HOW TO BUILD A HUGE CHEST LIKE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER


1

Try the workout routine that Arnold Schwarzenegger used to build his huge muscular chest. .
Arnold Schwarzenegger is without doubt the most famous bodybuilder of all time, with a chest measuring an incredible 58”, some would say he had the best pecs ever seen in bodybuilding, they had it all, size, shape, balance and definition. When he pulled a most muscular shot his chest would split into four muscle's unveiling both his left and right, upper and lower pecs. To support his huge chest he possed a massage rib cage that looked like that of what you would see on a silverback gorilla.
Over the last 30 years, bodybuilding has come along way and with more and more people getting involved everyday, more competitors, more shows and of course more muscle. Bodybuilding would never have been the big sport it is today without Arnold Schwarzenegger.
So let’s let Arnold talk about how he built it physique with this classic quote and a classic routine from back in the day.

ARNOLD ON HIS CHEST WORKOUT“I always like to start my chest routine with barbell bench presses. I'll use the pyramid principle, starting with a lighter weight and going to a heavy weight for six reps. After that I'll do barbell presses on an incline to hit the upper chest. These I like to do for 10 to 15 reps and get a good pump. After that I do dumbbell flyes on a flat bench to really stretch out my pecs and hit the inner part. And finally I'll end my routine with dips, and I lean into these a lot. This also stretch out my pecs and get a lot of blood in there. Dips also focuses more on my lower pecs.”
