I made massive gains on Arnold's Blueprint to Cut. Tried his Blueprint to mass afterwards but the volume was simply too high. Been sort of puzzling around trying to figure out what exercises work for me and my body composition and strengths/weaknesses. Had some trouble fitting in all the right exercises to hit every muscle group within 3 days.
I'm trying to mainly strengthen the entire back and shouders. Plus chest of course and legs for stability. Might not need to do arms, but it would be sad if the arms start lagging.
The weights aren't definitive yet. Just estimations until I go try this routine and write down what I can lift.
Also I want to incrementally increase Bench/Squat/Deadlift by about 5 kg each every week. Maybe 2,5kg each workout.
