I did Bb1 like 3 times then bb2 once and now back on bb1
infeel I get better results with bb1
why would that be? Or maybe I just should have eaten more with bb2 since volume is a little more?
also, should we do deadlifts if goal is bodybuilding and aesthetic back, or deadlift is not needed for that? I don’t see it listed in bb1 and bb2
AC,
I think we discussed BB2 vs BB1 before here. I am happy to hear you’re getting good results with any program, and if you feel BB1 is better for you, that’s cool. I don’t think the energy requirements are higher in BB2 than BB1 either, as discussed in a previous thread asking the same question.
I think it would be difficult to compare the results of a program ran through once (and 10-12 weeks) vs. one run 3-times (30+ weeks). That said, I think either would work fine for you.
A deadlift from the floor is not explicitly needed for any purpose outside of barbell sports. However, I think pretty much all trainees should do some sort of hinge movement pattern that can be loaded relatively heavy. The deadlift is listed in both templates as an option for the hinge movement pattern.
