years.I have to work and the way things are nower days options are minimal.
when I get to my heaviest weight something always crops up,so I find myself starting all over again by the time i get back into it.{ shed out back with bench and free weights.}I will succeed.
If you could provided more visuals on all body part,aspecially calfs because no matter what I do they seem to get thinner.{SPEGGTI LEGS}THATS ME.
kEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.PS weekly mustle gain food schedule wood be great,keep in mind family of five to feed.
CHEERS BEST OF LUCK.

I definetly want to check out some more vegetarian meal plans and some business info would be cool as well.

1) An advanced mass building guide
2) Hardcore training DVD’s
3) Football training guide
4) A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.
5) More MMA/ combat sport specific stuff
6) Vegetarian meal plans
7) Bodyweight training DVD/workouts
Other sports specific ideas/programs etc. (e.g. Rugby, Ice Hockey)

Bodyweight training DVD/workouts

I’d loved to see something about HIIT with dumbbells

More body part specific tips & workouts would be great – in particular how to put on size fast for shoulders, neck and chest – my particular problem areas for making gains – I’m sure everyone else has others!

Keep up the great work – a regular inspirational email/kick up the a** is making a huge difference!

1)A DVD to go along with Muscle Gaining Secrets would be pretty sweet.
2)An advanced mass building guide.
3)More MMA/ combat sport specific stuff
4)Bodyweight training DVD/workouts

Hi I would like to see a advanced mass building routines also fat loss plans.

Shit yeah man. I would personally like more hardcore training DVD and bodywieght training and workout DVDs.

Hi,

I´d like to see more of:

1) An advanced mass building guide
2) Nutrition
3) Fat loss

Thanks

If you create a DVD of any sort, perhaps an appendix where you show alternative exercises. For instance, I had read about a ‘Dork Row’, but no illustrations. I have shoulders that don’t always like heavy overhead press, but upright rows have never been a problem. I don’t do upright rows as a staple, so maybe I haven’t done them consistently enough to create a chronic injury. Info like this would be great.

1) Business related info
2) A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.
3) Vegetarian meal plans

I would prefer:
3) Football training guide
4) A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.

I mean its a lot of this stuff out there, but I’d like to see how you do it.

i compete in the scottish highland games, i would love to see some articles on sports specific lifting for sports like mine [or track and field, more field than track] other than that love the website and the newsletter, keep up the great work

i want more muscle and body byuildin time table

Hey
everythign you mentioned sounded amazing and would be brilliant!
But i am specifically interested in the business section especailly as i am a young guy trying to get into and to have half the succuss you had would be fantastic!

I would like some healthy mass gaining shake recipes like the oatmeal,protein powder,olive oil shake some good clean solid mass building shakes..

Also meal plans but more details have a section say you choose mass building go across the chart to your weight then to the next step on and on then a detailed 5 or 6 meal plan

More concretely I wanna know how to be ripped and bulked like a football player (tomlinson, owens or NBA player Lebron James).
So..
1) Football training guide
2) A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.

It’s possible to achieve it only at the gym?

Thanks Jason!

I like everything that has been sent to me so far.I use it everytime I lift and the advice helps.I would like maybe some more workout plans and diets.

Recovery –

I actually started reading you because you were the first person to talk about the importance of recovery. I’d love to hear more.

Hey Jay,

I’ve got 6 weeks of MGS left so I’d be interested in an advanced mass building guide, especially if it included guidelines about unloading using high reps as you outlined in a previous posting.

Business related info is always useful, especially as I’ve run my own one-to-one studio for the last 5 years and am interested in making it busier.
Info on vegetarian meal plans would be very useful too.

I think you could combine the football training guide with a guide on training athletes for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.

Thank for all the great info to date.

All the best.

Cris

1.> Techniques

Proper techniques to add pounds to my bench press/squat – different tricks to try to get the weight up. I didn’t realize until last week I had been bench pressing incorrectly (after watching the Dave Tate video) and after fixing it am now benching 300 # 3 RM, up from 265 # 3 RM. That and more motivational advice and motivational videos, to keep people pumped. No more images of small people in your gym – it’s uninspiring.

MMA Training as well as Bodyweight Training/DVDs, I cant get enough of that.

4) A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.
5) More MMA/ combat sport specific stuff

will be great

Number four definitely. I find that your information and techniques regarding training athletes for explosive speed and power are always practical and effective. I would love to see a book or something on that.

I think advanced mass building, dvd, and more mma/combat training

I would like to see a diet and training regimen for men that will increase muscle mass and lose fat especially around the waist. A six pack set of abs is always in style.

it’s probably not your specialty, but i would like to know about fat loss. Everything else i’ve read of yours is great and if it’s not your specialty, could you point us in the right direction of someone who knows. Because right now my goal is fat loss and i have 35 lbs. to loose. I really like everything you write about building muscle and keep up the good work.

hardcore training, mma/combat related articles, strongman ideas, and business stuff would be great

More MMA/Jiujitsu combat sports stuff
Older guy mass building guide

Definitely body weight training.

I’d like to know how to correct assimetry in size and strenght

I am 53 years old. I love bodybuilding and working out. I read so many different ways to work out. I have a fast metabolism and don’t gain mass too quickly. I would like to know how many sets per bodypart do you recommend for someone my age and any other advice you could give me. I would appreciate any help you would give to us middle-aged guys. Thank you.

getting the upper body shaped up big time! eg. upper chest and delts

A guide on how u train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.

Business related ideas on weight loss and training and body weight training

An advanced mass building guide and bodyweight workouts. maybe a combination of the two! thanks =]

I’m in the military and I deploy alot. I don’t always have access to the best equipment so I have to get creative or alter some of your routines. I like routines to help with mass and strength. On another note I am also limited to eat whatever the chow hall has to offer. Maybe some meal plans of foods I can find in the chow hall. I love your routines and I am currently on phase 3 of Maximum Mass and thus far I am noticing impressive strength gains that I have never seen before! Thanks!

Vegetarian meal plans

Since I started practicing Brazilian Jiu jitzu (and keep on doing MGS) it would be cool to have strength training that could be more specific to the sports.
5) More MMA/ combat sport specific stuff

hi
i would like to see high intensity weights workouts,burn lots of calories,and at the same time build mass, and increase aerobic levels.

thank you
kris.

you have told me that we should not do exercise more than 30 or 40 minutes but who are proffessional body builders like ronny colemen and jay cultler they serve their time many time in a day so what is the difference and also tell me that when we takes steroids than if we will do exercise more than 30 40 minutes or 2 hour or 3 hour than size will increase more or when we will do 30 – 40 minutes by taking steroids than size will increase more. tell me please.

i would say that i am mostly interested in:
A guide on how you train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.
Bodyweight training DVD/workouts
Business related info.
and last but not least- how to loose belly fat.
i need to lose about 40 pounds

Mass building guide/DVD. I’m working through MGS and love it. I’d like to see more material with additional workouts and additional tricks to switch things up.

I would like to learn about high volume heavy lifting geared at building strength.
Two examples that come to my mind are
1. Bulgarian/Russian weightlifting.
2. Paul Anderson’s innovations.

How to build up to such strenuous workouts?
Would GPP like walking with a heavy weight on the shoulders for a long distance be more effective than conventional routines to prepare your body for high volume heavy work?
Are steroids indispensable in this case?

An advanced mass building guide and bodyweight workouts would be great. Far too often do I find my self stuck in worth less hotels with no equipment to use. Great stuff Jason.

An advanced mass building guide, Hardcore training DVD’s, Bodyweight training DVD/workouts & Business related info.

Thanks for being so concern =)

Another thing…could you provide training suggestions for getting & mainaining a huge arm (bicep & tricep). I have bee having a hard time to get the best result for this part of my body. Thak you.

1,2,3,4,7.
All of your infomation is very useful
Thanks!!!

Id love an advanced muscle building guide aswell as a guide on how you train athletes or MMA fighter

Thanks for listening to our suggestions mate!

Bodyweight Training… I SERIOUSLY need your help, J!
I was hospitalized for 3 weeks & nearly died, lost 20lbs. of muscle mass & was put on Coumadin (blood thinner mediation). I am prohibiited from strength training for 6 months; they are afraid I may tear tendon & the muscle will calcify …I think (?). What can I do to try to build some strenghth back without heavy resistance training?! Please help.

Definitely these two:

1) An advanced mass building guide
7) Bodyweight training DVD/workouts

Preferably combined?? That would be awesome.

Thanks,
Anton

What would your advice to a triathelite, as i don’t know what to do this year: bulk up or train long distance for the events. can i do both, realise I will have to eat insane amounts of food- that doesn’t bother me, the only thing that does bother me is if it leads to no progress. So maybe what I’m proposing is a training plan saying, when (if it can be done) to swim, cycle or run and when to work out.
Thank you for taking your time to help us out, it’s much appreciated. And could i know asap because it starts soon

Sir Iwant to become just like Batista . Tell me what do I have to do for that . tell me the diet I have to use . and what kind of exercise I HAVE TO DO TO BECOME . JUST LIKE BATISTA. WWE CHAMP

Information on Alkaline diets and its relationship to MMA training.

What ever you write, I will read.
But my top three would be, in no particular order, vegetarian eating plans,
a follow up of Fit To Fight and guidelines for a strength and fitness business..
Come to think of it if you could make some DVD’s on correct form and technique, it would definitely rock..

Another thing would be more strongman training…
I really do get a ton of enjoyment from swinging sledge hammers, picking up kegs and other odd shaped heavy things..

A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.

I have been lifting weights for 35 years and am now 51…I would love to see some suggested programs for strength training for people my age. I really appreciate the tips and hints you always provide…Many thanks

From your list , an advanced mass building guide would be my first choice. Personally, I would like to see more information on muscle building and general conditioning for those of us over 50 years old. I don’t know if this would be of interest to your overall customer base, but more information on this subject would be very helpful. Thanks for asking.

Would like to see more of #4 and #8 on the list. thanks Jason!

this isn’t on the list, but how do you feel about incorporating Hot Yoga into a training program. I know it doesn’t build huge muscle gains, but it’s a hell of workout for your mind and body. Is there a chance hot yoga could reduce muscle gaines because of the high calorie count you burn? Is it bettet to do yoga the day before or after your hardcore weight session?

Cheers,

Andrew

Me vote for 4 n 7.
Bodyweight exercises are my fav ones so i really want more of them ^^
and about 4…. i need some good polymeric exercises or a sample program cuz i really need to dunk asap

Business info… and how you are dealing with the economic crisis. Also training ideas for traditional martial artists.

All of the above……
but with info and tips aimed at Women who want to burn fat and build muscle !

muscle mass gaining. i work out at least once a week. im 6feet tall and 140 pounds

overall strength training with emphasis on olympic and power lifts (exercises, techniques etc.).
as far as mass building goes (genetics aside) trouble areas such as calf and forearm development.

thanks

HI Jason,

We would like to have more of hardcore Excercise Video materials, as well as some more stress on proper breathing and concentration points while exercising the respective parts.

Thanks and sumit

Jason U are Doing great bro,got lots of ideas from ur articles,I am an asian so would u pliz guide us a diet plan for gaining mass as our staple diet is rice,chicken curry, Thanks a lot.

You could put together a calendar of the Argentinean girls soccer team. That way we could have a new one each month!

Seriously though, I would like to see some live training sessions from The Renegade Gym. Smitty has done a few on his site and the are always fun to watch and educational at the same time. It can be hard to understand the true intensity that one should have when a lot of us work out in the big box gyms.

I’d even be willing to pay to watch if said training featured the previously mentioned Argentinean girls soccer team!

I personally am constantly looking for information to train for:

1. Rugby
2. Strongman
3. Highland games

In/out of season, with weights, diets, etc……

and of course kick ass music for training!

Hey Jay,
great bunch of comments for you to work through…
to keep it short:
-vegetarian meal plans for muscle gains-you could also show your weekly grocery list or video\written fridge\cupboard contents.
-athlete training and conditioning
-business plans and info.
-video posts of you or your athletes training
-a program like Joe D’s ‘skinny bastard’
Either way, whatever you put out is great and informative….interest is always there.
Matt
p.s the olive oil thing is still not up to par for me lol!

It’s already been mentioned but definitely Vegetarian Meal Plans.

I’ve been going to a Naturopathic Doctor trained here in Canada but who went back to China years ago to train in Chinese medicine with his father’s masters and he is highly recommending I move to a more vegetarian diet (meat occasionaly is ok) centred around beans/lentils, chickpeas and a ton of greens.

Currently my idea of eating vegetables is having tomatoes on my burgers lol

HELP!

Jason;
information on how you train basketball players

different training programs for different body type. (as in body type not part. )
diet for ripped body.

thanks! you rock!!!!

Hello Jason,
I saw a lot requests about mass building routines,and I agree with them.But what about routines for people who have to work 7 days a week (WIHT HALF OF THEM LABOUR WORK) without any off day and have to workout late in the afternoon.
I am saying this because when I tried the 3 days per week training like you advocate in your book at first I get ok but after I began to useing some good weights , I get sick or I feel like I can’t lift 1 pound and have to take some off days.
So after many tries I came to the conclusion to add an off day to the regimen and see what happens like day1 ,off,off ,day2 off,off, day3,off,off …..
Also when I train like you advocate I tend to get stronger thats for sure but on a muscle hypertrphy there’s minimal change,what do you think?
And by the way I am 34 years,6′ at 270 pounds @ 20%fat coming from a little bit of lay off.
need to lose that fat first ehh LOL…
Gaetano
P.s I have to deal with some injuries too , came with weigh training too

Hi, Coach
Im from india, Ur absolutely great i have learned a lot from ur mails about body building,diet etc.Before3 months i have joined gym & working hard i got good shape, but i want bulk ,i want to look BIG,strong. One of my cousin who himself was a body builder told me about Nandrolone deconate & dianabol(steriods).He told me within a period of one month of usage u will get ultimate results.So i just want to know from u whether i should use it or not.

hi

love all the help you send out. i would love to see some more stuff on moving your on body. such as push ups, dips, chin ups. those sort of things.

Hello Jason,
First off I want to express my thanks for all the great info you constantly share with the public. So many people attach a price tag to what you offer and you need to hear how much your time and knowledge is appreciated. Now it’s time to pick your brain again, lol.
I’m one of those lucky guys who slowly but surely gains muscle every year. And my main goal has been and always will be to get stronger and bigger! I love how it makes me feel, but as i get older (i’m 46) i’m becoming very interested in cleaner eating with the focus on more plant based and less meat centred nutrition. So if you have any info or sites that you can sent my way i’d greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for everything

I indeed appreciate your effort to get us fit,ripped and pumped up.My heart’s desire is to advice me on mass building for hardgainers without staying long in gym,and what should the skinny eat and not eat to gain muscles
thanks alot

Jason

(1), (2) and (4) from your list. Maybe some stuff on the most effective way to lose body fat.

Past 40 beginner again, suggestions and inspire that could ignite the spark again. Damn, I think I lift weights eons ago. I want to to lift again but the purpose is allways on the mind!!

Hi Jay,
I want to tell you are my biggest source of inspiration and of course knowledge. I read all your articles fot more than a half year. My point of view on the whole issue of getting big and cut is more relevant.

I also want to train people and having great results with them so I appreciate more articles about points:
(1) getting more mass
(4) increasing abilities
(7) and bodyweight exercises
(8) some business info

and also point that was not mentioned – guide to lose body fat fast.

I wish you success! Your methods kicking ass…

I’m a Lacrosse player and a MMA fighter and i would like to hear more about training athletes. maybe more athlete programs and/or templates. I’m also interested in going vegetarian and i would like to know more about the meal plans.

4) A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.
5) More MMA/ combat sport specific stuff
6) Vegetarian meal plans

Jason,

I’d like to see more on integrating exercise/body building into the whole of life: mental, physical, spiritual, emotional. It’s pretty clear you believe they are all parts of the whole and that when they are in sync we are at our best. How can we achieve that?

Thanks for helping me grow.

Hey Jason,

I love your blog, MGS, forum, and FTF. Your writing style and attitude towards training are awesome.

What I would like to see from you is more articles, books, etc. geared towards guys that aren’t skinny hard gainers but rather average guys that want to put on a bunch of muscle and lose a bunch of fat. Body recomp if you will.

I think there are a lot of us out there that need both fat loss and muscle gain, and want to be bad asses in the weight room and on the playing field of life.

help with mass building for someone that find it hard to put on muscle no matter what they do as i am at this stage,thanks

Jason

Your system has really changed my life. I really do appreciate what you have done and the system you have produced is phenomenal. I would love to see more:
1) body weight exercises
2) sport specific training systems (i.e. football, lax, crew, etc.)
3) an in depth guide on how to turn training into a career.
Thanks for all you have done for all of us!

Jason

One question about “pump” From what i understand the pump is blood getting trapped in your muscles after lifting. Why do some say go for it and others say it doesn’t matter.

Isn’t it through your blood that nutrients are carried to your body? So why then wouldn’t the “pump” be beneficial?

Also 4 and 6 from your list

Nutrition for the busy working man. So many meal plans are way too complex and are not designed for the busy american / family man life. Quick mass building meals combined with 45 minute workouts would be the balls….

Jason,
Great work all around!
Some tips for longtime trainers who are starting to feel the aches of many years of heavy duty training. Specifically a BAD shoulder!
1-
Would like some info for training hard around significant injuries or remedying them. For example: Shoulder injury… how to train shoulders, chest if you have an injured shoulder.
2-
Vegetarian based meal plans for muscle growth.

Definitely more on training rugby, rugby league, NFL style athletes on explosive speed, conditioning and strength

Here’s what I would like:

An advanced mass building guide
Hardcore training DVD’s
A guide on how I train athletes in general for explosive power, speed, size, conditioning and strength.
Bodyweight training DVD/workouts
Tons of vids taken at Renegade’s (i.e. the bear crawl, battling ropes)

The DVD’s are really what I would be the most looking forward to.

Well what I’d like to know personnaly is how could I gain weight? I’ve tried everything from carbs to protein to nuts to pasta to lots of meat and currently eating like a monster… I weight around 170 lbs and gain 1lbs last year

Hi Jason,

Thanks for all ur hard work.

These are my favourite topics.

5) More MMA/ combat sport specific stuff.
7) Bodyweight training DVD/workouts.

Thanks & best regards,
Delon,

well where i want to get is a bit bigger chest. i really want to get my abs showing a bit more… and what is of greatest interest to me is my verts i am 5′ 7″ i consider myself short and for a beach volleyball player i need all the verts that i can get my hands on i am about 1′ over the net but its not enough which is a mear 2′ leap i need atleast a foot more of verticals!!!! what do u suggest?????

Your topic selection is good. It’s varied and so offers different ideas to
keep me moving on with training. Please don’t think any of your emails goes
unread.
Sometines I print them out and drop copies at the gym on the reading table
or pass they on to friends.
You’ve confirmed a lot to me about reps and low weighs and then heavy
weights. I’ve actually been lifting more than I was before. At 58 I’ve
gotten up to 250 on the bench and I’m working toward 300.
On reps I’ve been getting 3 sets of up to 30/50 reps of 95 to 115.
You notes on all things healthy are good.
Bob
