Mike O'Hearn's Power Bodybuilding
12 Week Training Program

You'll have to excuse me for thinking I'm a superhero. But I rip it up in the gym, and have for years. I destroy the weights. It's not the other way around.

People have often wondered: How could Mike O'Hearn have THAT physique - the one that's been on more fitness magazine covers than any man in history - and be THAT strong?

Here's how:

Your Mission From Mike O'Hearn

The answer lies in my Power Bodybuilding workouts, a program outlined here for the first time ever. The foundation is the three crazy-ass, heavier-than-hell power-lifts: bench press, deadlift, and squat. Those are surrounded by bodybuilding moves. The result is a body that's not only show-and-go but also show-and-dominate, superhero style.

Twelve weeks. That's all I ask for. In return, bodybuilders will receive more muscle than ever, strength athletes will receive more power than ever, and athletes will receive all of the above.

But all of you must prepare to go heavy, heavy, heavy. We're talking superhero heavy. Got it?

Don't be me. Be better than me.

Signed,
Superman

You've got 5 workouts, once each day, along with cardio depending on where you are in the program, then you get two days off.

Sounds fun, doesn't it?? and you get two days of rest at the end to boot

I think the main compound lifts would probably give nice growth all over? I'd probably wanna add in the overhead press in one of the days.

What do I know though?
I only do squats, deadlifts, overheadpress and flat bench and my arms look pretty big considering I don't do any curls or gay **** like that.

I don't really lift to get massive though, I just like it.

4 weeks in, pretty much doubled my strength with the powerlifting already. This program is awesome. Follow the diet and hit the cardio, you'll be cut and rock hard in no time. I believe it! AWESOME PROGRAM!

Training has never been a problem, how do you incorporate a solid nutrition, and supplement routine when eating isn't convenient.

Mike, I know you don't like people deviating from the exact program you've provided, but instead of jogging on a treadmill, can the cardio be done on a mountain bike? Would it yield the same results?
Furthermore, I have everything I need at home except the leg press machine, if there isn't anything else I'll have to hit the gym, but what could be a substitute to the leg press, nothing?

I've tried everything, and i can't seem to gain any muscle/weight, is there any tips you can give me at to what to take, and what workout to do? I'm a track and field runner, i'm always running, maybe that's why.. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate.
Thx in advance
