Jake Doleschal

Hypertrophy Past and Present was born of the realisation that bodybuilders of the past trained in ways that made far more physiological sense than the anabolics-influenced bodybuilding programs of the last 50 years.

This group takes iconic hypertrophy programs from the silver-era and pre-steroid era of bodybuilding and updates them with a modern understanding of muscle physiology and biomechanics.

-This is for those of you who want a historical, pre-steroid inspired program that is updated to be as effective as possible

-This is for those of you who have access to a silver-era inspired gym, garage gym, or minimal equipment

-This is for those of you who want to train with steel and iron, using old-school lfits, free weights, and time-tested methods

This is Hypertrophy Past & Present.

FAQs

Do I have to start at the beginning of a new phase?

No! You can join us whenever. As our phases build upon each other, even if you start in the final week of a phase it will set you up for success in the first week of next phase!

How often does the training change?

Most phases will run for 8 weeks. We aim to balance the phase length with a duration that allows us to make maximal progress without training getting stale.

Where can I learn more about pre-steroid bodybuilding?

I'm glad you asked! Chris Beardsley and myself (Jake) host a weekly podcast where we discuss silver-era training and modern muscle physiology. Check out "Hypertrophy Past and Present' on your preferred podcast platform to learn more!
