@nathie I don't know how many times I have to say this, but it's getting comical at this point.
If you want to get big, as fast as you can, bro splits are the way to do it. Hit each muscle once per week with a shit ton of volume. It's what OP and many others have done.
Or, keep following your little "studies" and staying small.
@calijohn007 No worries dude it's okay if you think that. I just recently started doing lifts that's why. If you read my main comment then you will know why.
@calijohn007 Asian genetics brah our upper body compound lifts numbers aren't like those in europe or america where yall can easily bench 225 like nothing as college athletes. I mean there are exceptions of course such as legit powerlifters but for the most part, nope. Not sure if it has to do with our smaller frames or just an overall shitty training technique.
@conductornano Alright mate good to know, it may be a bit of a false ceiling you’ve put yourself under, I know of some very strong Asian guys but to be fair they are from east Asia, Korea, Japan ect
@conductornano East and Southeast Asians are some of the strongest people on the planet pound for pound. See Olympic weightlifting competitions. Also not an excuse!
And yes, although physical fitness has been a part of many ancient cultures, bodybuilding and weightlifting were most widespread in India.
@just4paulok Sorry but ye read my other comment to get a better understanding of my view. And yeah I guess I was somewhat unaware that Asians are dominating the olympic lifts.
@just4paulok Yes they did, in Ancient Greece physiques where a by product but a great physique was held in high regard. “Bodybuilding by the ancient Greeks served as the origin and inspiration for its practice by most later societies. Modern competitions grew largely out of European strongman theatrical and circus acts of the late 19th century” can u share you sources ?
Keep in mind bodybuilding isn’t the same as general fitness, weightlifting, or other athletic modalities. Bodybuilding is specifically about aesthetics. And even if you did count other fitness modalities, the Greeks were rough contemporaries with the Indians AFAIK, who trained with weighted clubs for war.
@calijohn007 Maybe I phrased it incorrectly. Not really putting Asians under the bus but I'm saying like in terms of the people I see in the gym and like the circle and group of friends who I gym with. Reaching 225 is like a super big deal. Like I have seen only a handful of people reaching 2 plates and only like 2 of them can bench that weight easily. Also to note that maybe I over-generalise through social media and like the NFL 225 challenge I made the assumption that 100kg is not that big of deal to yall. For those exercises at least.
