www.setforset.com What Is The Arnold Split?
Want to know how Arnold Schwarzenegger trained in his prime? This guide has everything you need to know about the Arnold split workout routine.
The Arnold Split is a workout split used by the Oak himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's a 6-day split with 2 rest days totaling 8 days and is perfect for someone who wants to do an asynchronous split rather than always doing chest on Monday.
My personal favorite part is on arm day when you do Bicep and Tricep together you feel the pump on your whole arm and it's amazing.
