r u a strength athlete?

Old school could go from Poliquin's Principles to Westside Barbell or just plain old HIT. Most old school stuff for size could be what bodybuilders have known for years too (basic and compound movements for pure mass and then muscle specific training for definition). For old school stuff, it varies, but everything still comes down to goals and getting there through what we have all done or are doing presently from low reps, moderate reps, high reps, low sets, high sets, short or long rest breaks, etc....... and that doesn't even include diet.

I just ran across Mike Mahler's "Rest-Pause" approach which is patterned off of old school strength training:

Old School usually means heavy, compound movements...

At least that is the first thing that comes into my mind.

i honestly think that u need to do perdiodisation.
switch your routine every 3 weeks and shock your body with a new routine.... your body will adapt on every routine after few weeks no matter is it old school or new one

Old school?

C-ditty was right about compound moves. I want to add alittle to it.
Old school comes from a time before high tech machines and supplements. Comes from a time when steroids were starting to take hold.
Old school lifters really knew how to lift, or more importantly knew how to get big and strong.
Try some of these websites and books.

www.brookskubik.com he wrote Dinosaur training, the best old school book out there.

also do a word search of old York barbbell routines..they will pack mass on yu like nobodies business.

If you dont feel like looking things up..cool..think of this.

In the gym you shouldnt touch a machine. Go to the cage and do everything there. Go heavy go hard and go home. Work only with barbbells and dumbbells.

Power cleans
push press's
squats
deads
rows

thats all you need.

Anyone do dumbell pushup rows? ok the first time I heard someone talk about these they had to show me but i'll explain the best i can....

using 2 dumbells of moderate weight get in the normal pushup position do a pushup then push down with one arm and pull up with the other then do another row with the other arm and repeat for a set of 12
