Weekly Set Volume

The exact routine Arnold used to build his 7x Mr. Olympia physique. High frequency, supersets, and maximum pump.

Consistency & Nutrition

This program is a marathon, not a sprint. To handle this level of volume, your nutrition and sleep must be dialed in perfectly. Eat to grow, sleep to recover.

The Golden Split

The routine is split into three distinct days, repeated twice a week. Chest & Back (2 days), Shoulders & Arms (2 days), and Legs (2 days). Sunday is for total rest.

Weight Selection

Leave your ego at the door. Select a weight that allows you to perform the prescribed reps with perfect form, reaching failure only on the last rep. If you can do more, increase the weight.

Mind-Muscle Connection

Don’t just move the weight. Visualize the muscle filling with blood. The “Pump” is the goal. Squeeze at the top of every movement.
