Plus it just looks cuntish when you’re tucking into your fifth meal of the day and the receptionist is surviving on a diet of rice cakes, water and pseudo-flirtatious banter with anyone that’ll give her the time of day. I did not do any of the abdominal work (I’m not that vain) nor did I follow the diet (I simply don’t have the time at work to eat all those meals). How could I help but build muscle? Confession time Monotony breeds muscle inertia, but, by the end of Shortcut to Size, I’d done seven exercises I’d never done before in this form: The age-old adage in bodybuilding is that you need to be constantly ‘shocking’ your muscles. Sure, it’s a heavy weight, but I’m surprised his lungs don’t collapse: Seriously, watch this video from about six minutes onwards. Good technique is, of course, all important in bodybuilding – unless you’re Branch Warren.
Let’s face it, you can be the best lifter in the world, but when you know you can’t physically lift that barbell off your chest, a primordial instinct takes over and you contort your body in any way possible to get it up (insert phallus joke). It’s a valid argument, and, indeed, Stoppani encourages you to go to failure, but the real benefit of rest-pause is that it allows you to squeeze out a few more reps to failure, but with better technique. I had this discussion with a fellow Gymtalk employee: “Why do rest-pause, shouldn’t you just go to failure on the final set?” In weeks 3-4, you do the same but reduce the weight after the last set and go once again to failure. Perhaps a slightly grandiose statement, but I think this technique is one of the principle contributing factors to the success of this programme.ĭuring weeks 1-2, after the final set of each exercise you rack the weights, rest 15 seconds, then go again to failure.
With this review I’m simply going to give you my personal highlights of the programme.
Rather than guide you through the programme week by week, just click on the following link which has everything you need, including both instructional videos and a useful PDF: (It’ll probably be the statue of the thalidomide woman if you follow Greg Plitt’s workout.) You then repeat this for two further four week cycles, by which time you’ll be looking like something carved out of Marble. Very few programmes will include strength work, but this one looks to build size and strength. If we were to give Shortcut to Size a label, it would be ‘Linear Periodisation’, as each week you perform a different rep range: The upper body gains in particular were Hulk-esque.

Warning: if you plan on following the full 12 week Shortcut to Size programme, then I advise you to start putting aside money for new clothes now. I know who I’d go with… Shortcut to Size overview Whereas Dr Jim Stoppani PhD has a doctorate in exercise physiology. It’s absurd – concussion is far more likely than muscle growth. Now I’m not doubting his physique, but probably 90% of people interested in following Greg’s videos won’t be able to do these particular exercises. With an opening gambit of ‘Real Science, Unreal Results’, I couldn’t help but be interested in this workout.Īfter all, a quick search on YouTube for other guru workout programmes reveals myriad hokum, quasi-debilitating looking exercises and gratuitous use of the word ‘bro’.įor example, just have a look at this video detailing Greg Plitt’s ‘MFT 28 Shoulder Shred’ workout.
