Product Information

Next Arnold goes through a basic training routine and some intensity boosting techniques like super-setting, forced reps, and slow negatives.

Distributing your weekly training volume across 5 or 6 workouts, rather than 3 or 4, allows for shorter training sessions, making them easier to fit into your day. I think to fully enjo Personally, I like to exercise every day. It helps to clear my head, makes me more productive, and leaves me feeling a whole lot better. Then I’ll lay out the routine in full, so you can see which exercises you’ll be doing on which days, as well as how many sets and reps to do. Someone weighing 180 pounds, for instance, would aim for a daily protein intake of around 126 grams of protein per day (180 x 0.7 = 126). If you prefer metric, multiply your bodyweight in kilograms by 1.6.Growing up, my dad was a powerlifter (like a body builder but focused on raw lifting power as opposed to sculpting the body into a perfectly symmetric form) so I pulled down his copy of Arnold's tome and poured over it. In college, I used it as a reference while lifting weights and now, years later, I have the revised edition on my bookshelf and refreshed my knowledge before I started lifting again this year. Fitschen also includes information on how to handle the offseason’s physical and emotional aspects, which is not something that’s often discussed in other bodybuilding books. You can expect identical results in terms of lower body gains, as both programs involve training the legs twice a week, on separate days to the upper body. NOTE: Although adding weight is one way to increase the amount of work your muscles do, adding reps is also a viable option. You’ll gain more strength with low reps and heavier weights. But if it’s more mass that you’re after, research shows similar gains in muscle size across a wide spectrum of loads, ranging from light to medium to heavy. In fact, the biceps were, on average, 17% weaker the day after the run. That’s despite the fact that the biceps are not heavily involved in downhill running.

NOTE: These days, this type of approach to training is known as daily undulating periodization, or DUP for short. Oftentimes I’ll go for an easy ride on my bike, with my heart rate floating around 60 percent or so of its maximum. It’s split into three sections, which make it easy to read and navigate, and features over 60 photos that illustrate the body types of each division as well as mandatory poses.The term “Arnold Split” refers to the way the workout schedule is set up (which muscle groups are trained with which other muscle groups, and how often those muscle groups are trained), rather than the specific exercises, sets and reps.
