This program is an extension of bodybuilding basics 1 and is catered to intermediate-advanced trainees. The initial program was a 4-day program focused on establishing a routine, creating a baseline of strength, and introducing the lifter to body-building-style lifting. Body Building Basics 2.0 incorporates prescribed weights based on Rep Maxes, a higher volume of training exercises that target isolated areas within specific muscle groups, and an alternation of low-intensity CARDIO and high-intensity abs to ENHANCE your GAINS.
I'm not providing you the secrets to "my own personal routine" or the juice-filled meatsticks you see on social media (Sample size of 1). Instead, this program was designed by extensively researching the most up-to-date scientific literature on achieving muscular hypertrophy (Sample size of 1,000's), and observing the preferences of my clients (real people) over the last decade of training.
If they told you 3x15 bench and bicep 21's was supposed to fill the sleeves, run. Run far away and get yourself Bodybuilding Basics 2.0
