Bodybuilders who Trained Smart
« on: June 28, 2022, 02:28:09 PM »
Who are the bodybuilders who you think trained the smartest in terms of minimizing the risk of injury?


Dexter had one of the longest careers and trained smart. 

In this video he explains why he doesn't have injuries.

1:10 to 4:15 is the main part of the interview.

Arnold did not have training injuries as far as I know.

I don't recall hearing of injuries in the 70s.

I used to believe in killing myself in the gym, not anymore, you actually make BETTER gains not training to failure and making sure you never overtrain

I’m no IFBB judge, but in my estimation he looks better than Ronnie.
