#7. Trust Your Machine
While there is a ton of information about the ‘right process’ of bodybuilding, you can find more than you can read or use. Jay doesn’t believe in following them. You can find almost unlimited articles on weights, frequency, volume, training times and advanced techniques, getting published every now and then.
Jay stays up on all of this but believes in following what he feels the need is. “I train whenever my body feels ready to train, what works for you today may not work tomorrow.”
#8. Eat Like A Champ
A balanced diet is as important as following all the other rules. Even if you don’t want to be a Mr. Olympia, you should follow a proper diet to bring meaningful changes to your body, energy, health as well as athletic performance. You should not only take care of what you eat when you are at home but also when you are at work or while you are traveling.
Jay says: “I tell people to put as much effort into their diet as they do in their weight training,” This type of approach will yield new and drastic change for anyone regardless of your goal.

#9. Don’t Be Afraid To Improvise
Improvise whenever you feel the need to. Although it is important to follow a particular strategy, you should never stop from improvising. Even if six sets of squats are scheduled, you can always stop after doing four if you feel that it is difficult for you to push it further. Similarly, you can stretch it to a set of eight if you think doing a set of six is not enough for you.
Jay says, it’s important to have a plan, but he says you should never be so consumed with the routine that you can’t improvise.
#10. Quad-Centrate
Lastly, Jay recommends following sets of quads. Jay’s quad routine includes those staples but includes the leg press, hack squat, front squat and walking lunges as well. Hit it from all angles and the results will be visible from all angles.
