Arnold blueprint to mass

I would honestly not recommend doing one of those arnold/bodybuilding routines unless you've been lifting for a while

Around 2 years now, started when I was 16 - is that not long enough do you reckon?

I'm in the same position as you. I personally don't do a bodybuilding routine but train more for strength and conditioning so therefore focus on full body compound movements in the gym. I'm happy so far with the aesthetic results, but more importantly I'm getting stronger and fitter, which is what I'm more interested in. My trainer advised me to stay away from a bodybuilding routine because I'd lose all my strength and athleticism, and replace it with functionless muscle. So tbh mate, if you're training purely to look good then I think with your experience you'll be okay and make some gains with that routine, however I still would recommend you train my way. But it's just advice - do whatever the **** you wanna do!

Cheers mate, I appreciate the advice! Are you a sprinter by any chance? When I competed in athletics, my trainer would also incorporate compound exercises for the exact reasons you've stated. But now that I've steered away from athletics I'm predominantly into the aesthetic side of things.

Iv been training for just over 2 years using the bodybuilding rep range of 8-15 reps mostly. Strength is greater than most people iv spoke to for the time iv trained, both for reps and 1 RPM. Also we just look so much better than a lot of powerlifters Bodybuilding ftw.

Still wouldn't recommend Arnold's blueprint to mass if you're still natural though.

How old are you mate? Post your lifts

That squat though 😦

Its just a standard bro split lol

20

Bench: 130
squat 165
deadlift 205

Heaviest weights iv done so far.....Apart from squat they seem to decent. Think I could get a better deadlift. Will get some PBs soon and post back

Solid bench mate (presume kg?). Rest are pretty good too but that one stands out the most for me. Sorry about the late reply btw

Yeahh kg, my chest is just genetically better than back I think. Put up a 210kg Deadlift yesterday. 230kg is my goal for next 8 weeks.

Haven't pulled 200 yet but hopefully sometime in the next month or two. My squat is by far my best lift and my bench is weak af in comparison.

My bans just been reversed on this account

What you squatting ? I find you can get more on the Deadlift than you think, my PB jumped from 140kg to 205kg within like 4 weeks of deadlifting, then again I used straps since I'm not into powerlifting.

Haha why were you banned? Tbf if you speak your mind on this site that usually does the trick I did 185 x 3 today. Currently deadlifting similar weight albeit for more reps; ngl am a bit apprehensive of that exercise as whilst it's an awesome strength builder, mess around with too heavy weight and it can snap your **** up! Can't bench 100 yet gonna force my body to in the next few weeks, push is the bane of all my lifts. Neither; am more into S and C
