5 Things We Can Learn From Arnold About Building Muscle

5-things-we-can-learn-from-arnold-about-building-muscle

Here's what you need to know...

  1. The muscle pump isn't just cosmetic. It contributes to muscle growth. Use multiple sets of moderate to high reps to engorge your muscles with blood.
  2. Develop a strong mind-muscle connection to recruit more muscle fibers.
  3. Visualize the muscles you're training, and between sets envision yourself doing your next lift. Use your mind to build your body.
  4. Posing isn't just for those on stage. It can help you maximally contract muscles and produce more force during lifts.
  5. Pick a power move and go heavy with lower reps on occasion. Building size doesn't mean neglecting strength. Arnold powerlifted.
  6. Single Bicep Pose
    He'd pose alone and he'd pose with his peers at Gold's Gym Venice. Hell, in Pumping Iron, he even posed with Franco in the shower! He'd spend hours hitting poses for every major muscle from every possible angle, sometimes to the point of exhaustion.
