It was no secret that bodybuilders in the Golden Era favored low-carb diets, which could be constipating. The Weider Bowel Masseuse that Arnold is using here helped by gently compressing the abdomen to kick-start peristalsis…
Seriously, that’s the Weider Arm Blaster, which could also be used for curls and triceps pushdowns to limit cheating—and by design it probably did help in the BM department, not to mention Weider’s bank account…
It’s interesting that one of Arnold’s favorite biceps routines helped Steve shape the Positions-of-Flexion mass-training method (see the OMYM ebook). POF hits each muscle from three distinct angles, or positions—midrange, stretch, and contracted…
Of course, The Oak had incredible genetics for many muscles groups, especially biceps. Here’s the cover of his Education of a Bodybuilder book, photo taken by former Iron Man magazine publisher John Balik, who made a whopping $50 for that pic…
Damn, that biceps is unreal…
And of course, Arnold is still at it today at age 75; however, he now uses a more abbreviated program, his workouts lasting only about half an hour, and he begins each muscle with a high-rep set. Nice—very similar to the STX method used in Old Man, Young Muscle…
Note: For more on POF, STX, Speed Sets and ideal-exercise emphasized workouts for efficient, safe mass-building, see Old Man, Young Muscle.
Till next time, train hard—and smart—for BIG results.
