Arnold Schwarzenegger's Secret Training Methods

Arnold used muscle shocking methods "training with more w eight
than usual, doing more reps and/or sets, speeding up your
training (lifting becomes more forceful as a result), decreasing
the rest between sets, doing unfamiliar exercises, doing your
exercises in an unfamiliar order or using intensity techniques".
Try the methods below to shock you muscles into new growth.

Running The Rack

Training right in front of the dumbbell rack and is one of
Arnold's favorite ways to train with dumbbells to shock the muscles.
Do an exercise with a set of dumbbells, put them down, immediately
pick up the next heavier set of dumbbells and when you have reached
heaviest dumbbells you can handle you then work your way back down
the dumbbell rack.

I Go, You Go

Perform a set and right away hand the barbell to your training
partner. He then tries to beat your reps. Then, he hands it back
to you, and the process continues until you're both doing only
singles.

Drop Sets

Taking plates off the bar during the set as your muscles fatigue.
E.g.. bench press with 225 lbs. For 4-5 reps. As you fatigue at
rep 5 have your partners quickly take plates off the bar - so
that there's 200 lbs - And you can now do more reps.

Isotension

Flexing and contracting the muscles being worked between sets.
Flexing is a beneficial in hardening, separating and defining
each muscle group.

Mega Exercise Blitz

Instead of doing five sets of one exercise for a muscle, do one
set of just about every exercise you know for that muscle. For
example, do one set of standing barbell curls, then incline curls,
dumbbell curls, preacher curls, cable curls and, finally,
concentration curls.

Supersets

Arnold often employed opposite muscle grouping sets (biceps with
triceps, chest with back, etc.) to force as much blood as humanly
possible a target area for superior growth.
