This is of course a subjective subject. There isn’t technically a perfect male body with measurements as opinions differ. But an average opinion I reckon would result in an image such as below.
I do find it amusing how mainstream bodybuilders these days don’t resemble Eugen Sandow in the slightest.
They are way too oversized and require anabolic steroids to achieve that look. If you want that look I can’t help you. If you want a body similar to above then carry on reading.

These are two great tips from Mark Rippetoe’s Practical Programming for Strength Training
So using my template, lets use the bench press as an example. This features 3 times a week. As a beginner you may be using the sets across method, for example bench press 3×8 for 50k. When you can perform 3 full sets of 8 overload by adding weight in small increments to the bar. 2.5kg/5lbs is my recommendation.

You probably clicked over and thought I would tell you to stretch after your workout to avoid delayed onset muscle soreness right?
Wrong! I have tested stretching and not stretching after workouts and found no difference what so ever.
I am not just getting this info from my personal experience or others but a study which you can read about here.
It is a very long winded paper, so to sum up it concludes that the evidence derived from mainly laboratory studies of stretching indicate that muscle stretching does not reduce DOMS in young healthy adults.

Reverse pyramid training is my go to form of training when burning fat and retaining/building muscle and strength.
For those like me who haven’t maximised there strength gains and are new to movements like barbell squats and dead lifts this kind of training can perform wonders.
It is usually 3 sets per exercise where you perform your HEAVIEST set first.

Today I am going to outline a beginner weight training program. Over the years I have been perfecting my training. Consuming everything, accepting what works and tossing what doesn’t.
I am sure someone made a martial arts out of this. Oh wait, Bruce Lee did and Jeet Kun Do was born.
What I have learnt over the last few years is that the basics work. Where many of the fitness gurus were going wrong however was the suggestion of how much you should eat.
