Thread: Stallone Workout

Stallone never was that big, he was RIPPED! that comes from your diet as much as it does training. As far as the work-out I don't know why he would lie, that is probably what he does.

theres alot of guys that lift 3 days a week and do very well. stallone weighs about 175 i think i read a few years ago. Just like brad pitt was jacked in fight club when he weighed 155. I like stallone but dont see him as anything special, only one I have all the respect for is Arnold.

I would not even compare Brad Pitt's physique to Sylvestor Stallone, that is just down right insulting to Sly.

I was planning on doing cardio on Tuesday's and Thursday's to help with the fat burning.
I was watching Rocky 3 last night and i thought there is no way he got that body from lifting only 3 times a week, while im on the topic of Rocky does anyone out there know what sort of workout is needed to get a body like his in Rocky 3.

Damn he has a pretty big chest for only doing a couple sets of dumbbell presses and pushups twice a week.

Yea no wonder, that's what I thought. His program only incorporates a couple of sets of incline flyes, wide grip pushups, and a few exercises that utilize the chest as a synergist.

edit: 8 sets total per week for those 2 exercises.

so if i did 8 sets of flyes and push ups twice a week i would get better results?

I was throwing that out there because its a somewhat recent example. Stallone looked awesome in Rocky 4. Im sure his workout is totally different from what it was in the 80s.

so in ur opinion do u think that workout is worthwhile doing?

No, use the wealth of information on this site and design a routine for YOU.

Has anyone actually seen him of late though? I saw him on an episode of 'Las Vegas' (I believe) and the guy is freaking huge now. I'm not typically impressed by a physique, but I thought it was truly amazing at his age (he can't be all that young anymore, not that I know how old he really is).
