Old school training for hours on end?

[Kayecn]

Was looking at some videos online and the guys were talking about how things were so different back in the day. and how back then guys actually work for it when guys today want everything handed to them
curious what your views are on this. one guy was saying that in the seventies guys like Arnold and others would train three four hours a day no problem
Also heard guys like Dallas McCarver used to train for 5 hours a day

I think there is a reason guys like Dallas diet, over training its true. on the heart its bad to do that.

we have come a long way with nutrition and training . people who say dumb shit like "things were so much better back in the day" are annoying as fuck. and if they claimed that they trained 4 hours a day they are full of shit cause it means they spent the whole time socializing and chasing tail.

the proper way to do it is go to the gym and handle your business and get out. you won't see me spend more than 45 minutes weight training in the gym

I own 2 gyms and can say the guys now are far ahead where they were 20 or 30 years ago and its not even close
