training with Arnold part 1

[SR4LosersIsMYBITCH]

Who is that benching at the end of the video???

[AIMANALI]

Ric if you train the stomach will it not make your stomach big ?

[ricdrasin]

MIlk is a waste and fattening as well. You really don't need it. Better off with low fat cottage cheese which is actually whey protein

[ilovethechallenge]

@ricdrasin why low fat cottage cheese? is it better than full cream cottage cheese.

[perunas80]

i am so fuckin jelous.....i´d love to live in the 70s in the USA and do my workouts with all that people you mentioned.

[ricdrasin]

@perunas80 I understand. I wish I could go back too. Enjoy your time now as it comes and goes very fast and you'll look back on these days with envy as well. make them count!!!

[PG574]

@ricdrasin

love your videos!

[lovyazid]

@perunas80 your not alone :D



[yoorheinez]

How many eggs was in the cheese omelette at Zuckys?

[pwalsh793]

i love hearing your stories about old time bodybuilding heroes like you and arnold,franco and zane and draper,mike kats and other great bodybuilders,thanks very much for sharing your stories and looking forward to hearing more.

[GroffinTiffin]

great video - entertaining & insightful. thanks.

[zeppelinfanjeff]

Thanks for sharing Ric! Your laid back style and motivational stories are definitely worthwhile....like many others I'm inspired by the 60's and 70's.....from music to bodybuilders to muscle cars. I'm in my 40's and relate to the nostalgia. Thanks bro!

[AIMANALI]

the INTENSITY was great I believe. that is the key I think. Right Ric ?

[Dayga]

As a high school student in LA from 66-70, I used to walk past the original Gold's Gym in Venice as I headed to the beach near Santa Monica pier during summer vacation. I remember the first time I saw Larry Scott large and it literally astonished me that a man could have arms that large and muscular. Often you'd see BB's at the outdoor weight pit working out together, and it seemed they all were very good natured and simply enjoying life. Ric's correct, the comraderie has vanished. It's a shame

[ricdrasin]

@Dayga Yep, it was a great time never to be duplicated

[AIMANALI]

@ricdrasin Ric can you please tell me how long did Arnolds average workout last when preparing for contest. 1 hour 2 hour etc ..was it 1.5 hours twice a day ?

[dinamiaesthetics]

@ricdrasin You didn't believe in milk? I use milk and brown rice. Is that bad?

[Beatzuout]

Your a liar, you weren't in pumping Iron, Arnold never talks about you in interviews or big events, and I don't see you in any videos in pictures with him, and why do put your self in Arnolds place and make it seem when you were like the center of attention? You make Arnold seem like the bad guy, you never lifted with him because if you did for 4. Years I'd know about you but I haven't until I saw this vid.

[ilovethechallenge]

@Beatzuout at the start of the video who is the other guy with arnold and ken waller?

[Lakaior]

@Beatzuout

Fail

[weightmate]

@Beatzuout lol there is a picture in the background with ric and arnold you idiot

[SR4LosersIsMYBITCH]

who is that benching with 6 plates on ea side??

[ricdrasin]

I knew that. I had a brain fart!! Lol

[harris1234100]

Ric , it was Arthur Jones that invented the Nautilus.

[Beatzuout]

Rick could you please! E-Mail me arnolds workout,the repsthe days, reps, which days that would be an Incredable thing for you to do Ty. Btw good vies

[conanfiles]

Ric,

Did you do breathing pullovers for the ribcage back then? Thanks, Brian

[catdaddy21870]

Ric,

Anyway you Could do a Video on Mike Mentzer?

He seems to have lead an interesting, mysterious life before he passed on.

Thanks

Khris Kaneff

[ricdrasin]

@catdaddy21870  i don't have enough info on him

[Yaqidh]

@ricdrasin I´ve communcated with him on the phone few times, he seems to be a down to earth gentleman. No ego whatsoever.

[georgerulez08]

how come you wasnt in the fillm/doc pumping iron ?

[balinmar]

ric did you guys worry about postworkout shakes or the whole 1 hour "window of opportunity" that is so highly relied on nowadays ???

[ricdrasin]

@balinmar No., we usually went to lunch then

[Crafter07]

Man i get inspired when i hear those stories! i wanna move to Miami or something and workout and run on beaches and have a blast ! :D

[pumping2]

Have i heard right your bench press was about 455 pounds for 2 reps by bodyweight of 218 pounds? That sounds great presentation concidering you were not power lifter.Was that weight usually use by most guys back then?

[ricdrasin]

@pumping2 I started training as a Powerlifter. It gave me a good base for bodybuilding. Back then not many did 400 lb benches Most trained with 225 to 300

[AN1MAL1STIC]

This is awesome. Training with Arnold would be pretty awesome. You are a lucky guy!!

[ricdrasin]

I would love to get into that but it is a touchy subject. However I probably will.. Lol

[stayinstacked]

Ric, I would like to see a video based on the pharmacology of the sport back then. Not who was doing what or anything in detail, but how many mg's/wk was an average cycle? Why are guys now so sloppy on Dbol but back then seemed to stay conditioned all year? Why was gyno so rare even though there was little knowledge of anti estrogens and Cyle therapy? I've heard the main ones were primo, dbol, deca, also how common was it to have test in a cycle? Were most cycles no test cycles? I love ur vids!

[lovesgibson]

what do you think is a better method for building muscle, a full body workout with basic exercises such as the squat, bench press, barbell rows, and deadlifts, or to do split body part workouts?

[ricdrasin]

@lovesgibson I;ve already said it in my videos. Split

[mehmz007]

Ric! These are great! I wish I trained back in the 70's, bodybuilding has totally changed. My goal is to get to Arnold's stats and your videos and insight experience is great and fun to watch. Keep up the great work!

[shinyb1]

hi ric , good info videos . i was wondering if you have any stories on frank richards , i am his nephew and frank is training and is back in excellent shape for 64 years lol .he has told me stories from the past and it sounded like you had an awsome time - it would be good to here from someone like your self , cheers james

[Cuyut982]

"I'll touch on different body parts as well." 0:42

[sherwinan]

Cool stories. But did you have a job? How did you all afford to live by the beach, train in the gym all day, hang out by the pool, eat at restaurants, etc? Did you make a living out of bodybuilding?

[zeppafloyd]

Ric, nautilus was invented by Arthur Jones. Love the talks about the 70's bodybuilding. thanks for posting this stuff.

[RadenMan]

I can hear that you get really emotional when you talk about that time. You must really had a great great life back then. Thanks for sharing and please let us hear more of these stories. :)

[lonemapper]

Love the stories of golden era bodybuilding!! Can't wait for more!!!

[theplastickid]

Awesome videos ric. Keep them coming!

[Naturalhit]

Nice. Glad to hear you talk about the golden era of bodybuilding.

[RobertForbes]

Superb. Look forward to hearing more.

[spritz0]

EXCELLENT Rick, I wish you eventually tell gym stories about Franco Columbu, Kent Keuhn, Mike Mentzer, Kenny Waller, etc.... this is the most PRICELESS information on YouTube as this is the "real stuff" from you, much appreciated my friend!!! 5*****

[funk51]

[deshongg12]
