A few Zens ago, we mentioned Arnold’s ability to look shockingly massive or aesthetically sculpted. See the comparison photos…

Sure, genetics has a lot to do with it—his long limbs and full muscle bellies—but his training helped create that as well…

His multi-angular workouts contributed, but perhaps even more important was his total focus on the target muscle or muscles during a workout…

He emphasized the mind-muscle connection to get the most size stimulation on every set…

Focusing on “muscle feel” is extremely important. It’s the amplifier that makes every set a better anabolic/hypertrophic accelerator… 

Plus, you should integrate other hypertrophic accelerators like stretch exercises—flyes, for example, as Arnold did. Also, slow-mo reps to speed sets will keep your mass gains coming. 

NOTE: For more info on all of the above mass methods, please check out our expanded Quick-Start Muscle-Building Guide. The NEW 2.0 version has many of those mass tactics infused into complete slow-twitch-exhaustion at-home workouts in a big, updated section…

The workouts are tailored to build muscle in a bare-bones home gym with only moderate poundages—all you need is an adjustable bench and dumbbells (all we have is a bench and the 50-pound PowerBlock set, and it’s working for us big-time—we look forward to every workout)…

The “New” Perfect Physique

You’ve probably believed that women go crazy over huge muscles. You’ve probably even aspired to look like Arnold at some point.

The picture of the perfect physique seems to have changed over the years…

There were several years when it seemed women preferred a leaner and smaller physique like Brad Pitt’s in Fight Club.

Luckily, that seems to have just been a fad, and a more muscular look has become more desired again. Not pro bodybuilder big, but something in between with good muscularity and chiseled detail…

Alain Gonzales refers to it as the “Athletic-Aesthetic” physique, and women go wild over it.
