Apparently if Arnold has a dream about showing up somewhere in his underwear, it’s no problemo—just start posing.
This shot was taken in the locker room at Gold’s Gym back in the Oak’s heyday by Art Zeller. We’re not sure if Art was also in tighty whities.
A big shoutout to the gym photographers back then, like Art Zeller, Gene Mozee, and John Balik. Without them, we wouldn’t have those legendary shots at the original Gold’s Gym of Arnold, Franco, et al.…
Back to Arnold. Yes, he had great genetics for sure—check out the freakin’ limbs on The Oak—but it was his training that took his potential to legendary status…
We’ve mentioned how Arnold was a master at getting the mind-muscle connection. Sure, his workouts were fun, but when he was doing a set, it was all business—focus and fortitude…
Oh, and Arnold was a fan of size-surging stretch exercises, like incline curls for those mountainous biceps.
Those types of full-elongation-against-resistance moves can be excellent add-ons to the ideal mass-building exercises so you create additional layers of muscle, much like Arnold did…
For more on size-building stretch exercises and how to integrate them with the biomechanically ideal move for each muscle to accelerate hypertrophy, see Old Man, Young Muscle.
Till next time, train hard—and smart—for BIG results.
