TrainHeroic’s Favorite Online Bodybuilding & Physique Programs

Pack on Muscle, Drop Fat, Get in Competition Shape…or just look great naked

You’ve had that vague dream in the back of your mind of competing in fitness, figure, physique or bodybuilding, but never a plan of action to make it on stage. You train hard, eat well, and suffer through cardio once in a while, but there’s something missing from your routine.

Or maybe you’re not sure you actually want to step on a stage mostly naked under a bright spotlight to have judges squint at your every bulge… but you want to at least look like you could hold your own up there.

You know you need a little extra help growing your legs. You know you’ve got some veins waiting to pop as soon as you’re shredded enough. You know that with the right coaching, you could smash through your potential.

The best bodybuilding programs on the internet

Jacked Street

Coach John Welbourn (@johnwelbourn) of PowerAthleteHQ is a former NFL athlete with some no-nonsense methods for bodybuilding. His “holistic approach to traditional bodybuilding” pairs compound movements for building strength—because you can’t be jacked without being strong—with strategic accessory work for hypertrophy. You won’t find any Olympic weightlifting programmed here, but there’s room to work it in if that’s your style. 

“Jacked Street has been packing slabs of meat on Residents since 2015.” We can vouch.

Ogus Daily

NPC Champion and physique coach, Matt Ogus (@mattogus), is striated and thicc in all the right places. He preaches consistency in tracking your lifts, eating enough protein, and optimizing your sleep. He even cleverly equates nutrition to finances in this post and we love him for that. The guy knows what he’s doing and it shows in his medals. Do what he does and you might just get what he’s got.  

Ladies! Matt also offers a womens’ physique program: Vixen. Let his own dump truck serve as testament to his ability to build yours.

Ripped & Ready

Dave Spitz, founder of California Strength (@cal_strength), is known for churning out Olympic champions, national weightlifting team title-holders, and USAW record-breakers. His space is strength and technical performance, which gives him a heck of a background for building muscle. Olympic weightlifting and bodybuilding function under the same fitness umbrella. If you want to look amazing naked, but don’t want to give up your snatches or clean and jerks, now you can do both.

Plus, any coach who can maximize your gains with a “minimum effective dose of boring conditioning” gets an A+ from us.
