Doug Hepburn Power Training Routine

I’ve finally come back from the dead. I have been busy on some side projects and the blog has suffered for it.

Everything is hunky dory now and I’ll be back posting every week.

Here is an old-school workout routine from the great Doug Hepburn. In case you don’t know, Hepburn was once the worlds strongest man and won the gold medal at the world championships in Stockholm in 1953.

Hepburn tried many different routines during his career and this was a power routine he was particularly fond of.

Doug Hepburn Power Training Routine

Monday/Thursday
Bench Press 1 x 3; 7 x 2
Curls 1 x 3; 7 x 2
Overhead Press 1 x 3; 7 x 2

Tuesday/Friday
Squats 6 sets of 6,5,4,4,4,3 reps
Rows 6 sets of 6,5,4,4,4,3 reps
Deadlifts 6 sets of 6,5,4,4,4,3 reps

Notes: Remember, Hepburn was a world champion. If this routine is too much for you, cut back to three days per week, alternating workouts and drop the sets down too if you want. As always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water. Train hard and heavy and you can’t go wrong.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
