I enjoy full body routines, but I find I can't recover from any more than twice weekly workouts.

 I think there under estimated not the best for out right muscle gain but very good for a combination of strength and muscle. People forget arnold built all most of his muscle training 3 times. Frank zane trained fullbody a few months each your batista on wwe trains that way a lot also. I think in theory you could build a pro bodybuilder that way. The draw back is your forced to use a lot of compound movments and that can bang you up once your using heavy weights. If you was training to look good and be able to kick peoples ass's fullbody training would be great for that.

   arnold gained pretty much all his muscle mass on regparks workout. The workouts may not be good for modern bodybuilding but they are good the best imo for athletes and general strength fitness. I am really suprised we havent seen any up and coming bodybuilders using such training. I have no doubts it could be done for some at least in the off season when you get down to it dc training is full body training.

I am starting to take test prop tomorrow and will stay on the same routine. How "hard you hit the gym" is grossly overrated IMO.

Many say a whole body routine is a beginner work out. The reality is that it's way harder than using a split routine. If you train the whole body for 90 minutes it's really exhausting. Having said that I made some of the quickest gains in my 30 plus years of lifting. The reason I don't use it all the time because it's really to hard to do year round.

Here's the routine I used. Took about 90 minutes using max weight to failure.

Power cleans 3 x 3 then 1x1
squats 2 x 8
lunges 1 x 8
leg curls 2 x10
dumbbell flat bench 2 x 6
chins 2 x max
low cable rows 2 x12
military press 2 x 6
dumbbell laterals 2 x10
barbell curls 2 x 10
weighted dips 2 x 10
leg raises 2 x max
ab pulley crunches 2x max
calf raise 2 x 15
neck work

I always found 3 X per week a real bitch to do unless I split it up.

Tons of guys made/make great gains doing it though.

The men on this internet site are positive that Reg Park took steroids, because they read someone else on the internet was pretty sure about it. Notice that these guys who are adamant that the oldtimers were on drugs are pretty angry and don't have good bodies.

Try cutting down the volume. Look up Arnold's Golden Six workout. This workout will build you up fast. Remember to do full range of motion. The guys today don't do full reps, that is one of the reason they don't have good bodies.

Is there something wrong with reg park taking steroids?
Does it make him less of a man?

During our off season conditioning program for football we lifted 3 times a week. M w f it would always include some for of bench (flat, incline, incline db) squat (front, regular, sometimes one legged) always did pullups back extensions and a bunch of other shit. The rep schemes changed and weight. We all got strong and big doing this. All core lifts. Great way to build a base.
