Freddy Ortiz had one of the best upper bodies of his time, without fancy cardio machines & “necessary” bodybuilding supplements which are widely used in the 21st century. He claims he always had the same workout plan and he never changed it throughout all those years, with training frequency of three to four times per week.
One of his regular exercises was the Jefferson deadlift, which is shown in the picture below.
Old school exercises are clearly very effective and if you want to learn more about them, be sure to check out the Arthur Saxon Power Pack.
