How did Arnold and Lou train?

[slobberknocker]

Does anybody know what kinds of training routines Arnold, Lou, and other 70's bodybuilders did?

I think that they pushed it a lot harder and overtrained to a degree. Arnold was known to do squats until he puked. They trained like mad animals without a high quantity of drugs in their systems compared to todays bodybuilders. They did a lot more reps for each lift. The good ole days.

Arnold was way overtrained! Chest/back/legs in one day 3 times a week!WTF.......In pumping Iron he was only squatting 315lbs, and those arm shots were definate dbol pumps. I think he took massive amounts of dbol and this is why he was able to overtrain. Just my opinion..............galaxy

Arnold and Lou trained way too much but their genetics and gear allowed for this....although it was a waste.
They both trained 6 days per week15-20 sets per body part and each muscle group was hit twice per week.

Mentzer and Viator trained with FAR LESS volume but harder.

Arnold didn't squat till he puked...in fact he didn't train harder than many of you bro's, he just had good genetics and steroids. How can you train really hard and do 20 sets/bodypart!

You want hard.....Mike Mentzer and Casey Viator trained HARD as did Tom Platz.

without a doubt mike, tom and casey train hard (i would never disagree with u on that), i do however disagree arnold did not train very hard...and specially less than most of the poeple in this board (no offense to anybody in this board), but remember back then there was no gh, and to develop a physique like arnold, juice and good genetics didn't just cut it

From the impression I get reading about Arnold and looking at pics, he looks like he gained most of his mass before he even came to the US. Once he got here it didnt look to me like he gained much more mass, just got more defined and had more muscle quality.
