Arnold’s Bicep Workout — Lee Hayward’s Total Fitness Bodybuilding Tips

Without a doubt Arnold Schwarzenegger was known for his massive high peaked biceps!

That’s not to say that the rest of his physique wasn’t good. After all a bodybuilder doesn’t become a 7X Mr. Olympia with lagging body parts, but his biceps were world class, even by today’s standards.

I’ve been a huge Arnold fan ever since I was a kid. It was seeing him in the movie “Conan The Barbarian” that inspired me to start working out and building muscles in the first place 🙂

One of the training techniques that Arnold used to build his massive arms was Positions Of Flexion.

This basically means training each muscle group through different ranges of motion; starting with a compound mid-range exercise, then moving to an exercise that works the muscle in the stretched position, and then finishing off with an exercise that works the muscle in the fully contracted position.

Hands down this is one of the most effective ways that you can train a muscle group for maximum growth stimulation.

Here is a typical bicep workout that Arnold Schwarzenegger used to do:

Barbell Curls (Mid Range Power Move)

This is a mid-range exercise as most of the tension is on the biceps in the middle of the rep.

Incline Dumbbell Curls (Fully Stretched Move)

This is a stretched position exercise as most of the tension is on the biceps at the bottom or fully stretched position.

Concentration Curls (Peak Contraction Move)

This is a peak contraction exercise as most of the tension is on the biceps at the top of the rep when the biceps are fully contracted.

Bicep Workout, Sets, & Reps

Arnold used to train his biceps 2 times per week with 4 sets of 8-10 reps per exercise. Give it a try for yourself and I’m sure it will pump up your biceps like crazy!
