Does this type a training really keep ones physique a certain way a certain look , does it keep one from becomming blocky or mis-shaped these questions ive been asking myself year after year and I do beleive the old tactics not only WORK but keep ones physique in check and pleasing in the right areas.
Now people seem to have there own opinions on the old training of lets say Arnolds day, some say it was a myth Arnold never used to lift heavy or he was a powerlifter or he lifted for high BV or high reps and sets in the 20s. What ever they did back then created a certain look we can all admit that, it not only created a certain look but kept the body very pleasing almost like art(as they displayed themselves in pumping iron at an art show). What made them keep such a small waist and fuller musle bellies.
Todays athelets dont even look like atheletes lol, some BBers of today look atrocious, Some have a great look but most do not posess the old school physiques , now what is this reasoning is it simply Gh or slin or whatever else we have available OR is it the style of training and tactics one uses , many people will argue high BV isnt the right approach or it causes CNS dammage or doesnt give you the proper time to recover, well I say tell that to the old school boys, they didnt have half the experience, gurus, drugs, testing, gym equipment ECT but still somehow managed to come out looking phenomenal.
Im my personal opinion I beleive a combination of High blood Volume and heavy lifting is the right way to go, Its like throwing a complete curve ball into your weekly program, at first your body wont reconize it and seem as if its not reacting , but by the 3rd week I have pumps beyond my skin, I did shoudlers the other day with my trainer and yes I have a trainer who specializes in certain tactics of old he uses alot of hands on training hes always got his hands somewhere wether creating negetive force or helping with the positive, sometimes its alternating every other rep??? crazy shit, I have never felt such an intense pump in my life in my shoulders infact they turned a purplish blue and im tan as hell so it was shocking, i flexed and saw a different type of skin and tightness if this makes sense, I dont know what to say except when i woke the next day I couldnt wave goodbye to my girl from the door cause i couldnt raise my arms that high do to the intense sorness, it wasnt pain just a tight soreness.
I wonder how much logic there is to this or what the true meaning behind these methods may lead to, I must admit Iam a firm beleiver of High BV but i also need a heavy day as well its a mix that I bleiev works best at keeping the body in check, who knows the exact truth about this it could be one of thsoe things that scientifically cannot be proven no matter how may tests are done, to me its a mystery.

I think people wish for ultimate size to make up for what ever insecurities they have in life , too much of anything is bad my friend, so when is the line drawn? what is too much? You say smaller physiques well yes but muscle bellies were just as big if not bigger? Look at Nubret, Arnold, Mentzer just to name a few, sleek looking with huge ass muscle bellies, guys that look like they can wipe there own ass and run without a bloated gut bouncing up and down lol.
