RR Health + Fitness Launches the Jacked Ass Method™, a Strength Training System Focused on Time Under Tension

DALLAS, TX - January 2025 - (USAnews.com) — — RR Health + Fitness today announced the official launch of the Jacked Ass Method™, a strength training system that prioritizes time under tension, movement control, and sustainable load management over traditional weight-centric training models. Developed by endurance-trained athlete and certified personal trainer Robert Renaud, the Method offers a structured alternative to high-risk, ego-driven lifting practices commonly seen in modern fitness culture.

The Jacked Ass Method™ reframes strength not as a test of maximum output, but as a process of building the body’s capacity to manage load efficiently and repeatedly without breakdown. By emphasizing controlled tempos, strategic pauses, and progressive tension, the Method is designed to support muscular development, improved aesthetics, and long-term joint health particularly in the hips and glutes.

“Most people aren’t failing because they aren’t strong enough,” said Renaud. “They’re failing because they were taught to chase heavier weight before they learned how to carry it. The Jacked Ass Method exists to reverse that sequence.”

A Method Informed by Endurance, Not Performance

Unlike many strength systems rooted exclusively in maximal lifting, the Jacked Ass Method™ was developed through years of endurance training and applied movement study. Endurance disciplines reward consistency, efficiency, and resilience which are qualities often overlooked in traditional strength environments that prioritize short-term performance metrics.

“In endurance training, ego gets exposed very quickly,” Renaud explained. “You learn that progress comes from managing effort over time, not from one impressive moment. That principle translates directly to how we should approach strength.”

This philosophy is reflected in the Method’s guiding archetype: the donkey. Historically relied upon for its ability to carry heavy loads over long distances without failure, the donkey symbolizes durability, patience, and dependable strength.

“The donkey doesn’t rush or perform,” Renaud added. “It carries what it’s given, day after day. That’s the type of strength this Method is built to develop.”

Why Time Under Tension Is Central to the System

At the core of the Jacked Ass Method™ is time under tension (TUT) specifically known as the cumulative duration a muscle remains actively engaged during a movement. Rather than emphasizing heavier loads or faster repetitions, the Method uses slower tempos, controlled eccentrics, isometric holds, and deliberate pauses to increase muscular demand while minimizing unnecessary joint stress.

This approach supports:

• Improved muscle development and appearance

• Greater motor control and coordination

• Enhanced connective tissue resilience

• Reduced spinal and joint loading

• Sustainable long-term training outcomes

While traditional heavy lifting remains effective for maximal strength development, RR Health + Fitness notes that it often lacks sufficient emphasis on control and capacity building especially for recreational athletes and long-term fitness enthusiasts.

“The Jacked Ass Method doesn’t reject heavy lifting,” said Renaud. “It prepares the body to handle it responsibly.”

Purpose-Built Tools That Support the Method

To demonstrate and support the Jacked Ass Method™ in practice, RR Health + Fitness developed two training tools engineered for controlled loading:

• The Jacked Ass Belt allows resistance to be placed directly at the hips during thrusting movements, reducing spinal compression and enabling athletes to accumulate meaningful time under tension without compromising form.

• Badonka Bands provide consistent resistance throughout a movement’s entire range of motion, reinforcing muscular engagement and stability during slow-tempo and isometric work.

Together, these tools support the Method’s emphasis on load placement, control, and repetition quality over maximal weight.

Redefining Progress in Strength Training

Rather than measuring progress by the amount of weight lifted, the Jacked Ass Method™ evaluates improvement through increased control, longer sustained tension, better alignment under fatigue, and reduced compensatory movement patterns.

“When the body learns to manage load calmly, strength becomes a byproduct instead of a risk,” Renaud said. “Our goal is to help people train hard without paying for it later.”
