arnold Schwarzenegger training routine

Arnold's chest/back routine consists of nine exercises-four for chest and four for back, followed by dumbbell pullovers, which is a combination exercise that works the lats while stretching the pecs. In total it's 45 working sets done with no rest during the supersets and only a minute or so between supersets, after which he would spend a few minutes forcefully flexing the muscle groups he had just trained.
From start to finish the workout takes about 45 minutes, and by the end of it the Austrian Oak would be drenched in sweat and gasping for air. Legend has it that Gold's Gym would keep an oxygen tank on hand to assist Arnold and his training partners in making it through such physically taxing workouts.
Clearly, the effort wasn't wasted; Arnold's chest would eventually stretch the tape to an improbable 57 inches, due in large part to pecs and a back that still rank among the best in bodybuilding history.
While following Arnold's chest-back routine may not give you a jacket size greater than the average woman's height, it should prove a grueling but effective way to add quality mass to your torso.
