@noelxhs: Ranking some of the greatest bodybuilders based purely on their training style and training philosophy, not their physiques or how successful they were, as evidently, the more famous you are, it seems the worse your training actually is. I’ve always found it interesting how differently the best bodybuilders trained. Some relied on extremely high volume and lots of exercises, while others focused much more on intensity, progression, execution and recovery. Yet, what I’ve found the most interesting is that a lot of bodybuilders have contradictory advice. Lee Haney says that he is a living example of how “stimulate don’t annihilate” works, yet Dorian Yates is the exact opposite of that, and arguably bigger as well as leaner. For me, I naturally prefer the lower-volume, high-effort approach, which is why Dorian Yates and Mike Mentzer rank so highly. I like the idea of making every working set count rather than doing endless sets just for the sake of doing more. For the sake of the pump, the burn, the feel. That doesn’t mean one style is automatically better than another though. These guys all trained differently and still managed to build incredible physiques, although mainly due to steroid usage. However, there are lessons to take from all of them, and I definitely wouldn’t say you need to copy any one bodybuilder’s exact routine. This is just my personal ranking based on the training principles I find most interesting and would actually want to use myself. #mrolympia #dorianyates #arnoldschwarzenneger #heavyduty #mikementzer

dylanzimmm :

U would actually put Mike mentzer over Ronnie?

sggy_28 :

I agree heavily on arnold. Im sorry but arnold is overrated like wdym u hv to “shock” the muscles to train

𝕸𝖔𝖒𝖔 :

c'mon man jay Cutler in that pic you choose is easily one of the best Mr Olympias at their peak

honty :

agreed, arnold is so overrated

Your 🇨🇦 gym rat :

Bros trying to tell mr Olympia’s they don’t know how to train😭

Jesse :

Flex and Mike Mentzer have never won an Olympia

Đan Tê :

But they’re bigger than us

matt rights :

Wrong about Arnold’s diet. His diet was pretty good mostly whole foods like steak and eggs alot of protein to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. He was one of the first bodybuilders to utilize protein powder, as said in his interview he would drink it between classes when he couldn’t eat

beastmoe :

Without Arnold, none of these other guys you mentioned would've eve. existed.

Kade :

In the end all these guys did what made them bigger, to their personal genetics, their routines where for themselves, ppl saying that they trained “wrong” don’t have enough experience in the gym to understand

liam frye :

people saying Arnold is overrated I hope you guys mean in his training technique

Jpd272 :

You rank “Mr. Olympia” and have people in your post that were never Mr. Olympia. If just anyone who competed in the contest can be “Mr. Olympia”, the title means nothing.

👾 :

finally someone realized that arnold is VERY OVERRATED

samsulkeenthusiast :

Bro this is possibly the worst take I have ever seen😭😭, you talk about jays mentality and then give Arnold a 1?? If we are going just off training sure he’s not got great training. But you included mentality and then give him a 1?! Like are you trolling, he has one of the BEST mentality’s ever

I hate that there’s people who still glaze arnold and compare him to modern bodybuilders he was great for his time but everything he stood for is outdated

Not mr olympia but..

fitbyblood :

Charles Glass over complicated Flex’s training. With his genetics all he had to do was just basic exercises with progressive overload
