Sylvester Stallone Work Out
Rocky IV - 6-week Intensive Bodybuilding Program
This Sylvester Stallone work out is not for the faint of heart. It's advanced and it's not easy. If you push yourself hard this workout will pack on slabs of muscle onto your body like you will not beleive! This is a workout we've had for a long time. We got it from a muscle magazine nearly two decades ago (yeah, that's how far back we go) that is one of those good old school workouts that make men even more manly. We love it and our staff and contributing writers have all done it at some point. Once again, only for those who have been doing bodybuilding for a few years now. Don't think if you're a beginner that you can jump right in and do a workout like this. If you do, your body will punish you and rebel against you.
Remember, this Sylvester Stallone work out is the one that got him in, what is arguably, the best shape of his life. Many agree that his physique in Rocky IV was the pinnacle of his bodybuilding glory days. When you do this workout, eat well and rest plenty! It's absolutely paramount that you get enough rest to allow for proper muscle recovery and rebuilding as well as to make sure that you are eating to build muscle mass. Only this way will you survive the entire 6 weeks of this Sylvester Stallone work out and achieve results!
Workout Overview:- Goal:
- This is one of those high-intensity bodybuilding programs to do if you need to get quality muscle in the shortest amount of time. For those who want to acheive thickness, definition and separation of muscles in a short 6-week period
- Muscles worked:
- full body
- Days per week:
- 5 - with morning and evening workout sessions. Obviously you will need a very flexible schedule for this workout. I have done it before and if you follow through it does yeild results fast but it's brutal after week 2.
Supplements Needed:- Pre and post workout whey protein with some glutamine mixed into your shake(s)
- Animal pack stacked with Animal M stack or another Animal pack
- ZMA just before bedtime for good sleep, muscle recovery and natural testosterone boost.
Weight Training Acessories Used:- Good weightlifting gloves. By good we mean tough ones. Go for the ones that are mesh on top or have some other form of open design on the top side. They will give your hands more air and won't make them sweat as much as closed-type designed ones do.
- Wrist-straps. So many kinds out there. Go for the ones that are soft on the skin and have some sort of minimal padding. The ones that are really tough can be really taxing on the skin around your wrists and even worse if you have hair.
- Weight belt. Old school leather ones are best.
- Strong weight training shoes. Don't use running shoes - they just aren't made for bodybuilding.
