ADVANCED TRAINING

Training area.  Keep in mind that you don't just jump from basic to advanced all at once.  You will slowly incorporate some of the techniques until you find the ones that suite you best.

Once you have a solid foundation you can begin using some advanced training principles.  The main ingredient for becoming an advanced hardcore bodybuilder is intensity.  This is when bodybuilding gets really fun!  

Advanced Training Concepts

High-set training is a relatively new concept.  Back in the day, guys would do only a few sets per body part on a specific day.  Nowadays this is more of a power lifter type workout.  High-set training is when you do about 15-20 sets per body part.  This could mean 75 sets per workout!

Doing a Double-split workout is a great way to make your workouts less demanding.  This type of workout takes a ton of dedication and will power, but if you want a championship body you need to sacrifice.  A Double-split is when you split your workout up into two separate times in the day.  This is the way most every "contender" trains.  A good Double-split workout is shown in the first advanced workout program. 

Advanced Training Program
Other advanced training programs can be made from this one.  Once you are an advanced bodybuilder you can make your own personal program to suite your needs.
