@@iscream2232 I’ve started to get over the fear of a little more fat. I completely understand. It’s not debilitating but man is it scary to me. Sure, vain some… but it feels like “no one is gonna believe I workout if I’m just big and not cut.” But it’s only for a season. It’s actually harder mentally for me than “having to lift the weights” is.

This is what I learned in school and took with me on my career in Health and Nutrition. Ironically this happens to be just pure common sense. Can't tell you how many bodybuilders I tried to educate on this but was rejected most of the time. Didn't take long to realize that most people don't care about health at all but rather aesthetics. Guys walking around the gym with grilled chicken in their pockets due to fear of losing muscle while breathing. Constant eating will age you dramatically because your system is constantly processing food and never gets to rest.

The ideal program is amazing

The thing about the 1980 Mr. Olympia contest is that it was held during a time where bodybuilding was aiming to be very mainstream. Contracts were being made in the industry, bodybuilders were going to television and Arnold Schwarzenegger was the face of the sport, to the eye of the average american citizen, at least. Not only was Arnold the star who had been the winner 6 times in a row, he was also the upcoming hollywood star that wanted to make it big in the screen. That being said, at the time, Arnold was considered a mediocre actor, with his first critics being very harsh on him, so his muscles, his physique was his main product to sell him as good choice for starring in a movie. So you take that, and you have the sport's biggest name making a comeback during a time he wanted to get big in hollywood: how would it look for Arnold if he lost the 1980 Olympia? Why would anyone in hollywood cast him, a mediocre actor, with a strongh accent whose main thing were his muscles and those muscles didn't even win the Mr. Olympia contest? It would be a disaster for Arnold's career. Then, you add that to the fact that Arnold and Weider were fierce advocates for high volume training and supplements. That made them very good money, and at the time, with very little information around, people believed it. However, there was one specific individual that defied that. One man that went on the opposite direction and said that you actually needed much less training than Arnold and Weider advocated. Not only that, you didn't need the much talked about supplements the industry was selling. That man was Mike Mentzer, the first bodybuilder to ever earn a perfect score. A 5'8 man that held over 100kg of lean mass on stage, a weight that was only matched by prime Schwarzenegger, a man 6 inches taller. Mike Mentzer said Arnold Schwarzenegger and Weider were wrong and he proved it with his very own physique. Who could argue with that? So then you see, the 1980 Mr Olympia was rigged from the beginning. Not only that, the rigging began in 1979, when Zane, a 5'9 bodybuilder beat Mentzer, who was an inch shorter and 45 pounds heavier. You don't hear much about 1979 because it wasn't as outrageous as 1980, but Mike Mentzer should have won in 1979. They made him second because the guy that dared to challenge the norm in the IFBB could never be awarded. That would be the same as admitting they were wrong. And Weider and Schwarzenegger would never do that. But the people caught on and called them out on that. How could the perfect score, heaviest bodybuilder on stage be second? So, in 1980, they put Mike Mentzer at 4th place, tied with Boyer Coe, so that when people would point out Mentzer should have won, there would be 3 men between him and Schwarzenegger. Mike Mentzer is the true 1980 Mr. Olympia and 1979 Mr. Olympia.

Because he goes against the whole industry. Training once every 4 days would ruin gyms and most personal trainers (not in sports, thats a different story, im talking about personal trainers which feed you random shit they heard). A lot of info about bodybuilding i thought right was apparently wrong, and ill try his methods. I must say, doing the same old approach has left me with little to no progress over the last 3 years, and back when i was making progress going to the gym almost every day, I was completely exhausted all the time.

OMG this is so true

For anyone that may be on the fence and not sure to try this style of training, or anyone that says this style of training is BS, here is a great analogy to help you understand. It truly is biology of how every living organism on the planet works. If you try it, don’t yield results, you need to adjust, either you aren’t pushing yourself hard enough (which is usually what happens, and where a good gym partner comes into play) or you aren’t resting enough. Compare your body to a plant or a tree, I’m sure most of us have grown one of the two. If you haven’t, do your research through the fall and winter, and start a garden in the spring. It truly relates to the human body in a lot of ways. In this case I will use a tomato plant as reference . A tomato plant will struggle to produce large, bright red (depending on the type of tomato plant) tomatoes, if the plant is not continually trimmed of new growths which pull nutrients away from the tomatoes, if the plant has been damaged or broken in anyway, if you have a rotten tomato, or you don’t pick the tomatoes once they are ripe (it will stunt the growth of the tomatoes being produced behind it. Once the plant repairs it self, you remove some of the extra growth, or remove the rotten or ripened tomatoes, it will start producing the large tomatoes again shortly there after. Now put that into perspective of the human body which is vastly more complex. If a body part is still sore or not completely recovered, you are pulling the proteins, aminos, and nutrients from that muscle. That would keep the muscle from recovering to 100% of what it potentially could. Now on top of that, if you tear a muscle, or tendon, once the pain, soreness, and tenderness is gone, you don’t go back to working out that same day correct? No, you give it a few weeks, make sure it’s good and healed, because even though you aren’t feeling it anymore, doesn’t mean that injury isn’t still repairing itself. So with that being said, when it comes to hypertrophy, if you work out another part of the body, while that last group of muscles you worked out are still sore, you are pulling some nutrients from that muscle group and now splitting it to heal two muscle groups, now add on the third and fourth day of working out in a row. Best thing is do not work out another group of muscles, until the first set is completely repaired and no longer sore, then give it an extra 24hrs. That next 24 hours the body is building the muscle up to better handle the next stress that is thrown at it, that is where the true growth comes from. Like most things in life, you have to repair the broken/damaged things before you can build upon it. You can’t take a failing company, continue to throw money at it and expect to get a return, the only way to do it is repair the issues that caused that company to fail, it is never money, there is always someone or something causing the failure, once you weed that issue out, replace that person, or fix the issue, then you can put some money in, and start to build upon that to get your return. If you think that the healing and growing process is complete when the soreness goes away, that is a very ignorant way of thinking. The body is very complex.
