Mike O'Hearn Natural Bodybuilding Workout
Mike O'Hearn is a competitive bodybuilder and a model that has been featured on the cover of well-over 500 magazines and voted by the readers as the Fitness Model of the Year on several occasions. Mike is also known as "Titan" to his many fans across the world because that was his name in the Gladiator movies.
Mike has proven himself to be steroid-free by winning the Mr. Natural Universe 4 times and is also the only gladiator to be in both the 1989-96 gladiator series as well as the 2008 series. Mike is also the founder of a training program called Power Bodybuilding to develop strength and hypertrophy, with aesthetics.
His Power Bodybuilding program is very specific and the body-parts he trains look like this on a weekly basis:
Monday: Chest, Cardio, and then Abs
Tuesday: Legs, Cardio, and then Abs
Wednesday: Shoulders, Cardio, and then Abs
Thursday: Arms, Cardio, and then Abs
Friday: Back, Cardio, and then Abs
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Off
Like any good natural bodybuilder knows, the only way to keep your muscles growing is to cycle your workouts. Mike splits his cycle as listed below. It should be noted that he never trains to the point of failure, or beyond failure. His core strength building lifts are Incline Press, Squats and Deadlifts. Below is the percentage of his maximum weight that he uses in a 12 week cycle.
Weeks 1-4: 70%: 5 X 4 reps
Weeks 5-8: 80%: 5 X 3 reps
Weeks 9-12: 90%: 5 X 2 reps
His rep scheme for any secondary work does not change. Mike cycles everything, including his cardio work.
