Leroy Colbert's Training Routine & Philosophy

[@RoyyMak]

I love watching his old commentary videos, he said “ l don’t care how big anybody else is, I was the first with 21 inch arms, and no one can take that away from me”. Love it

[@RobM333]

Leroy spoke more about moving his sets up to 6 per body part and not ten, more often than anything else. I never heard him talk about ten sets, maybe earlier on when experimenting he did ten but his advice was 6 sets and to listen to your body. Leroy definitely has some great advice.

[@gregpettis1113]

Leroy said three sets per body part was good for conditioning. But six sets were for the advanced bodybuilders

[@Trendle222]

@@gregpettis1113 that sounds more reasonable than 10-20 sets per muscle group lol, Hell i would be DONE after doing 10 sets of chest and 10 sets of biceps alone, much less doing 10 sets each of legs, calves, shoulders, triceps, back........

[@philipph.3876]

A lot of people are confused about Leroy's workout routine ... it is true, he did more than 6 sets for a body part, but that was when he was a full-time bodybuilder. It's a difference. When half of your energy goes away because you are working 8-12 hours in an office job, studying for school, whatever, it's hard to do. Especially back then for Leroy, in the 50s, 60s, etc. where most of the jobs were 8-hour shifts, and you could go home happy after. Today you are working at least 9-12 hours in most situations, and sometimes on Saturdays too. It's just a different world. Training 10-15 sets, maybe up 20 sets per body part on a Full Body Routine, like Leroy sometimes did, is something for a professional or at least advanced bodybuilder.

[@Luke41lol]

@Greg Pettis Where did Leroy say that I'm curious to find out? That would explain a lot.

[@philipph.3876]

@Greg Pettis So how do you exactly know what he's talking about? It seems to me that you just said it to make it fit your narrative. Sure, you're not wrong, you work multiple muscles on many movements, but obviously, there are isolation movements such as Calf Raises. And in my honest opinion, you can't be a complete bodybuilder getting all the work for your muscles done from indirect work. You won't grow big shoulders getting your shoulder work from a Bench Press or your Triceps work from an Overhead Press.

[@Neophyte4295]

Full body 2 times a week also works very well for natural lifters, especially if your starting to venture into higher volume training. Also introducing 2 way splits, upper/ lower and push/pull can make the higher volume approach much more flexible and sustainable

[@arronbatchvarov5035]

Np push pull is for steroid users if you want 20 inch arms then train full body and eat 6 meals 5 shakes and cretines amonos all day pong

[@thebarbender1423]

" we did 3 sets yesterday..lets do 10 sets today bro.." Friend runs immediately 😁😁

[@arandomzoomer4837]

I’ve become a huge fan of higher frequency splits and I personally do upper lower. Full body, upper lower, etc seem to be key because being natural means losing the muscle protein synthesis after a few days at most, so you have to stimulate the muscle more often

[@naldovaz9157]

My trainer speaks highly of the man because he is also old school... I been doing an 3 day a week full body workout... Always change up of a variation of the full body workout.... Super sets, tri sets and more.... I have to rest and be mentally prepared because it is much and intense... When you are done....you feel it... I been putting on muscle and getting strong

[@SMewett]

After learning intensity from Mentzer, I discovered this guy. He turned me to training more often. I started with full body, but currently train upper and lower. Although after experimenting and learning what works best for me, I program my training over a month. So if I have trained upper body, I won't train upper until I've rested 3-4 days and the same for legs. So averaging 3 times a week. One week upper twice, the following week it may work out legs are twice. So that's approx 14 seasons a month. That's so much better for my recovery.

[@hakimislam6218]

He may have done 10 sets in the beginning, but he advocated doing a maximum of 6 sets for each body part. His philosophy was to stimulate not annihilate the muscle!

[@johnfedorov8089]

@Tilted Silphi You can either do a lot of volume, and lift not as intensely.. or do lower volume and lift intensely. Doing 30 sets per muscle per week is far more than recommended by industry professionals. Like.. A LOT more. Double the recommendation in most cases.

yes bro he did , steve reeves did 9 sets a body part , leroy colbert was a champion, no way he was growing off just 6 sets man. he did a workout more like steve reeves, have u seen reg parks workout? or leroy colberts blitz routine? they're high in sets man... also check this out: this is a very credible website. ditillo2.blogspot.com/2014/08/leroy-colbert-his-training-philosophy.html

[@dakkitoto3467]

Yeah the blitz is 10 sets, and on occation he did more than 6, but 6 sets every other day is 24 sets for each bodypart, thats quite alot in a week and that is atleast what he advocates, 3-6 sets depending on your energy, advancement etc, will check this site out

[@DanielFigueroa]

yeah i know he says 3-6 sets, and so does steve reeves in his book as well. but think about it, does leroy ever talk about how many sets HE did? and if he does, show me the video... send it right now he advocates what YOU should do. not what he does. n i know its a lot of volume, just look at the steve reeves workout, 9 sets a body part... do the math. over 50 sets a workout. thats pretty close to the blitz routine amount of sets wouldnt u agree? explain that please :)

[@dakkitoto3467]

Have not seen that you responded, well yeah i guess thats possible and yes you are right, he tells you what you should do, i guess you have to experiment after that for yourself.. Im very curious as how what progression method he used.. As it would be hard to keep doing 6-10 or 8-10 without lowering the load tremendously when only resting 1 minute between sets.

Found this video where he says you cant do 10 sets each muscle when you do full body workouts, kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2SZhXqvZ72imac at 1:58, why would he say that if he did upwards 20, thats why im hesitant..

[@dallascove540]

Good video. I met Leroy years ago when he was working at the Weider warehouse in Union City, NJ. I was a teenager looking to pack on muscle. He was a nice guy and answered all my questions while he was working out in the back room of the office. He said "Just be very consistent with your workouts and do a lot of sets of whatever good exercises you like and make sure you get a great pump every workout." That was it! Simple. I followed that and built my arms to 18 1/2 inches from about 16 inches during one summer. I also drank a gallon of milk a day. All natural of course! Leroy was a great guy.

Leroy was a genetic freak - go to his website and check out his pics at 16-19 y.o. Folks, dont do 10 sets per body part, 3 times per week. Just because Leroy did it for short periods doesn't mean you should. He advocated 3 - 6 sets, and that's likely not super intense, failure sets either. He also advocated using your energy levels as a guide to w/o volume. In his videos he talks more about principles than what he did specifically, and there is good reason for this...

I saw an article from a knowledgable blog writer (ditillo2.blogspot.com/2014/08/leroy-colbert-his-training-philosophy.html), he has a lot of expertise when it comes to old school bodybuilding. It says Leroy Colbert did 15 sets on average. And I believe that is what you have to do when you are an advanced bodybuilder. However, 6 sets 3 times per week in a Full Body program is what he preached later. Maybe he overthought his training methods. I've seen people who train a muscle on average 3-4 a week usually go with 5-6 sets per body part.

They ate like kings and slept like kings. lol tbh i don't really know how to say how he recovered, but he just did. He went out on a limb and it had more of a positive effect on him than negative; so he stuck with it. Why not right? If its working and it didn't stop working, why stop? I could imagine what would i would look like if i was eating 5,000 calories, getting 8-10 hours of sleep, and training with more 80 sets a workout.

[@DanielFigueroa]

I agree!

[@ripperduck]

It goes back to what you said in an other vid. Intensity is the key. You gotta go hard, with concentration and intensity. If anyone is going to put that much work into a workout, you can't waste time and focus all your mental and physical energy. No other way...

[@dominionn09]

Ten sets per body part would make me sore for at least 2 days. Wouldn't work for an every other day. I stay around 5 to 6 for larger parts and 2-4 for small

[@chrono8233]

You gotta work up to it. I do 10 for chest every other day but I started with like 5. Takes time.

[@sebastienroux1790]

The amount of sets you do depends on how much muscle you already have. And you ramp up the weight. If you do 6 take 2/3rds of your 8 rep max for first set, add weight and do second set, more weight for the 3rd set still at 8 reps, then for the 4th set you should be at the 8 rep max and you do 8 reps, for the 5th and 6th set you drop the weight down to do more sets of 8. Before I started training like this I was used to 3-4 sets to failure. This way of training while not hitting failure is a lot better, started seeing gym performance progress within a week of training.

Great video man. Ever since I started watching Leroy's videos about full body I moved over from leg push pull. I normally do 12 sets for my main body parts such as legs,back,chest and shoulders. For my arms I normally do 12 sets. I would do 6 for Biceps and then 6 again for triceps. It may be a lot of volume but it works good. I know Leroy recommend 3 to 6 sets per body part but I feel like I can do more and if he trained in the 15 to 20 range for body parts not growing as fast I may try it but that is a lot of volume to fit in.

[@DanielFigueroa]

he did do some split training. reg park actually did split training too, but he said he made the most gains from the 3 days a week training

[@boxerfencer]

Most of your gains are the first years of training, and considering that you can't lift enough weight to drastically challenge your recuperative capabilities as a newb, fullbody works well enough. Especially as a teenager or young adult with plenty of time to sleep and beneficial levels of hormones as the case with most of this lifters of this era. You'll also remember though, that Colbert made his biggest gains in his upper-body (specifically his arms) after his motorcycle accident where he sustained a life long ankle injury, barring him from leg training for a long while, months if I recall. And probably where he introduced upper-lower. So, the case for fullbody being the most beneficial is case dependent. Personally, I've recently gone back to fullbody due to time constraints as an older man and had to seriously make some tweaks, taking out barbell squats and barbell deadlifts to make it work.

[@sebastienroux1790]

3 sets per body part for conditioning and 6 sets per body part to build. Although at some point he did use DHEA and even though its not a steroid if you arent going to use it, at least u know 3 sets per body part is safe for natural bodybuilders. Keep in mind he also said that you should listen to your body, so if u grow on 10 sets then go ahead but dont start at 10 as a beginner. The more experienced you are the more sets u will need.

[@sebastienroux1790]

@Greg Pettis Every other day definitely. But the amount of sets would depend on how the individual recovers. More than 3 sets I burn out instantly. At 3 sets I burn out slower, at 2 I burn out really slow. Haven't burned out on 1 set per body part yet. In my defense I take every set as close to failure as I can without killing myself (I gym alone so no spotter). Perhaps the too close to failure might be why I burn out at 3 sets but the thing is I lose strength if I don't train that way. And with 1 set per body part I can recover without even eating 0.5 g per pound in protein definitely making cutting easier.

[@sebastienroux1790]

@Greg Pettis I lift for both. I generally go as heavy as I can without breaking the form between 8-10 reps. Any higher and it feels like cardio any lower and I'll need different rep ranges for different muscles. So when I reach 10 reps then next weight's 8th rep (last rep) will be significantly slower. On rare occasion for example on the bench one arm would go up first before the other, on that last rep. So I don't really know how close to failure I'm training when it comes to % of 1rm. I think the next rep would definitely not finish. I train for both size and strength, I want to train for both without spending all day in the gym or needing to spend my entire budget on food just to recover.

[@DanielFigueroa]

i mean not really because he was a genetic freak and i think he was assuming that not everyone has the genetics at him. so he played it safe with the volume that he gives you. i don't know honestly... just my take on it

[@mjaynz]

Jesus 10 sets. Guess they’ll be well shy of failure

[@Han-nk3io]

Yes.it is.

[@MrKlmn1234]

Watch original video. You’ve got it completely wrong.

[@DanielFigueroa]

3-6 sets a muscle group, 3 times per week, full body. gotcha

[@lovegodrafferty8134]

Short intense to absolute failure worked best for us!!!!!

[@lovegodrafferty8134]

Two days rest between muscle groups..

Arnold admits they all took steroids....his idol reg parks was also a poster boy for steroids just not in the dosages of today

[@andyc9979]

Yes it's known guys from the this era used. Manly testosterone and nilivar and dianabol. The guy below thinks he outsmarted you but you're the one who is correct. Not saying every bb from the 50s used them but the big names definitely did. Reg park used steroids. It's not a knock. People always freak cuz they don't wanna hear it nor believe it

[@davenportbarbell734]

No offense to the man but I find it very difficult to believe he was natural

[@pedrogimenez3792]

I don't care how he looks, this routine is crap. How the hell are you going to do 10 (or 6 for those ones that say that he said 6) sets of chest, then 10 sets of delts, and then be at your 100% for doing 10 sets of leg and 10 sets of back? That doesn't make sense. That's an inefficient workout.

[@dannygoldbach3243]

Yeah this is wrong. Just watched one of his last videos. Full body every other day. One set per. Nows there's research to support it. Even jym is on board lol

[@DanielFigueroa]

yeah full body every other day. 3-6 sets right?

[@Executnr]

U mean 1 excersice

[@yasharshachaawar5530]

10 steps? Wrong info, he did six sets, when he got advanced... 10 sets is for anabolic steroid users..

[@friedrichjackson8633]

Drug free 53 cm arms ahahaha

[@DanielFigueroa]

yeah big arms lol

[@Satarnoch]

Yeah no. He didn't develop the arms because of rest and not training. It was because he got injured and could only focus on upper body.. Also I believe he was natural... right up until the injury and was PROBABLY medicated with steroids, because they quicken recovery. And maybe not consciously take them for training, but they of course helped with growing.

[@DanielFigueroa]

he didn't? show me the video pls, so i can put it in the caption, if i fucked up i wanna make it right. probably? .. idk about that

[@dakkitoto3467]

Yep, he severed his ankle and couldnt train legs anymore after the age of 22 i believe

[@ΚωνσταντινοςΜπονης-ο5ν]

He was not naturall logically
