Harold Poole -- Best Teenage Bodybuilder of All-Time!
Harold Poole was undoubtedly the best teenage bodybuilder of all-time. He was also a phenomenal all-around athlete, winning his share of track and wrestling competitions. Harold had the classic lines that we all miss. He was like a '69 Camaro Z28 -- brutal power and elegant all at the same time. Here's Poole's workout routine back in 1962: - 3 Sets Barbell Press Behind Neck
- 6 Sets of Barbell Bench Press, Wide Grip
- 3 Sets of Barbell Rowing
- 3 Sets of Chins Behind Neck
- 3 Sets of Cheating Barbell Curl
- 5 Sets of Triceps Kickbacks
- 3 Sets of Front Squats
- 6 Sets of Donkey Calf Raises
- 1 Set of Sit-ups
As you can see, he was a natural athlete! He focused on chest and back and did very little leg and ab work. Because he was a track athlete, I guess he didn't need to!Here's to the best teenage bodybuilder of all-time!
