Want To Add A Half-Inch To Your Arms In One Day?
Jay calls this the Neural (Nerve Force) One-Day Blitz System. It is aptly named
because it stimulates the nerve & blood pathways (neuro-muscular system) to
the upper arms through a carefully planned Power 1 & 2-Rep System of multiple
maximum single and double rep sets.
The innovative Power 1 & 2-Rep System is the key factor that facilitates
neuromuscular response of such magnitude that the body parts (ARMS) have no
other choice except to respond permanently and adapt in response to the training
effect of more hypertrophy of fast-twitch muscle fibers. Also, when doing single
and double rep sets, there is less of an accumulated buildup of lactic acid that
occurs when doing other one-day blitz workouts where 4 or more reps are
executed per set.
4
How is the Power 1 & 2-Rep System accomplished for sub-par muscle group
such as the arm? It is done through a dispersal of very brief, brutal, and super-
intense micro-training sessions (called Time Compression Workouts) on
carefully selected even and odd hours and half-hours during a 12-hour day (for
example, 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM).
Since society requires you to earn a living to pay rent and buy food, etc., the
traits of training protocol for Neural One-Day Blitz System is best accomplished
on a scheduled day off from your job, such as a weekend or vacation time. The
bottom line for making this system of training work for you is to schedule a whole
day completely devoted to uninterrupted training at either a commercial health
club or equipped home gym. You go to the gym in the morning and don’t leave
until the evening. You’ll need someone to assist you on certain training
methodics, so it would be great if you and a training partner do this program
together.
The comprehensive One-Day Jump Start Biceps Blitz Program (ODJBBSP),
although radical, has been battle tested successfully in the trenches of some of
the most hardcore gyms in the world. The ODJSP consists of 16 Stepping
Stones that help give you an extra edge in the fight for big arms. With the 16
Stepping Stones you will create the weapons you need mentally and physically
to win the Big Arms race. Here’s a detailed look at each one.
16 Stepping Stones
#1. The Week Prior
Your last scheduled training session for one or more muscle groups should
conclude two days prior to performing the ODJSBBP . For example, assuming
that you are going to do the neural blitz training session on a Saturday, all normal
training sessions should be concluded by Wednesday.
The training sessions during this week should be of medium intensity loads of
72%-84% of your current un-fatigued one-rep maximums and high to very high
volume. German Volume Training (GVT) is an excellent workout choice. Pick
ten exercises to work the total body and do ten sets of each exercise (you
choose either a compound or isolationary exercise depending on your wants and
needs), ten reps per set. Rest – pauses of 20 seconds (minimum) to 60 seconds
(maximum) should be taken between each training set of a selected exercise.
Use a fixed poundage (no pyramids) for all ten sets if possible. If not, reduce the
poundage no more than 5-10 pounds every two to five sets.
Other options include 8 sets of 8 reps and 6 sets of 6 reps.
Rest – pauses of 15 seconds (for increased muscularity) or 30-
45 seconds (for muscle mass increase) should be taken
between each training set of a selected exercise.
5
Finally, do not begin your first regular training session feeder workouts until
Tuesday and Wednesday of the following week, again using medium intensity
loads and high volume as recommended above, but for only one-week period.
Then go back to your previous training protocol, whatever that may be. One of
my favorites is "The Titan Training System" by Leo Costa Jr. and Russ Horine
(Oct 11, 2000) www.amazon.com
6
The tape should be at a right angle to the humerus bone of the upper arm
and not slanted.
If you don’t have another person around who can take your arm
measurements, you can do it yourself. Simply do a front single bicep pose
and then make a transition by horizontally adducting (moving) the upper
arm to the front. Your upper arm will form a 90-degree angle with the front
of your body (chest). To better grasp the concept of adducting the upper
arm, imagine performing the Pec Deck (Pectoral Flye) exercise with one
arm and moving it to the front of your body. After you have adducted the
upper arm, then it’s just a matter of taking an arm measurement using
your non-posed arm to do so.
7
two different 4-4.5 hour naps, the proportion of time in stage 5 (associated with
GH release) somehow becomes increased. Growth hormone increase levels-
when accomplished naturally not only add a spurt to muscle growth but it can
directly lend it self to bodyfat loss as well.
Three: Make sure that your last couple of meals of the day contains a protein
source high in the amino acid tryptophan (good for relaxation and inducing
sleep). Turkey and milk products are good sources.
Four: REDUCE any anxiety-producing stress that might occur, especially before
bedtime. Don’t get involved in any tasks that require deep concentration. This
includes but is not limited to personal finances, problem relationships, or other
personal conflicts. It is a good idea to shut off the phone, TV, etc.
Now you are ready to institute some behavior-calming techniques such as light
reading, a nice warm shower can be quite relaxing. One of the best ways to
manage stress at bedtime might very well be a relaxation tool called the Sound
Oasis Therapy System. It is a unit which allows users to create their very own
sound environment conducive to relaxation and sleep.
This is accomplished by bathing a room with authentic sounds of nature or the
proprietary 'bio-sync' sound (developed by the world renowned sound therapy
expert, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson). Here’s the best part. The Sound Oasis Therapy
System blocks out irritating noises and creates a peaceful atmosphere so users
fall asleep easier, get higher quality sleep, enhance concentration, and feel more
alert throughout the day! If you are interested in exploring the Sound Therapy
System here’s their website: www.sound-oasis.com.
Five: Melatonin, which is produced in the pineal gland of the brain, will improve
sleep patterns. Take 1-3 mg a half-hour before bedtime. (Ref: Melatonin
Transdermal Time-Release Patch at www.ageforce.com)
8
Six: Other things you can do to upgrade your quality of sleep include making
sure that your bedroom window is open so that you can breathe a free and
uninterrupted supply of cool air (but keep your bedroom as pitch black and noise-
proof as possible). Avoid a severe draft, a freezing atmosphere, or a hot
bedroom. Keep the temperature in your bedroom (and other rooms of the house)
as much as possible between 60 and 70 degrees.
With regard to your bed, make sure your mattress is an ideal sleep surface. It
should distribute your weight evenly, and in doing so, reduce stress on the
shoulders, hips, and legs. The spine should remain in a neural position without
sagging, whether you sleep on your back, stomach, or side. Use a light pillow for
head support. Be sure to set your alarm clock so that you awaken by 6:00
AM.
The first option consist of fresh strawberries (if in season) topped with certified
raw cream and a dash of raw honey, 4-5 fertile eggs (good for stimulating the
central nervous system for the upcoming workout) scrambled in raw butter and 1-
2 slices of flourless whole grain bread (toasted) with a pat of butter.
9
or coconut. Or add fresh berries and chopped nuts such as pecans and
walnuts to cooked oatmeal (or other grains). Oatmeal is a great pre-
workout meal and source of carbohydrates if eaten at least one hour
before training. [This is less expensive than buying protein-fortified
oatmeal.]
It is important that you allow four hours to pass from the time
you arise (6:00 AM) prior to beginning the first of 19 micro-
neural blitz training sessions (at 10:00 AM).
The colder a muscle is, the greater its viscosity and the more it resists change in
shape. This is called internal friction. The old expression about being “as slow
as molasses in January” is an excellent example. When molasses is warm, it
has a low viscosity and flows freely; but the colder it gets, the thicker it becomes
and the more it resists change of shape. Your muscles are affected in a like
manner.
Body core temperature plays a vital role in muscle building with the profound
effect that it will have on your strength and stamina during the neural blitz training
sessions. I suggest that, prior to your first micro-training session at 10:00 AM,
you begin with 5-10 minutes of “high octane” aerobic work (to break a sweat),
such as:
Now go on and do one or two specific warm-up sets, 3-5 reps (in full exercise
range of motion), using 60-70% of the maximum poundage required for a
particular methodic. Rest 1.5-2 minutes between sets. Specific warm-up sets
10
will not only assist a rise in body core temperature but will also teach the muscles
the exercise range of motion and that the weight will be heavy.
I would advise not doing high reps (8 and above) when doing specific warm-up
sets, because doing so builds up pH and lactic acid levels in the blood and as a
result the brain cannot recruit high threshold muscle fibers necessary to the
success of the neural blitz micro-training sessions. Do aerobic work, PNF
stretching, and specific warm-up sets at the 10:00 AM, 4:00 and 8:00 PM
sessions only.
In conclusion, as important as body core temperature is for getting the most from
your big arms program, atmospheric temperature and humidity are important as
well. Make sure that the room temperature is not below normal.
Some individuals have been known to go to opposite extremes regarding
atmospheric temperatures. For example, Boyer Coe, former AAU Mr. America,
NABBA Mr. Universe (four times), Mr. World (five times), and IFBB Mr. Olympia
competitor, used to train in the gym with the air conditioning off. This was when
he was living in the state of Louisiana and training during the hot summer
months.
I, on the other hand, live in the Mid-west and have trained (for bodybuilding
competitions) during the cold winter months AND warm summer months in an
unheated garage or gym. I remember well many times when the atmospheric
temperature was 25 degrees above zero and at times 95 degrees.
Make your body core and room temperature work for you, not against you. Use
internal and external temperatures to help you build bigger – better – stronger
arms faster.
Choose two mass building compound exercises for the arms. Two of the best, in
my opinion, are the Classic Standing Two-Hands Barbell Curl (for the biceps)
and the Standing or Seated EZ-Bar French Press (for the triceps). These
exercises offer a high level of NMA (neuro-muscular activation) or stimulation
that will result in a greater opportunity for arm growth. (See Addendum for
explicit exercise mastery descriptions.)
#8. Super-Intense 19 Time-Compression Workouts
Even Hour Schedule (10 AM, Noon, 2:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00 PM)
11
Percent Training: Load a poundage on each barbell that is 90%+ of your
current un-fatigued maximum single effort (MSE) for each of the selected
exercises (A1 and A2). For example, if your best MSE in the Classic Standing
Two-Hands Barbell Curl is 100 pounds, and I say use 90%+ of that, the
poundage will be 90 pounds (.90 x 100 = 90). Always round odd poundages off
to the nearest five-pound interval; e.g., 43.6 would be rounded to 45, whereas
42.1 would be moved to 40.
Terminate doing the Single rep sets only when the full exercise range of
movement in the upward phase of the rep begins to fail (½ or ¾ reps).
Become a master of training by using perfect from and motion (never jerky) and
with total concentration.
Percentage Training: Use the 85%+ poundage that you used during the Even
Half-Hour segments.
Methodics: Rebound reps – Perform 5 sets x 2 reps. Rebounds are done just
prior to the completion of the eccentric (negative) stretch contraction phase of
each rep. IMMEDIATELY without pause (called turnarounds) reverse the
direction of the movement back into the positive phase. Rest-pause 1 minute
between each set.
12
Percentage Training: Use a percentage that is 70% of your MSE.
Pause in this position for a 1-second count (called the Dynamic Iso-System, then
E-X-P-L-O-D-E the bar upwards in the concentric (positive) phase of the rep. A
training partner (facing you) places his hand evenly under the bar in between
your hands and helps you accelerate the bar as fast as possible to completion of
the upward curling (exercise A1) phase and assists you from behind on the
extension (exercise A2) phase. The upward phase should take a half to one
second to complete. Perform the negative (lowering the bar) as you would
normally, usually 2 times slower than the positive phase. For example, if it takes
you two seconds to complete the upward curling phase, it should take four
seconds to lower the bar down to the initial start position. Rest – pause 1.5
minutes between sets.
Helpful Tips
Using a separate bar for each exercise (straight bar for curls and EZ-bar
for extensions) will help in that you won’t have to change poundages
constantly from one exercise to the other.
You can perform the exercises (A1 and A2) in straight set fashion where
you do all the required sets of a particular methodic for the biceps, then
move on to the triceps.
Or…

Remember, you still have to stay motivated and psyched for the upcoming
time-compression workout (refer to Stepping Stone #12 beginning on
page 20).
[Throughout the day of the ODJSP, your aggressive energy and strength levels
(both Physical and psychological) may vary during any one or more of the super-
intense 10 time-compression workouts. Add just the under underlying
percentage-based poundages (ramp up or down) accordingly to meet the
precision-chosen sets and reps of a particular methodic(s).]
To really open up the muscle growth zone (where it feels like growth hormone
has been poured over the already opened pores of the awakened and alert
muscle fibers) in a muscle such as the arms, it is important to employ the
elements of Physical and Mechanical Restorative Modalities during and after
(post-workout) the ODJSP or any other exercise protocol for that matter.
Ice Therapy. Prior to the beginning of each even- hour single rep
methodic of the ODJSP, place a bag of ice on your abdomen for a 3-
minute period of time. The strategy in using the ice pack is that it causes
the body to panic as it restricts blood flow back to the heart. This in turn
releases adrenaline (fight or flight syndrome), which allows the opportunity
to lift heavier weights (5-7% heavier) with greater speed. This will prove to
be invaluable when doing the single rep methodics.
Ice massage each arm for about 2 minutes after the completion of an odd
half-hour manual over-speed methodic micro-workout. Ice massage
14
before and after a daily workout session can be continued from 8-10
minutes (3 times per day, etc.) Or until the muscles goes numb. Be
careful not to get frostbite. Ice massage seems to promote more fresh
blood to the muscle area.
15
Fascial Planing. Popularized by super bodybuilding and nutrition expert
John Parrillo, this is an ultra-advanced method of stretching fascia through
partner-assisted manipulation. Visit www.parrillo.com for more details.
B. Mechanical Restorative Modalities
Power Walking. This form of aerobic exercise is best done during the
days prior to or after the ODJSP to improve circulation and help in the
removal of residual metabolites. The basic concept of power walking is to
walk as fast as you can (within 60-85% of working target heart rate), take
as many long strides as possible, rhythmically breathing in and out 3 times
in cadence with the strides. Time, distance traveled, degree of incline of
walking terrain, and amount of resistance (weight belt, wrist and ankle
weights, approximately 20% of bodyweight) carried are 3 more factors that
contribute to power walking success.
Perform the selected activity 3 times a week (on alternate days from
workouts) for 20-40 minutes. Be sure to include a 5 minute warm-up and
5 minute cool-down. Tip: Interchange these endurance activities from
session to session.
Each series concludes with the cold shower. Do 4 to 6 series (don’t allow
the head to get wet). Another method is to take a warm shower for 15
minutes and conclude with a cold shower for 1-2 minutes.
This was a favorite post-recovery modality of the late IFBB bodybuilding
superstar Chuck Sipes.
16
workout and/or jogging session. It is a good idea is to fill a bath tub with
enough cold water to cover the legs, when sitting.
Add ice and sit with your legs submerged in the bath tub for 5-15 minutes.
The recommended ice-cold-water (immersion) water temperature is
between 53°F and 59°F.
Electro Muscle Stimulators (EMS). Electrotherapy of this type is simple
micro-currents of an alternating frequency of 10-15 pps @ 30 microamps,
daily. This is a form of strengthening the muscles, while at the same time
increasing circulation and speeding up the recovery process of the
muscles and central nervous system.
Sauna (Dry Heat). Used once or twice weekly, the sauna is an excellent
modality for increasing circulation and assisting in the removal of irritant
lactic acids and residual metabolic intermediates.
Sauna Tips
Here are 6 tips for getting the most expedient use of the sauna:
Take a warm shower (100°F-110°F.) Prior to entering the sauna. Don’t
get your head wet, and be sure to towel dry immediately after showering.
To help prevent dizziness in the sauna, wrap a cool, damp towel around
your head.
Take a dry towel to sit on when you enter the sauna. Sit on the bottom
level of the sauna for 2-3 minutes to acclimate your body to the
temperature (165°F-175°F.). After 2-3 minutes, move to a higher level.
The temperature here will be between 195°F-205°F., so avoid moving
around. Lie on your back if possible, and remain calm. Above all, NEVER
exercise in the sauna.
Stay in the sauna for 6-10 minutes maximum, then leave the sauna and
quickly take a cool shower (50-55°F.) For 20-40 seconds, and then take a
warm shower (about 100°F.) For 1-2 minutes. Alternate the cool shower
with the warm shower sequences for 3-4 more series.
Remember, don’t get your head wet. Towel off and take a 15- minute
break before reentering the sauna. This is a good time to re-hydrate
the body. Slowly drink 8-12 ounce glass of cool juice or electrolyte
drink. Implement this practice for 1-2 hours post-sauna use as well.
17
ALWAYS follow the protocol of spending 6-10 minutes in the sauna and
then leaving to follow the cool-to-warm shower series, etc.
18
2:00 PM, and the third major meal (supper) at 6:00 P.M. The 2:00 PM. and 6:00
PM meals are eaten immediately upon completion of the even-hour neural blitz
micro-training session.
Then, DO NOT train for 2 hours until the next even hour (4:00 P.M. and 8:00
P.M. respectively). Realize that these times can vary depending upon what time
you wake up, eat, and begin the ODJSP.
More than likely, lunch and supper will be eaten in your vehicle at the gym (unless
you are training at your own home gym), so prepare the foods (bananas, cheese
slices, oatmeal, papaya spears, whole wheat pasta, egg whites, sweet
potatoes/yams, steamed brown rice, low-sodium water packed tuna, skinless
chicken and turkey breasts, watermelon, flank steak, lean ground and roast beef,
etc.) ahead of time at home. Poached egg whites (prepared ahead of time)
topped with a cup of unsweetened frozen or fresh strawberries (when in season)
is an excellent protein dessert. You can add a teaspoon of fructose if you wish.
Pack the food items and plenty of low-sodium ice cold and/or distilled water in a
cooler and lug it to the gym.
It is important to know that a loss of as little as 3% of your bodyweight in water
can cause a 15% decrease in performance. Therefore, during the 12-hour
ODJSP, I recommend a judicious hydration, via water, prior to, during, and after
the workout(s).
Drink at least 2 pints prior to the workouts, then 3-6 ounces every 15 minutes
thereafter from 10:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. After the final micro workout at 10:00
PM, drink at least a pint of water for each pound of water weight lost.
Very cold water is best (40-50 degrees F). A lot of bodybuilders add ½ teaspoon
of lime and/or fresh (not reconstituted) lemon juice to the water. Include a sugar
substitute to taste, if you wish.
Iced coffee is a nice treat once in awhile: 8 ounces of decaffeinated coffee with
one teaspoon powdered skim milk and a pinch of cinnamon, on the rocks. As
mentioned in a previous report, some individuals drink up to six-and-a-half
32-ounce bottles of ice water a day, but not if there is a kidney disorder or you
are taking diuretics.
Tip: Fill 2-liter water jugs halfway with distilled (not spring) water and store in the
freezer Friday night. The following morning, fill the other half of the jugs with
water. Place the jugs in the cooler with food items. The half-frozen water jugs
will keep food cold and also provide plenty of cold water to drink during the day of
the NODBS.
With a little luck, perhaps the gym where you will be training will have a decent
food and juice bar and you won’t have to bother with as much prior food
preparation. For more thoughtful nutritional planning, visit www.davedraper.com

(click on Weekly Columns). Also please refer to the Addendum following this
eReport for a couple of dial-in recipes.
From 7:00 AM on, and after each even and odd hour neural blitz
micro-training session, take in 15 grams of complete protein
source if your lean bodyweight is under 198 pounds. If you are
over 198 pounds, take in 23 grams of a complete protein source.
I have known some bodybuilders to take 2-3 desiccated liver and amino acid
capsules every hour plus one soft- or hard-boiled egg every hour as well. (See
Addendum for a special secret egg technique/recipe.)
20
A mediocre bodybuilder might express his belief like this: "I'd like to be an iron
warrior bodybuilding champion some time, maybe, if it's not too hard." Lee
Haney, eight-time Mr. Olympia, puts it this way: "I want to be a champion. That's
what I see Lee Haney as, a Champion. There's nothing wrong with having a
healthy ego. That's why there are sheep and there are shepherds." Notice the
difference between the two beliefs?
Vision is the appropriate and attainable short- and long-term goals. Adding 1/2
inch to the arms in one day is a short-term goal.
Method is the process used to fulfill the vision. For example, the process for
fulfilling the vision of adding 1/2 inch to the arms in one day can be achieved by
following the advice in this SPECIAL How To Build Incredible Arms eBook.
It is important that you begin thinking like an iron warrior bodybuilding champion
by adopting the mind power doctrine of Belief, Vision, and Method. Doing this
will help you access the reservoir of untapped strength within your body. This is
vital, especially if you are into the advanced stages of, say, German Volume
Training, where the program becomes such a bully that you may begin to
experience self-imposed limitations of frustration, doubt, and indecision. You
may even begin to question your energy, endurance, sanity, and willingness to
carry a program such as German Volume Training to its completion.
Such self-imposed limitations are indeed major barriers of the subconscious mind
and, as a result, can cause temporary lapses of mental concentration. It is abso-
lutely paramount that you let go of disruptive influences such as frustration,
doubt, and indecision and focus on the light of total awareness or laser
concentration (metaphysical) needed to complete a program such as German
Volume Training or others.
To condition the subconscious mind in the manner that Bill Pearl described
requires the implementation of a couple of self-actualization resources.
First, begin reprogramming your subconscious mind with some very precise,
measurable, and powerful motivational affirmations. Here are some examples:
Mentally or audibly with full force and conviction, say (to yourself):
"I will train each occurring set of a select exercise (call out the name of the
exercise) with focused intensity."
21
"I will conquer and dominate each set with an unchained will to triumph
and succeed."
"I will prevail in the moment and take myself to absolute physical levels
that surpass and rival previous ones."
I will conquer and dominate every single rep of the upcoming set and get
progressively stronger while doing so."
"Today I will perform the most intelligent, rigorous, and locked-in priority
workout of my life."
Notice the emphasized words in each of the motivational affirmations. They are
called "trigger words" and serve as a mental stimulus to unite the muscle fibers in
your being to respond to their fullest potential. You can choose other trigger
words and specific and concise positive reinforcement phrases if you wish.
22
Specific/concise reinforcements are measurable, meaning that two independent
people should be able to agree within acceptable limits that the reinforcements
occurred or did not occur. Weak reinforcements are less defined and much more
difficult to measure in terms of results.
So, with a burning inner conviction, emotionally, with all of the force, all of the
drive, and all of the desire (desire is the font of will power) that you are capable of
feeling, mentally or verbally repeat 10-15 times your favorite precise,
measurable, and powerful motivational affirmations. As you continue to repeat
these phrases, you will begin to feel absolute sensations of unchained power
flowing, pulsing, and surging through you both mentally and physically.
Simply stated, you will mentally visualize (like seeing a series of pictures on a
movie screen), by bringing images into the mind, all the simple and complex
elements associated with the forthcoming workout.
Now, begin mentally to empty your mind of all thoughts that do not pertain to the
workout. Don't let intruding thoughts attract your attention. This could be any
thought such as what you did yesterday, what you are going to be doing after the
23
workout. Sometimes a remark that someone made that you didn't particularly
like will pop back into your head, but don't let it.
Drive away the nagging negative voice from the dungeon of your subconscious
mind that might be telling you to skip your workout for one reason or another.
Mentally see yourself well rested, recovered, and stronger from your last workout
a couple of days ago.
Finally, see yourself at the conclusion of the workout with a bone-deep, growth-
producing, vein-choked pump in the muscles of the upper arms.
When the mental pictures and related sensations that you expect to see are clear
and vivid in the mirror of your mind, open your eyes. Your should now have an
unyielding commitment, intense desire, determined persistence, and powerful will
to succeed moving, flowing, pulsing, and surging through your entire being.
It's time then to get up out of the chair and step into the hardcore trenches of the
gym.
Your mind must be time-locked (cohesive) with the muscles in order to do battle
with the heavy iron. Begin by picturing in your mind's eye the bench, the bar, the
plates. Imagine this so intensely that you can smell the sweat, feel the knurling
on the bar, hear the plates rattle, and so forth.
If you are going to be performing the classic standing two-hands barbell curl, for
example, recreate all of the exercise mastery techniques that are necessary for
the successful completion of each gut-wrenching rep of the set.
24
The more organized and detailed you can make this ritual of mentally focusing in
one-set intervals, the better chance you will have for training to the outer limits of
muscular size and strength. Here's another way to explain it. Think of how
organized and detailed the ritual of mental imagery-rehearsal would be if it
related to making love to a beautiful woman. The details are never slippery or
vague. They're always clear and vivid.
Tip: During your workout, play your own favorite high-energy music to trigger
strong energy responses.
Closing Thoughts
I have explained the mind power doctrine of an iron warrior in very general and
broad terms. This is thoughtfully done, because accessing peak performance is
highly individual. To awaken the sleeping giant within, I suggest you visit the
following websites for more information on mental training:

Develop the positive mental attitude of a champion Iron Warrior by thinking BIG
and thinking SUCCESS. Never give in. Conceive, Believe, Achieve your goals
and dreams. Commence positive action. Do this and your muscle size and
strength can't help but grow, Grow, Grow!!!
#13. Exaggerated Measurements
This is terrific progress considering you probably haven’t made this much
progress in the previous months of brutally hard arm workouts.
25
#14. Two Days After
DO NOT workout at all on Sunday and Monday. Aggressively begin to utilize the
appropriate Physical and Mechanical Restorative Modalities to accelerate the
complete recovery process of the localized muscles, biceps/triceps, and the
central nervous system.
Refer to #1. The Week Prior, on page 4 and in the Addendum, pg. 30 “A Quick
Review” #17 for the training protocol.
The Jump Start One-Day Bicep Blitz Program is just that, a 24-hour system.
After one day, the muscle gains generally stop. Some pro bodybuilders have
gone so far as to use modifications of the blitz system described in this report.
The modifications include training two days in a row rather than just one, and
they will use two different core “growth” exercises such as the Supinated
Dumbbell Incline Curl (biceps) and EZ-Bar Close-Grip Bench Press or perhaps
the Parallel Bar (Vertical) Dips for triceps (exercise descriptions not included in
this eBook).
The 19 time compression workouts remain the same. This is the extreme rather
than the norm. Generally most bodybuilders will use the ODJSP Program two
times a year at the most and on a different muscle group such as the
quads/hamstrings and/or calves (See Bonus Section at the end of this eReport).
Summary
The ODJSP seems to encourage upper arm growth for a couple of reasons.
The first reason is that each even and odd hour and half-hour methodic training
session takes only approximately 15-20 minutes. This accumulated work time
will allow you to demonstrate a very acute level of the mind-to-muscle link during
each and every set of the selected exercise.
26
The second reason the Bicep Blitz system works so efficiently is that,
conceivably, you are performing 100+ sets for the arms, and that’s 3 or 4 (or
perhaps 10) times the amount of sets they are used to, and they have no other
option but to grow closer to their genetic limits.
I realize that a lot of bodybuilders train in what is termed scientific theory, and
they may conclude that the ODJSBBP won’t work and is nothing but fancy. Of
course, they are welcome to their personal opinion. Practical experience through
Jay Schroeder’s extensive research and development of this rather unique
training methodic has proven it will work, perhaps not on all but on most
bodybuilders.
Jay is the first to admit that the Neural (as he prefers to call it) One-Day Blitz
System is not new, but is a great improvement on the original. How?
Prior traits of training protocol are assessed from individual to individual. These
assessments include exercises (compound and isolationary), order sequence of
the exercises, average training loads, volume, rest periods, and frequency of
training per week and month.
Other assessments are taken into serious consideration as well, including actual
physical performance of each exercise, kinetic sense of the body, restoration
knowledge and use, emotional training and control, as well as the development
of the “will”.
Jay then analyzes the various traits just mentioned and from this is able to
custom design an individual (not group) ODJSP for just about any muscle group
desired, which in turn allows the bodybuilder to achieve maximal neural and
muscle adaptation.

Plus
Arms: Exercise Mastery Descriptions
Equipment Needed
Barbells (straight bar and EZ-Bar)
Nylon Tape Measure
Athletic Adhesive Tape
Magnesium Carbonate Chalk
Analgesic Balm
Cryo Cup Ice Massage Tool, ice packs & cubes
Vibrator Massage Unit (optional)
Nike Dri-FIT Bicep Bands (optional)
German Volume Training (or GVT) is one of my favorites. DO NOT workout at all
two days prior to the NODBS.
With a nylon tape measure, take a cold-arm(s) girth measurement. Eat a meal
that will induce sleep. Retire to bed early (9:30-10 PM) so that you get 8 hours of
sound sleep.
Arise at 6:00 AM. Take a shower and eat a hearty breakfast. From 6:00 A.M. to
10:00 AM, your body’s core temperature will rise.
During a 12-hour time grid from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, perform a brief, brutal,
and intense time compression workout for the biceps and triceps (see #6, 7, 9,
10 below).
29
#5. Ice Pack Therapy
Prior to the beginning of each even hour schedule, apply an ice pack on the
abdomen for a 3-minute time period. The rationale for this has been previously
explained.
Perform Single rep sets of each (Core “Growth” Exercises A1 & A2) while using
90%+ of a maximum single effort (MSE). Rest- pause 20 seconds between each
single rep set (e.g., 1r>20 sec rest, etc.). Terminate doing the Single rep sets
only when the full exercise range of movement in the upward phase of the
rep begins to fail (½ or ¾ reps).
#7. Even Half-Hour Schedule (10:30 AM, 12:30, 4:30, 8:30 PM)
Perform Explosive pause reps (Core “Growth” Exercises A1 & A2) for 3 sets x
2 reps (consecutively) with 85%+ MSE. Rest 1 minute between sets.
Approximately 5 minutes prior to the beginning of each odd hour schedule, apply
a liberal amount of an analgesic balm to each arm. Vigorously massage the
ointment into first one arm, then the other, for about 2-2 ½ minutes each.
A certified masseuse can teach you a variety of different massage strokes for
better overall results. Another option is to use a vibrator massage unit on each
arm for one minute each.
Perform Rebound reps (Core “Growth” Exercises A1 & A2) for 5 sets x 2 reps
(consecutive) with 85%+ MSE. Rest one minute between each set.
#10. Odd Half-Hour Schedule (11:30 AM, 1:30, 5:30, 9:30 PM)
Perform Manual overspeed reps (Core “Growth” Exercises A1 & A2) for 5 sets
x 2 reps (consecutive) with 70% MSE. Rest-pause 1.5 minutes between each
set.
Upon completion of each odd half-hour schedule, perform the ice massage
protocol (as described previously) for 2-2 ½ minutes each.
Breakfast at approximately 6:15 AM, lunch 2:15 PM, and supper 6:15 PM. The
PM meals are eaten after completion of the even-hour workouts.
30
#13. Hourly Protein Pump (continuous feeding)
After each even and odd hour “time compression” micro-workout session,
consume (depending on your lean bodyweight) 15 to 23 grams of a complete
protein source.
Survival Pointers: When you are not eating, applying ice, etc., use these times
to recuperate and at the same time internally refocus your training behavior for
the next upcoming micro-workout sessions using the mental techniques (Stages:
I-II) discussed in “The Mind Power Doctrine of an Iron Warrior” (pages 20-24).
Control the emotion of “CHOKING” (coming unglued under pressure) and refocus
mentally, “Seize the Warrior Spirit”, and the outcome of the remaining micro-
workouts will successfully take care of themselves.
While the upper arms still have a vein-choked pump, assume a double or single
front bicep pose. Measure the girth of each arm with a nylon measuring tape.
DO NOT workout at all on Sunday and Monday. Refer to page 25 #14. Two
Days After.
Rest on Sunday, and then at the beginning of the next week, begin another cycle
of German Volume Training (GVT), Charles Poliquin style..
[*Note: Doing a total body workout in GVT style may compromise the energy and recovery ability
of many bodybuilders. The least compromising alternative is to train major and minor muscle
groups on different training days. For example, Day 1: quads, calves forearms. Day 2: pecs,
back, abs. Day 3: delts, biceps triceps.]
Finally, use the ODJSP one day out of every 180 days, or 2 times per training year at most.

ARMS: EXERCISE MASTERY DESCRIPTIONS
A1: Classic Standing Two-
Hands Barbell Curl
(Technique-Emphasis)
32
The bar can always be bent back to its original shape. This is
accomplished by positioning the bed at its highest point and then
placing a piece of wood (e.g., 2x4) on the center of it and
repeatedly hitting the wood with the edge of a heavy barbell plate
until the bar again revolves true.
Feet:
~ Space feet at least 15 inches apart (heel to heel) (if you are of
average height) and parallel to each other. Adjust the foot spacing
if you are shorter or taller than average.
~ Be sure that the shoes you wear have a sole that is flat (same
height) from heel to toe. Shoes with elevated heels can put you at
a 5-10 pound loss in exercise poundages used. Elevated heels tilt
the upper torso forward from a natural vertical plane, and this in
turn causes a faulty leverage for curling. This applies to curling
maximum poundages only and not to select cosmetic bodybuilding
techniques.
33
Back:
Trapezius:
Chest:
~ Inhale the deepest possible breath into the lungs. Doing this is
called Vital Capacity.
~ Hold the chest high so that the lower rib cage fans outward.
Abdominals:
Arms:
~ Grasp the bar with an under-grip – that is, with the palms facing
forward. Wrap the thumbs over the top of the bar and the fingers in
the opposite direction (under and around the bar).
~ Make sure the bar is as high into the meaty palms of the hands
(toward the wrists) as possible. This will almost occur naturally.
Hand-Spaced Grip:
~ If the hand spacing is off even as little as ½ inch, it can throw extra
strain on one arm or the other, and this may in turn result in failure
of the last rep in a double rep set.
34
~ It is a good idea to wrap the bar with some adhesive tape to
indicate the exact placement for each hand. This will help eliminate
any repositioning of the hands on the bar that might have otherwise
occurred.
~ As tightly as possible. Try to crush the bar. This is one of the best-
kept secrets of bodybuilding for squeezing a couple of extra reps at
the end of a conventional set of curls.
~ The body mechanics for the upward movement (short pull) are
done in exactly the reverse manner described previously (hips,
knee & ankle joint action).
~ With the arms straight and taut, slowly and smoothly begin to pull
on the bar. Don’t “yank” on it.
~ The legs will begin to extend; forcefully extend the hips forward
while moving the upper torso back to a vertical posture.
~ The arms should be fully extended with the hands in line with the
wrists and forearms (I call this wrist tension). Keeping the arms
fully extended prior to the actual curl creates a very strong stretch
reflex in the biceps muscles, which results in a stronger muscle
35
contraction. If the arms are bent even slightly prior to curling, it will
negate biceps strength.
~ The upper arms should be tight against the sides of the rib cage
with the elbows locked above the hip bones and aligned under the
shoulders.
~ Don’t allow the elbows to flare out from the sides, as this can create
a faulty leverage and put a strain on the elbows.
~ Inhale a deep breath of air through your mouth into your lungs.
Hold it from the commencement (start) of the curl. Always breathe
through the mouth, as the nose simply is not equipped to take in or
expel large amounts of air in a short space of time.
~ Flex (bend) at the elbow joint while “tensing” the biceps muscles
and begin moving the barbell in a semicircular motion or wide arc
forward and upward toward the shoulders or neck.
Elbow Orientation:
~ At the halfway point in the upward movement of the curl, the elbows
will begin to move forward and upward, thus allowing the powerful
deltoid muscles to get involved in the curling action.
36
the barbell wasn’t being lifted against gravity. Vince and others
such as John Parrillo (nutrition and training guru) felt that, when the
elbows were as vertical as possible (humerous bone kept aligned
with the body) and motionless, there was more of and isolationary
effect on the bicep belly. Vince also believed (and proved) that
dropping the shoulders down and pulled back further added to the
isolationary effect.
~ Having said that, I must mention that Joe Bucci, a former Mr. World
title winner, had an upper arm that measured as much as 21 inches
in circumference. A part of his success in achieving this monster
arm measurement had to do with elbow orientation when doing
curling movements. He would raise or push his elbows upward to a
parallel position to the floor near the completion of the lifting
segment of the curl. Joe felt that this contributed to one of the most
dramatic tension curves ever. An added benefit to pushing the
elbows was that he created a rather unusual peak and separation
between the biceps and deltoids.
~ For the methodics required in this Special Big Arms eReport, I’m
going to suggest that you allow your elbows to move forward and
upward (naturally), perhaps striking a balance somewhere in
between the suggestions of the Gironda/Parrillo camp and Joe
Bucci.
Curling to Completion:
~ Complete the curling of the barbell in a semicircular motion (wide
arc upward) to the shoulders. As the curls near completion, the
palms will be facing inward at approximately shoulder level. The
forearms should cover the upper arm (biceps).
Lowering the Barbell:
~ Lower the barbell down, under control, by moving the elbows down
and back to the sides of the body. In a synchronized manner,
begin to straighten (extend) the lower arm until you feel the triceps
“lock out” at the bottom of the curl. If you can imagine yourself
locking out in the bottom position of the Reverse-Grip Triceps
Extension on a lat machine, you will understand the feeling
(kinesthetic sense) I just described for the triceps lockout in the
curl. Get set to launch into the next rep(s) of the assigned
methodic.

A2: EZ-Bar French Press
(Technique-Emphasis)
Feet:
Back:
Trapezius:
Chest:
~ Inhale the deepest possible breath into the lungs. Doing this is
called the Vital Capacity.
~ Hold the chest high so that the lower rib cage fans outward.
Abdominals:
38
forward so that the shoulders are above or ahead of the EZ-bar.
Remember to keep the back flat and tensed.
Arms:
~ Part 1 – With the arms straight and out, and gripping the bar as
tightly as possible, begin slowly and smoothly to pull on the bar.
Don’t “yank” on it.
~ Keep the EZ-bar close to the body, and when it reaches a point just
above the knee level, begin to bend the arms (leading with the
elbows – move them away from the body). The mechanics of
action will appear similar to arm action of an upright rowing motion.
Remember to keep an upward pulling pressure on the bar.
39
Many Olympic lifters can execute the thrust and rotate sequence as
quickly as .04 of a second.
~ When pressing, be sure the elbows are out to the side and spread
apart.
~ EXHALE!
~ Viewing the starting position (from top to bottom), for the A2: EZ-
Bar French Press.
Traps – Taut. Back – Flat and tensed. Chest – held high. Abs –
tensed. Legs – Completely extended, knees locked (some
bodybuilders prefer a soft lock in knees). Feet – Shoulder width
apart or wider and parallel to each other.
~ Inhale a deep breath of air through your mouth, into your lungs.
Hold the air in from the commencement (start) of the EZ-Bar
French Press.
40
~ Now, in a very controlled and precise manner, start flexing
(bending) at the elbow joints and begin to lower the EZ-bar
downward and backward in a semicircular arc behind your head.
Elbow Orientation:
~ Exhale forcefully the air from your lungs approximately two thirds of
the way to the overhead arms-extended position.
Rep Speed:
~ Lower the EZ-bar behind your head with you in control of its
descent. Don’t lower it too quickly; you could end up irritating your
elbows.
41
~ Generally, lowering the bar to the bottom-stretch position should
take twice as long as extending the EZ-bar back to lockout
overhead. An example would be to lower the bar at a 4-second
count and extend it up in 2 seconds.
The Standing EZ-Bar French Press can be executed effectively in other ways:
Lying (supine) – This variation is usually done on a flat exercise bench. A safer
means would be to lie on the floor, the advantage being a spotter or helper is not
generally needed. Other ways are Seated Upright (back supported), Inclined
(45 degrees), Declined and Kneeling.
I have personally used all four variations, but there is one that I found to be the
most effective. I would sit on the floor with mid/lower back supported against the
end of the secured flat exercise bench, legs outstretched. A training partner
would straddle the bench from behind me and hand me the loaded bar at the
required start position for a particular training methodic.
If you lack flexibility in your shoulders you will find it to your advantage to forego
the Standing, Seated (on a bench of floor), and kneeling postures in favor of
Lying and Inclined (45 degrees) EZ-bar French Press.
As Dave Draper (author of the book Brother Iron, Sister Steel - see
www.davedraper.com on the Internet), the blond bomber, has said on many
occasions, “tendonitis prowls”. If at any time you experience soreness in the
inner elbow (medial epicondyle) and/or outer elbow (lateral epicondyle), initiate
Cryokinetic Ice Massage (Physical Restoration Modality) mentioned in this
Special Incredible Arms eBook.
Perform the Standing EZ-Bar French Press as described, and the triceps can’t
help but swell with incredible thickness and power.
For those of you wondering about the rationale for using and EZ-bar instead of a
conventional straight bar, it is simply this: Many bodybuilders prefer to use the
EZ-bar for extension movements because it gives more comfort by providing
dramatic pain relief in the wrists and lessens torque in the elbows, within any
variation of the EZ-Bar French Press.
