What Type of Weight Training should I follow?
Okay, so I’m 5′ 9.5″, 140 lbs. I guess I would consider myself an ectomorph, but I don’t know if I’m really a hardgainer. I mean, when I do exercises like dumbell curls, dumbell lateral raises, etc., all the so-called isolation exercises for bodybuilding, I do gain muscle. Even after doing weight training only once a week, I can notice differences in muscle size and tone. I can also notice that when I haven’t trained in a while, the tone and size is lost. So, I don’t think I am really a hardgainer. Well, I am planning on regularly doing weight training now, so I was wondering whether I would see better results following one of those specially-made ectomorph workouts for skinny guys, or if I could follow the routines such as those in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s encyclopedia. I am aiming for large muscle mass, by the way. oh and i’m 14 by the way, and haven’t taken any supplements like whey protein and such

Did Arnold Schwarzenegger follow a Reg Park type bodybuilding routine as a beginner?
I’m looking for any information specific to the type of workouts Arnold Schwarzenegger followed from age 15-17. Obviously the beginner program laid out in his Encyclopedia is vastly different from what he actually followed during his formative bodybuilding years. I know that Reg Park was a major inspirational figure for him, so it’s likely he followed something similar to what Reg would have endorsed in bodybuilding magazines of the day.21
