Anyone know where I can find some sample routines that Arnie did when he was a pro body builder? Ive just watched Pumping Iron and Total Rebuild and they were awsome!

Arnold's Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding.

But keep in mind that he lifted from an early age, did steroids and was very advanced.

Pick a routine from FT and stick with it, you will see results. get your diet in order and you will see your muscles.

I did Arnold's beginners 6 week program from his encyclopedia. I enjoyed it. It worked for me.

Yea I was thinking of buying the encyclopedia. It looks like a good read at the very least.

I didnt realise he used that many steroids.

Arnodl and Franco were the 'pioneers' of steroid use. Back then it was common for doctors to prescribe them pretty freely.

he trained so hard and so often that without steroids it is immpossible for your body to recover. If someone worked out like him without extra help, they would probably end up losing muscle from overtraining.
