The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding: The Bible of Bodybuilding, Fully Updated and Revised

Product Information

The Arnold workout split is an advanced routine suitable for late intermediate and advanced lifters who want to gain muscle as fast as humanly possible. Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t follow the same workout split for his entire bodybuilding career. Rather, it evolved over time as he learned what worked best for him and his body. I think a mix of bodyweight and weightlifting offers the best result for the average male. This way the body muscle groups grow in proportion to each other so that you don't look like a washed-out steroid junkie. From elite bodybuilding competitors to gymnasts, from golfers to fitness gurus, anyone who works out with weights must own this book -- a book that only Arnold Schwarzenegger could write, a book that has earned its reputation as "the bible of bodybuilding."

Then I’ll lay out the routine in full, so you can see which exercises you’ll be doing on which days, as well as how many sets and reps to do. Using this training system, you plan your three-times-a-week body part sessions so that the first is intense, with relatively high reps and sets, but you don’t use the heaviest weights possible. You increase the weight for the second session, but still stay short of going all out. For your third workout, however, you go very heavy, keeping your reps down to four to six maximum per set.”The bro split typically refers to a training schedule that involves training 5-6 times a week, with the major muscle groups being worked directly just once a week.
