Mass/Bulking

Throwing out example routines is easy enough, and this is a “standard” BB routine baseline. You may want to start with something like this and see how you respond… or maybe not, who knows. You might respond to higher frequency, you may respond to higher volume, and it may differ between bodyparts too. There is no way for anyone to tell over the internet without working with you directly for a while. If you want to do well and are inexperienced right now, I suggest you hire a coach. Especially if you’re on a deadline and want to do a contest.
