Reg Park's 1951 Mr. Universe Workout
This is the same workout that Reg Park trained with to win the 1951 Mr. Universe title. He won Mr. Universe again in 1958, becoming the first to win the prestigious event twice. Park, who later went on to replace Steve Reeves as Hercules in the mid sixties, gained 25 pounds of muscle on an already solid frame in 10 months with this program.

Reg trained three days a week on this routine. He ate 3-4 meals per day and had a protein drink that was made up of milk, cream and honey, which he drank six times a day. Proof that you don't need to buy high-priced supplements.

Reg Park's 1951 Mr. Universe Workout
Grab any photo of Reg Park and you'll see what can be done with hard work and determination. Remember, Park was a pre-steroid bodybuilder, all natural. And to me he looks a lot good and more considerable than the drug induced bodybuilders of today.

Notes: There was no rep project for his abs and calves, he'd work them until they had enough. Park, like all the old timers, lifted heavy weights and didn't use many isolation exercises in his routine. If you decree to ensue this agenda and feel wiped out on three days a week, knock it down to two. Park had exceptional genetics and salvage capability that most don't have.
Understand that to be flourishing in any weight training agenda - hard work is a must! Half-hearted attempt does nothing for you. If you're new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a doctor first and get on a beginners program. End of disclaimer.
