I’m thrilled to report that we received a 100 percent response rate wanting us to bring back The Workout Routines site on a regular basis so that’s what we’re going to do.

I’m working on a redesign for the site…I want to make the new Workout Routines much more cleaner and easier to read and follow.

These changes should be done in time for the beginning of 2012.

I’m working on some articles and videos right now to help you make 2012 your best year yet for reaching your fitness and muscle building goals.

It’s going to be fun and I look forward to getting back to making Workout Routines the best place to go for muscle building enthusiasts.

See you soon and thanks again for all who responded so favorably.

Train hard and heavy.

I’ve been hearing from a lot of you that I should start updating the site again so I thought, why not ask everyone who comes here what they think?

So I put together a four-question survey to find out your opinion. I would appreciate it if you would take the time to fill it out. Don’t worry, I’m not even asking for your email address. It’s totally anonymous.

The main reason I’ve been thinking about making the site active again is because of all the crap that’s being thrown around the Internet, passing for weight training advice. I have much more to say on this and other subjects dealing with the iron game.

If you’d like me to share it with you or if you think I should shut up let me know by clicking on the link below and taking time to complete the survey.

Thanks for your time.

Remember, train hard and heavy.

That’s what I set out to do when i started this site back in 2005.

Which is why I made Workout-Routines a paid site last year.

Well, many complained that with the economy being so bad, paying for a workout site wasn’t what they wanted to do.

I’m a little stubborn and I didn’t listen.

To be quite honest,  I should have because membership has steadily declined.

So, starting today, the Workout Routines site is free again.

I’ll still do my best to provide great routines and solid information for you.

One more thing, if you like the site please tell your friends about it.

Thanks for your time and enjoy Workout Routines.

As you already know, I’ve been working hard to create my new program – “The Old School Muscle Building System.”

I spent years researching and developing this product to make it a kick-ass muscle-building program and it is. You’re going to love every minute of it!

We are almost finished with it, just a few more videos to create and edit. When we release the program, it will have a $47 price tag, but you get it for FREE just for being a member of the Workout Routines Inner Circle.

I’m also writing a new book (not in the strength training field) and both projects have taken an incredible amount of my time.  As a result, my updates to this site have been inconsistent.

I apologize for that and I wanted you to know, we have a new update schedule to the Inner Circle that we will strictly follow to get you timely and important information on a regular basis.

Starting next week, we will be updating the site on Tuesday and Friday. That will be the schedule and we’ll stick to it, rain or shine.

Tuesday will be an article or routine and Thursday will be a video routine or audio post.

That’s all for now. I can’t wait until you see the Old School Muscle Building System. I know you’re going to enjoy it.

Take care. Talk soon.

By the way, if you’re not an Inner Circle Member and want to get  all this great material, just click on the link below and become a member today.

Join the Inner Circle!

The program was developed after years of research and testing on how the old-school lifters and strongmen got big and muscular without the use of performance enhancers.

It should be finished in about 2-3 weeks and will be sold as a two-DVD set for $47.

But, as a way of saying thank you to my supporters, all members of the Workout Routines Inner Circle will get the digital version absolutely FREE on the Workout Routines website.

That’s right. It’s yours just for being a member.

I’ve made a short video below talking a little bit about the Old School Muscle Building System. Of course,  I couldn’t go into too much detail because we’re still working on it, but here’s the video.

If you want to get your hands on the program, but aren’t a member yet, here’s how you can join:

Just click on the URL below and become a member of the Inner Circle and the Old School Muscle Building System, along with the High Octane Fat Loss Program, and the Ultimate Workout Program Digital Version, will be yours absolutely FREE as well.

If you bought these products separately it would cost you $121, but you get them all for free by becoming a member of the Workout Routines Inner Circle. Click on the URL below to become a member today.

One of the biggest difficulties facing  most bodybuilders is how can they be sure that all muscle fibers have been recruited and exhausted during a given exercise. It is only by achieving this, that muscle gains can be maximised.

The simple answer is, you have to experience a higher level of training intensity than before. This also ensures that workouts remain challenging and continue to engender progress over time thus reducing the likelihood of regression.

But how do you go about intensifying your training? Fortunately there is a tried and tested path to follow as outlined below:

1. Increase resistance – increasing the weight lifted in meaningful increments ensures the muscle is pushed beyond its previous point  thus maintaining the muscle building process. Aim to increase the weight when you reach your given reps and failure, if you train that way, doesn’t occur.

2. Change the exercise – to achieve maximal gains all muscle fibers in a body part must be trained. Changing the angle (e.g to incline bench press) or introducing a new exercise will stimulate growth. Also, changing the order you do your exercises in will help keep the muscle guessing.

3. Reduce rest intervals – giving the muscles less time to recover before exposing them to further work has the effect of increasing intensity.

4. Pre-exhaustion – when an exercise involves two or more muscles the weakest will prevent you from working the primary muscle to failure. The answer is to first isolate and work the primary muscle before immediately moving to another exercise that works those set of muscles.

5. Introduce supersets – this involves performing two exercises for the same muscle group without a rest interval. This means you have to utilize different muscle fibers which stimulate greater growth.

These next methods are for lifters who train to failure:

6. Use partial reps – at the point of failure you will not be able to complete the full range of movement for a given exercise. Completing a partial rep that uses only a segment of the lift will still work your muscles beyond the point of failure. This technique is especially useful to advanced bodybuilders as it allows them to increase intensity without adding extra routines that could cause overtraining.

7. Use isometric contractions – this involves holding the weight still at the point of failure to stimulate a static contraction in the muscle.

8. Employ forced reps – this involves completing one or more final reps after the point of failure has been reached. You will need the assistance of an experienced helper to attempt this.

Once you have added these techniques to your training regimen you’ll know you’ve done your best to maximize muscle growth.

We were on a once a week updating schedule  for almost a year, but with the membership growing, I decided to change that to twice a week.

Starting next week, I will be updating the Workout Warriors Inner Circle twice a week.

One of the updates will be a workout routine text post and the other will be either a video or audio about a particular subject, be it nutrition, workout routine, or some other subject dealing with weight training.

I’m also considering creating a forum so all the members can share thoughts and ideas. I have decided yet. If it’s something you’d like to see, post a comment and let me know.

Our goal is to keep giving our Inner Circle members great content they can use to help with their weight training efforts.

I originally put this out in DVD format and now I’m giving it to all premium members of the Workout Routines site.

You will hear me reveal the BIG MUSCLE BUILDING strategies I’ve used and continue to use over and over and over again with my clients— to help them create bodies they only dreamed about at first.

After years of researching the old-time strongmen and bodybuilders, I learned their ways, techniques and secrets for building rock hard muscle and almost super human strength.

That’s how the Ultimate Workout Program was born. Now I’m sharing with you the techniques that work, the ones you need to know, and by becoming a premium member, you can watch and listen to it over and over again, whenever you want!

I also want to tell everyone about the exciting plans for this site throughout the rest of 2009 and int0 2010.

First, you can now get a premium membership for a super-low price of just $4.95 a month. For less than the price of cup of coffee and a scone you can get a wealth of muscle-building and health producing information at the click of a mouse.

There are over 400 articles, videos, and audio material posted on the Workout Routines site. The free stuff here is better than the crap being sold on the Internet right now. The premium content is even more killer.

Here’s just some of the current and future benefits available for Premium Members:

• Access to the High Octane Fat Loss and Muscle Building System, sold for $47 on its own, as part of membership
• Access to the soon-to-be released digital version of the Ultimate Workout Program
• Audio, Old-School Workouts and Video sections of the site available to premium members only
• Webinars, Teleseminars, and Podcasts will be added in the coming months for premium members
• Email coaching from me, twice per month, for premium members
• And special surprises I know you’ll love

Look, I won’t sugarcoat this. If you’re not willing to invest less than five measly bucks a month to improve your health, reach your bodybuilding or fitness goals, and improve your mental attitude, then nothing will work for you.

I’ve made the price low for three reasons:

1. To celebrate the third anniversary of Workout Routines
2. To make the price so low,  nobody could have any excuse not to join.
3. To let everyone get real, common-sense advice without paying an arm and a leg to acquire it

In addition to a weekly podcast, webinars and teleseminars, even more great stuff is being created in the months ahead.

New sections are coming on nutrition, starting your own fitness business, and free software for premium members to have fun with.

It will be a smorgasbord of content for workout warriors like yourself.

Oh by the way, there isn’t any fake scarcity or any of that bullshit. This offer will be around until the end of the year.

This is truly the only place you need to come for real, practical, truthful training and nutrition advice that gets results. Don’t believe me? Just check out some of the free routines and see for yourself. Nothing happens unless you implement what you learn.

If you want to become a premium  member, go to the sign-up page here, or click the button below. It’s only $4.95 a month. What have you got to lose to try it out? if you don’t like it, cancel immediately and never be billed again.

Good luck with all your training efforts and thanks for reading.
