Here’s a unique shot of Arnold wowing a female reporter. This exemplifies one reason so many of us lift—to roll back our sleeve and flex a massively peaked biceps…
Arnold looked big in clothes, but when he hit an arm shot, holy crap! Yes, he had great genetics for sure, but his training took his potential to legendary status…
We’ve talked about his multi-angular workouts before, which he did from the beginning, but perhaps even more important was his focus and feel in the gym…
Focusing on the mind-muscle connection—feeling the target muscle work—is extremely important. Remember the scene in “Pumping Iron” when he was doing concentration curls? Control and muscle squeeze…
That mind-muscle link is the anabolic bomb that makes every set exponentially better…
Arnold was also a fan of size-surging stretch exercises, like incline curls for those mountainous biceps. Slow-mo reps can help ignite the mind-muscle connection as well…
For more info on all of the above, check out our expanded Quick-Start Muscle-Building Guide. The NEW 2.0 version explains many of those mind-muscle mass tactics and infuses them into complete slow-twitch-exhaustion workouts in a big, updated section…
Many of the new added 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 great for us)…
