I like reading about different diets. I'm just curious how much those f*ckers ate spending that many hours in the gym, and still probably being on very low doses of steroids compared to todays BB pro's. Either they ate very very often, or they just worked out in the gym for a couple of hour, ate, slept and did it all again getting something like 15 hours sleep each night.

Good info hajjdo
That info on Frank Zane's seminar was a good read. I am interested in how the 70's (and 80's) bodybuilders trained...interesting how Zane worked up to a weight then tried to maintain that strength level while decreasing the rest time between sets...I always thought that 70's bbders simply performed high rep low weight exercises near contest time...in many pics of Arnold training have he is relatively low weights...and those pics were probably taken when he was in contest condition. Zanes has been described as be one of the most intelligent and scientific trainers, and his points of view on vitamins and sugar intake are interesting.
Johnny fuller, I have read, trained heavy as he could in the 20-30 rep range ....Serge Nubret only worked triceps near contest time, and relied on bench press for chest development and tricep development, and took winters off training, (Robert Kennedy, 'Beef it') but how he ate remains a mystery.
One thing hasnt changed...bulking back then was the same as now...eat eat keep training to basic movements and dont train too often ...I had an old 1960's weider booklet that outlined such routines.

Serge Nubret once wrote that he ate one 16 ounce steak per day for his contest diet. He woke up and trained in the morning, went home napped, ate the steak went for a walk (I think he had dogs he took to the park) went back to the gym at night and trained again. No food afterwards until the next day.
