How to Gain 50 Pounds of Muscle Part 2:  Larry Scott’s Mass-Building Program      A few days ago, I posted PART 1 of this 3-part series based on an article by Gene Mozee in a ‘92 issue of IronMan .  I won’t get into many details of the original article itself, but, if you haven’t done so, I would encourage you to read Part 1 first before reading this one.  In fact, if you’re interested in actually doing the program presented here, I would also encourage you to try your hand at Arnold’s “Golden Six” before embarking on this routine.  Scott’s program (as we’ll see shortly) is very similar to Arnold’s, but with a couple more exercises, and several more sets of each exercise.  It makes the program below sort of the “intermediate” workout of the 3 programs presented in Mozee’s piece.      For anyone who doesn’t know, Scott was the first Mr. Olympia, having won the inaugural Mr. O competition in 1965.  After that, he defended the crown a second time in ‘66 before retiring at the very young
