I love Steve's approach. I do a 17 set workout that he prescribes in his training for seniors. But I do the 8-12 range which is for younger muscle as i am not 50 yet. I find this is enough stimualation. 60 set workouts is for a competitive mesomorph bodybuilder in his 20's.

[@fonzem2589]

I saw the first pic and was like pfffft c'mon man I do more than that ,then I saw the second part and was like ughhh I guess I can get that bit more then the third part and I'm like damn dude trying to kill me😅

[@mbeyn]

Thanks for approving and/or modifying exercise by exercise the best bodybuilder’s of all times’ routine

[@Krico2006]

I do use his routine on a regular basis However I split upper body one day and lower day the next. It is exhausting doing this full routine in one session.

[@llg3pe]

Krico2006 do you go heavy? To failure on any sets? Or do you stay moderate?

[@philipph.3876]

​@@llg3pe Well, if you are a beginner, 3 sets and 10 reps is the best way to start for each muscle. The stronger and muscular you get, the more you increase your sets and the weight. Use moderate weight and try to stop 1 or 2 reps before failure because it is not about reaching failure; it is about consistency and longevity, looking good and feeling good. 9 sets per muscle are for the advanced fellow who already has a good physique and a really solid foundation. Leroy Colbert recommended 6 sets per body part for the already conditioned bodybuilder. Start with 3 sets per muscle and work your way up to 6 sets or even 9 sets if that is what you are shooting for.

[@llg3pe]

Myst wahrermann Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@gregshock]

I think Steve only used this high volume routine preparing for a contest. Short periods of time, in other words. This is like sixty sets!

[@pauldillingham6316]

You're not getting through this routine in an hour.

[@theshawman6074]

I would also trade out one tricep routine for the close bench press. Great vid on a top classic physique.

[@DanielFigueroa]

sweet! thanks for sharing and thank you ! :)

[@js5791]

Trade out that cross face extension exercise that shit is wack

[@marius3347]

I started shoulders on monday and ended with neck on friday, only one workout lol

[@jimjam1719]

daniel- i have this book,,, great read,,, "some" of the workouts reps and sets i kinda disagree with,,, but,, on the whole, he has a ton of helpful information in there. he also gave out his macros,, 60 carbs, 30 protein, 10 fat. that routine is too much and it would take bout 2hrs to complete, at 3 times a week??? that would burn you out mentally over time. i get better results twice a week with less, then again,,, most important note,,, i'm 51 and my hormones have changed,,, so,,,,, lol. he does mention power walking when you get older so will do more of that to help out. thanks daniel, really like how you look up to the real original old schoolers of bb. that's a quality feather in your cap, so to speak, of growing. peace.

Hack Squat would’ve been the barbell hack squat

[@jeanbaumgartner4052]

THANKS For Sharing These Videos 📹!

[@abraxas7779]

Cool routine. Probably something advanced lifters could do in short bursts. Got to remember Steve was extremely gifted.

[@wtpiep82]

Reeves didn’t really have to train calves because his calves were already a strong body part, if they are a weak body part I would suggest 5x5 for them. He always said to work your weakness very hard and not your strengths, which is what most people do.

[@DanielFigueroa]

yeah but not with 5x5. bad idea. more like 6-30 reps. 18 sets per week

[@wtpiep82]

Daniel Figueroa so your suggesting 18 sets per week for at least 6 reps, I’m suggesting 15 sets per week for 5 reps, hows that much of a difference? Bad idea? This was suggested by Reeves himself as an alternative to training calves. I can assure you that if calves are a weakness, high reps won’t do much. Don’t knock it until you try it.

[@DanielFigueroa]

reeves had genetically gifted calves, take advice from someone who didn't. I never said high reps. The rep range should be from 6 reps to 20 reps. Something like that would be more optimal.

[@wtpiep82]

@@user-xb5ut5jt6p did you try it?

[@kurtfranklin2680]

Nice video. New subscriber here. Steve Reeves was top-tier in terms of aesthetics all time. That silver era look he had was better than golden era guys like Schwarzenegger in my opinion. Totally agree about training neck. I have a naturally thin neck and I trained it three times a week to keep it thick.

[@HunterXenios]

i like it deff would work, but i do what leroy colbert would preach and said it multiple times on his youtube channel, and hes up there as one of the GOAT natural body builders IMO. he said he would stick to 3-6 sets per body part depending on how long you been lifting. he preached that many times on his youtube channel which IMO the most informative bodybuilding youtube channel

[@DanielFigueroa]

facts sir, facts,

[@baronmeduse]

For the neck you can do pressing a football against a wall/door frame. I use a well-pumped leather ball. And you can get harder ones. It's safer than dicking about with plates on your head.🙂

[@yndrop1751]

Hey brother I have a question...Did you find split or full body routines better?

[@tonyvee5799]

I have to say FBW . I used to do splits with 2 body parts one body part. I saw some gainz but once I switched to FBW 3 times a weeks I felt like captain america . I was ok ok I like this. Thn I went to upper lower split just to change it up I start seeing my gains diminishing . I said wtf is going on plus I didn't felt the pump doing upper lower. . now if you feel that is to much try to do chest back shoulder and calves Monday Wednesday Friday and legs arms forearms abs on Tuesday Thursday Saturday. It's almost like doing FBW just splitting up.

[@ront2457]

9 sets per Body part is a nice spot for growth....that routine would take quite a while to complete and the overall volume is very high since anytime to do back or chest work you are working your delts and arms

[@TheGilbalfas]

Buy Steve's book - Building the Classic Physique

[@Krico2006]

I brought this book 11 years ago, it is a gem.

[@TheGilbalfas]

Press behind the neck never hurt my neck and I've been doing them for 10 yrs. Not super heavy but just as Steve says. Perfect form, slow and controlled and wide grip. Side laterals seated did how ever hurt my neck. You wont get his shape in the shoulders unless you follow his 3 exercises. ITs not a bulky deltoid, its broad shoulder classic line kind of a look, which I prefer.

[@davidclark6172]

Gil Balfas press behind neck is not bad for your neck it's bad for your shoulders

[@davidclark6172]

@Mookie Spindlehurst glad you wised up better late than never thanks

[@Ghost-sd3it]

Can someone tell me why the classic physique workout is harder than the Mr. Universe workout

[@cyrus3316]

Do you mean like Arnold workout or the modern classic physiques?

[@TheGilbalfas]

Adapt this routine for your own body. Don't dismiss it just because its too much volume.

[@ddw-ge1ss]

Not even much volume

[@jaredleland6667]

What i wonder were his rest periods between sets? I’d wanna keep the rest to a minimum just so the workout doesn’t take forever

[@TheGilbalfas]

What is the point of showing us the routine that created the best natural physique of 19th century and then tell us not to do it? Recomending your exercises defeats the purpose of this video

[@johnkaras6384]

You can train in any way or what is best for you everyones training and results will turn out different. No one can achieve the physique of The great SteveReeves.Genetics pure and simple...

[@TheGilbalfas]

Yes but you can emulate his shape. His shape is different to today's bodybuilders because he trained differently.

[@Joakim86]

Could someone please explain "High Pulley Bench Curl" ? Thanks!

[@sergiojaenlara2091]

Does it work?

[@bobbaker9595]

Is this his advance routine?

[@DanielFigueroa]

yes

[@Ghost-sd3it]

That’s exactly why I’m doing it 😂

[@ClassicPhysique27]

@@Ghost-sd3it how did it go

[@Ghost-sd3it]

@jonathancontreras633 well I'm swole asf now but I don't remember 4 years ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I've done a lot of different things since then

[@panagenesis2695]

No offense to the late, great Steeve Reeves, but this routine seem to have a lot of superfluity, redundancy and volume. For example, wouldn't a back routine just require pull up/down, row and lower back extension exercises, with periodic variations, to hit all the major muscles?

[@OscarORosas]

How long would this take?

[@cyrus3316]

Well first he was doing 27 sets per week per muscle group...isn't that too much? Second how can I go all out and to failure on this routine because you only get 1 rest day in between workout days? Ex: Monday workout... Tuesday rest..Wednesday workout again...so how to manage this for maximum growth if am going all out to failure??

What does '3x8-12' mean? Do 3 sets of 8 reps 12 times? 288 total reps?

[@blademaster9297]

It means 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps

[@xavierrea7113]

I weigh 165 lbs if I want to be bulking how should my macros and calories should be....5”11 18 years old

so do you wanna just gain weight or gain lean muscle?

Buy steve's book Building the Classic Physique

[@carnival8789]

Can this workout be used to lean down as well?

Calories in vs calories out, period.

[@yowhaatsup]

I thought it was two exercise per body part?

[@DanielFigueroa]

this is steve reeves routine... not leroys..

[@yowhaatsup]

@@DanielFigueroa would you recommend doing 3 exercise per body part

[@DanielFigueroa]

@@yowhaatsup just watch the video man..

[@warrenhoffman653]

Jeez. That’s a lot of work 3 times a week

[@drgainz7539]

1 set for calves? He did a lot more than that for sure.

[@DanielFigueroa]

nope, he usually did only 1-3 sets. good calf genetics and already good calf development

[@gregshock]

Some people just have naturally good calves. My calves are 18-1/2” and that’s just from walking around on them. I can hardly get my socks up over them. Now, if I could only get my arms up to that measurement.

[@yowhaatsup]

Did steeve reeves cheat on his diet?

[@DanielFigueroa]

no, he ate very clean most of his life. it was rare when he ate junk food...

[@TheGilbalfas]

Not often. 95% of the time he ate healthy apparently.

[@RetrofIex]

He said in a recorded interview he legit drinks that power shake every morning for breakfast for 50+ years!

[@shadow72728]

way too much volume to do in one work out

[@TheGilbalfas]

Yep. It is. This is not for a normal man. No matter how old you are. That said this can be adpated and you can do one set per exercise instead of 3.

[@CoachDouglasOdom]

Or way too much work to do over the course of a week. That's why I like training 3 days a week. Then when you are ready, you can work up to this kind of volume for a short period of time.

[@Ghost-sd3it]

Bro never say to much of anything, that’s causing doubt, leading to lack of Gainz!

[@blademaster9297]

Only if you’re a pussy

[@ifikks3126]

This workout would last 3 hours. Too much exercises

[@DanielFigueroa]

yeah, thats what i said

[@satadrumukherjee6174]

Not a good exercise routine... Too much volume... Will slowly eat your body... After each and every session You have to take 3 to 4 days off... But if you can split this routine then it's mind blowing... Low volume with high intensity...

[@satadrumukherjee6174]

Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines you call this a moderate volume... RIP MODERATE VOLUME...

[@satadrumukherjee6174]

Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines you are the master of turning the point of logical answer... I also know very well that 9 sets per body part is a very low volume routine... But he was doing a full body routine... So 9 sets of each and ever body part is adding to a large amount of volume... So it's not at all moderate... Captain Mantastic pls spread some truth rather than your bullshit theories of high volume routine

[@bashsibda6289]

Satadru Mukherjee Certainly ate Steeves body. Look at him. All wimpy. No wait. He is actually the real Hercules!
