G’day Shredders,

I have a special treat for you today…it’s the Quad Blaster Mega Edition! 

Behind The Scenes at Sphere 2.0

While ShredderSphere 2.0 is a private member’s only community (for RTP Transformation System customers only) today I’ll lift the veil and give you a sneak peek at one of our esteemed member’s most popular blog posts!

In this ShredderSphere 2.0 “Internal Blog” made on March 26, 2009, Celina builds her very own Quad Blaster and pays tribute to Carlos DeJesus (Quad Blaster inventor).

Note: Check out today’s RTP Time Machine to see what happened exactly one year ago today with me, Tom V and the Blaster!

 

“Celina’s Purple Blaster”

Thank You Carlos DeJesus!

Well, I decided to thank publicly Mr. Carlos de Jesus, Natural Bodybuilding Champion… for his very sincere comments on some of my posts, I really appreciate this man’s comments…I’ve learnt during my life to respect who respect deserves, and this man has it!

I’m afraid my English is not enough for me to express what I feel about people like him, or Adam, people that teach with example.. that practice what they preach… so that’s why we decide to follow them… to ask for advice and have them as mentors, as leaders.. I once read he very healthy meals (like tuna) on a Christmas Eve.. now, that’s commitment!… I guess he spent years without a cheat meal… I really love being close to that kind of people… so focused .. so… athletes…

Downloading The Blaster

So, to make a long story short, just as I saw I could buy a manual that would teach me how to build my own Quad Blaster, I did it… why? Because I trust this man, and I’m sure the price I paid, more than intellectual rights, is pretty short compared to how thankful I am to have reached this place and meet people like him, like Adam Waters, and like all the rest of the Shredders which undoubtedly are a big family now…

So, if you guys thought this was a manly thing to do… YOU WERE SO DAMN RIGHT!!… but hey… LET ME TELL YOU! I MANAGED EVERYTHING AND DID MY OWN QUAD BLASTER WITHOUT ASKING FOR HELP!! … huh? well…I feel better after letting that go out…

Building The Blaster

That drill is scary let me tell you, and I’m so lucky that I found my dad has some special tools I didn’t know he had… ha… the hammer, the screwdrivers, the sander (I was still shaking an hour after that!)… well… the unfortunate thing is that I couldn’t find some of the materials but I guess I did what I could with what I found… I will order the specific ones that Mr. Carlos de Jesus has on the manual…well… more images right?

And now, my Quad Blaster…. thank you Mr. Carlos de Jesus, for sharing that master piece.. I will take pictures before using it and after.. let’s see what happens to my quads…

 

RTP Time Machine: 1 Year Ago Today

Day 505: M4 Training Day with Tom Venuto – Full Pics (9 Comments)

G’day Shredders,

As I hinted at on Day 504: Clear & Present Danger, my leg training session with Tom Venuto on Day 505 was a real-world, real-time education in real intensity.

Before I show you the video featuring the world famous QUAD BLASTER invented by Carlos DeJesus, I’ll take you back in time to Day 356: RTP Group Shred – 1 week Down! on November 1, 2007 and share with you a snippet of an email Tom sent me that afternoon.

Day 356: Declassified Email From Tom Venuto

Day 400: Quad Destruction Imminent!

As you can see this Quad Blasting Destruction with Tom Venuto’s “toy” at Strong & Shapely Gym in New Jersey was a long time coming and something I used to motivate myself throughout the entirety of M4 when I was training legs.

Ok, enough of the buildup! Here is the video below.

Day 505: “Say Mercy To The Quad Blaster!”

Quad Blaster: Start Position

Note: To maintain maximum tension on your quads you don’t lock out at the top.

 

Quad Blaster: Finish Position

Note: To maximize the effectiveness of the Quad Blaster go below parallel (keeping your feet in front of your knees, chest out and head up) and do your reps in one continuous motion, i.e. don’t stop at the “top” or “bottom” of the movement.

Today is also special edition of the RTP Time Machine to pay tribute to my black shorts. I wonder how they’ll fit 8 years from now!

Until tomorrow…

Eat Clean, Shred Hard, Think BIG!

Cheers,

Adam Waters, NESTA-CPT
