Paul, i think there is a place for slightly more volume at times, for instance Jordan had me do a 50rep drop set on leg press on leg days and drop sets on back days. Looking back pretry much all the goldenera guys lifted heavy but some like Arnold would train for long periods of time, Franco said he never responded to that type of training so Arnold would have multiple training partners to keep up. Ed Corney was one of his main training partners. Tom Platz also said he would see more results with a 4 day split over 6. Theres almost too much information out there today, i think the basics are being lost at points. instead of focusing on training like an animal people are more concerned with what drugs to take and how many supplements they can shove down their necks, and how many do you see anywhere near the shape of Arnold, Serge, franco etc. All they new was how to train hard and eat well whilst using very small amounts of gear. Robby Robinson recently put up a post about deca. When he started using it he would do a shot a week and many worried about the toxic effects of it lol. Now you have guys nowhere near his shape taking grams of this grams of that,.igf, insulin, GH etc. Obviously genetics plays the biggest role in this sport, i think some need to be realistic with their goals and not risk an early grave. I believe in following your dreams but from what I’ve seen in 16 yrs of bodybuilding more drugs to a certain extent doesn’t equal more results. The most anabolic thing you can do is train like your life depends on it and eat a good wholefood diet.

Hey @drdeanstmart, you think it’s high enough for that? i looked at my last blood results after 4 months off and they where within range so potentially they would go back the longer im off. I know American bbs give blood to reduce there’s, we’re not allowed in the UK unless off for 5 months i believe. Yes you are correct recently been fighting a cold.

Hey Sam, in terms of posing it definately changes throughout a prep. As you get leaner certain poses will look better when your conditioned whilst others may have faded. I practice alot throughout prep but offseason wise just hit a few shots here and there.

Hey Corinne,

can’t believe a pro is on my forum ????. That was genuinely a one off, added some of my old exercises to some of Jordans, the 50 rep drop was from Jordan, love it lol. im trying to lift heavy still and my working sets are still at 2. However, my strength and recovery have decreased ????.

Most modern classics take as much as open guys now but don’t have the ability to grow as big, many will use insulin and gh as standard along with large amounts of other compounds which is why they don’t look like the golden era guys, more small modern bodybuilders, with the exception of Wesly Visor who for me is the perfect representative for the class. It should be for different unique physiques rather than just a class for smaller bbuliders but thats just my opinion. They will never release specific criteria for the class as they want as many competitors as possible in the class. I’ve seen over 30 competitors in one height class on multiple occasions, 30 x £150 over 4 classes plus crossover fees as many do mens physique too keeps promoters happy and sanction fees paid so you can’t blaim them.

Hey Paul,
I train using JPs progressive overload programme. I’ve always trained heavy as i love it. 2 working sets anywhere from 6 to 10 reps depending how much i push the weight. I got upto 260kg deads for reps during my last prep and have squated 300kg years ago. The goldenera era guys would train heavy and hard, i think the only difference is the steroid use, they didn’t have so much knowledge then, nutrition was kept simple and meals small, that plus all the core work, most specifically vacuums meant they didn’t bloat out. insulin use wasn’t around and gh was minimal.
