What was John Grimek's arm training routine?
John Grimek was from an earlier era of bodybuilding, finishing his career at the Big Arm era just began. He was a pioneer in many ways. He was both a strong man and a bodybuilder, working hard on both areas.
Grimek did a wide range of training that included many exercises that have disappeared from the world of weightlifting. He did build a pair of impressive arms, even though he was rumored to have hated curl exercises. However, he was very strong when it came to curling. Before a Mr. Universe contest he pumped out some curls with 190 pounds – a feat that few today can accomplish.
Grimek was also known to have used a curl and press movement with dumbbells, an exercise that worked the biceps, shoulders and triceps in the process.
Grimek worked his entire body in a single session. However, if he wanted to focus on the arms and give them extra work, he would single out the arms and perform a few extra sets on the arms at the end of the workout.
Grimek was a pioneer of the pyramid as well. He would start with a weight where he could perform 15-20 repetitions, complete that set, add weight, and perform the next set at 12 repetitions, then repeat for 10, 8 and fewer repetitions as he raised the weight load each time.
In yet another area of being a pioneer of physique building, Grimek didn't always stick with the same stuff. He consistently varied the exercises and angles the exercises were performed at to task the body with a new challenge for each workout.
