Second...you don't need to put in "hours" at the gym. As a matter of fact that is counterproductive.

To get ripped like Stallone, you would need an hour to an hour and a half 5 days a week working ONE body part per day. It's not that big of a deal to do.

If you put in "hours" in the gym every day..your body would go catabolic and star eating the muscle. Generally I personally do about 45 minutes to an hour. But I don't chit chat in the gym or waste any time. I do one body part per day. 5 exercises per body part, 3 sets of 8 reps each. I don't do cardio (I am a "hard gainer") so I cut off 30 minutes of time right there.

Anyway, Stallone isn't using a bunch of time up out of his day. And I'll bet that on average his days are MUCH more busy and filled than mine or yours or anybody on GFY. The guy is a multimillion dollar business into himself with a thousand projects and investments going on. Why anybody who runs a business would think that a guy like Stallone just lounges around all day and then spends "hours" in the gym because of all his free time is baffling to me.
I think one bodypart a day is sometimes not enough. I try to get in each body part twice a week and there are only 7 days in a week so you have to do 2 body parts a few times a week. I'm up to 315 on the bench and nearly 400 on the squats though
