boyer coe abs

Before listing Boyer's training routine for the 1980 Mr. Olympia, I would like to give you his feelings on diet. Boyer is a heavy eater, having between four and five large meals a day. Boyer believes in using additional protein in the form of a good protein supplement with each meal. He also takes a good vitamin and mineral food supplement and wheat germ oil with every meal. His meals consist of meats of all kinds, (beef being his favorite), eggs, cheese, and cottage cheese. To balance out this high-protein meal, Boyer eats fresh fruit and vegetables. He avoids all high carbohydrates, such as bread, cakes, candy, ice cream, and gravies. He uses milk in large quantities during the year, but avoids it completely the last 4 to 6 weeks before a contest.

The following is the exact training routine Boyer used two months before the 1980 Mr. Olympia.

The workout was divided into three separate workouts. Monday and Thursday we worked chest, shoulders, triceps; Tuesday and Friday, thighs, back, and biceps; Wednesday and Saturday, trapezius and lower back. The abdominal section and calves were worked every day. We did about fifteen minutes of many different abdominal exercises, such as sit.ups, leg raises, and all sorts of twisting exercises. For the calves, we did 15 sets of 15 repetitions of toe raises.

The rest of our program, then, looks like this:

This pic circa 1970 or so... Boyer was unparalleled in having such plain raw genetics coupled with a classic physique... Who has these clean lines today? No one... He was an amazing bodybuilder...

[kimo]

[Immortal_Technique]

Boyer is a bodybuilding icon. I see him every once in a while, lives about a mile or so from me and trains at my old gym. Great person to talk too.

Abs were not a strong point, but ...

5'8" and 210 pounds. What's most amazing about that era of bodybuilding is that every single bodybuilder had a unique physique and each had standout bodyparts, while still being the complete package.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Decent walking around physique

he had an amazing 1st timer's response to steroids
still had his real hair back then too but not for long

[oldgolds]

He had some heart surgeries too, didn't he..

[Thin Lizzy]

The lack of abs was completely genetic. I'm sure he trained them as hard, if not harder, than did other bbers of that era. Everyone gets short changed genetically, in some area. I always wanted to have that Steve Reeves perfectly straight lower pec line but regardless of how much I focused on training my outer pecs, genetics wouldn't let me have it. Such is life.

no shit though the guy benched something ridiculous like 400 while he was still a teen.. somebody can verify that.. he was one strong MFer (not by GB standards, I understand)

.. He was in the top 2 % in the genetics department..

Abs are like calfs. All genetic sure you can train a weak body part but if you don't got it you don't got it. I never trained abs and in contest shape mine are like bricks

if true its discouraging . in a few contests coe abs did show . in 1980 they showed contrary to popular belief
