Arnold’s 1974 Mr. Olympia Chest & Back Workout

Arnold Schwarzenegger cut the range of motion on his bench presses one-quarter of the way from lockout in order to keep tension on his pecs. On wide-grip pullups, however, he lowered his body until he felt a deep stretch in his lats, which activates them better. Arnold used this routine on Mondays and Thursdays.

Arnold Schwarzenegger used this routine twice a week to build a powerful core.
