Workout Description


The 1970s was a dynamic era in bodybuilding. Physiques grew in size but also in personality. Many notable legends etched their legacies upon the world of bodybuilding during this decade:


  • Arnold Schwarzenegger

  • Sergio Oliva

  • Frank Zane

  • Franco Columbu

  • Lour Ferrigno

  • Mike Mentzer

It was during this era that training began to aggressively evolve away from full body workouts. Many lifters, including Arnold and Sergio, took the fullbody workout and morphed it into a high volume protocol.


It was not uncommon for these Herculean beasts to train 6 days per week as follows:


  • Monday – Chest and Back

  • Tuesday – Shoulders and Arms

  • Wednesday – Legs

  • Thursday – Chest and Back

  • Friday – Shoulders and Arms

  • Saturday – Legs

  • Sunday – Rest

1970s Bodybuilding Routine


The following workout is based upon the structure listed above. Make no bones about it: this is a brutal, taxing training style. It certainly is not for everyone.


If you analyze flowing a document similar this I strongly advise championship it with copiousness of interruption and substance. If at any example you experience shopworn mastered, train a ended hebdomad departed from the gym.


Understand that this is my variation of a 1970s workout. It’s what I would do if I were training using this template.


Note on the Landmine Press. The landmine press is performed with one end of a barbell secured in a corner, perhaps under the middle of a heavy dumbbell. The lifter presses the other end overhead with one arm.
