Olympia in I became very strong on this one. I wanted to get a good warm-up. Too much weight gave me a sore neck or upper back so I seldom went over pounds.

I usually started calf work with this one. Only rest you get is when you are sitting on your partner's back 4 sets of 20 to 25 reps to a burn each set. Donkey Calf raise is probably the best calf exercise. Since it's hard on the Achilles tendon. Best if your rider is heavier than you. Seated Calf Raise Seated calf raise is great for the soleus.

I always do this one last. I'd take the bar off the rack and lower it to just below my pecs at the top of my ribcage very slowly. But I was at the peak of my training career. You need to use heavier weights to stimulate. I would nor could never use weights this heavy today in my workouts. Ab work ended the leg day routine. I'd do doorway stretch between sets and my weights and reps were x My main exercise on day three program was barbell bench press with a shoulder width grip to put more emphasis on pecs.

I was very strong in those days. These were all done with slow negatives. If you are not very careful I was you may injure yourself. Next came 10 degree decline dumbbell fly for lower outer pecs: 40s for 12 reps. It's better to select lighter weights and do slower negatives so your muscles perceive the weights as feeling heavy.

After I finished bench presses. By now my pecs and front delts were really pumped and I'd keep doing doorway stretch between sets. This also allows you to maintain good form during each of your sets and get a pump exactly in the area required. I did 70 degree incline dumbbell press. I'd keep doing doorway stretch between sets and right after the stretch.

Don't think that by using weights as heavy or heavier than I did that you will get the growth you want. My triceps were so pumped up after this one that I worked them next. One arm dumbbell extension came right afterwards. I'd hold on to a support and lean slightly backwards. I used 30 pounds for 12 reps. This one really developed the rear head of my triceps. This exercise worked a lot of areas but was my main movement for developing serratus. I got quite strong on this one and often did 12 reps with a 90 pound dumbbell.

It also expanded my ribcage. Then it was dumbbell pullover lying across a bench. Hands were 12 inches apart with my elbows pointed outward to emphasize my outer triceps. With elbows close to my sides. I'd get behind a T bar or the leg roller on a leg curl machine and lean as far forward as I could. Bent over dumbbell lateral raise was my preferred exercise in those days. After triceps work I was ready to finish off deltoids. Then I'd let the bar return slowly back to my upper chest and then push it down hard.

I usually did 70 pounds for 12 reps. I'd lean slightly forward and press the bar down to a complete locked out position. I'd already worked front deltoids with the overhead dumbbell press. My final exercise for triceps was pressdown with close grip on a V bar on the lat machine.

Rear delt stretch followed each set. As I progressed in my ab work I'd add to this program 4 sets of 25 reps hanging knee ups super setted with 4 sets of 25 two arm cable crunch with 90 pounds. My last exercise for delts was side cable raise. After that I'd ride the stationary bike for 15 to 20 minutes or run a slow mile and a half.

Ab work was always at the end of my workout and my plan was to gradually increase the total amount of reps right up until contest time until I was doing reps total each workout.

I'd raise the handle across the front of my body until it was as high as my ear. Often I came back to the gym later in the afternoon to do this and it usually took me a half hour of non-stop ab exercises to complete it.

I'd do 30 pounds for 12 with each arm. Sometimes I'd do 3 sets of 12 reps with 30 pounds non-stop with each arm. The minimum program was leg raise. Holding a cable handle in front of my legs. I made slight variations in it. How I'd do it now. I needed lots of rest and noticed a tendency to become overtrained after about a month on this 4 day cycle.

But with this new cycle. If I were to do that again. Variations of the above routine will be found there as well. You'll get more rest between workouts.

It was hard and I got really sore from it. How I did it then. I used the Growth Routine routine in my training for the Mr. Olympia and something similar for the Mr. I'd go to the gym with a routine in mind but as I trained. Olympia competition too. If you refer to my book. I'd do a 5. I did a 4 day cycle. This is something I recently thought up and I like the idea of it because it forms a 3 week cycle and gives enough rest so you can grow.

Here's how it repeats itself every 3 weeks: Remember day 1 is back. In general. When I did 3 days on. Of course there are other ways to arrange your workouts in this three way split. Since you divide your body into three sections instead of two you can do more work for each section. So every 3 weeks you train each workout 4 times. Notice you always have Fridays off. And you can always have the same day off depending on when you start the cycle.

It's easier to tolerate only a small part of your body being sore from exercising instead of your entire body or entire upper body being wiped out.

Start it on Monday get Fridays off. Mondays off is a good idea if you train in a commercial gym because Mondays are always the most crowded days.

This is often best accomplished by focusing on a stimulus such as one's own breathing or repeating an affirmation to yourself. Meditation is the opposite of thinking.

This is necessary if you want to build your body. The goal is to watch the mind stream and not get carried away by it. When you work out you are actually destroying your body. It means doing nothing. The rhythmic repetition of breathing or saying an affirmation slows down the mind and allows easier access to it's. It involves eliciting the relaxation response. But true stress management involves deep relaxation and this is the exact opposite of activity.

You will never build it unless you practice the 3 Rs: relax manage stress and stay calm while awake. Recreate Weight training is the catabolic ingredient of the bodybuilding equation. Other forms of deep relaxation are acoustic vibration which is accomplished by playing music through an amplifier or speakers that contact and vibrate the muscle of the body.

It means to clear one's mind by watching thoughts as they arise and pass away. You create a condition of micro-trauma when you are exercising. Meditation relies on this process.

The body's resonant systems heartbeat. Working out is a positive form of stress. The best example of such a state is meditation. This is referred to as the process of entrainment. We must pay attention to what we are doing when training in the gym. The first step to getting good quality sleep is to be able to fall asleep easily. When activity reaches 0. When brain wave activity increases into the beta range. The rate at which brain cell impulses are transmitted drops. But this time stay there for a slightly longer period before they begin to rise back up to beta waves.

Recuperate: Your muscles won't grow just by working out. The dream we remember most vividly is the last one we have upon awakening. Then in an instant we never recall. After a workout you must recuperate and heal. Under normal circumstances you should get close to eight hours sleep a night. The mind empties of distractions and creates space for creativity. With your eyes open. My wife Christine reads for about 20 minutes and. As you close your eyes and become more relaxed this activity slows down to the alpha wave range of 13 to 8 Hz.

Here's how it works: As you close your eyes and drowsiness begins to set in. We continue to have dreams. For the next hour. During sleep. If you are training really hard you will know what I mean. After that. Result is more growth hormone secretion accompanied by another dream longer in duration. The major form of recuperation occurs during sleep and it is important to get enough high quality deep sleep.

The brain's predominant frequency has dropped past the crossover point into theta waves below 8 hz. With practice. It is at this point that the pituitary gland secretes growth hormone. I remember in training hard and heavy for Mr. So if you don't get enough sleep your body will not repair itself adequately and you will be left short on bodybuilding progress. Some people have no problem with this. Then brain waves begin to slow down again to 0. These two growth hormone secretions occur during the first four hours of sleep.

People who have sleep problems are those who can't shut off their mental activity. If you must resort to drugs be sure you do so under the care of a medical physician. Arnold Schwarzenegger once told me to "only associate with people who help you grow in a positive way".

They should not be strenuous and you should be very relaxed when you are doing them. Try training harder! Recreation: Activities that are relaxing and you enjoy doing fall into this category. Spending time with friends and loved ones is important. If you work out hard it's easier to fall asleep. And gradually descends to deep delta waves over a half hour period.

Usual dosage is 3 to 10 mg. But maybe if you have a problem sleeping it's because you're just not tired enough. Serotonin is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Very rarely do I experience the end of this program.

L-tryptophan taken a half hour before bed recommended dosage is mg. Two substances that work well for me are melatonin. Just listening to it in bed puts me out every time. Melatonin doesn't agree with some people and they feel groggy upon awakening. Some of my favorites are reading. Some nights I take melatonin or tryptophan. Niacin is important in this reaction because your body converts L- tryptophan to niacin in a 60 to 1 ratio.

This means is shuts off brain activity and enhances drowsiness. There are remedies of course and my recommendation is to first use those that do not involve drugs.

Something is on their minds and they can't let go of it. This advice has certainly worked. I don't mean pigging out on junk food. The days you don't train are good times to forget all about working out and do something recreational.

This is the best kind of recreation. My two favorite companions are my wife Christine and my dog Tyler. There's nothing more rewarding than right company.

The brain needs a variety of stimulation to grow new neural pathways. You will re-create your body. I might get a slight injury from being careless it has happened and cut the workout short.

Treat injuries with therapy and rest. A smart thing to do is not force yourself to go through your workout if you sustain an injury. Another advantage was that the workouts got easier as you went from torso day one.

Another problem I began experiencing as I got older was chronic shoulder soreness. I might be really sore in a certain area and go lighter or not work it altogether. The pull. It was always back. I needed something that gave me one hard shoulder day only.

I can honestly say that I've never done the exact same workout in 50 years of training. I know what I want to do. You need as schedule to follow. Remembering back to pre when everyone trained like Arnold doing his of Chest and Back on Mondays and Thursdays.

More on this later. Why change anything. Olympia victories and continued it well into the late s. I can still get great thigh workouts without stress on my lower back and knees. I got an idea. I'm listening to my body. I followed the three way split program presented under the title Growth Routine for over 20 years. I used this routine in training for my Mr. Since chest and back day involve so much shoulder work. That would make the other upper body workout arms only.

The body thrives on routine. I had to stop doing barbell squats after due to lower back problems and thanks to the Leg Blaster. When I find something that works I stick with it as long as it produces the results I want. But when I start working out I make decisions that I didn't initially anticipate and the routine changes a bit. I may re-arrange the order of exercises.

The torso workout on day one works back. I like to take a day off after the torso workout to give my lower back a rest. This workout covers a big area of the body but once you finish it.

This is a great psychological advantage to have your split routine get easier as you go through it on successive days. Arm work is always done the day right after leg day since arms and legs have nothing to do with each other. Thigh exercises like leg curl. I give special priority to abdominal work on this day even though I work abs every day.

Leg work on day two involves only two body parts. As I wrote in Mind Body Spirit Personal Training Diaries: Winter is a season with maintenance as its theme Spring time means growth depicted by the color green Summer's intensity is glowing lava red hot Autumn is harvest.

I want to do enough exercise to not let myself get out of shape. This is something I do every year. I ask myself "What parts or part of my body need more work. I don't want to lose sight of my abs. It's called a 7 day cycle because I work each body part once every 7 days. There are four distinct seasons. I train progressively harder and harder from spring up until autumn. Maintenance lasts from Thanksgiving through New Years and maybe a bit longer. Look at nature. My goal is to keep my bodyweight the same.

I do a 7 day cycle by training three time a week doing torso on Monday. It begins after I reach my peak for the year during the autumn.

How would this apply to bodybuilding? Winter is my maintenance season. It's not the best shape of my life each year anymore. One of the best procedures I've ever followed that accounts for the fact that I'm still in shape and training hard at over 60 years of age is the fact that I've always cycled the intensity and frequency of my workouts.

Since I'm training less frequently I have time to specialize. Now it usually starts at Thanksgiving since it takes me a little longer to reach my yearly peak. Simply put. Maintenance means doing just enough training to stay in shape and for me it means not to get fat. Training Cycles So my Zane Experience 3 way split workout is torso day one. They train the entire year but with different goals in mind. I don't try to look like I did in the best shape of my life at age 37 although sometimes I have dreams of doing this.

Professional athletes do it. I may even do less work for these stronger areas during maintenance season. For me this is not the time to do a lot of extra sets. I like the way my clothes fit already. If you don't miss any scheduled workout days the program will recur in the same format every three weeks and you will feel stronger and grow providing you get adequate rest and nutrition.

So when I get back into more serious training in the spring time. Usually by mid January or early February I go to a 6 day cycle. Doing a three way split. So I do my abdominal work and keep up cardio vascular activity. The idea is to create a new look to your body by changing your proportions. I notice that I'm usually very strong for each workout because I'm getting adequate rest between training sessions.

As the days get longer and the sun is shining more and more. The idea is to even out development in all parts of the body to improve overall proportions. I don't do the growth routine anymore. So I consider maintenance training or off season training i.

I usually follow this kind of training right up until the first day of Spring. Spring is growing season. Getting a legal specialist, making a scheduled visit and coming to the office for a personal meeting makes doing a Frank Zane Training Manual Pdf from start to finish exhausting.
