This document provides an overview and introduction to training as an intermediate bodybuilder. It discusses how the intermediate stage is an exciting time combining the freshness of starting out with experience and results. It notes most bodybuilders need 6 months of consistent training to be considered intermediate. Key signs include visible physique improvement, strength gains, and training becoming an integral part of one's lifestyle. The document recommends first changes for intermediates as subdividing full-body workouts into a 2-day split focusing on lower/upper or push/pull. It advises training each bodypart less frequently than as a beginner but in the gym more often, and increasing exercise variety periodically.
