Some extra volume on legs, as knee problems doesn't allow him to go really heavy (well, relatively speaking). We have a "special" setup for his contest prep - some secrets need to be kept that way Still adjusting, though - he can't handle massive carbloads very well.
He will currently be doing an abbreviated routine due to a busy time schedule.
3 times per week fullbody:
3 sets bench press
3 sets shoulder press
3 sets squats
3 sets deadlifts
2 sets barbell curls
3 sets chin ups

This thread is a few years old, but that's not the point. Also, here's some of the weights he pushed back in 2003:
