High Tension Exercises - EBook

By J -
Q: I am going to start training using the shotgun method next week.  I am looking forward to the change.  I have been doing the density/decompression training and in-between throwing in a specialization training routine.  My question is about how long should I train with this routine?  I didn't know if only 2 weeks or take it longer.  When I am finished with the shotgun method what would you suggest doing?  Going back to the density/decompression?  Maybe, something else all together.

Another question for you.  I am doing frequency decompression now.  And let’s take the curls and triceps for 8-10 sets.  How do you train that many sets?  Do you start light and go heavy and then back to light?  Because I find myself getting into the 5th or 6th set and then my strength starts to die off so I go down in weight only enough to keep my reps within the range suggested.

 I have your paperback books.  I hope to get a tablet and put your books on there.  I refer to your books often, and I haven’t bought the last one because I don’t want to buy the paperback then have to buy the eBook.

 Your books have rekindled my love for lifting. 

 Thank you,
D


My Answer: Glad you like my books.  Follow the Shotgun Method for 2-3 weeks, then switch to a different program.  Any program will suffice.

As far as keeping up with the 8-10 sets in the frequency decompression phase in Neo-Classical Bodybuilding, just keep doing what you've doing.  Adjust the weight to stay in the rep range outlined in the program.

With regards to whether or not the latest book High Tension Exercises for Muscular Growth will be on Kindle, I can tell you that it will be a LONG while before the book comes out on Kindle, if ever.  I have found the formatting issues with creating a Kindle e-book to be more trouble than it's worth, so I'm not in any hurry to create the Kindle e-book version.

However, Strength and Physique: High Tension Exercises for Muscular Growth as well my other books are available as E-books from Gumroad.

Interview with Rick Lee

Q: I'm an avid follower of your site and had a question, since I believe you are the most recent one to have done an interview /been in contact with Rick Lee. I was wondering: is he still actively keeping up with his website?  Also I was wondering if you ever heard of the podcast DVDASA hosted by David Choe ? I'm sure you know of him or can easily find out who he is, but I wanted to know how I can contact him. I think he'd make a great guest on the show especially, because of his Asian-Man website. I believe he was the first Asian male porn star. David Choe talks about it sometimes, but he mentions Keni Styles as the first, but Rick is.  I'd love for him to be able to get on the show, set the record straight and help continue changing perceptions of Asian males.  Sorry if this is sort of random. Anyways hope to hear from you soon Thanks! -J My Answer: Are you trying to contact David Choe or are you trying to contact Rick Lee or both?  I'm s

Muscle Building Diet for the Asian Male

As a strength trainer with an Asian American background, I often get questions and comments from Asian dudes all over the world. A common theme that pops up among Asian lifters is the belief that their Asian genes are limiting their progress in their quest for a muscular physique. I always tell them this: don't let race or ethnicity be a limiting factor in your training goals or any goal. It does not matter if you are Asian or a skinny bastard or a woman. If your goal is to be bigger, faster, stronger, then you still travel the same road that everyone else travels to size and strength. I mean look at Tommy Kono . Here was a Japanese American who grew up in an internment camp, and he became arguably the greatest Olympic weightlifter the US offered to the world.  He was also a successful bodybuilder, winning the Mr. Universe title in 1955 and 1957.  He built a phenomenal physique in an era before steroids. He didn't let race or ethnicity be a limiting factor in his mind or on

Strength Training for the Asian Lifter, Part II

Since I keep getting inquiries on my previous article Strength and Bodybuilding for the Asian Lifter , I thought I'd write up a follow-up: I’m a bit of a bodybuilding purist. I normally don’t write my exercise articles from the angle of “develop the muscles that drive her wild in bed!” Men’s Fitness, however, interviewed me one time for an article titled Sculpting Her Five Favorite Body Parts. The interviewer picked my brain on how to develop muscles so that a woman, as she put it, “couldn't keep her hands off you.” When it comes down to it, Asian men want the same thing everybody else wants when they exercise: to look good naked! Women don’t give a crap how much you bench, but they will notice the tone in your arms when you’re wearing a T-shirt. A lot of Asian guys feel that their Asian genes are somehow holding them back when it comes to gaining muscle. But guess what? Whether or not it is true that Asian men have a harder time gaining muscle, most women don’t
