From interview by Osmo Kiiha of The Iron Master (IM).
IM: "How about a sample routine from the 1950s?"
Reg: "I didn't have a favorite workout routine. I have done every routine and every exercise in the book, but like most advanced trainers, I have found what exercises and what routines give me the best results. What is good for one man isn't necessarily good for somebody else. My bodyweight fluctuated between 230 and 245 during those years. Here is a routine I used around 1956-1957 with good results:"

Warm-up… Light Power Snatch
I came across this video on youtube and thought it was informative and interesting, so I thought I'd share it with my Rippeder fans. In this episode of Ric's Corner Ric Drasin discusses steroid use by bodybuilders in the 1970's and current use by pros today. He also gives advice on training. Ric Drasin was Arnold's training partner for four years. He is an artist, actor, stuntman, writer, personal trainer, former bodybuilder, and retired professional wrestler.
When asked to “make a muscle” the average person invariably flexes his biceps. Bodybuilders are no different . . . big arms fascinate them more than any other body part.
I’m no different myself . . . I’ve admired big arms as long as I can remember, and have worked long and hard to get a pair. I’ve been amply rewarded for my labors in this direction, but not until I had spent many, many years experimenting with the various exercises and training principles covered in the course booklet.
Furthermore, the time I spent working for big arms was much longer than it need be for you. How often during my earlier training years I had wished for a book such as this, describing exactly the exercises and training methods! But I had to learn a lot of what I now know by trial and error, by luck, hope, and mistakes.
So, the purpose of this book is to spare you some false turns and blind alleys on the road to magnificent arms. With my own errors in mind, this booklet is written for you, so you can avoid them. Follow the course as laid out . . . the prescribed exercises, sets, repetitions, exercise style. Put real determination in your workouts, make this a turning point in your big arm training . . . you won’t regret it!
Best of luck.
