then you need to go above and beyond what others are doing and I strongly believe that periodisation is something that is overlooked. You need to have specific goals you work towards at different phases, i. e. how you train to put on more muscle is surely different to how you would train to optimise muscle separation / definition? Well, the old-school folks seemed to think so and I think that it is worth looking into.
TRAINING VOLUME
Back in the day it was common for the best of the best to be training each body part twice a week, but today everyone is so scared of overtraining that I think they are losing out on potential muscle gain. People are so scared that they will be doing too much, when, in fact, they are perhaps doing too little. Who knows? You wont until you try. I was often told by Chris that guys used to do 35-40 sets per body part, sometimes in an hour! Try that and see what it does to you. Don’ t be scared to overtrain, give it a try and see how well you fair. Make sure your nutrition is on point otherwise you very well may end up“ overtrained” or what I like to call underfed.
LESS CARDIO AND MORE WEIGHT TRAINING
If you think about it, what builds more muscle? What should you be doing more of, if building more muscle is what you want? We see people spending hours on the treadmill in their quest to get lean. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’ t. Back in the day it was not a priority to get cardio done like it is now. Then again, the standard now is a lot leaner so do you really need all that cardio? I think there is a middle ground, not too much and not too little so that you can optimise your body composition without having to feel terrible.
PERFECTION
These days everyone is so worried about the“ perfect” diet / training plan / supplement plan- just get started and sort the details out later. I believe that people get too caught up in the details with wanting to get the perfect plan. In reality there is no perfect plan, it is the changes you make to that plan along the way that make it perfect for you. This is where having an experienced coach / trainer can be very helpful and also where the people who have no business in coaching others can hurt your progress the most.
CONCLUSION
