Wow. That's the kind of determination that put's many top athletes to shame, you should be proud of yourself. With this mindset & the right advice, you WILL get the physique you wanted all those years ago.

My advice would be to stick to the basics, train 3-4 times a week max & hit each bodypart once a week. Try as many different methods as you like (HIT is my preferred method overall) till you find what works for you. Remember that bodybuilding is about the aesthetic, so try not to get too sucked into the whole ''how much can you bench'' thing & this way you'll avoid unnecessary injuries that will hinder progress. Pop your training split up & some info on your diet if you want a little guidance.

split would b
day 1 squats if leg feels ok, leg press for saftey if not( put in extensions + curls on light days pre exhaust)
day 2 shoulders seat smith press or seated DB (lateral raises pre exhaust light days)
day 3 off
day 4 Back dead lifts + Lat pul downs
day 5 off
day 6 chest bar or DB inclines + DB flys
All usually 3 x 8-10 after warm up every mnth I do 1 rep max
Before I do a cycle I go as heavy as I can 2 wks befor so as to assess my limits
dont need any more injurys.
I do play with this routine but they are my basics
Dont train Abs, I use a technique called blocking cause I dont wear a belt
Arms are done Bis with chest Tri with back, just feel I get a wammey on my arms eg( BIS already used when I train back)
let me know what u think guys

ARNIE

inspiring mate

Nine Pack is offering some advice mate - if I was you I would bite his hand off!!

Well done mate your determination is awesome!! it put's things into perspective! Keep going

Nine Pack

That's a sensibly structured split, allowing adequate recuperation time, but I'd suggest a one on, one off protocol right through wherever possible. Don't worry too much about over training arms, you are not in any danger of that. So long as you stick to two basic movements on them when you do chest & back you will be fine. I'd suggest 2-3 warm up sets then one to failure at 6-10 reps (lower end for small muscle groups, higher end for larger ones).

Your diet is where the real changes will stem from so what's that like?
