Let’s assume you’re on a mission to gain as much muscle as you can in the shortest time possible, and you’ve decided that an increase in training volume is necessary. I feel everyone could benefit from this book because of how inspirational it is. As for information, beginners to intermediate lifters would benefit from it.

This is such a weird book. It's not an encyclopedia. It's more like a scrapbook of Schwarzenegger's memories of competition and a shit-tonne of photos.

Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger is an Austrian-American bodybuilder, actor, businessman and politician, and served as the 38th Governor of the state of California.

As a Republican, he was first elected on October 7, 2003, in a special recall election to replace then-Governor Gray Davis. Schwarzenegger was sworn in on November 17, 2003, to serve the remainder of Davis's term. Schwarzenegger was then re-elected on November 7, 2006, in California's 2006 gubernatorial election, to serve a full term as governor, defeating Democrat Phil Angelides, who was California State Treasurer at the time. Schwarzenegger was sworn in for a second term on January 5, 2007. In May 2004 and 2007, he was named as one of the Time 100 people who help shape the world. Personally, I like to exercise every day.

You do this by basic, hard training using heavy weights – grinding it out week after week until your body begins to respond. And what I mean by ‘basic training’ is not just a few exercises like bench presses, bent-over rows, and squats, but thirty to forty exercises all designed to stimulate and develop the major muscle groups of the body.” NOTE: Although adding weight is one way to increase the amount of work your muscles do, adding reps is also a viable option. You’ll gain more strength with low reps and heavier weights. But if it’s more mass that you’re after, research shows similar gains in muscle size across a wide spectrum of loads, ranging from light to medium to heavy. When you come to the end of a set and seemingly cannot do another repetition, that doesn’t necessarily mean the muscles involved are totally fatigued, only that they are too tired to lift that amount of weight. If a plate or two is removed, you can do more repetitions. Take another plate off, and you can keep going even longer.” His workout schedule is fairly exhausting even for those who are really strong and have good cardio. Burn out is very easy.
