Ask Alfonso: Why Training Like A Bodybuilder Is Bad For You!




Angry Trainer Fitness show

Summary: Time for a little controversy here at Angry Trainer Fitness I think! John in Colorado contacted me to ask for some advice on his training routine. He’s been training like a traditional bodybuilder for years now – sticking to the tried and tested body part splits. You know the drill - chest and triceps, back and biceps and legs and shoulders. John’s been pushing some serious weight but now his gains have plateau-ed and he wants to know how to shake up his routine. Great question, John – but you may not like my answer! I trained like a bodybuilder for years and competed in some amateur events in my time. But all the weights I lifted took their toll on my body and I’ve come to realize that while bodybuilding training has some merit, taken as a whole it has some serious limitations. Check out the video I shot to answer your question and let me know what you think! Good luck Alfonso
