Thats a pretty small routine (lol).

they used to be believe in high volume, high reps back in the day. They obviously didnt know the effects of overtraining.

i think the reason they did those high volume w.o.'s is b/c the higher volume, the greater the "pump". The effects of steroids (esp. dbol) gave them mind-blowing pumps and made them feel huge, even bigger when the use ^^^reps

flex, i have never used any steroids, i have always been natural (right now im 201 pounds and 11-12 bodyfat, i really like how i look like) i use protein eat good food multi vitamin and i'm not a begginer really, but i never used anything more than just that i was thinking about taking something just to see how it effects my body, what can i use to see some strenght and size results, what about dinabol ? i would to get huge pump's

Whats that got to do with this thread? I think you should PM Flex instead of posting here.

There is a Forum specifically for Steroids here http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=19

Lots of great info there

And what you did was hijack a thread.

What a laugh that routine is...

 

[CowPimp]

18 sets for biceps... Holy God... You better load up on the same roids as Arnold too if you want to try that routine. You're welcome to try it, but I know I would overtrain on such a routine and I'm young and keep my diet pretty well in check.

 

[Autarch]

I am pretty sure that my limbs would start falling off before I finished 1 day of that.

I don't think there are enough steroids, ephedra, energy drinks and gatorade in the world to allow me to survive THAT kind of torture.

I think the best part of looking at Arnold's routines in his books is the "beginner" routine. I actually attempted that beginner routine at one point. I think I lasted until day two until I said "Eff this".

lol

one day i hope to do that routine for a week and see what happens, Chest/Back, Shoulders/Arms, Legs/Abs? Repeat, ain't it?

and that is the beginner routine! stage 2 is Chest/Back/Legs/Abs, Shoulders/Arms Repeat, Repeat?

crazy stuff, i wonder how many newbies have read his book and actually followed them routines? i doubt they lasted long bodybuilding, lol

there's a few things you guys gotta realize about his routines....

1. they thought the better the pump, the more muscle you grow (because you look enormous). to get better pumps, you use high volume/high reps

2. they were on so much juice to get these pumps and recover quicker.

3. they didnt know about overtraining.

4. this is what their daily shedule looked like:
8am take steroids and eat breakfast
9-12 train
12-1 lunch
1-5 rest on beach and eat all day
5-8 train
8-9 food and steroids
9- bang women

a guy at my gym used to work out during the Golden era of BB on Venice Beach. He was Robby Robinson's "oil guy", so basically he lived their lifestyle for like a whole year. he said they trained like fuckin animals and had a new girl every night. that musta been great.
