Crazy workouts

Geoffke · Aug 7, 2002

In the past i have always trained each bodypart (except legs) 2 times a week.

Arnold Schwarzenegger said it was a must. I have read somewhere that kevin Levrone always trains each bodypart 2 times a week, he trains arms 3 times a week.

Arnie said that: the difference between a champion an a not-champion is that the champion can train true the pain.

It made me thinking. It was a great stimulance for me. And in the gym i rememberd it. I have always trained very strict and in proper form. But for example biceps: i do 10 reps with the barbell. My biceps are tired on the 10 rep, but now i just scream and to everything to make that extra 2 reps. And i make it everytime.

I'm doing this now in each workout. I train like a crazy animal.

But.... The second workout of a bodypart, well,... The muscles still hurt, so i can't train them again in the same week.
So now i train each bodypart only once a week.

Maybe i'm now in the right direction to become a real freak. I didn't beleave Big a, that the big man just do each bodypart once a week. But i think it' s right way.
I have adjusted my diet and nutrition also.

I know now that the workouts that are written in bodybuildingmagazines are complete crap! They just want to make money.

I hit eat bodypart directly once in 9 days, and again indirectly 4-5 days after. For example 5 days after chest day I'll do close-grip benching for my tris. Another example is my using deadlifts on back day, 5 days after the regular leg workout.

As far as "Arnie" is concerned, he teaches many good principles, but his training recommendations are way off, for the average person. Double sessions 6 days a week is just too much. Oh, and don't scream too loud while doing curls, or you risk getting your ass whupped by people like me. Feel free to scream during squats though.
