Here is the thread NewAdventure referenced above:
Give it a read… Kingbeed is in pretty good shape, and there are a number of good posts.
Your goal requires time and effort, that is about all. A lean/cut muscle will always look better than pudge. So the “size” probably comes from better set shoulders, bigger arms, etc. The location of muscle and fat distributes differently which will give a different impression of size.
It is important to note that at 5’8" you will not be able to get back to 225 at a healthy bodyfat percentage, unless you choose to utilize AS - not a point of this conversation, just figured it was worth noting.
There are however some pretty impressive physiques around this forum at 5’8" that would stand for something to aspire to and are completely natural at a weight of around 205 off-season. Again, time and effort (and diet).
Good luck.
P.S. Yes, giving arms a separate day is often times something a bodybuilding/hypertrophy-focused program would do.[/quote]
Umm, I’m 5’8" and 200-205, and I certainly have a ways to go…please tell me you don’t think it’s impossible to get beyond my level at my height without drugs.
