"Todays Bodybuilders Look Like Freaks!" - Serge Nubret

Serge told PBW that todays bodybuilders look like "pregnant women freaks".  Also said that he does 50 sets per bodypart and does 2,000 situps at a time, IN ONE SET.  Eats 9 pounds of food per day.  800 grams of protein per day, and 5000 calories per day.  Still trains 3 hours a day at 70 years old.

Anyone believe that?

He's right. Today's bodybuilders DO look like they're pregnant. These looks are long gone...  :(

Yeah, he also runs 20 miles in the morning for a "warm up". ::)  Anyone who knows anything about buiding muscle, knows you're not growing when you're working out, but resting.  Doing 50 sets per bodypart would be simply foolish.  As fir 800 grams of protein...haha, That would be close to eating 7lbs of chicken per day...bhwhhaha, Oh man.  Magazines will print anything.
At one time, I ate 3lbs of chicken per day, plus shakes, and egg whites for breakfast.  I must have been close to 500 grams per day...no wonder why I was much stronger 4 years ago...haha  I guess 800 grams would be possible, but highly unlikely.

Yes...I believe that "todays bodybuilders look like 'pregnant women freaks.'"   ;D

I do believe Serge on the 50 sets per bodypart.  I find the 2000 situps in a single set suspect.  If it's true, Serge has more willpower than most.  I'd be bored out of my skull after the first 100.

I agree, many bodybuilders are loaded with so many drugs/fluids..etc they dont even look right.  Back when Arnold was competing bodybuilders were no more than 210-240lbs.. today they are anywhere from 270-300lbs.  All that weight is all in their guts and extra fluids.  I would rather look 230lbs like Arnold then look 280lbs with a gut and deformed body.

Speaking from experience, once you have built the muscle, doing a lot of cardio won't necessarily lose the muscle, i think it takes a lot to lose the muscle and Serge is probably eating enough to sustain it. I train for outrigging and the resistance of water is far greater than air (while running). + i can eat stupid amounts of food if i want to, i am a clean eater but with this training i can't keep it all clean. While only BBing it was easy.

Building the muscle i agree it will probably hurt it.

 WELL.. . not long ago serge posted (i believe on irnage.us) that all teh sets that he was supposed to do was b.s.  he said that he did 20 sets a muscle group and mainly stayed in the 6 sets of 12 -15 rep per exercise.. he said he ate onem ainm eal a day but, ate fruit  ect through out the day.. that main meal was just a couple pounds of meat and rice and beans..  he belittle drugs use but, was known to use good amounts himself..  nothing wrong with that.. so if serge did say those amounts, he was exaggerating..

Serge didn't do ANY aerobics to cut up as he hated them. As a bodybuilders he loves the weights and so trained for many hours this way to get and stay cut. He states on his thread that he is well aware he could have achieved the same results from far less sets, but then he would have had to do aerobic work which he hated. That's hardcore bodybuilding
He is getting ready to guest pose at 70 years old in October.

Not... and please don't believe anything he said in such interview (nice job by Bob btw),

He said he stopped training and eating 12 days before the show thats a lie!!!
why would you stay in Africa if you're not allowed to compete?
he did trained alot! he even said that most of his traning was filmed and then he refused to let it be used because he was too "proud to take $200.00.....

But he wasn't proud enough when told to go on stage at the last minute? knowing he hasn't been eating or trainning? and for free??

Please!!
He has the balls to say that Weider was affraid of him because he was so powefull and could take over th IFBB?
The guy had an EGO bigger than Arnold's and 35 years later he still the same cocky liar!!!

Serge Nubret doesn't mess around when he trains. He is the only person who goes up in reps as the weight gets heavier!

From my experience I would say that Serge was more right than Mike Mentzer re the requirements for hypertrophy. Many, many, many sets with a heavy weight for about 10 to 15 reps. The higher reps are so that a pump is obtained and cheating doesn't take over.

The guy is superman if he sustains that kind of training for hours. Where does he get the motivation and energy?

Serge had a big following in Europe in the old days. He could easily have been elected as IFBB president in an open election. Ben quickly discredited Serge and made himself life president.

The Olympia in 1975 was bizarre. They held it in a country that practiced apartheid! There is no way they could let a black man win that contest. Many felt that Serge was in better condition than Arnold. Surely 'Pumping Iron' was dishonest because the contest was between him and Arnold while Lou was not in the running.

Serge came to do a seminar at my gym but because there was an electricity strike not many were there. No worries, he said, and came back another day to do it. I mean, how many pros would do that? I have nothing but respect for Serge. He is a man among wimps as far as I am concerned.

Yet, both Robbie Robinson and Wilf Sylvester won their classes at the Universe held the same place at the same time.....

No one felt Sere was better than Arnold...NO ONE. It wasn't even close.....

It WAS between Serge and Arnold as LOu ended up placing 3rd behind Serge.....amazing given the fact that Lou was a golden boy of Weider, and a white guy, right Basile?

Can't get much of anything right, can you?

Post by: Vince B on April 03, 2008, 08:30:09 PM
Too bad you don't know enough about hypertrophy theory to question Serge properly. You didn't get much out of him at all.

You also have a hard time with comprehension because Serge mentioned more than once that he was tricked into believing he couldn't compete. So he got upset and couldn't eat or train. I wonder where those black guys were training, anyway?

To hold a contest in South Africa was bad judgement by the IFBB. Anyway, Arnold won in diminished condition so the movie was great and predictable. A pity about the oversight of Serge.

Serge was great to listen to. He won't endorse supplements because he doesn't use them. Not many like him around these days.

He agrees with me re modern professional bodybuilding but blames supplement companies who he feels influence the decisions because they are elected to run the sport. Not sure he is correct there but he has a point. He was right about all the federations being bullshit. Too bad Bob doesn't have opinions on this sort of thing because it would have been a much better interview. Get someone to interview those champs who doesn't have his head up the IFFB ass.

Get your facts straight buddy. Serge stayed in South Africa to work for TV, covering the Olympia. The idea being that he could at least get some money back from his prep. He still came 2nd in the Olympia when he was allowed to compete, so "for free"!!!!! Check the 1st thread re Serge on PBW for the pics that PROVE the shape he was in when he first landed in South Africa.
