Develop that wasp-waisted, broad-shouldered look that old school bodybuilders like Steve Reeves and Reg Park had by training the way they did!
New school training yields new school results- protruding bellies, fat butts, and ugly pecs with no detail- all of that stuff is a direct result of the inferior training methods that bodybuilders started using when they started using drugs instead of hardcore, balls-to-the-walls training to build their bodies.
Quit banging your head against the wall using the same old methods you have been using and start using the weird, brutal methods of the old school to build a body that is as strong as it is aesthetic!

Bodyweight Circuit (A)
The goal is 10 Rounds of 8 exercises done for 30 seconds each, with a 1 minute break between rounds. 1) Hollow Roll to V Up* 2) Burpee Tuck Jump 3) Lateral Arm Swings 4) Burpee Pull-Up 5) Vertical Arm Swings 6) Hindu Squat / Bethak 7) Diamond Pushups** 8) Bird Dog That means you will do each of the 8 exercises for 30 seconds apiece before resting for 1 minute and starting another round. Use a Round Timer App to make things easy. 10 rounds can be done in 49 minutes, which means you can get a full workout an hour with warmup and cooldown. More rounds will yield more results, while less rounds will yield less impressive results. Record what you do so you can track its impact! * do not skip the Hollow Roll because it looks goofy- it helps with everything from shoulder mobility to getting rid of love handles ** if you can't do Diamond Pushups or are too tired to do them, hold yourself at the top of the Diamond pushup. Pro Tip: If you like the fight idea, it helps to pick a weight class you're training to "fight" in, and even an opponent. That way you can spend your time researching your opponent for the different things you need to work on in order to beat them rather than doom scrolling or pointlessly arguing about training methods (when you could just be doing sit-ups instead).
