Panic ensues at the Fruit of the Loom fashion show when someone sets the thermostat to 45 degrees.
This is actually a backstage shot of Franco Columbu, Arnold, Frank Zane, and Lou Ferrigno at the 1974 Mr. Olympia. No muscle “shrinkage” in sight…
Arnold won the overall for his fifth consecutive title, receiving a check for a whopping $1,000…
Lou was bigger than Arnold. He was 6’5” and outweighed the Oak by 30 pounds. So how did Arnold beat him?
Lou was young, so he wasn’t nearly as confident (see “Pumping Iron” and Lou’s browbeating dad). Plus, Arnold’s physique was more refined and densely muscled…
His winning physique was a result of rigorous low-carb dieting along with multi-angle training…
One thing that he realized is that different exercises could affect his development in unique ways, making his physique more complete and detailed (variation in fiber recruitment)…
For example, his biceps training was often dumbbell curls, incline curls, and concentration curls—ideal + stretch + contracted, early inspiration for the efficient Positions-of-Flexion mass-training approach (explained and outlined in the ebooks below).
Till next time, train hard—and smart—for BIG results.
