Moment of Bodybuilding Zen 265: Arnold’s Posing Shoes?

When Arnold found out that women are drawn to a man with nice shoes, he always wore his best pair—along with mismatched socks to draw their attention to his stylish kicks.

You can see that Arnold was big but rather smooth in his younger days, pictured above in Australia.

He learned from a loss to a smaller, etched Frank Zane that it wasn’t all about size; he needed to be ripped to win in the high-level contests…

And ripped he got—at a bodyweight of around 230 pounds standing 6’2”…

Arnold’s spectacular physique transformation was a result of rigorous low-carb dieting and also multi-angle training. He knew that different exercises could affect his development in unique ways, making his physique more complete and detailed…

For example, his biceps training was often dumbbell curls, incline curls, and concentration curls—ideal + stretch + contracted, early inspiration for the Positions-of-Flexion mass-training approach (featured in the ebooks below).

Till next time, train hard—and smart—for BIG results.
