Visual Impact Muscle Building by Rusty Moore

Let’s talk about an interesting muscle creating course referred to as, “Visual Impact Muscle Building,” by Rusty Moore.  It’s interesting mainly because he has a very distinct take on what constitutes a fantastic body.

In reality, I don’t forget back within the mid 70’s; an individual talking or writing about the “Apollo versus Hercules” physiques.  Certainly, I was 5′4″ and 120lbs soaking wet; so this talk about the Apollonian develop versus the Herculean look was beyond me.  I justed wanted muscle.  I just wanted to be large (and no longer geeky).

Can you relate?

Rusty is sort of iconic in that he fundamentally breaks with conventional wisdom on what it takes to obtain large.  Heck, he breaks with obtaining large (for the sake of becoming just massive) altogether. 

You know drill – heck, I preach it – used compound movements, focus on the massive three, lift large, and eat large.

Ah, the major 3.  You know them – correct – the squat, the deadlift, and the bench.

Rusty would rather have you dump all 3 out back inside the dumpster.  The bench, he could live with.  But the squat and deadlift – nope – these be the bane of what he thinks guys seriously would like to look like.

Do these movements and you’ll get a major butt, large upper thighs, and thick torso; or so he claims.  You end up with rounded looks that demand wearing baggy pants or sweats; or so he claims.  Not surprisingly within the brief time that I lived in LA, I did see several human mastadons walking around with sweats and fannypacks.

Along with the major upper body – good luck finding suits that fit; or so he claims.

Now, I cannot disagree with anything he says.  Way back, I wrote the following:

“Bodybuilding purist aside, muscles bulging out of a guy’s body every single which direction have not generally brought ooohs and aaahs of admiration.  Leaving the incredibly small percentage of Ronnie Coleman’s’ and Dorian Yate’s aside, big slabs of corded muscles piled high on every body component really should not even be that all desirable.”

I went on to say that:

“Whether in a polo shirt and a pair of slacks for a casual night out or strolling along a boardwalk; the guy with the fantastic shoulders, tight abs, and wonderful calves always brings admiration.”

Rusty believes that the only physiques worth striving for are those that he calls, “the Hollywood Look.”

And once more, can’t disagree with him.

Who wouldn’t desire to look like Brad Pitt in Troy or the Fight Club?  What about looking like Robert Downey Jr. in Ironman for guys in their thirties, anybody interested?  For you guys in your 20’s. would you rather look like Taylor Lautner or the musclehead pounding out 500lb deadlifts at the local gym?

So, how to achieve that look?

Enter Visual Impact Muscle Building – the culmination of Rusty’s encounter, information, and expertise.Most muscle building courses would have you focus on the massive three.  I know that I have often suggest that beginners start off with full body workouts 2 or 3 times a week – focusing on creating core strength.  And nothing builds strength like squats and deadlifts.

This is somewhat diverse.

Rusty lays out a 6 month program that’s broken into 3 phases:

Phase I – Creating Muscle Size
Phase II – Developing Strength and Density
Phase III – Building Maximum Density and Definition
Intriguing – in near contradiction to his own philosophy, he consists of squat during phase I and deadlifts in the course of phase II.  But for phase III, not just does he drop squats and deadlifts – he just flat out drops legs.

His reason becoming – building huge, thick legs are not desirable plus the number of guys with massive upper body and tiny legs are more urban legend than anything else.  They get huge and solid enough throughout phase I and II, as far as Rusty’s concerned.

And he throws you perfect into three day split.

He has really specific set/rep/weight schemes for every exercise.  He’s clearly accomplished is homework when it comes to what rep ranges builds muscle, strength, density, etc.

He also has some distinct suggestions on what he calls “shrink wrapping” your body – though, even he concedes that Arnold may possibly have completed it initial.

As a part of this program, Rusty supplies a 220+ page EBook that demonstrates the right execution of every single exercise under the sun, and then a couple more.

I’m also guessing that diet and nutrition are not a powerful suit for him.  He does have one chapter on “Eating for Muscle Gains,” but it’s pretty simple.  I do agree with him, though that you simply do not require to be pounding protein shakes.  I like a tall glass of whole milk.  He recommends a glass or 2 or chocolate milk immediately after a workout.  I guess.

So, what does he charge for all this – 47 bucks.  Why – he says that most personal trainers charge $50 or so for an hour consultation.  So, he came up with $47 – supply and demand – it’s whatever people will pay, I guess.

Who would benefit?  Hard to say, mainly because this 6 month program is so fundamental unique than what I’m used to.  But if I had to – I would believe guys:

  • at a plateau for a even though
  • been winging it from workouts taken from magazines and not pleased with results
  • agree that squats only develop major rear and major upper thighs
  • seeking to build a “Hollywood Look” – you know, the Abercrombie Fitch look
  • been in shape when – need to be get in shape, possibly

I do have concerns:

  • Rusty does not genuinely differentiate between beginners and such – fine line can turn into a highway to overtraining.  And that’s actually the biggest concern that I have.
  • This is gym workout – yes, you could modify it for
  • residence but tough if all you’ve a barbell as well as a couple of dumbbells.
  • HIIT is great but effortless to pull a leg muscle and he fundamentally relies on HIIT for all cardio work.
  • Once again, I’m guessing nutrition is not a strong suit for him.

All in all, an interesting program.  Extremely diverse.  A couple months shy of 50, I have no actual desire to look like everyone other than me.  So, I’m on fence as to regardless of whether I should give it go.  Plus, at 1 point, Rusty calls for sets of 2 to four reps.  And with Bodylastics bands, 2 to four reps are out.
