Arnold Schwarzenegger superset workout

Try our Atomic Testosterone Supplement or Atomic Pump Creatine, or even better use them both together for the Best Legal Muscle Building Stack

This routine will help you achieve a balanced physique. If you are a Beginner, Intermediate and/or Steroid-Free, decrease training volume, duration, and frequency. Arnold used steroids that helped him recuperate quicker and therefore train longer and more frequently!

Arnold also used this routine as a general guide but often made each workout unique by altering exercises, angles, tempo, weight, and reps. For instance, you can use a Barbell or Dumbbells for Bench Presses, the Wide-Grip Chin-Ups can be done to the front or back of your head, and many Barbell and Dumbbell exercises can be copied on Cable & Pulley or other Machines and also Sand Bags, Tires, Towels, Rubber-Tubing, and so on!

By mixing things up you really challenge your strength and endurance and the training variety helps keep you fresh and motivated!

"Experiencing this pain in my muscles and aching and going on and on is my challenge. The last three or four reps is what makes the muscles grow. This area of pain divides a champion from someone who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens. I have no fear of fainting. I do squats until I fall over and pass out. So what? It's not going to kill me. I wake up five minutes later and I'm OK. A lot of other athletes are afraid of this. So they don't pass out. They don't go on." - Arnold Schwarzenegger!
