The rigorous workout regime of Arnold

At 74, many might kick back and relax in a rocking chair as they enjoy their sunset years. But that is not the case with Arnold. The former action hero is still active and goes to the gym regularly. He follows a rigid schedule that is evenly divided across the week.

Mondays and Thursdays focus on the chest, abs, and back. Arnold does five exercises to keep these muscles strong. The exercises include- Dumbbell pull-over, wide grip chin up, hanging leg raises, bent-over barbell row, and flat-barbell bench press. The next area of focus for Arnie is the shoulder, arm, and triceps. Clean and Press, standing dumbbell press, incline dumbbell curl, wrist curls, decline sits ups, and dumbbell one arm tricep extension. These are the exercises he does.

Wednesdays and Saturdays are the infamous ‘leg-days.’ Barbell squats, Barbell lunges, leg extensions, standing calf raise, and kneeling cable crunch make up the day.
