re: Is Arnold's Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding still relevant?

It is good to remember Arnold was taking massive amounts of jamba juice when he was following those routines.

Actually no he wasn't, what he took would be considered beginner cycles now a days.

Little test, good amount of primo during contest prep

Small amounts of test and deca during the off-season with dbol as breakfast.

The difference was during the timehe used routines he has in the book, he was doing real estate and bodybuilding full time. He had access to natural beef and eggs for cheap and ate the shite out of them. Also slept for 10-12 hours a day. Usually 10 at night and a 2 hour nap during the day.

Also Arnold like most pros are genetic freaks. They recover easier from cycles, convert test to free test at a much greater rate then normal, and overall do everything better.

Arnold also responded to super high volume and continued to push the envelope volume wise and due to being a freak was able to have an MRV that would crush most normal people.
