Mr ripped

Ok first of all on a late Friday night, Mr ripped Andreas munzer. Out of all the people on steeoids, this guy became one of the most ripped bodybuilders imaginable. You see the quality of the size,the maass, this guy doing what he love to do, get shredded as possible. He hormonized fella, but he do what natural has to try hard to do. Dat is respect for this guy.

And...

And one of the most annoying things about listening to the old school bodybuilders talk about training, is the always talked about "importance" of the squeeze at the top of the exercise. Like it was a magical thing to do that would propel the muscles to growth. Hey, newsflash, you're supposed to be doing the fucking squeeze on every exercise.

New views on bodyfat percentage?

So there seems to be this new thing going on where everyone now has realized there is no 100% accurate bodyfat measuring method. They used to say calipers were more accurate than biolelectrical impedance tests, and then hydrostatic weighing was the most accurate. Now they're saying none of them are completely accurate and then what we thought 10% bodyfat was 10 years is actually much higher. People on YouTube showing pictures of guys looking ripped and saying they are 10% or even 12-13%. Years ago we would have been arguing these people are 7-8%.
I even used to read articles where bodybuilding "gurus" were saying you should never get to over 10% during a "bulk." So everyone was supposed to be shredded at 6-8% tops before they started trying to put on size, lol. That's pretty unrealistic for someone who isn't taking steroids. And that's what these gurus were preaching to people who were almost new to lifting.
I think it makes sense to judge your leaness by the way you look and by how much fat you can basically pinch on certain areas of your body, but you also want to get a second opinion on it so you don't start imagining you are lean because you look at yourself all the time in the mirror. This is where you can test your bodyfat using some kind of testing method.

I don't know why.

I don't understand why most of the old school bodybuilding books and even Arnold's "Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding" don't really mention much or sometimes anything about the importance of increasing the weight you are using on an exercise over time to build muscle size. It seems pretty stupid considering how much a person can learn about working out correctly from a single video on YouTube these days. Most workout videos I watch usually clearly explain not only how to do the exercise correctly but also exactly what you need to do to make progress on the exercise and get results!
Honestly when I first started working out and had some basic knowledge on exercise I started reading these old bodybuilding encyclopedias because there was no YouTube. I found these books to actually confuse me more about how to train correctly as far as training frequency, rest time, and even the number of reps to do.
