Day 1 Chest/Back/Calves
Dips or Decline Press 3 sets
Chins or Pulldown 3 sets
Bent Over Row(he likes dumbbells) 3 sets
Seated Calves 3 sets
Day 2 Legs
Back Squat 3 sets
Stiff Leg Dead 3 sets
(I think that's it)
Day 3
Lateral Raises 3 sets
Dumbbell or EZ Bar Curl 3 sets
Close Grip or Dips 3 sets
Standing Calves 3 sets
Day 4
off
Repeat
All the sets are done with a heaviest set in the 6-10 range and decreasing 10% for the subsequent sets. So a decline press workout might look like 250x7 225x10 205x12. Workouts are done quickly, only resting as long as needed to get your breath back.
Back in his day Phil trained with a 2 way split and trained 6-7 days a week so he was really up there with frequency... this seems like the mortal version. You can do all 3 sets with one exercise(easiest) or do 2-3 exercises, whatever you like. I remember reading an OLD post by Dante saying that a typical back workout for Phil was pull ups to the front, to the back of the head, and "fat man rows" and that was IT lol.
He's got this whole eating philosophy that flies in the face on conventional bodybuilding but seems to work for him and his clients but I'm not even going into that.
The thing I draw from guys like him, Dante, Ronnie, Dorian etc is that they are all incredibly heavy trainers, they train as often as their genetic recovery ability allows and they do those two things consistently for years. There are many ways to skin the cat here and there's no argument that once a week higher volume training has produced most of the best bodies the world has ever seen but if that isn't doing it for you a training approach like explained throughout this thread should be explored.
