**The Old School Bodybuilding program is a 12 week training cycle based on modern day science blended with old school power bodybuilding training protocols. ** You can expect to gain strength AND size on this program.

**On the agenda will be plenty of free weights and calisthenics, some good ol' 20 rep squats, 21s for the biceps and more old school bodybuilding training methods that will push your body to growth and challenge your toughness. **

**These workouts are a blend of Silver Era and Golden Era bodybuilding. This was a time when bodybuilders also competed in Powerlifting, Strongman and Weightlifting. They looked strong and truly were STRONG.

This style of training is what gave off the impression of being built like a BRICK SH-T HOUSE!
