still holding up
Yea its definitely a long time in the gym. My body is holding up pretty well and i'm on week 2. the only problem i've run into is my joints don't like me very much. My gains have been through the roof.

32 sets for chest a day, 3 days a week. thats 96 sets. Over 750 reps a week for just chest... i *may* hit 30 reps all week for chest and 2 working sets and im growing nicely... i dont think u could really make any progression in that routine and you'd have to go so light to finish.
is this really what arnold did? i understand he was juiced to the max, but this is terrible. i dont think i could even eat to compensate for how much energy it would take to complete much less make any gains. - 06-28-2009, 07:38 PM

hats insane youll defitenetly overtrain your body. And I dont even get the way he explains it? If he does all of those exercises 3 days a week thats torture to your muslces. Hence overtrained muslces. Not good, I have heard from my freind that are big lean iron heads that you should only work out your chest once a week. Maybe two. Now if your on cycle you have the ability to recover fast so you could hit the chest hard in the gym.

its not even about hitting the chest three times a week, u can do it if ur volume is low as hell and if ur not going balls to the wall intensity. there are a lot of full body routines that hit the chest three days a week... albeit with one excercise and like one or two sets tops.

ph cycle otherwise i don't think my body would be able to handle the workout. I pretty much don't stop eating in a day

The start of week 3 was awesome
Bench moved up to 285 that was a pretty sick jump
incline went up to 255
flys are at 105 my gym doesn't have any bigger dumbells - 06-30-2009, 02:38 AM
Well also considering the average gym rat probably spends about 1 hr to 1.5 hrs in the gym working out. Ive heard Arnold spent like 3 hours in the gym.
- 07-02-2009, 08:02 PM
yea if you do everything it is a long workout my breaks are no more then 30 sec and it takes me atleast 2 to do the entire workout

Half of this would make me collapse. Wtf. You would need to blow down or something just to handle the intensity.

I have been doing this routine for 2 weeks now but I never have the time to finish doing all the sets as my GF is not going to stay at the gym for more then 1 hour and 10mins. So I have been lifting the routine but not 100% like Arnold's. 1st week was not as bad b/c I was already doing a mixed 4 day a week workout and the 2nd week has gotten easier. Keep it up Robby!

Damn son! Do you really weigh 270lbs? The biggest I ever bulked up was to 242 but then I cut to 220 and now down to 200-205lbs.. I cant wait till winter as I will start another bulk which is fun b/c I eat.... a lot!
