Bill Starr training program?

[Careyn]

I was told that Arnold followed the Bill Starr training programs when he was at his peak back in the 70's. I am a big fan of the 5X5 program. people are under the false assumption that Arnold never training heavy or am I wrong on that? I've also read that Starr's training is good for NFL players.

I didn't know Arnold followed bill starrs program but possible I guess. I think arnold trained heavy>light in intervals but he trained LONG like 3-4 hours which is insane.

No he didn't. But he has trained heavy very early in his career.

it depends on what you mean by 'training heavy' there are plenty of videos of arnold lifting what most people would describe as heavy weight. but i think he knew even in those days not to train like a gorilla, you can't be as consistent and dominant as he was during the 70's by getting yourself injured

Arnold did lots of volume. He trained moderately heavy but not heavy enough he couldn't do all that volume.

 

[Tazz]

he did both

Arnold did volume training but 5x5 is also great. All training is great vs nothing.

 

[Mobster]

To be clear - Arnold competed in strength / powerlifting type competitions early in his training career. Google it or read his Education of a Bodybuilder book. Even a kind of German stone lifting event. But Bill Starr's program? No.

I think he did use bill starrs base though I heard this multiple times.
