The Golden Era of bodybuilding created some of the most iconic physiques in history.
No fancy technology. No fitness influencers. No endless exercise variations.
Just hard training, huge volume, and a relentless pursuit of physical excellence.
This week on The MindSets Podcast, Angus and Charles explore the principles behind old school bodybuilding and ask whether modern fitness has actually moved us further away from building great physiques.
We break down the training methods, workout splits, equipment, exercises and mindset that defined the Golden Era—and whether those methods still work today.
