Knowledge is a valuable thing and comes with a price
I myself am doing other things at moment and give this time around a miss but will certainly be interested in the future! Great idea Mark will be opening another opportunity monthly

@ayman. It doesn’t make those 2 programs obsolete at all. This is a program and members area with a very specific goal in mind. The goals if TSPA and Arms Blast are different. It is also more complex (as it needs to be) and trainees need time with the info as well as me on hand to answer questions and possibly even tweak the plan to their own lifestyle.
@Richard. Yes THT 4.1 will be coming for sure. And no I won’t be giving all my time to JnR, MuscleHack and all the free stuff will continue on as normal 😀

Hi Mark,
Shocked about the cost, but I don’t really know what business model you are running, so cannot comment any further.

But can we have more details/screenshots? Show the calculator but turn off the functionality maybe? Do you have detailed diet plans linked to calculator?

Does that mean you won’t be having a THT 4.1 update (free) later in the year. Will all your time and effort now me directed to the J&R site/members only.

Hey Mark, timing is off for me at the moment I know i’ll sign up for JnR at some point though, just got a whole load of other stuff going on at the minute and I wouldn’t give the program the time and dedication it deserves like I did with TSPA before. As for the price… i’m sure you didn’t just pluck it out of the air 🙂 it makes perfect sense to me pal, i’d have no qualms paying that when time comes, hope JnR is a resounding success and pans out exactly the way you have envisiged and I’ll see you on board in the future….

To all those that have purchased the program, please let us know about the results.

Mark, you’ll certainly be revising JnR as you discover new variables you want to add. What happens to the former 14-day signees who have already paid? They need to get new access or else it makes more sense to simply wait to sign up for a more refined version in the future. Or are future refinements included in the price? Also, I agree that those who have already purchased TSPA and AB (yes, like me) deserve a discount over the newbies who would be getting more.

If the content is totally new why would we still need the TSPA and the Big Arms?!! I assume the new content will make them valueless!
Do members have a way to communicate with you directly and get answers to their spcific needs; if any?

I was SO ready to jump in firs thing, but, I’m on a cutting cycle and the wallet is thin at the moment- but I’LL BE ON BOARD NEXT ROUND!!! The price tag is very appropriate, I’ve paid more for much less and I’ve no doubt this will deliver. Mark still provides huge tools for those that want to follow his other programs and diets for little and free.

I like everyone else was checking daily, to see when this site was gonna come out. All of your articles, THT and TSPA have caused such massive changes for me and it all just makes sense. However i unfortunatly wont be buying JnR, as £190 is too much for me, especially due to the fact that i already bought TSPA and am thinking of investing into arms blast soon, owners should have a price cut to say $210 ( $10 extra off for loyalty:P ). When the price drops a bit i will almost certainly fork out.
Keep up the good work though Mark and all other MuscleHackers

I absolutly agree with a lot of the sentiment here. Looks awesome but a discount for those who have bought previous programmes would have been nice. Currently this price is well beyond me. Still a fan though:)

Yes, I agree about the price point that many have raised. I’m sure it’s worth it – Mark’s an extremely knowledgeable and entertaining author.
However I think many like myself who purchased TSPA and Arms Blast will feel a little let-down that they don’t get a discount on the new program, considering those packages are included in the cost.
I can certainly understand Mark wanting to limit the program to those who are really serious, but I think the price point he has selected is limiting to those who are serious… and have bags of cash.
No point putting so much time and effort into something that no one can afford to buy, even if it is totally worth it. You can advertise a Ferrari for $100k but still hardly anyone could buy it.

I think selling the program at a lower (not bargain) price will result in probably 3x the sales, and still be a manageable volume of people who are dedicated. Or perhaps offering a discount to existing clients, particularly as the programs they already bought are included!
Regardless, I’m still a great fan of Mark & Musclehack, and will continue to recommend his site to others!

Mark as a TSPA customer I think would have been much simpler if you would have offered your new program with a price of $297. The 14 day membership is confusing and not sure what it buys you besides a 14 day window to download the program information.

Just my 2 cents.

By: Mark McManus

Mark McManus — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 22:02:45 +0000

@stickupkid. Yes, people get all they need in the 2 weeks then I hope to open a window for fresh recruits every month or every 2 months at most. It will be a continually rolled out for people 🙂

stickupkid — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:53:24 +0000

Mark if you could open a window evey month for membership would be a great idea 🙂 At the moment times are hard unfortunately I won’t be purchasing yet but maybe two months down the line.

Hi Mark,

I am another serious trainee, now one among those thousands unfortunate 🙁 around here who just can’t afford. I don’t have a single doubt on the results of this program. Like other guys I was also very excited and as somebody mentioned above, I was expecting somewhere 20-25$ per month kind of package. Might be worth rethinking around your strategy mate. I am sure thousands are already desperate around.

Cheers
Imran

@donnie. The current “class” ,if you will, will end in 14 days. I will probably allow people to enroll again in August sometime.
@Alexander. Yes it is definitely all new content.

By: Mark McManus

Mark McManus — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 20:02:30 +0000

Guys, the choice here is a few dedicated trainees who will follow this thing to the letter and succeed VS a lot of people who’ll do it half-assed for a lower price.
Also, I wouldn’t be able to give a lot of people the attention they need should they require me.
Having said that, I will monitor this and if it turns out that a lower price is workable, I will do so. Anyone who joins at the higher rate will of course receive the difference back ASAP. This has to suit both student and teacher. I personally would have preferred just a small number of serious trainees. But my aim, as always, is to keep my guys happy – and I will.
The amount of money people shell out on bogus supplements, ineffective programs, and terrible trainers should put this in perspective. In comparison, a program that actually allows you to build and burn at the same time is well worth it in my opinion (not to mention the amount of work that went into creating it).
But like I say, I’ll always keep my readers happy, so fear not, I’ll take care of y’all 😉

£90 and I would be in and I think most others would too. Please revisit your Price point 🙂

Wow! I was super exited about gettting the JnR program BUT I guess I will save for a bit. I understand that you can only take on so many poeple but when will you kick them out and take on more? In fourteen days? I dont want to miss out but would like the time to save so I can afford it too!

Hi Mark,

I’m a huge fan and I’ve read all your posts (yes, all of them) and purchased all of your products (TSPA and Big Arms). I am ready to jump aboard the ‘Jacked n Ripped’ train, but I want to make sure the program contains new/different information than what is already in your other material before I lay down the cash. Thoughts?

By: Muhammad

Muhammad — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 18:24:17 +0000

I think it makes sense to have that kinda price to make sure only those who are are truly serious get in.
That said if you can’t afford it but are truly serious, I reckon you already have TSPA. And in my opinion, TSPA, THT, G.L.A.D. and perhaps the arms blast experiment are as good an arsenal as any serious musclehacker would have. TSPA has worked wonders for me and while im really excited about JnR, I can’t help but think, do i REALLY need something new?
Instead im gonna keep JnR in mind till the day I’ve totally exhausted my current resources, and have built both my body and bank account to enable me to sign up for JnR with 100% confidence and no second thoughts.

Thanks for all your work Mark, I’m looking forward to the day i join JnR.
And to all you other musclehackers, stay awesome! Im sure you’ll get what you want eventually

I personally don’t think this is too expensive but probably like many others was expecting a “Members Only” monthly subscription due to the way it was sort of being “pre-sold” and had around £30 a month in my head for some reason. As I still want to be on the totally different THT program for another 20 weeks yet, I’m hoping that you are planning on having new members at least once a month, as I would like to sign up to this after this 20 weeks THT. Would be useful to know if there will be a support forum once the 14 days is up for people who have signed up.

I just want to add that there are alot of us that would be serious trainees Mark but feel like we’re being left behind because we can not afford it , Im living in ireland and get payed less than that a week. Could you not do a monthly debit order to pay it off?

About the 14 day access…
After 14 days you’ll have everything you need with you, the workouts and nutrition know-how (and your calculator). There’s simply no need to be there for any longer than this. I may run a membership once every month or bi-monthly, guys, but anyone who has subscribed once will never need to sign up again – it’s a one-off. It’s all you’ll need.
