I guess the big difference I was trying to convey is back then, they couldn't just steroid their way to the top as it was much more scarce back then. They had to learnt o do all the small things and the cream of the crop of responders to low doses rose to the top.

Now...nothing to see a pro taking 10-12x's what those guys where. Nothing to see a normal gym bro taking triple what those guys are.

So, bottom line, most regular joes who are taking nothing more than creatine and whey protein have no business doing these high volume 6 on/1 off programs in the book, even if proper rest and nutrition are accounted for. Would you agree?

Unless they want to get so beat up they have to deload every other week, absolutely. Now you could do the program and dial back on the volume/number of sets/overall tonnage starting at the lower end of the volume and modulate until you reach your personal maximum recoverable volume, similar to how RP does it

But no most regular Joe's would be much better off running an lp program like greyskull then moving to a 4-5 day PPL or 531 or RPT or Rest pause program or if they are really into bodybuilding a John Meadows program.
