When programming the first question you should ask is, what are my lifts?

If its below 140/100/200, keep doing full body work.

You do realise this is the bodybuilding section?
Those quoted numbers are really beginning to get ho hum.
 
Weight increases is but only one way of tracking progression, there are other ways as you know bazza that are just as affective and important.
How much weight is on the bar should never be your only indicator.

Darkoz didn't say that you didn't need to be strong in order to be big; he said that it isn't the only indicator.

I agree that achieving a big (500+) total will help to provide you with the foundation to build a fantastic physique, but as Darkoz said, in BB, the weight lifted isn't the ONLY indicator. A guy who can only lift a 300 total will be pretty tiny (all other things equal) but a guy who can lift 500+ won't necessarily look like Johnnie O.
 
No connection. They are strong in their pursuit of bodybuilding.

Those numbers won't win them a BB comp.

you won't get bigger if there's no stimulus for it.

Looking at the training of drug taking elite bodybuilders who program based on weaknesses probably isn't the best way of training for a novice lifter...

Yeah it is one way but you can only do so much other stuff and eventually as much as the BBs seem scared of it you are actually going to have to put some more weight on the bar.

If the BBs truly believe weight lifted doesn't matter. Why even use weight. If what they are saying is right they should be able to built muscle on air curls and air tricep kick backs. See how that goes.

Bazza has a bloody good point

Every bodybuilder who says weight doesn't matter is talking shit. To build your body you must subject it to increasing loads so it will grow, adapt and get stronger.

But there is a point where bodybuilding has less need for increased weight, when those who BB reach their desired physical goals than it is just a matter of maintaining what they have already built. So increasing weight would not be needed, but rather a style of training that allows them to maintain.
 
+1 for the big and basic crew...In the past I fucked around aimlessly and never got anywhere, found out what squats and deadlifts were thanks to this site, and made the best gains I've ever made.
But whatever works for YOU is right
