Visual Impact Muscle Building by Rusty Moore April 30, 2011 at 1:38 pm
Let’s talk about an intriguing muscle developing course called, “Visual Impact Muscle Building,” by Rusty Moore. It is fascinating since he has a incredibly distinctive take on what constitutes a great body.
The fact is, I don’t forget back within the mid 70’s; a person talking or writing about the “Apollo versus Hercules” physiques. Certainly, I was 5′4″ and 120lbs soaking wet; so this talk about the Apollonian create versus the Herculean look was beyond me. I justed wanted muscle. I just wanted to be major (and no longer geeky).
Can you relate?
Rusty is sort of iconic in that he fundamentally breaks with conventional wisdom on what it takes to obtain big. Heck, he breaks with obtaining major (for the sake of becoming just large) altogether.
You know drill – heck, I preach it – utilized compound movements, focus on the major 3, lift big, and eat huge.
Ah, the massive three. You know them – right – the squat, the deadlift, and the bench.
Rusty would rather have you dump all 3 out back in the dumpster. The bench, he could live with. But the squat and deadlift – nope – these be the bane of what he thinks guys actually need to look like.
Do these movements and you will get a huge butt, massive upper thighs, and thick torso; or so he claims. You end up with rounded looks that call for wearing baggy pants or sweats; or so he claims. Naturally in the brief time that I lived in LA, I did see numerous human mastadons walking around with sweats and fannypacks.
And the major upper body – very good luck finding suits that fit; or so he claims.
Now, I can’t disagree with anything he says. Way back, I wrote the following:
“Bodybuilding purist aside, muscles bulging out of a guy’s body every single which direction have not often brought ooohs and aaahs of admiration. Leaving the incredibly small percentage of Ronnie Coleman’s’ and Dorian Yate’s aside, big slabs of corded muscles piled high on each and every body component need to not even be that all desirable.”
I went on to say that:
“Whether in a polo shirt along with a pair of slacks for a casual night out or strolling along a boardwalk; the guy with the terrific shoulders, tight abs, and terrific calves usually brings admiration.”
Rusty believes that the only physiques worth striving for are those that he calls, “the Hollywood Look.”
And once more, can’t disagree with him.
Who wouldn’t need to look like Brad Pitt in Troy or the Fight Club? What about searching like Robert Downey Jr. in Ironman for guys in their thirties, any person interested? For you guys in your 20’s. would you rather look like Taylor Lautner or the musclehead pounding out 500lb deadlifts at the local gym?
So, the way to accomplish that look?
Enter Visual Impact Muscle Building – the culmination of Rusty’s experience, understanding, and expertise.Most muscle constructing courses would have you focus on the huge 3. I know that I’ve generally suggest that beginners commence with full body workouts 2 or 3 times a week – focusing on building core strength. And absolutely nothing builds strength like squats and deadlifts.
This is somewhat unique.
Rusty lays out a 6 month program which is broken into three phases:
Phase I – Building Muscle Size
Phase II – Building Strength and Density
Phase III – Creating Maximum Density and Definition
Intriguing – in near contradiction to his own philosophy, he includes squat during phase I and deadlifts during phase II. But for phase III, not merely does he drop squats and deadlifts – he just flat out drops legs.
His reason becoming – creating massive, thick legs are not desirable along with the number of guys with big upper body and tiny legs are a lot more urban legend than anything else. They get large and solid sufficient in the course of phase I and II, as far as Rusty’s concerned.
And he throws you suitable into three day split.
He has rather certain set/rep/weight schemes for every single exercise. He’s clearly accomplished is homework when it comes to what rep ranges builds muscle, strength, density, etc.
He also has some specific suggestions on what he calls “shrink wrapping” your body – though, even he concedes that Arnold might have done it very first.
As a component of this program, Rusty supplies a 220+ page EBook that demonstrates the correct execution of each exercise under the sun, and then a couple far more.
I’m also guessing that diet and nutrition are not a strong suit for him. He does have 1 chapter on “Eating for Muscle Gains,” but it’s pretty basic. I do agree with him, although that you don’t have to have to be pounding protein shakes. I like a tall glass of entire milk. He recommends a glass or 2 or chocolate milk right after a workout. I guess.
So, what does he charge for all this – 47 bucks. Why – he says that most individual trainers charge $50 or so for an hour consultation. So, he came up with $47 – supply and demand – it is whatever folks will pay, I guess.
Who would benefit? Difficult to say, simply because this 6 month program is so fundamental diverse than what I’m used to. But if I had to – I would believe guys:
- at a plateau for a while
- been winging it from workouts taken from magazines and not pleased with results
- agree that squats only create big rear and massive upper thighs
- looking to construct a “Hollywood Look” – you know, the Abercrombie Fitch look
- been in shape when – desire to be get in shape, maybe
I do have concerns:
- Rusty does not seriously differentiate between beginners and such – fine line can turn into a highway to overtraining. And that is really the greatest concern that I have.
- This is gym workout – yes, you could modify it for
- household but tough if all you’ve got a barbell along with a couple of dumbbells.
- HIIT is excellent but quick to pull a leg muscle and he essentially relies on HIIT for all cardio function.
- Once again, I’m guessing nutrition just isn’t a strong suit for him.
All in all, an intriguing program. Really various. A couple months shy of 50, I have no real desire to look like anybody apart from me. So, I’m on fence as to no matter whether I really should give it go. Plus, at 1 point, Rusty calls for sets of 2 to four reps. And with Bodylastics bands, 2 to four reps are out.
