Arnold Schwarzenegger Workout
Arnold Schwarzenegger is without doubt the most popular and well-known bodybuilder in the world. After all, what other lifter is known worldwide by his first name? Arnold’s training was as big as the man himself. He cut no corners anywhere. Arnold would blow out a muscle group with several exercises, employing quite a few sets and repetitions per exercise. Arnold threw a ton of volume training at his muscles every time he darkened the door of a gym. And to make it burn, he used excellent form.What worked back then works just as well today. You can use Arnold’s training approach to pump up your muscles as well. Be advised - it is a stiff challenge. He worked so hard that he had to split his workouts into segments, and was arguably one of the first to use the double split training approach. Here is an Arnold workout you can work with:
