Weight Training
Talusprain attributes much of his success to compound movements and isolation movements, which he focused on to increase his delt mass. He recommends plenty of free weights and cable exercises for lateral muscles in order to get the most out of his training sessions. His advice is to use lower weights with higher reps and a variation of exercises. Compound movements that focus on the entire body, like squats and deadlifts, remain a core part of his routine.
Diet
A meat-based diet and lots of calories (ranging from 3800 to 4500) play a crucial part in Talusprain’s consistent weight gain. However, he admits that he doesn’t consistently count his calories.
