Why I DON’T Think Bodybuilding Is Exciting – OmarIsuf

Personally I prefer 3 rep maxes and 6 rep maxes. XD One rep maxes scare me.

Omar, it's time to switch to MMA

Bodybuilding is boring you? You don't know about the greats. I worked out with one of the best top 99.9 percentile lifters, and he can do 80 sets every 45 minutes no rest in shock superset circuits he does 3 times a week 48 hours apart from eachother. That means he can do Jay Cutler's Mr. Olympia 150 sets full body routine at 90 minutes, and the lifter I speak of does workouts much harder than Jay Cutler's, because the lifter's routine is sport specific for Football where the about 20 sets per muscle group is all the power movements per muscle group, way harder where you have to be really advanced to complete and do it on a regular basis. He does it now after 30 years old and he did it in his early 20s on a college football team his other teammates regularly did where his bench was 565 pounds, his squat and deadlift were each over 600 pounds.

At 19 years old Jay Cutler could bench press 550 pounds for 2 reps, and squat around 700 pounds for a couple reps ass to grass, he could easily squat 500 pounds 10 times ass to grass but probably could have done a lot more. He says he's leg pressed 1300 pounds for 8-10 deep reps a set, and that he regularly leg pressed 1000 pounds 20-30 deep reps in each set but I don't know at what age he was at. Ronnie Coleman is really strong too.

I went into detail of back tracking and working up from a beginner to advanced routine. This also talks about what the strongest men ate over a century ago for the primary dietary factors. Recommends to get all information Dinosaur Training offers.

Here's a week workout for Phil Heath who does 30 sets for some muscle groups twice a week (he does 24 sets for back, and then 30 sets for back, in both cases those are split up upper back and lats so less than 20 sets for each area, and 6 sets traps), 30 sets for shoulders once that week, for legs he does 11 sets for each quads and 22 sets for hamstrings twice a week, 18 sets for chest then 14 sets for chest), and works out major muscle groups twice a week. This is one workout of his, but I don't know what he does every workout:

Here's parts of a routine of Lee Priest:

http://swoletra.com/lee-priest-workout-routine-and-diet-plan/

Jay Cutler the best bodybuilder had great muscular development at just 18 sets per muscle group range. I think it's best to stay in that area and then do it twice a week. Using pre-fatigue principals like he does alot of multiple related lifts is really effective for this.

Tom Platz recommends twice a week a muscle group really shows the muscular development and makes it pop out.

Lee Priest gave an advanced workout with 27 sets for biceps, 30 sets for triceps, 20 sets for forearms, but I couldn't find what he did for legs, upper back, chest, and shoulders.

Lee Priest can arm curl over 300 pounds and squat 775 pounds 6 times in a set. He says he always goes to failure. He does 30 sets per muscle group and he goes to failure every set. I don't believe he uses belts, knee wraps, or wrist wraps during lifting. That 30 sets per muscle group is in one full body split a week, but if he did a full body split twice a week that would look really good (that's 30 sets per muscle group per full body split, but 60 sets per muscle group per week of 2 full body splits).

He was skinny when he was young, so it was all mind for him to develop his physique. Before weightlifting and sports, Jay Cutler was small, he's medium height, and in his Olympia days he had excellent recovery inbetween sets with regular genetics. He just had great work ethic cementing for the family business, bucking hay on a farm growing up, playing High School Football proficiently, but also went to college university. He developed more great work ethic with sports. Dorian Yates before he started lifting in his teens was very small like Lee Priest and Jay Cutler.

For diet primary factors are IGF-1, human growth hormone, and testosterone classic lifters and athletes in the early 1900s had. In the link in the other comment I talk about natural sources for those. Since liposomal deer antler velvet is too expensive in low quantities I would recommend liposomal colostrum which at 3-5 grams a day might give you plenty of IGF-1 and human growth hormone and up to 15 grams a day for IGF-1 and human growth hormone (humanotropin is another option that sells well but I don't know what levels it raises it to), Sovereign LD-liposomal colostrum has excellent reviews at 900 + reviews. I also mentioned cheap sources to naturally raise testosterone. IGF-1 and human growth hormone are necessary with testosterone for the overall growth, also for those that legally inject having all of those factors is necessary for best overall development.

In the late 1800s to early 1900s, and up to the 1930s and 1940s before anabolic steroids there were a good amount of big lean guys that applied the dietary and workout principals I spoke of to get bigger and stronger. Dietary of foods high in testosterone, IGF-1, and human growth hormone. Certain high mineral food sources also increase testosterone. They did Bulgarian lifting of full body everyday about 5 days a week, lifting heavy everyday also lifting with lighter high rep sets too, lots of grip work lifting heavy one handed and fingers. It can be attained the classic way, and it can be attained the modern way of injecting. You can put on 50 more pounds of muscle or much more the classic way depending how far you want to take it. They can be surpassed the classic way.

If you wanted to put on a lot more strength and size you may want to increase the sets to 20 sets of 150-200 sets. Bodybuilders start at 200 sets and master that, and then switch to 150 sets where they handle it much better and put on a lot more size. Lee Priest looked much better in his training than his competitions, he cut out too much muscle for competition but like his 1997 and 1998 training he looked amazing, not so much in his competitions in those years. I think if he didn't cut out his muscle he could have won 1st place in many Mr. Olympias.

He is the best bodybuilder as far as a fundamental quality lifter, one of the strongest lifters, his best lifting routines are excellent, and in his training he went very high sets in the 30 sets a muscle group range. It's know how, not genetics. I would still suggest doing a full body split in the 30 set a muscle group range twice a week (which is 60 sets a muscle group but I don't consider it to be 60 sets a muscle group). Jay Cutler is the best looking bodybuilder and he did about 18-20 sets a muscle group range at 150 sets a week, but began at 200 sets a week 40 sets a day 5 day split.

Lee Priest has had a lot of mass and definition on certain years as good as the best pro heavyweight bodybuilders, and on those years he did 8-12 rep maxes in sets such as this 1999 training for Mr. Olympia video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66nx2D2893g Later in the video it shows his muscular poses to show his mass and definition. It looks much better than his competitions including the competition that year.

It's good to start at about 200 sets in a full body split, 5 sets every lift, as this really develops those muscle groups to handle a lot of endurance. The focus is on getting 5 sets (warmup sets are only for the big lifts) instead of having 1 really good set, getting 20 sets a muscle group instead of just hitting one lift well. Jay Cutler did his routines at 200 sets like this, 40 sets a day in a 5 day split, but then he went down to 150 sets about 3 sets a lift barely any warmup sets except for the big lifts. He did better in competitions at 150 sets, but initially 200 sets at 5 sets a lift is really good for prepping the body before going down to 150 sets a full body split.

Bodybuild in the summer, powerlift in the winter 😎

I do agree, i switched to powerlifting because bodybuilding is quite boring in the long run, plus genetics plays a huge roll, it might not work for you but work for someone else, plus all what you do is lifting weights for higher reps to look good either for girls or to compete on stage (or any other reason), which is in my opinion it is not exciting at all, whereas in powerlifting, lifting heavy ass weights will make you physically stronger and you feel like you have achieved something, even competitions in powerlifting are exciting.

Strength training doesn't make someone look impressive. And there's no reason on earth to ignore bodyfat and overall muscular development when pursuing strength. Every single POUND of bodyfat on a powerlifter is one LESS pound they are lifting on a bar in the squat or deadlift. So lean powerlifting is better (*see Ed Coan) I enjoy both hitting a 10 or 25 rep max as much as I do a 5 to 3 to 1 rep max. I greatly enjoy both sides.

Partner training for me in training anything or any method…it's more of a distraction.

Sorry to break your heart Omar, but you will not get any significantly bigger either with bodybuilding or power lifting style training because you have reached your natural limit…

ROFL your neck is wider than your shoulders. It looks weird.

Its not for everyone.

I find the pain to be the exciting part does any know what I mean It’ll probably sound like I’m a weirdo if you don’t do it but if you do you’ll understand
