Arnold Schwarzenegger had some of the best
looking arms of all-time.

In Arnold's own words:
"I recall days when my training partners and
I would do 20 extremely heavy sets of biceps
work, with only four or five reps each set.
Another day maybe only two days later we
would do 10 more sets, 15 reps each, using
a lighter weight.
This shocking method was extremely important
to my training. Your muscles tend to become
complacent and resist growth if you are
constantly doing the same workout for them.
But if you try all different types of training methods,
exercises, weights, set-rep combinations and training
tempos, you keep the muscles off balance.
They sort of say to themselves, 'Wow, there's a
new thing here. He just did 10 sets of 20 reps,
and the next workout he'll do 20 sets of five reps.
I'll never get used to this. I can never build up
a resistance to the training, so I guess I'll have
to grow!'"
