Martial arts and fitness training expert, Julien Greaux, has over 20-years experience practicing, and competing in the fighting arts. He now offers his considerable talents to the wider health and fitness community, through his partnership with fellow fitness professional Jamo Nezzar, on the cutting-edge training site, jamcoretraining.com.
Julien, who has for many years, worked in the fitness industry, and due to the marketability of his physique, has been featured on the cover of over 20 magazines and developed a reputation as someone who is consistently in shape.
Further, Julien's professional manner and advanced knowledge base has advantageously enabled him to achieve stunning results as a trainer. These combined factors made him the obvious choice for Fitness/Mixed Martial Arts director at jamcore training.
Having arrived in America in 2002, from his native St. Barth in the French West Indies, Julien, 29, quickly began promoting his martial arts and fitness modeling skills. Julien's big break came when he was discovered by photographer Irvin Gelb, who eventually introduced him to Weider Publications - the rise has since been meteoric.
Now Julien aims to revolutionize the martial arts industry through the passion he has for all the fighting disciplines, combined with his MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) camp concept, which, through expert instruction from some of the world's greatest exponents, teaches its students how to integrate the various arts to become a physically and mentally superior athlete.
Along the way, Julien would like to discredit the perception that the martial arts serve as a breeding ground for violent thugs. "There are great potential benefits for everyone through the incorporation of mixed martial arts as an adjunct to their regular training programs," says Julien.
"Now I'm focusing on how I can promote the sport, so that people who have been resistant to martial arts can understand my passion for it, and hopefully be willing to try it for themselves, rather than allow preconceived notions and stereotypes to inhibit them." With experts like Julien leading the way, the martial arts are sure to gain momentum into the 21st century and beyond.

Discover how these unique HIT routines
muscularized the body of an
infomercial athlete.
By Andy McCutcheon
I’ve always been a person who would rather train at home than go to a commercial fitness center. I grew up in Cambridge, England, and I got my first barbell set in 1984 when I was 18. Shortly thereafter, I started lifting in my parents’ garage.
At that time in my life I was into the martial arts and I’d heard that weight training would make you into a better fighter. It certainly helped me. I trained consistently for several years and got hooked on bodybuilding. Basically, my goal was to get as strong as I could in all the basic barbell exercises. I even placed high in a couple of regional bodybuilding contests.
Mr. Olympia, Dorian Yates, was a judge for one of those contests and he invited me to workout a couple of times in his gym. What a treat it was to experience Dorian’s intensity up close. He was big, strong, and lean to an extent that was almost beyond belief. It was through Dorian that I first learned about the writings of Arthur Jones and Ellington Darden.

The Colorado Experiment
by Arthur Jones
From IronMan , September 1973, Volume 32 Number 6
The following is a brief, preliminary report of an experiment conducted at Colorado State University in May of 1973.
LOCATION . . . Department of Physical Education, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado.
SUPERVISION . . . Dr. Elliott Plese, Director of Exercise Physiology Lab., Colorado State University.
DATES ... May 1, 1973 through May 29, 1973 for one subject (Casey Viator), an elapsed period of 28 days . . . and May 23, 1973 for the second subject (Arthur Jones), an elapsed period of 22 days.
LEAN BODY-MASS and FAT CONTENTS determinations for both subjects were produced by the WHOLE BODY COUNTER under the supervision of James E. Johnson, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Radiology and Radiation Biology, Colorado State University.
PURPOSE of the EXPERIMENT . . . it is the author's contention that the growth of human muscular tissue is related to the intensity of exercise; increases in strength and muscle-mass are rapidly produced by very brief and infrequent training ... if the intensity of exercise is high enough.

How to Add Size on Your Arms – Quickly!
Arthur Jones's Unsuspected Secret
(This article involves an intriguing promise that Arthur Jones
issued in IronMan magazine during the early 1970s.)
by Ellington Darden, Ph.D.
"From only one workout," Arthur Jones announced, "I'll put half an inch of permanent muscle size on each of your upper arms!"
Jones's pledge was made to advanced bodybuilders, who were readers of IronMan. These men would do almost anything to add a fraction of an inch to their biceps and triceps.
Furthermore, Jones backed up his declaration with a remarkable guarantee:
"If you don't put half an inch of solid muscle on your arms, I'll pay your expenses to and from Florida."
As you can imagine, many bodybuilders made the journey to DeLand, Florida, in the early 1970s. I witnessed Jones put dozens of men through his workouts. And crazy as this whole challenge seemed, he actually made good on his promise. I never saw any of these men ask for his expenses to be reimbursed.
A quick half an inch of muscle on each arm? What was Jones's secret? How was he able to stimulate growth so fast?
The secret to such growth was totally unsuspected by most bodybuilders.
