When i was young and had plenty of energy. Mon was upper body, Tues was off, Wed was arms and legs, Thurs was off and Fri was Mondays program. Sat and Sun off except for cardio and some light sets for week body parts.
And do not believe any magazine articles bs. It was 3 to 4 exercises a body part, 4 to 5 sets an exercise and 6 to 10 rep sets. With plenty of rest between sets. Frank pushed heavy weights..

Who writes these articles? ??? To be fair, bodybuilders change their routines throughout their lives.

They died at the age I am at right now but looked like 90 year old men the way they moved. If they would have dumped that training philosophy and did Pilates or something like that they would have been better off.

Smoking and drugs.
Mentzer was a meth head.

Did he use straight sets or did he pyramid up the weight each set? Thanks.

Start light on the first set of the first exercise and work up in weight. After that. He would push the weights for 6 to 8 reps. Push and push harder...
