Again, I hate starting threads on here or not being the one learning.
But I’ve gotten a ton of PM’s and request for me to start a thread on training and my experience from members.
At this point, I’m sure everyone is sick of reading my post (I know I am). So I am creating this thread a bit differently and it will either be a huge hit and take off or be an epic fail, which if that happens- mods please feel free to delete. No harm no foul.
Instead of leading with “what is my opinion and experience on training”, I’m instead calling on all the OG (as the thread title implies) to come here and share:
1. How did you start training and what age? Stats then.
2. What was your training routine at your peak and your stats?
3. What would you differently, if anything?
4. How do you train now, and why that method.
Summary- I’m calling on all vets only to share what training routine made you the biggest mother fucker in bodybuilding, why did you do it, and what would you change?
Im not going to tag or call anyone out by name as you know who you are if you fall into this category. If you have to “ask the question”- is this me? Then I ask that you please don’t post and sit back, grab a protein shake and fucking learn.
Why am I doing it this way?
Because I have degrees on the subject, have 3 training certs from ISSA, CE credits from NASM on the subject, as well have attended seminars from top Olympic strength coaches, trained under and with multiple IFBB pro’s, been guided by legends such as Lee Haney, then went on to dedicate a full season and prep to FST-7, another to John Meadow’s programs Gamma Bomb and Creeping Death. If that’s not enough was coached by Milos, Vu, and now AJ is my guy until my pro card.
I could continue on my list of credentials, history, and experience as since I was 15 I’ve been obsessed with the art of training as I am to be the hardest working mother fucker in the gym. I’ve always known I don’t have the genetic gift that many bodybuilders do. The opposite, so I maximize every other angle I possibly can and make sure that I know when I step on stage that win or lose- nobody fucking outworked me.
I’ve had most coaches tell me I need to “recover more”, sleep in, or watch over training and I fully agree… I likely do, but this is what we do. There is no off switch. I compete because I love train, I don’t train because I love competing- I honestly hate that day and process/trophies. It’s me vs. me even if I never get a pro card.
So while I could tell you all the textbook crap on training and how this muscle group is X fiber type which means it should theoretically be trained Y way. Guess what? It doesn’t work that way in all cases. I sit down with and see NASM guys constantly asking for input because they see what I’m “doing” contradicts every text book.
End of rant- Vets and top guys post away please. And yes, if the thread takes off and there’s enough demand I’ll outline my training history and the other items I noted above. But most of the real life shit that works came from this forum and the vets here.
Post up your OG routines guys- no right or wrong way for the vets or a bad post.
