Favorite Bodybuilders

My workout tends to model the workouts of my favorite bodybuilders. I do modify these workouts to how I feel that day. Here is a list of my favorite bodybuilders.

  • Bob Paris
  • Lee Labrada
  • Frank Zane
  • Francis Benfatto
  • Dorian Yates
  • Mike Mentzer
  • Tom Platz
  • Arnold

Each of these bodybuilders have influenced the way I workout. In the early 90's I've used Bob Paris' workout systems with good results. Also I have learned how to keep a journal and at times post my meals. Now I have to say I have not been consistent. However I do have journals through my house of workouts I have done.

Yates and Mentzer are also my favorite due to their strong work ethics and the intensity of their workouts. Yates as build a herculean physique training 40 minutes per workout four times a week. Mike Mentzer was his role model and has also trained him a few times. Lee Labrada does incorporate a high intensity routine but with higher volume/ Tom Platz routine is a hybrid of Arnold's and Mike Mentzer, this guy is insane. Last year I used his back and delt routine for one of my training session and I was sore for a week. As for Arnold what can I say about him he is the king, as for his workouts it is a lot of sets and exercises with moderate weights.
