How to become Rambo [Part I]

  • Coaching sessions by Franco Columbu the man who choached Sylvester Stallone for his Rambo character.
    In part I the exercises for the triceps, biceps, forearms and the chest are shown.
    "With Sly, I worked out a program that was right for him," Franco explains, "and then I led the way, constantly increasing weights and reps. I knew for sure that this would motivate him to try and keep up with me. If I took a weight and did 12 reps, Sly would have to try and do at least seven. After all, I may be stronger than he is, but not that much stronger. Then, next set, I would do 15 reps, so he would have to increase his reps to at least 10. By the end of our training, he was doing curls with 70- pound dumb-bells. You should have seen how strong he got!"
    Franco worked out a program for Stallone based on a two day double split:
    Monday/Wednesday/Friday
    Morning: Chest, back, abs
    Afternoon: Shoulders, arms, abs
    Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday
    Morning: Calves, thighs
    Afternoon: Rear delts, traps, abs
