Golden era bodybuilding workout

Arnold Schwarzenegger to Frank Zane every legend loved training and those were the golden days of bodybuilding. I absolutely love to train hard and heavy duty style. Training should be intense and rewarding. I believe it's how hard you train and not how long you train. Its been a while since I posted videos or wrote articles. I just have been very busy with life, like we all sometimes do. But then again you get back to doing what you really love to do. For me its training and writing sharing experience and learning. As far as i can remember i started blogging or YouTube videos out of passion to share and document. This week has been productive and sharing a little shoulder workout session. I juggle between training at home and gym. here is my quick workout
barbell clean and press barbell shoulder press weight plate halos enjoy the video and chat to you soon people.

Mike Mentzer style of Training - EP 7

Welcome to the episode 7 of Mike mentzer style of training. Mike mentzer is an huge inspiration in terms of not only a great bodybuilder but a great mind who went against the grains and came up with his own system of training. I feel his method of training is very good for general public and bodybuilders and athletes. yes, there may be few points which i disagree, but overall he was correct. likewise I like Arthur Jones too. Arthur jones was the one who came with this style of training. He said training should be brief and intense and not long like marathon. There has always been debate whether this form of training can yield great results, well the answer is yes. but again there needs to be little bit of twicking.In terms of bodybuilding many have trained this way, like mike mentzer, Casey victor, Dorian Yates and many more. For past week it's been raining heavily and can't even go out without getting drenched. so i started working out from home whenever I can't make it to gym. Home workout using Mike Mentzer. ARNOLD PRESS 3 SETS OF 20 REPS LAST SET BEING TO FAILURE BICEPS CURLS 4 SETS OF 3 REPS LAST SET BEING TO FAILURE TRICEPS DUMBBELL KICK BACKS 4 SETS OF 3 REPS LAST SET BEING TO FAILURE When the moments are slow you feel Tremendous amount of pump. The key to growth is control over Weights.

Mike Mentzer style of Training - EP 6

The transformation is going good and one thing i would like to point out is whe. I start to lift weights i tend to put on muscle quick. Ofcourse, you do gain fat with that as well. There is no way you can just gain muscle and not fat. This episode on my YouTube channel i share and talk about best training methods, what's worked for me interms of training, rep range and sets.
 
If you are not aware high intensity Workout or heavy Duty Workout style was started by aurther jones, followed by Casey viator and then by Mike mentzer and he add his own observation and recommendation to it. He made it popular. Train Less and make gain more muscle and cutting down the frequency of workouts.

Body Transformation Leg and Conditioning workout

Build muscle, cut fat and stay jacked. Well, that's what I intended to do. Most of the times we ignore the conditioning of our cardio and body and just focus on one form of training or exercise routine or diet plan.We need variety and fluidity in our approach, sure, use what's worked well for you but always be up for change.
If you follow me be it on YouTube, where I have ton of fitness and bodybuilding videos or Instagram where i share my diet and travel and food and body transformation pictures. You will know I like to train smart and time efficient. This week I did leg day and cardio, jumping rope for good 45 minutes. I did functional fitness and dumbell thrusters. mixing traditional bodybuilding workouts with functional fitness is great and can yield great results. Diet has been pretty clean and cut down on sugar and junk food. My transformation is going good so far and will keep you friends updated.

Fitness and Farm Gym

Two things always brings a smile on my face Fitness and Farm. Both of these are very viral for humans. We need good food, organic food grown and served and physical activity to keep us fit and healthy. 

Farm and gym provides you that, I  love the idea of a farm gym. If you happen to set up a gym at home it's home gym. But having a gym at farm is different experience. How is it different you may ask, the biggest difference is farm gym is always a open gym and it's great to train in an open gym compared to a commercial gym.

Now coming to training routine, i like training intense and progressively over loading muscle. Be it a rep or a set a increase in these factors to increases the chances of gains.

I trained deadlifts for back and dumbbell curls for biceps. I trained shoulders using dumbbell shoulder presses. I did 2 sets of 10 Reps on each exercise.

This is my first workout and vlog on a day in Life. Please subscribe to my youtube channel.

Heavy Dumbbell Cleans

Heavy Dumbbell cleans or heavy Dumbbell snatch are excellent of you are trying to build quality muscle with amazing strength. I always use these exercises to build not only raw strength but raw power. Typical cleans are done on barbell or a kettlebell. But for beginners and people who have no experience handling weight on barbell or heavy kettlebell are great choice. What about experienced lifters you may say. Well, it helps with fixing muscle imbalances. That's great way to take care of one's asthetics.

The dumbbell clean can be performed with one hand at a time depending on your choice and comfort. Please watch the video for demonstration.

What is a 6 Day split workout?

A 6 day split workout is a routine where you train you entire body by splitting them into 6 days with combination of different muscle groups. You can train chest and triceps back and biceps and so forth. Taking only one day of rest. I believe it's very less productive and taxing on body of natural lifters and recovery is the key to muscle building. Here is a what I do to get great gains and it works well for me based on my recovery. I train my entire body two times a week. So only 2 days of workout.

Can you get ripped at 50?

Yes, one get ripped at 50 but needs lot of dedication and deligency. Right from workout routine to diet plan. So many people who have trained naturally all throughout life have maintained fair bit of muscle. Getting jacked as you age requires more knowledge and dedication than in your 20s and 30s. I believe one should train high intensity and low volume and low frequency in order to gain muscle and maintain good joint health.
