I might get back to working out once my semester end, it's been a long time since I have.

For my upper body, I had two exercises for triceps, shoulders, biceps and for the back, and three for the pecs. Could I start back already with the same plan or should I start with a less specialized training?

He perfected that sport. Did everything right, as well as having great genetics. It does sound pretty homo, lol, but I too can stare at Ahnuuld's body (in it's prime) for longer periods of time

He's just the fucking master of bodybuilding, end of discussion. Anyone who is interested in bodybuilding should worship Arnold in his prime, because there's no topping it imo.

Do you guys have any other favourites?

What makes him different from other muscly dudes?

What makes him different from other muscly dudes?

In my opinion: proportion and, for a lack of a better term: the x factor.

Take this picture, for instance:

Guy on the left has bigger quads, fair enough, but it doesn't really look good or proportionate on him. If you notice their chests, Arnold clearly has a better chest. Chest and back has always counted for a lot in bodybuilding, as well as lats, but overall aesthetics and proportion / symmetry is decisive. I'm in no way a qualified judge, though, most of this is just my opinion.

Frankly, I'm not sure what it is with Arnold, but his body always had that "x factor". When you compare him to Lou Ferrigno in the movie "Pumping Iron", there's not a lot of difference in physiques, but still, Arnold beat all of those people time and time and time again. There's something about his body that makes it more difficult to take your eyes off it than any other bodybuilder, past or present, at least in my opinion. It's an x factor present, I can't explain what it is, and I'm not sure the judges back then could either.

I agree with Jem completely here. The Pumping Iron documentary really shows that he was in a class of his own when it came to working out, nutrition and personality.

Plus he was the fucking Terminator and detective John Kimble

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Ah, okay. His legs look like the most impressive thing in that pic imo.

 

[ALC]

He really is epic, you gotta watch 'Pumping Iron' if you haven't already seen it

Nah, I have to check it out.

What makes him different from other muscly dudes?

Because his body's perfect. It's what a God would look like.

 

[Jem83]

Yep, they're ...well, perfect, like his entire body was in his prime. Also goes to show that there's more to that sport than just getting the biggest muscles

 

[ALC]

They look good. Also look carefully at his biceps and chest and lats. Such a perfect triangle.

 

[Jem83]

Has no idea what he's doing:

 

[ALC]

lol, i'd laugh and point if i saw him in public.

 

[Enron]

my week goes like this

Monday; Triceps & Chest (small bit of cardio and core work)
Tuesday; Biceps/Shoulders/Back (small bit of cardio and core work)
Wednesday; Legs (more intense cardio and core session)
Friday; Triceps & Chest (small bit of cardio and core work)
Saturday; Biceps/Shoulders/Back (small bit of cardio and core work)

If I'm not too tired (or hungover) I'll repeat Wednesday's workout on the Sunday.

Works well for me but then I guess everyone is different?

I work a single body part each day, but I don't take any break days. Do you recommend that?

@Klin

I am by no means an expert mate, but I guess it depends on what you're trying to get out of it all. Do you just want to tone, or bulk up? It probably doesn't make all that much of a difference, except maybe the rate at which you'll notice a difference to each muscle group.

I find that working two different muscle groups in a session works well for me because as I'm doing one set for lets say biceps, in order to allow them to recover a little energy I'll do a shoulder exercise in between and vice versa.

I see. And how many different workouts do you do per body part? I usually do around 4/5 workouts.

 

[Fint]

Usually 6, maybe 7 if I'm not worn out

No. You need at least one day to leave open for recovery, but I prefer two even on hard trainings. Muscles gotta recover.

For about 7 weeks now I've gone to the gym every day except for once. I know I should rest more but the problem is that I've gotten into a special zone and I honestly don't want to lose it.

Thanks guys.

And what zone is that, Suns?

Does anyone know? Sorry to be repetitive.
