Since his last national bodybuilding competition, in August 2005, 260-pound Rick McCutcheon has been training exclusively and drug-free with JReps. "The pumps I receive from this method is like no other; I'm hard and feel like I'm going to explode from the very first set. This method has enabled me to gain five solid pounds in the past month alone, which is tough when you are advanced. I also train my own clients in this manner and their gains are unbelievable."

 "The Johnston Rep Method has done for the rep and the set what Blitzing did for the workout and cycle. A 20-minute leg session had me descending stairs on my rump almost an hour later. The pump is wicked and when you get good at it, the fatigue is deep and incredibly thorough. There is far more here than meets the eye at first look."

Andrew Shortt, Fitness Clinician of the Year 2004

"I deem JReps one of the most exciting prospects I have come across in a long, long time; one that pans out in both theory and application! I did a single JRep set of Preacher Curls at the completion of this mornings workout... what a mind-blowing pump that delivered!!! Even my Father - who spots for me - was amazed at how swollen my biceps were afterwards. With something new, unique, and physiologically sound such as this, being a super-advanced bodybuilder I am in heaven. This is unlike other methods or systems that sounded good on paper AND in theory then failed miserably to live up to half of what they claimed (ie. POF, PFT, to name two). The overall beauty of this method, when you are done is that there are absolutely no lingering doubts you could have done more, something many HIT/HD advocates suffer from."

Kevin Dye

The Johnston Rep Method is beyond unique... you will not think of training the same way again!

The problem with traditional bodybuilding methods is that the directions are very static, in that people tend to do the same things over and over. Yes, we can add variety by changing up the exercises, but what is as important is the style of performance. Explosive training, ballistic training, and moving very slow are things of the past.

The other problem is, people place too much emphasis on set and exercise schemes, rather than how a set is performed. And for a niche group that does emphasize performance methods, the direction is to move very slow with exaggerated perfection... which does very little to develop muscle.

JReps is about performing high volume contractions in a low volume of sets, while optimizing each zone (and muscle fiber recruitment) of an exercise's range of motion. This is not like 21s, or 1 1/4 reps, or like anything else. In fact, there are 8 different procedures that can be implemented in the JRep method. And the manner in which it affects muscles will do more to increase strength than traditional training, something powerlifters and strength athletes need to consider.

"This far exceeds any chest discomfort I have even inflicted or felt from any other method of training. So it stands to reason, something this thorough significantly increases the stimulation of size gains, and so one has to be cautious with how many sets performed this style and the frequency. Once weekly per bodypart is more than adequate! I won't be deviating from JReps from now on. These are the most superior means to tap into the growth process I have come across, and so why change when you are using the best means possible?!?! If this isn't the most potent means available to stimulate gains then I don't know what is!" Kevin Dye

This book explains the intricacies and physiological reasonings as to why The Johnston Rep Method will do the following:

  • Unique and increased muscular stimulation that produces superior inroading/fatigue never before experienced.
  • Any free-weight or cable exercise can have a near-perfect force curve with JReps.
  • Enhanced muscle pump never before experienced after only a handful of sets. And when taking it up a notch with JReps Extreme, a national level bodybuilder claimed that the pump felt as incredible as it did when he used anabolic steroids!
  • More thorough stimulation of every part of the ROM of any exercise; you eliminate the sticking point by making each aspect or zone of the ROM equally challenging to invoke a greater degree of muscle fibers.
  • An increase in mental focus that is required to undertake the concentrated demands of JReps; you become more in tune to your mechanics, quality of execution and the training effect.
  • Determine your optimum number of sets per muscle based on a particular effect of JReps.
  • Directions on how to optimize the most common exercises on both machines and free weights.

Even after 25 years training, 40-year old Brian Johnston, the developer of JReps, has improved his body, the look of his muscles, and his overall muscle mass after 3-months on the JRep Method. The above photos were taken the third week of November 2005.
