JUNE 2016 MUSCLE & FITNESS 53ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER’S MOST
IMPORTANT WORKOUT TIPS FROM A–Z
■You probably figure that you mastered the ABCs of bodybuilding
during your first month in a gym. But what about the Ds and Es
and even the Qs and Zs? Get out your notepad and No. 2 pencil.
What follows is an alphabetical training primer from the legendary
Arnold Schwarzenegger. It begins with fundamentals – A (abs),
B (biceps), C (calves) – but the seven-time Mr Olympia adds his
unique take on each. This guide, true to Arnold himself, will veer
far off beaten paths when the Austrian Oak serves up unexpected
workout concepts like hypnosis, visualisation and sweating it out
in the altogether. Even the 13th Mr O, Phil Heath, could learn from
this lexicon as Mr O No. 3 reveals the secrets that made him,
arguably, the greatest bodybuilder of all-time. Everyone should
take notes as Arnold dishes out his A to Z workout advice.
