Serge Nubret:
"I train one body part a session and altogeher i train three times a day. I give one body part all I've got for about 30 sets. I like to train a body part of 45 minutes, and when that area is fully bloated with blood i take a break for one whole hour. After that I return to the gym to work another body part. Usually I train twice in the morning. I take a third workout in the evening".
"I use weights that allow me a certain number of repetitions, all done in perfect style. For example, I do 12 to 15 reps and up to 30 sets of bench presses (not a typo), each done in strict fasion."
"I do NOT rest between sets. If you try to use very heavy weights each set, you are forced to train in a sloppy fasion. The only thing on your mind when you are attempting an exercise with a heavy weiht is that somehow you have to get it up. You cannot fully concentrate on the effect on the muscle you hope to build."
Watching Nubret perform his exercises, it is amlmost as if there were no weight in his hands. He seems to tense the muscles throughout an exercise, seldom relaxin that tension unti a set has been competed. Not surprisingly, he claims to feel a burning sensation in the area being traained. Nubret's way of performing his exercises tends to promote a very fast pump that lasts for hours.
Altogether he trains 6 days per week, 3 times a day. But Nubret's arms are trained just 20 minutes per workout, two sessions weekly. As he puts it, his biceps are triceps are as good as they'll ever get. Consequently, they only require a minimum amount of training, for which he often does supersets.
