First of all, hello :)
I have been reading DB for some time now and found really good information for all the doubts I had so far. But now I have a question for which I am finding difficult to find answers for.
This will be a big post :\
My big big question is:
What would be the difference in terms of training program for these two goals I will post down further.
Is it the weight, reps, sets, nutrition, isolation or compound, all of those, none of those...
I am going to post two examples. One if my goal for a body, the other is not because I simply cannot devote the time necessary for it.
First Example: Goal
Please note i understand that genetics, nutrition,bodytype etc play a major role on the way your body looks.
Here we have Marcus Schenkenberg, who stands 6'3 and weights 188lb. His workout consists of:
Monday: chest, bis, tris, abs.
Tuesday: legs, abs.
Wednesday: shoulders, back, forearms, abs
Thursday: rest.
Friday: chest, bis, tris, abs.
Saturday: legs, abs.
Sunday: shoulders, back, forearms, abs.
And he looks like this
(those abs suck)
See, my question is how does a person who train that much, ends up not looking like bodybuilder Ernie Taylor for example
I am very sorry for the big post, but this is an honest doubt.
I do not have the time to train to look like a bodybuilder, but I do have time to train a body like Marcus' (although much shorter)
So from what I can presume:
1 Marcus is much lighter
2 He probably does much lighter weights
So, to sum up my big post, what would be a good way to train for my goal. I am part Ecto part Meso, with around 6.5-7% bodyfat, only 5'7 and around 125lb (yeah, very light lol).
I have been training mainly compound for now, with squats, bench press, shoulder press, deadlifts, abs, chin ups, dips etc
Thank you all for your patience
Note: I understand there is no magic method
