What is Reverse Pyramid Training (RPT)?

Going backwards – How to avoid getting weaker in the gym

I was in the gym the other day attempting to break my own record with weighted chins, when I epically failed on achieving an improvement from the week before. In fact, I had gone backwards.

I struggled to punch out the second rep with 45kg’s hanging off my  waist and had to let go whilst shaking my head in frustration. The week before, I had done the same weight for three reps — so what gives?…

I don’t adhere to fads nor gimmicks (how’d you guess that?) so i was skeptical at first, but then I got to know Rusty and his style of teaching over at fitnessblackbook.com.

How often should you go to the gym?

Sounds like a pretty open-ended question doesn’t it?

I’m going to try and answer it without coming across all wishy-washy and fluffy like a huge wishy-washy, fluffy thing.

A lot of articles you’ll read on the subject will answer the question like a politician.…

Is cardio or weights better for fat loss?

There’s currently a lot of hype in the media right now concerning which is better, cardio or weight training

I read a LOT of fitness related press and blogs. They all seem to offer the same inane point of view which is masked in a layer of fluff accompanied with a steaming pile of bullsh*t.

Clint’s current workout: Phase II of Visual Impact

Update 3rd July, 2012

I now cycle my very own program (Reveal The Steel) year round and no longer use Visual Impact. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great program, but what I’ve come up with is completely different, and works for me a lot more long-term.…
