Isaac Nesser Workout Routine



Isaac Nesser is 6 foot-tall, with a 74-inch chest and 29 inch arms, he is a barrel of a man who can bench-press 950 lbs. Isaac says he refuses to compete against athletes that take steroids. He says that breaking 1000lbs on a bench-press will not be done without taking steroids.

Isaac has developed a way of training which is certainly not recommended by strength coaches. It also needs to be added that the workout routine listed below training 7 days without taking a break, is not recommended. He says that his training routine/cycle will be 8 to 10 days without a break and then a 2 to 3 days' break.

He says the secret to developing strength depends on your own specific genetics. Discovering what works for you is going to come from a planned system of trial and error. Some systems will work better than others and his years of training have taught him that training a solid 8 days without stopping gets the best results.

Isaac explains that the incredible strength he has is because he started training when he was 8 years old and has never missed more than a week of training since then. He says his strength comes from 30 years of hard work training 6 to 7 days every week.

His workouts are intense and without doing a lot of volume he will train for up to four hours a day, allowing himself to fully recover after each set. He would usually workout every day doing a hard workout followed by a light workout. Although Isaac would normally train 8 to 10 days before taking two or three-day break, the routine listed below is an indication of what movements and reps he would do for 7 days straight.
