Cheesy 1980's workout video by the most aggressive NFL player of his era.I found this online and just had to share it with everybody.Classic 80's feel to it. Solves the problem of what to do with 2 milk jugs. Watch video below:
Early 1980's.
EXERCISE NO. 1 – TRICEPS PUSH DOWN ON LAT MACHINE
He recommended 4 sets of 10 reps, and emphasized keeping good technique – arms’ to the sides of the body keeping the elbows in a “fixed” position, and performing complete extension on each repetition.
EXERCISE NO. 2 – SEATED DUMBBELL CURLS
Again he recommended 4 sets of 8-10 reps, and using good form. Keep the back straight, and perform full curl movements. Keep the curls strict and do not swing the weights.
"Train each body part twice a week, as hard and relentless as possible each time. Every second week, I'd dead-lift after my leg routine. My dead lift workout was 300 for five reps, 400 for five reps, 500 for five reps, 600 for two or three reps, 650 for one rep and 700 for one rep."

Bent-over Row:
Arthur Jones Ideal Training Routine:
In the 1978 issue of Muscle, while training for the upcoming Mr. Olympia, Ken Waller explained his diet:
"I stay hungry. For me that's eating only four times a day. I eat four eggs and a piece of meat almost every meal. If I eat chicken, it will be four big breasts, that sort of quantity. That's not a lot of food when you are training like I am several hours a day. I'll eat a muffin in the morning. I get my usual cravings at midnight. Then I am stuffing myself in some restaurant when the rest of the world is asleep. Why, just the other night I ate two pints of ice cream and a bag of cookies, and a half a cream pie. I thought my stomach would burst. I'm notorious for excesses, but I manage to control them. Funny though, the next morning my stomach was shrunk more than ever. Maybe I needed it. You can get away with that now and then, but don't try it every day.
Rachel McLish was the first Ms. Olympia and was at the peak of her popularity in the 80's. She's best know for her muscularity but also for maintaining her feminity. She mainted this look by being steroid free. She continues to train today and looks great. For women looking to obtain a great classic physique look they should give her workout a try.
In Joe Weider's "Shape" magazine, July 1984, Rachel shared her off-season workout schedule.

CHEST & ARMS
The following Larry Scott workout and diet information is from an interview he had with Irving Johnson:
How he trains:
Serge Nubret’s training routine was based on high volume of training. He was known to train for hours and when asked about this he said he loved bodybuilding. The foundation of his training philosophy was to use light to moderate weight for higher reps. Below is the workout routine he used.
In the golden era of bodybuilding before steroids entered the scene workouts consisted of full body workouts 3 times a week. This type of workout gave enough time to recover between workouts. If you're natural you need this time for your muscles and nervous system to recover properly. So why did training frequency change in the mid 50's and onward? Anabolic steroid use began which allowed for quicker recovery between workouts and greater gains.
The following workouts were advanced arm routines that Rick Wayne used from time to time. Below is the workout in which he used what he called "super-super sets".
He did two exercises for biceps followed by two exercises for triceps. A short rest would then be taken and he would repeat the “super-super set” again for the desired number of times, usually 4 to 6 “super-super sets” were performed.
