Let’s Train Like It’s 2005

2005 was the first year I ever picked up a barbell. I was that teenager flipping through Flex and Muscular Development magazines, trying every “bro split” I could find.

Then, I began scouring bodybuilding forums and tried those programs as well.

It turns out that those old-school routines were onto something—a lot of them still work really well today.

In my new article, I break down why training like it’s 2005 might be exactly what your physique needs:
✅ Proven splits and programs that stand the test of time
✅ How modern programs sometimes overcomplicate progress
✅ A practical way to mix old-school volume with today’s science

If you’ve ever missed the simplicity (and results) of that era — this one’s for you.
