Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger, "The Austrian Oak", was a bodybuilding prodigy who won the 1967 NABBA Amateur Mr. Universe title at the age of 20.

He went on to take the professional version of that championship in 1968, 1969 and 1970. Under the guidance and sponsorship of Joe Weider, he relocated to Santa Monica, California, in 1968 and within a year, became the most popular and charismatic bodybuilder in the sport. Arnold won the 1969 IFBB Mr. Universe and, in his IFBB Mr. Olympia debut that same year, placed second to Sergio Oliva, but Arnold never lost again.

He proceeded to dominate the IFBB Mr. Olympia with six consecutive wins, 1970 to 1975, before briefly retiring to pursue a film career. He was the focus of attention in the ground-breaking movie Pumping Iron, which documented the 1975 IFBB Mr. Olympia

Larry Scott, nicknamed "the Legend", born on October 12, 1938 in Blackfoot, Idaho is an American . Scott was the winner of the IFBB's Mr. Olympia title the first two years of the competition in 1965 and 1966. Scott went to the California Air College to study electronics and is known to be a devout Mormon. He is married to Rachel Ichikawa.

Even today Larry is in top shape and truly deserves his place as one of the true legends of Bodybuilding

Vintage superhero cartoons inspired many people when they were young. Even now many of bodybuilders

relate to superheroes like HULK, Spiderman , BATMAN and so on. Bodybuilders are still posing dressed in their favorite superheroes. Many of them have nicknames like Superman(Lee Priest) Frankinshtein(Paul Dillet) Predator ( Kai Greene) HULK(Lou Ferrigno) and many others. So lets remember old good times when we were inspired by our superheroes

Arnold Schwarzenegger Top Form Measurements

Arms 22 inches
Chest 57 inches
Waist 34 inches

Thighes 28.5 inches

Calves 20 inches

Weight 235 pounds

Height 6’2″

Arnold was from the old “No Pain No Gain” school of bodybuilding and his

routines consisted of high sets and reps, mostly not to failure. He trained

each muscle group three times each week (except calves, forearms & abs

which he trained every day), using a six day split routine.

There was very little rest between sets, and he usually increased weight each

and every set. Although he experimented with high reps at times, he usually

preferred a rep range of about 6 to 10.

The following is a typical Arnold routine, but be aware that Arnold’s routine

changed constantly. At times he trained twice a day, while at other times

once a day was enough. There were periods when he did lots supersets

and giant sets. Arnold tried every thing, and picked what worked best for

him at that particular time. By mixing things up he challenged his strength

and endurance and the training variety helped keep him fresh and motivated!

Remember this is a very advanced bodybuilding routine and should not be used

by beginners or intermediates, and even advanced bodybuilder’s should only

take what they think will work best for them and adapt it to their own

bodybuilding philosophy

CUTLER Says I go by feel. I don't really pay attention to how much weight I use or to doing specific increments. It all depends on how I feel on a particular day. I do generally stick to eight to 10 reps for all working sets. The key to biceps training is to make the weight feel heavier than it really is by contracting your

biceps throughout each set. I used to curl 225 and my shoulders were doing all the work. I think a cambered bar is better than a straight bar because it allows the movements to be a little more fluid and true.
