Training
Chest Training
George said how his training regimen changed greatly over the years, particularly his chest training routine. He would train chest almost every day back when he started but soon realized that the key factor in gaining muscle is giving it enough time to recover.
When it comes to chest development, he believes that pecs are activated the most when trained with free weights and dumbbells, instead of barbells. Butler prefers dumbbells, because of the range of motion he can achieve, and also says how he feels a better contraction and pump afterward.
George also mentioned that anyone who has difficulties building the upper chest should incorporate a heavy form of incline presses, whether it’s with dumbbells, barbell or cables. Also, he mentioned how fatiguing the upper chest on incline presses first before going on to the flat bench helps overall development.
Training Philosophy
Training 5-6 times a week is something George prefers doing as he believes that training every day is detrimental for optimal muscle growth.
However, he also stresses the importance of “keeping your muscles busy” during the week and recommends a minimum 3-day split.
Favorite Exercises
George often shares videos of himself working out and doing different types of exercises, some of them being, behind the back barbell squats, leg press, incline dumbells press.
George’s favorite exercises he likes to train with often are cable pullover for back, lunges, hanging leg raises for abs and cable lateral raises for his middle deltoids.
“Don’t wish for it, work for it!”
