THE COMPLETE WORKOUTS BODYBUILDING The Barbarian The Soldier Superset Superstrength LEAN AND MEAN Locked and Loaded Fit and Strong Rapid Fire STRENGTH The Killing Machine Strength Machine Hercules ULTIMATE ATHLETE The Spartan The Boxer The Fighter The rules 1. Work your ass off 2. Don’t skip any exercises. Expect the workouts to be very hard with a real possibility of vomit. This will pass after a couple of weeks. 3. Warm up, cool down and stretch at the end. If i had stretched as much as i should have when i started out i wouldn’t be such a wreck now. To learn how to stretch visit mobilitywod. A great site that will help you with those stiff hammies . 4. Don’t skip the unloading week. It’s there for a reason. It’s called science. It will allow your body to recover fully and make the adaptions to the workouts. It will feel like are taking your foot off the gas but trust me. Sometimes it's 1 step backwards 2 steps forward. 5. Keep to the tempo. It is the single most important aspect of the whole system. Muscular adaptations are dependent on the type of tension and the length of time that tension is applied. The tempo's here are designed specifically to take advantage of that effect. Type of stimulus = type of response. Remember. The numbers refer to actual seconds, not the seconds you might apply when you want the set over. Tempo breakdown The first number always corresponds to the time under tension whilst the muscle lengthens or the eccentric phase of the lift. The second number refers to the tension pause and the third number the concentric portion as the muscle shortens. e.g. 3120 the 1st number always refers to the lowering or stretching phase – in this case 3 seconds the 2nd number always refers to the pause at the maximum tension phase - 1 second the 3rd number always refers to the effort in contraction – 2 seconds the 4th number refers to the rest between movements at the easiest phase – 0 seconds Disclaimer The information in this ebook is not intended to replace medical advice.

Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian demonstrated a tremendous and balanced physique. When training for the movie he got into such good shape that he decided to come out of retirement from competitive bodybuilding and enter the 1980 Mr Olympia contest. He was in such good shape he won! To gain such a large quantity of solid and balanced muscle required hard work and attention to detail. These workouts combine the symmetrical approach to physique development with the barbarism and savagery that Conan himself would be proud of. The following workouts are a mixture of functional bodybuilding, strength, a metabolic work that will leave you massive and shredded. 4 days Block 1 Day Option 1 Option 2 Mon Chest/ Bi’s /abs Chest/Bi’s/abs Tue Back/tr’s/rotation Off Wed Off Back/tri’s/rotation Thur Legs Legs Fri Shoulders/traps/forearms Off Sat Off Shoulders/traps/forearms Sun Off Off Day 1 -
