How Do Pro Bodybuilder’s Workouts Differ From The Average Man’s Workout?

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Old School” workout differs greatly than an average man’s workout in that not only does it require more time but is much higher in volume.

The reason for this amount of working out is that their life is centered around lifting, eating and sleeping. Nothing else. They do not have to go to work like the average person in the business world.
The average fit person will not need the same intensity or volume as a pro, who has been training hardcore for 10-plus years. Professional workouts tend to be extremely high in volume because they have built a tolerance over the years to training.
Also, their workouts are highly specialized. For example, in Arnold’s case, he worked his calves in extreme-volume to bring them up to proportion with the rest of his body.

Average fit people do not need to do highly specialized or high volume training simply due to the fact they have so much genetic potential to grow left. Pros train in such high volume because they are at their genetic potential and supplement with steroids to break past their genetic potential. This is why I have formulated my own routine based off his own. One thing that is not in Arnold’s workout is traps.

Calories And Macronutrients Are What Matter The Most In A Nutrition Plan

Whether you want to build muscle, get ripped or maintain your weight, nutrition will play a big role during this process! Your nutrition is what fuels and build your body with food, which is measured in calories.
You caloric consumption will determine what kind of body you will obtain:
Build Muscle: If you want to build muscle, your body will need more energy than usual in order to make you get bigger. You will have to eat more calories than you burn, often called: caloric surplus. If you increase your calories too quickly, your body will store fat. So it’s very important to do it progressively, so you can track your progress and avoid storing fat.
Maintain Weight: It’s simply when you burn as many calories as you consume, often called: calorie maintenance. Knowing your maintenance caloric intake is the starting point. From there, you can determine how to eat in order to build muscle or get ripped. Use this calorie calculator!
Get Ripped: If you want to get ripped, you will have to burn more calories than you consume, often called: caloric deficit. It’s when your body uses fat stores for energy, which leads to weight loss. Be aware, the body can also use muscle tissue; which isbad for you. This is why you must lose fat progressively, if you’re doing it too quickly you will kill your health.

Explanations Of Macronutrients Ratio

Macronutrients are nutrients that our body needs in large amount: Carbohydrate, Protein and Fat. It’s important to define the right macronutrient ratio according to your fitness goal; whether you want to build muscle or get ripped.
In short words, this ratio will depend on:

• Your Body Type: Some people tend to gain more weight than other. They should consume less carbohydrates and fats than the ones having a hard time toning up.
• Your Fitness Goal: If you want to get ripped, you won’t have the same macronutrient ratio that someone who wants to build muscle.
• Your Gender: Men have the genetics to build muscle faster than women.

Macronutrients Ratio According To Your Fitness Goals

During this men’s nutrition plan we will define a general macronutrient ratio for each fitness goal: building muscle, getting ripped and maintaining weight. Like said earlier, we all have different body types, so it will be your job to slightly change this ratio if your body doesn’t respond to it.

The macronutrient ratios are:
Build Muscle: Carbohydrate 40% – Protein 40% – Fat 20%
Maintain Weight: Carbohydrate 35% – Protein 35% – Fat 30%
Get Ripped: Carbohydrate 30% – Protein 40% – Fat 30%

Converting Percentage To Grams
It’s very easy to calcule how many grams you should have for each macronutrient.
First you need to know how many calories contain each macronutrient :

• Carbohydrate: 4 Calories per gram
• Protein: 4 Calories per gram
• Fats: 9 Calories per gram

Then, let’s take 2500 calories as an example and our macronutrient ratio for maintaining weight:

• 35% Carbohydrate -> 2500 x 0.35 / 4 = 218.7g
• 35% Protein -> 2500 x 0.35 / 4 = 218.7g
• 30% Fat -> 2500 x 0.3 / 9 = 83.3g
