Well, the first thing most people would notice is that routine is very high in volume...that is the most common problem with a beginners bodybuilding routine. What do you think...do you want to try this routine?

I think the abs should be trained with resistance, just like any other muscle group. Neglecting the abdominals will not only making you weaker in your core lifts but you could pre-dispose yourself to injuries down the road. I like Lee's dedication to training, though. Cut out of the mold of a young Arnold.

It looks like a solid routine to me, but I dont know if I would be able to train chest well after a hard shouders day. I consider my workouts to be high volume (15-20 sets per workout) but some of these have up to 40 sets. I know my intensity would drop A LOT working with 40 sets.

i really dont believe he does that workout at all. a buddy of mine works out with him at golds gym here in austin, texas and says the guys strategy is to overtrain to the maximum. apparently he goes for 2 hours at a time and basically makes sure the muscles he trains are incapable of functioning by the end of the workout.
