I like Toney Freeman's training philosophy
« on: February 09, 2014, 11:44:20 AM »
As we get older we get smarter. Same style of training I learned from Ron Love. His training philosophy I endorse 100% and recommend it to all aspiring bodybuilders.

the core of his "philosophy" is most likely to shoot up drugs regurlarly and the training part is probably not rocket science

High volume, lighter weights, a lot of pumping sets.  The philosophy is interesting, but it's hard to say if it was that type of training that gave him his current size.

It certainly works for bathroom shots. Just avoid visiting Sweden..

Crazy to watch him train and then watch Branch and JOJ. Tony does look good for his late 40's.

I train like that, apart from the one arm at a time stuff.
As an older guy its wise to lay off the heavy weights.

Well, one could say he is a product of the 90s. He couldn't get his pro card back then, and got his pro card in the 2000s when the quality thinned out. So, his training is reminiscent of an era gone by.

Dexter kind of train this way too

best way to train, maybe you won't get as strong or as thick, but at least you'll remain injury free (well at least less chances of injury)

I will train this way for a month (using unilateral movement and more than 15 reps). I want to incorporate this into my training.

I'm still relatively young at 25...so I like doing one balls out heavy exercise (bench, deads, squats), and then a plethora of these pump sets after that like Toney does. Seems a good balance.

Once you get injured, God forbid, you will have to train smarter. No benefit in going heavy.

My routine is pretty modest with only one heavy exercise; not like Branch who goes HAM for 35 sets. You really think you can't do the Big 3 lifts for sub-6 reps into your old age?

It's not HUGE numbers but I was benching over 300lbs regularly when I realized it was doing nothing for my pecs that benching 225lbs or less could.

I think that there's a strength and size correlation, but ridiculously heavy weights have no place in bodybuilding. Not if you care about longevity at least...

Ronnie Coleman's training routine is the best because Ronnie Coleman has the biggest muscles. It's just common sense.

Id imagine the one arm dumbbell press would feel awkward. Would probably take some getting used to.

For sure. I'll have to focus more. I noticed that when I am lazy and do not focus I tend to swing bigger weights as an excuse. And to impress others because it does not aid building more muscle.
