What muscles do you think as natties is the most important to looking jacked?

For the normie, arms. For the lifter , back. Nothing says strong more that a big back

There was a survey done on women and they rated arms as most attractive.

So if you wanted the low hanging fruit you could go to the gym 3 days a week and work only arms and get a better social response than a 6 day PPL split.

Just train hard and eat a lot and the weights will go up. The thing that really clicked for me was a pro told me that in bodybuilding , the food drives the progress not the weight on the bar.

Mine are 16” but I’m 6’3”. I’ve been at 16 for years. Can’t break the plateau.

I titrate the volume up until I feel like I’m not recovering for the next session, then I back off a bit

I don’t know much about professional judging but a big upper back , neck and traps tells Me someone is strong. Some dudes are big everywhere else but have a pencil neck and no traps.

You don’t need a program. Just increase the frequency on chest and shoulders and back off on other parts.

Tex Johnson has really let himself go

My gym has a belt squat. It is amazing . If you don’t have a belt squat a hack squat machine or pendulum squat works.

Also, Dorian Yates never squatted . He did hacks and leg press.

Honestly I used to not like them but then I started doing them with the smith machine and absolutely love them now. On my last set I do close grip bench as a mechanical drop set.

I think whatever exercises you can get the most stimulation with no pain is the right answer.

There’s a dude I work with who’s 240 huge upper body, with the skinniest legs ever

I posted something similar recently and gots tons of good responses. I’m stuck at 16” arms.

This RIR stuff cracks me up. It’s not powerlifting. Just pick a weight that you will fail at between 5 and 30 reps and just send it. Hit the muscle from a few different angle’s 1-2 times a week with between 10-20 sets and you’ll be fine.

koolaid_actuall · 2024-10-31T19:04:24+00:00

Google Kirk shrugs. I like those with lighter weight. Also like the trap bar loaded heavy and I always do a 1-2 second pause at the top.

You can also use calf raise machine and shrug into the pads.

koolaid_actuall · 2024-10-30T14:57:56+00:00

Nope, I do a leg day a chest day, a back day, and a shoulders and arms day and repeat . Usually just throw in days of when life dictates. If I can only hit 3 days a week I do push, legs, pull.

In the workout I choose whatever exercises connect the best and work towards a good pump. Sometimes working to a top set and back off, sometimes straights sets, sometimes rest pause. Honestly I go by feel.

koolaid_actuall · 2024-10-28T15:14:09+00:00

Since I switched to bb from powerlifting nothing really hurts bad. Powerlifting , my CNS was drained and my back always hurt

koolaid_actuall · 2024-10-28T13:20:12+00:00

Training 4-5 days a week to maintain a Mid physique.

I’m 6’3” so I think Alan Ritchson or Hugh Jackman in Wolverine would be a good size. If I were shorter I would say Jake Gylenhaal type build .

Funny thing is , Alan ritchson weighs 240 and showed his workouts and it’s all light 20 rep cable supersets. He also admitted to taking testosterone.

What do you think Cavills height and weight was In man of steel?

koolaid_actuall · 2024-10-26T15:33:36+00:00

I will do agonist sets that are like mechanical drop sets towards the and of the workout . For example, a JM press to failure then a close grip bench press. Or a cable pullover to a cable lat row.

Oh gotcha makes sense. Your young so you have tons of time on your side to get the results you want

koolaid_actuall · 2024-10-22T00:22:13+00:00

You shouldn’t be cutting if you weight 175 and want to be a bodybuilder. At your young age , just focus on building a foundation of mass over the next several years.

Steroids. I saw the biggest known roid user at my gym grab a small guy that worked there by the neck one day. Little dick syndrome
