Here is an interesting website featuring Matt Mendenhall. He was considered to be a 1990's bodybuilder trapped in the 1980's. I thought some of his routines were interesting. Notice how things change through time. Anyway, take a look and tell me what you think.

On the evening of December 8, 1984, Matt’s impossibly hectic life takes a sudden twist: on his way to pick up some material for a bodybuilding seminar which he was to give the next day in Canada, Matt hits another car which had just driven through a red light. Matt, who was not wearing a seat belt, is ejected through the windshield and lands in the middle of the street. He is rushed to the hospital and the doctors puzzle at the fact that he broke neither his neck nor his back, a phenomenon which they can only attribute to his outstanding muscular mass and physical development.

hahahaha! what a great story, I love that, another reason to lift

It is interesting to see the differences in training methods.

Back in the 1980's it was common for a bodybuilder to perform 6 exercises per muscle group at 25 to 30 total sets.

I don't think Matt Mendenhall was following the Dog Crap routine!
