Natty physiques from the '20s and '30s remember they

you think people hundreds of years ago did these complicated bro splits and calorie counting?

Fuck no they just did basic compound exercises and were active as fuck and ate a shit load of veggies and meat. Bodybuilding isn't rocket science but nerds try to make it to be.

And they were actually athletic. They need to bring back athleticism to bodybuilding.

If I remember correctly, natty lord Eugene's routine is a million rep brosplit with bitch weight.

>>36902242
larry scott arm routine is the only one anyone should do

Tips from the 1920s:


Nasal Breathing – Should be practiced all the time, especially when exercising
Bent Knees – Always keep the knees bent a little as this aids in blood flow
Alternate Sides – By working one side, then the other, the body has better blood circulation
Fresh Air – Whenever possible, exercise in fresh air (open windows, out-of-doors)
Put Your Mind Into It – Focus on the muscles being used and the desired outcome!

>>36900404
most people still didn't look like that, though their endurance was certainly much greater than the average person's today. Lack of nutritious food, especially in childhood, was an issue as well. Being swole as an adult starts with your diet as a child.

Not exactly 1920,s but this is literally george hack's routine:

>Sun: platz squat 2x5 , jerk 2x5, shrugs
> Mon: deadlift 2x5, overhead good mornings (yes you read that right) 2x5, ohp 2x5, hammer curls
> Tue: , floor press 2x5, sit-ups and leg raises
> wed: hack squat 2x5, pushups sets of 15 (dumbbell push press every other), floor flies
> thurs: power curls 2x5, pullovers 3x10, straight arm front raises 3x10

and his routine for athletes (he suggests you do bodyweight exercises and remain active on days off)

A:
>Muscle snatch 10 total reps
>jerks 10 total reps
>dumbell cleans 10 total reps (per side)
>barbell front raises 10 total reps

B:
>Cleans 10 total reps
>dumbell snatch 10 total reps (per side)
>OHP 10 total reps
>DB jerk 10 total reps (per side)

C:
>Side press 10 total reps
>lifting in bridge (floor press while doing a neck bridge) 10 total reps

do this with moderate-heavy weight, and go for a max evry 3-4 weeks in this fahsion:
2x3,2x2,2x1

for diet he recommends 3/4 vegetables (includes potatoes) and 1/4 meats, though he himself was a vegetarian and believes thats its the best way to go.

>>36906633

>>36906633
>tfw that guy is my relative

>>36906698
Oh, btw he only ate raw food and no meats.

>>36906704
yes, and he drank alot of milk too (11 pints a day)

>>36906719
Maybe thats where GOMAD is from?

>>36906859
maybe. i heard gomad was meantt o be a sarcastic thing made up by rip to tell skinny people "oh you cant gain weight? try drinking a gallon of milk a day"

>>36906633
Definitely looks better than me, but this seems like very litte volume.

>>36906633

He drank 11 pints of milk a day, how many vegeterian diets look like that.
