Here’s a unique shot of Arnold backstage during his last competition, his comeback win at the 1980 Mr. Olympia. He’s got that Oak thickness that’s impressive even by today’s freak standards…
He had great genetics for sure, but his training made him the king…
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. It’s the anabolic bomb that makes every set exponentially better…
Arnold was also a fan of size-surging stretch exercises, like flyes for pecs and incline curls for biceps. Slow-mo reps can help ignite the mind-muscle connection as well…
For more info on all of the above, please 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 big-time)…

The Great “Magnesium Conspiracy”
If you’re on social media, which we all are, you’ve been hearing a lot about magnesium lately. The fact is, magnesium deficiency could be one of the greatest health conspiracies in history…
First, let’s be clear: Magnesium is THE single most studied mineral in existence. It powers over 300 critical, life-saving reactions in your body (including dozens of shockers mentioned here).
To date, thousands of studies have proven it to be beneficial for the heart, energy, metabolism, immunity, sleep, pain relief, and more.
The only two-time Nobel Prize winner, Linus Pauling, recommended daily supplementation of magnesium (at least 350mg per day). So do over 100,000 courageous doctors—including top MDs from Harvard.
BUT THERE’S A PROBLEM…
- Most fortified foods/products use SYNTHETIC (chemical-made), low-grade magnesium the body can’t absorb, AND…
- Most ONLY CONTAIN 1-3 forms of magnesium (at best); when the reality is your body needs ALL 7 FORMS OF MAGNESIUM
Given how much magnesium helps with stress, sleep, heart health, energy and more, it’s easily one of the most dangerous health hoaxes ever.
THE GOOD NEWS: there’s a miracle that occurs when your body gets ALL the magnesium that it needs, in all the forms that it needs, at the optimal dosage.
Just remember — if you’re *only* taking one form of magnesium — YOU ARE STILL DEFICIENT!
