According to a biography I have of him he was able to add or drop 10 lbs in a week or so pretty much at will. If you know anything about the history of the man you know that he started lifting at a very young age. My own experience lifting since age 13 as well as time spent dabbling in martial arts has convinced me that early life athletic developments tend to stick with you. He may be in his 60's and he may even be getting clinical hormone treatments, but I don't think he's on anything serious. He has political ambitions, why risk it? For what? He's not competing in the master's Olympia. Don't discount the fact that on top of his natural talent he is a seven-time Mr. Olympia, has over four decades of experience training his own physique (do you?), and is a very driven and accomplishment-oriented man. Perhaps he got the help of a surgeon to slim him down or give him a tuck here or there. Big deal. Plastic surgery do not muscles make. I've got a simple plan that will make anyone huge. Can you dig it? Its intense man. So intense not even Muscle & Fitness, not even Iron Man, not even Muscular Development dare publish it. Only the hardcore of the hardcore can pull it off. Are you ready? Think you can handle it? Here it is:
Starting now, commit the next 20 years of your life to bodybuilding.
That may be difficult to comprehend. So, let me take a few pages from Arnold's life to give you an example:
Think bodybuilding when you're eating, when you're sleeping, when you're making love to your wife, when your boss threatens to fire you. When a family member dies say you can't make the funeral because you've got a contest to train for. When you can't make enough for rent because you spend most of your time training ask a guy at the gym if you can sleep in his garage. When people call you conceited or self-involved just drown it out, you don't need that kind of negativity: today is chest day. Learn every skeletal muscle. Study every lift and how you respond to it. Eat. Even when you're full. Train. Even when you don't feel like it. Let go of everything else you want for the next 20 years and just lift weights.
If you don't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger its not because you don't take enough primo or hGH. Its not because you didn't have state-of-the-art facilities or a personal trainer. It has little if nothing to do with these things. The reason is so simple, so glaringly obvious that you likely overlooked it:
You're not Arnold Schwarzenegger.
A man doesn't move to a foreign nation with no comprehension of the language, with no education, with only a duffel bag and then go on to be a seven-time Mr. Olympia, make a fortune in real estate, become one of the highest paid stars in Hollywood, marry a Kennedy, and then wind up as the governor of California all because of genetics. He does have something you don't - you're right about that, but its not found in a syringe or a blister pack. If you want to know what it is then get Arnold's address and ask him. I doubt he will hide it from you.</div>
Quantum...I am not trying to disagree with you here so bare with me
But two things are for sure.
Arnold has and had a great physique.
And too the majority of his ideas and training routines were horrible and full of insane amounts of volume and overtraining.
I respect arnold physique and bodybuilder...but he would be one LOUSY...personal trainer IMO.
I say this b/c I have his book Encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding....and I too trained just like him for over two year.
I ate tons of the perfect food and did his routines for all muscle group 25 + sets for large muscle 15 to 20 for small muscles.
One thing I found out...unless I was going to juice it up then it wouldn't work for me.
