I've put Arnie's bodyweight workout plan into a printable PDF for you here: fitnessfreedomathletes.com/arnies-body-weight-workout-plan/ So you can download it and follow the workout for yourself. A little different from my usual suspension trainer focused vid. But I stumbled Arnie's bodyweight workout on Reddit, that he posted during the Pandemic. Although it's old, I thought the simplicity and his focus on perfect form was so good, that I wanted to break it down and see what we could learn. Hope you find it as insightful as I did.
I read Arnold's first book and he always lifted weights..the pictures you show is a demonstration of a home workout without weights which we all have done,thats all..But yes to be honest anyone can build great body without weights if they know what they are doing..
Prisoners do a lot of partial reps with high volume and build impressive physiques.They say it concentrates the movement on the given muscle without spreading the load out onto accessory ones.
Even a variety of plank work builds muscle as well other isometric movements build muscle...i have been working out over 55 years...form can vary immensely, mind muscle connection,time under tension and enough intensity grows muscle...
I like to do 100 Push Ups,100 Pull Ups and 100 Bulgarian split squats 3 times per week. Insane pump. Its not many things one need to get a great workout. Couple of chairs to do Dips and a backpack with extra weights to make it heavy, endless exercises. ✅😎💪💪
Exercise #3...he showing that method because most folks would not have a chin up bar at home, and most folks could not do many reps. The pole with chairs allows people to do more reps.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but those first pictures were after he retired the first time because he was more muscular when he came first came to America. Even so, this is incredibly educational and thank you.
Steve Reeves was great. And jack la lanne used books and chairs also. In old and besides Arnold these are my idols in fitness. I remember I. School achieving presidential fitness award because Arnold was sponsoring it. Lol I'm old
I have this book by him in which these photos are from. It is called "Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder." The book is mostly of his early life and competition days, but it does give an introductory course on bodyweight exercises, and the section after goes into weights. It's a solid routine.
Arnie started steroids at 15. Mr universe at 20. Mr Olympia at 23. No one has managed to be Mr universe at 20 still a record today. He took more steroids than anyone else in his day which is nothing compared to today's bodybuilders thus they drop dead younger n younger. Boxers do body weight exercises,yes they have good natural physiques but not like Ofcourse he used weights in Austria as a 14 year old. You are not going to get 58" chest 21" arms without taking loads of steroids.
My father was a powerlifter, not a bodybuilder by any means whatsoever. But him at his largest, had a 60 inch chest, with 23.5 inch arms, at 6’1. My father was huge and well know here in the New York area. Guys used to come to the gym just to try and train with my father. And he never took a steroid in his life. Just great genetics, lots of chicken and potatoes, and hard training. So it is possible, maybe not at 10 percent body fat like Arnold however.

Great video.
I love that you went to all the trouble to produce a pdf and are providing it free of charge. Amazing.
Pleasure Jim, nice little workout to throw in and mix up with your suspension training!

Just trained with weights in general. It dont have to be with dumbell or barbell even weighted calinesthics can suffice
Love this new type of video
Appreciate it, good to know 🙏
So happy i have found this channel. Thank you Adam for your work. Keep it up and greetings from germany
Appreciate your comment and greetings from rainy England!

This is an awesome comment, thank you. Time to do some research into this

Constant tension , great blood flow and pump
@@roadstar499 I need the mind muscle connection for my left side.

100%! Love it

I used to have Arnold's book with those exercices and great pictures!
He built muscle with 100mg of d bol aday.
Yes indeed. Nowadays , in his old age , it's supposed to be TRT 😊

partial reps can be actually very effective, but you should also do full range
I have this book by him in which these photos are from. It is called "Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder." The book is mostly of his early life and competition days, but it does give an introductory course on bodyweight exercises, and the section after goes into weights. It's a solid routine.
Arnold probably read the Charles Atlas course . He did not invent those exercises. 😊
wow thank you so much for this where did you find this?

people dont realise that arnie looked impressive even when he wasnt on gear
Thank you for sharing. Viewers will have to look for sturdy chairs.. not the flimsy plastic ones! 😬
First time I've heard somebody refer to Arnold as Arnie😂
Half push keep’s tension on the muscles that’s why prisoners are big not ego half reps are good
The treacle probably made a big impact on his physique too!
bodyweight AND enough gear to make a trans fairy a man again
Did he do this everyday?
It's not a secret if it is printed in a book

Totally agree. BUT boxers do partial plyometric reps. Calisthenycs or gymnastics is more accurate

Boxers blasting PEDs too
I don't believe it.
Don't use a book, use a plate from an adjustable dumbell set.
His was the golden age of steroids.... 😂 they could buy them in any pharmacy....
