"There’s an art and science to training..." - Arnold Schwarzenegger shares workout tips in his newsletter

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a seven-time Mr Olympia winner, has turned 75 years old but has not yet stopped staying healthy. In his newsletter, the Daily Pump, he frequently offers tips and ideas on how to maintain fitness while gaining muscle and strength.

In a recent edition, Schwarzenegger discussed the fallacy that lifting more weights is always better. He used the example of one of his heroes, famed bodybuilder Eugen Sandow, who contributed to the early 20th-century growth of strength sports.

"There’s an art and science to training. Intensity determines your outcome. You need to challenge yourself and push towards failure, which means you could find yourself doing 20 or 30 reps in some instances."

Schwarzenegger went on to say that in order to get the desired outcome, it's important to understand your body's failure points and strive towards them. This has to be done throughout workouts rather than simply pumping out a lot of reps at a small weight.

"The big mistake is thinking that you can just do endless reps of a lighter weight and grow. There’s an art and science to training. Intensity determines your outcome. You need to challenge your body and push towards failure, which means you could find yourself doing 20 or 30 reps in some instances."

Arnold Schwarzenegger also emphasized the exercises which are best for lifting lighters, stressing that not all actions have the same attributes and restrictions.

"The higher rep approach won’t necessarily make sense for more complicated exercises. You might think a set of 30 reps on squats with 100 pounds would be 'better' than 300 pounds for 10 reps, but it’s not that simple..."
