Arnold Schwarzenegger's Blueprint To Mass Is NOT Good (Program Review)

[@bob_troll2400]

This program was built for seasoned bodybuilders. The blueprint works and you are wrong on this one in my opinion. All the rep ranges that you don't think works are meant to shock the muscles of people who already have intense workout routines. Based on your physique I would guess that you do CrossFit a couple times a month and maybe analyzing bodybuilding programs isn't one of your strengths

[@LiftingExplained]

You can't shock the muscles, that's a myth and not actually a thing. The way to make progress, even for those that are advanced, is a mix progressive overload, periodization, and a change in exercise use during various mesocycles. The overall volume in the program is too high and completely unnecessary, again even for advanced lifters. I have a masters in exercise science and have trained hundreds of people. My training is based around athletic performance, not physique or looking jacked, but my background provides me the experience and knowledge to see if a program is done well or not. If you disagree and like the program, by all means do it, it makes no difference to me.

This is gonna be good. Also you should really review alphas destiny naturally enhanced program. It’s pretty unique.

[@dennisschooler3154]

The encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding is supposedly what Arnold did exercise wise, and has not been disputed. The blue print workouts have been modified overtime by numerous people.

[@GVS]

Great review, the fact that Arnold allowed his name to be slapped on this is...pretty cringe.

[@mitchnerjosh]

Bro with all due respect, taking your advice seriously is laughable because you don’t even appear to lift at all. Do the work and build some muscle then give some training advice after having the experience.

[@FratBoyFitness]

This looks like it was wrote by a person who’s been to a gym and knows what exercises are but doesn’t know how to lift

[@Nocturnal808]

Not sure if you ever did but can you review Sean Nalewanyj Body Transformation Blueprint??

[@LiftingExplained]

Haven't seen it, but certainly can take a look!

[@porkchopproductions0314]

It's sad because watching the videos Arnold just talks about his favorite exercises and some principles. The program however is another story sadly. It's pretty confusing why Arnie would put his name on this

[@porkchopproductions0314]

@@LiftingExplained It's ironic too as his partnership with MusclePharm, the supplements recommended in the nutrition part, ended because they were lying and putting in too little protein on purpose and in general making a crap product. It looks like he's changed as Ladder's posts seem to be pretty legit

Appreciate yours review as always ^^ Is there any chance for home workout program review ? It seem to be gym lock down for a few months in my city.

[@LiftingExplained]

The one from renaissance periodization is a great choice if you have access to some dumbbells.

[@always_napping73]

Of all the training apps you have reviewed. Are any of them good for beginners or should I stick with a template like baby Groot or bar bell medicine?

[@dreitill]

Jeff Nippard's fundamentals hypertrophy program is a great program for beginners and has been reviewed here with great score. I did Upper/Lower version of the program because I wanted at least 4 day of training and it was awesome. Got great results over the 2 months of the program. You can do it multiple times of course, no need to do it only once :)

[@LiftingExplained]

If you're looking for an app specifically, then either Hypertrophy Coach or Eugene Teo are great choices. For specific programs, like Stefan mentioned, Jeff Nippard's Fundamentals of Hypertrophy is also great.

[@keithjohb2198]

For two months if your diet and supplementation are up to par, then it would be fine to do. Don’t do it for longer that prescribed.

[@LiftingExplained]

I wouldn't do this program at all, it simply isn't designed well, and no diet or supplementation overcomes that.

[@AlexCWill]

In that yoy case you should review the programs from his encyclopedia

[@drakedatu7248]

What program will be the best for me, im 30+% body fat and already lifting for a couple of months and knows the fundamentals. Planning to buy JN hypertrophy and after i get to 15% I will transfer to Renaissance Physique template. What do will you recommend for me?

[@BonFathead]

Do you run these programs at all btw , sorry if this is a silly question

[@luxurybuzz3681]

[@anujatatkar8653]

You have no idea brother don't blame me. Olympia focus on new things

[@arissp4950]

i have done it in the past and followed it to the letter. I trimmed down the fat and gained good muscle. Its hardcore though, I wanted to puke many times in the beginning especially in the bb row/ db row superset. from 120kg fat I went 107kg with good muscle and slim waist. The only thing I dont like is the flys below 8 reps. you can modify it keep the flys aroun 12, 10, 8, 8 and the db pullover heavier. Other than that its a solid program and not for the faint of heart. if you take steroids its gonna be easier. For the 30 reps bench press its only with the bar, he said it that he did that for warming up in the exercise instead of stretching etc

[@JHurd1379]

Thank you for this.

[@harlanjewell6326]

I think it’s great too. Increased my bench max by 40 pounds through the first two phases.

[@poloboy]

OP on DYEL mode having the gall to criticize something he clearly doesn't seem to understand or unwilling to even test IRL

[@LiftingExplained]

I've said it multiple times on the channel, I train for athletic performance, not size or physique, so my programming and the way I look will be different. I do have the background though to make these reviews and do try them out. I have a masters in exercise science and have trained hundreds of people, both athletes and general population. I know or have met countless strength coaches in the private, collegiate and pro level (including the NFL) and none of them would ever program this way and would all say the same that I did. So please tell me specifically what it is I don't understand. I don't criticize in my reviews either, and to say I have the gall to make this review is ridiculous.

[@zathenjosephzelenak3791]

Do one of Arnold Schwarzenegger blueprint to cut. That's the program I'm doing but I don't think it's necessary

[@akasingh7953]

You said we should do lat pull down instead of pull up that's wrong there is much more lat activation in pull ups , it can't be compared to pull down. Else everything was fantastic!

@@LiftingExplained I have seen the ace search paper on ACE website for back workout that showed pull ups are best exercises for lat activation .

[@LiftingExplained]

If you found it works for you then that's great. Everyone responds differently to certain programs. It's important to understand the flaws in certain programs though and that not everything will work for everyone.

[@bob_troll2400]

The stripping method offers very little rest, that's why the two reps work in this case. Because you follow it up with more and more reps. The entire program is based around 'shocking' the muscles, which any bodybuilder will tell you are the best workouts.

[@50poundagram]

He wouldn't know mates he's just a skinny nerd on youtube

[@srv.stf_]

Thank you for finally posting this

[@boxerfencer]

I remember hearing that arnold was associated with the product line from which this program is a part, only he disassociated himself when promissed income didnt come through. Besides, how could he not be associated; he has a highly revisionist retelling of his training methodologies in an interview with the product line company on youtube meant to create buzz. Interestingly, my pointing out arnold's inflated creative recollection with testimony from his traning partners was met with denials from multiple trolls targetted at me, as well as deletion of many of my comments ... a real dirtbag of a company. Back on point, youd think he'd have a good reason to sue for using his image and insinuating his involvement had he not signed off, but afaik that's never happened.
