Re. Ronnie vs Arnold. Arnold any day. Even off season, Arnold et al were lean compared to today. Ronnie in that picture just looks like a fat fucker.

I agree with you 100%. Arnold's era was the best--slim waists, big arms, v-taper, lean legs, big calves.

It's just the way it goes. We can suck at some exercises yet thrive on others. Find and stick to what your good at.

Calorie reduction + increased activity = fat loss. Your choice of the two. Running or walking is purely preference.

The push pull and legs system is an efficient way to train. The routine you posted looks ok. You may not need to do all those sets. 1 or 2 warmups then a working set will be enough per exercise. Just make sure you give yourself enough time to recover between workouts. Get the most out of a...

Subsituted BBsquats recently for d'bell squats. Started off holding a pair of 50s, taking the cadence nice and slow without pausing at the top. The pump was torturous ;). Anyway, since I train at home without a power rack (used to clean the bar onto the shoulders), I can now train to true...

I can't see anything majorly wrong there. Maybe a little slower descending on the squat, but this is just a quibble.

I follow a variation of the Mike's consolodation routine: squat or deadlift, barbell or dumbell row, dip or military press. I will throw in a pre-superset sometimes - and a bit of bi/tri/calf work here and there. I do no more than five sets a week, taking ten minutes. * Hey, six years on since...

I'd take a few days off. The muscles have not had enough time to recover and grow. Cutting it short will result in over training in the near future.

If you are not progressing, i.e, weight and/or repititions for each lift, in each and every workout. Keep a diary, and follow your training closely. If there is no improvements, take a break, then cut your frequency down to allow full recovery before you train again.

Dorian utlized a variation of HIT for his own training (with success, as we know). Yes this is Mike Mentzer consolidation routine. The routine I follow was outlined by Mike in 98: A Squats Palms-up pulldown. B Deadlift. Dips. I throw in some arm and calf work sometimes, and train every 3-4...

Alternative measures. Squat. Pulldown. Dips. That is it: three work sets taken to muscular failure, taking no more than a few minutes to complete 2-3 x per week. I switched from volume type training to HIT last year with better results per workout time, with something similar to the above...
