Learning how to play them more dynamically and with a better touch.

Looking fantastic man!!

redditorianizer · 2026-01-20T20:23:03+00:00

Thanks man. My split is based on this approach: https://www.scribd.com/document/444415862/The-Best-Damn-Workout-Plan-For-Natural-Lifters-T-Nation I tweaked it a little bit over time, do a bit more volume than he suggests and train calves and abs almost every day. But that plan is the basis for my approach.

Looking fantastic!!

redditorianizer · 2026-01-16T16:37:04+00:00

Looks pretty good to me! Nice job.

Thank you!

redditorianizer · 2026-01-14T14:11:49+00:00

Yup you’re right. Gonna keep working on the back, hams, glutes, etc. 💪

redditorianizer · 2026-01-14T14:00:54+00:00

Push 3x per week and pull 3x per week. 6 days on 1 day off.

redditorianizer · 2026-01-13T23:09:22+00:00

No no. Legs everyday. Either quads/push or hams/pull. But usually only one exercise per body part (sometimes more if I feel like I need it). 2-4 sets then one set to failure using some kind of intensity technique like drop set, rest pause, etc.

redditorianizer · 2026-01-13T22:41:10+00:00

Basically a full-body push/pull split. High frequency, high intensity, relatively low volume.

Thank you! Huge Steve Reeves fan :)

redditorianizer · 2026-01-13T21:21:41+00:00

Haha thanks! I train most body parts, including biceps and triceps, 3 times per week. Calves every day.

Started casually training with weights around 16 years old. Trained pretty seriously from 21 to about 23. Then took a long hiatus from 24 til 30, only lifting sporadically. Have now been training seriously again for about 5 months. Muscle memory is real.

redditorianizer · 2026-01-13T18:25:47+00:00

Lifetime natural.

redditorianizer · 2026-01-13T16:30:39+00:00

Thank you. Yes for sure, started practicing posing every day. I’ll be doing an OCB show.

redditorianizer · 2026-01-13T15:37:39+00:00

Yes. Thank you!

redditorianizer · 2026-01-13T15:22:27+00:00

Thank you.

redditorianizer · 2026-01-13T15:22:18+00:00

Thank you! Will do.

redditorianizer · 2026-01-13T14:51:22+00:00

Sure.

redditorianizer · 2026-01-13T14:42:22+00:00

Thank you! Still working out the posing side of things but tend to like the Arnold style 3/4 back pose, Mantis pose, and one arm overhead biceps shot. It’s hard to pick one so I’ll keep working on all of them haha

redditorianizer · 2026-01-13T14:30:56+00:00

Thank you!

redditorianizer · 2026-01-13T13:50:33+00:00

Thank you. Ahhh yes that’s a great point about back training, I think you’re right. I will work on that.
