Rich Piana’s idea about Arnold’s training sparked varying opinions and disagreement among Arnold’s fans. One fan said, “And Arnold worked a full-time job dude prolly slept 3 hours max lol sure”. Another commented, “Arnold only trained that way precontest for up to 12 weeks. He didn’t train like that all year.”

One person even said “Arnold purposely gave bad advice to throw off the competition” and this comment got 421 likes. One admirer wrote “Arnold is still healthy and working out every day. He didn’t abuse gear and his cardiovascular health was on point. The guy in the video not so much.”
