I did not make this up btw im seeing what your opinions on this are.
 
.....

over training would be an understatement...

are you being serious? doing 21 exercises in 1 day? then 16 on the other day? every 2 days?
 
that is very intense, no doubt there are people out there who have the ability to recover from that sort of workout and have a serious amount of spare time to spend in the gym.
 
Its a recommendation in this thing I got, thread about it a few down page. I was just looking through it and amazed and the sheer content involved in one workout, i cant see my self being able to all that effectively :o
 
That's the kind of workout a bodybuilding pro using insane amounts of steroids, genes of a god, diet of a guru and recovery powers of Wolverine could get away with.

Mere mortals like us using nothing but a bit of creatine and whey? I don't think so

EDIT - Also anything with wrist curls in makes me cringe! They wrecked my wrists for months, avoid like the plague!!
 
Doing that every day won't really give you recovery will it? as your muscles grow during rest so your just constantly pounding them every day so there not getting a full chance to recover and build, no?
 
It would be stupid to try and keep that routine up, its amazing how things have changed since then. Maybe when your at the size of the guys that compete then it would be doable.

This is a routine by arnold btw when I see it I was re reading it thought I had missed the bit where it split it up.
 
lol im doing HST with half that amount of every other day and im completely wrecked atm in the middle of week 3 lol. That amount of training would make sure you never lifted to your potential and you wouldnt grow. If you wanna get that bodypart specific then do a 4 day split ie

Chest/tris
Back/Bi's
Legs/abs
Traps/shoulders

Much better idea imo on like mon/tues/thurs/sat or something
