I don’t adhere to fads nor gimmicks (how’d you guess that?) so i was skeptical at first, but then I got to know Rusty and his style of teaching.
As I leafed through the program, I came to realise that the guy just might know what he’s talking about.
After 6 months of Visual Impact – 24th December, 2010
Game, set and match
So it’s all over. What started out as a 6 month trial, is finally at an end. Looking back on it all, I’ve learnt a lot about what I can handle in terms of training intensity and duration. I’ve also learnt that I probably prefer cheat-days a little more than I should.
Am I please with the results of Visual Impact?
Absolutely. I’m pretty lean (especially considering December is a terrible time to be completing any kind of body transformation).
At the end of 6 months of Visual Impact
The tricks I used and will continue to use
Eat-Stop-Eat – I used this strategy once per week EVERY week whilst on Visual Impact.
Lean Gains – This is basically a shorter fasting strategy which I used in conjuction with Eat-Stop-Eat at least once per week.

How did i prevent muscle loss during Visual Impact?
By using BCAA’s before, during and after training.
This is VERY important when using a fasting regimen particularly when weight-training at the same time.
The body is hunting for nutrients at this point and will go looking for them in muscle mass if you don’t give them a BCAA spike. More on fasted training can be viewed here, whilst the powered form of BCAA’s I choose to use can be found here (no i’m not being paid to promote this product).
The last few days of my Europe holiday back in June, 2010. Looking a tad soft around the mid section
What I would change next time I used Visual Impact
I would be a lot more strict with my diet. I fell off the cart many a time with meals that were too heavy especially at night. Instead of eating a standard bowl of food for example, I found myself opting for a larger quantity. This was a big, fat, naughty no-no.
What’s next?
I’m going to keep cycling this program for a while longer to get back to a relatively good body fat level. As I write this, I’ve spent a week drinking and eating WAY too much. I feel soft and sluggish as I haven’t been to the gym for a little while. However, tomorrow is a new day, and I’m looking forward to getting back into my routine and feeling ‘good about myself’ once again.
