A multiple past-Mr. The Olympia champion recently revealed the training regimen he used to build his strong and balanced muscle base that saw him win shows before the age of 21 and win the Mr.

Initially, he started with six weeks of full-body workouts, to allow his body to get used to the training. After that, he spent three years following a mass-building routine, which he credits as the foundation of muscle, which allowed him to become a professional bodybuilder and then win several Mr. Here’s that mass-building routine:

This routine definitely contradicts many of the professional routines featured in muscle magazines. This is because what appears in the magazines are often the advanced routines that professionals use once they ALREADY BUILD THAT MUSCLE BASE. The routines they used to build that muscle are often overlooked, because they are simple, low-volume, and often very unexciting. But, as Mr. Olympia will attest, a heavy, low-volume foundation program works wonders!
