Let's start with the obvious... Arnold Schwarzeneggers physique and muscular size was primarily built through resistance weight training (as the majority of impressive physiques are), however that doesn't mean he didn't train at home with body weight exercises. In fact, in a recent interview he says that during gym closures, holidays, sickness or any other event that didn't allow him to make it to the gym, he still trained hard using nothing but his own bodyweight as tools and outlines EXACTLY what he did, which is what we are going to provide you today!
For this workout we have created 2 resources you can use in addition to this article, tap the resource below to be access it
If an exercise says 50 reps, you are doing 50 reps however you can. You can do 10 sets of 5 reps, 5 sets of 10 reps, 2 sets of 25 reps. It doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you finish 50 reps with perfect form. Once you complete the reps of one exercise, move on to the next exercise. A note on form: if you cheat at an exercise, you are only cheating yourself. Don’t let your ego do the movements for you. You might want to show off to me or your friends and do 50 push-ups in one set, but if you can’t do them with perfect form, I’ll be more impressed by 5 sets of 10 perfect push-ups.I have given repetition guidelines for beginners who don’t train very often and for more advanced trainers. But if you have actually never worked out, spend your first few workouts just getting used to the movements. Adjust the exercises for yourself - if a push-up is too much, instead of putting your hands on the floor, put them on a counter to make the movement a little easier. If a dip between chairs is too much, use your feet on the floor to take some of the weight off of your upper body. Don’t feel bad about working your way up to the full workout - we all start somewhere.You aren’t adding weight like you would be in the gym, but you can still track your progress. If you could do 5 perfect push-ups today, do 6 in your next workout. Track the number of sets it takes you each time to hit your total reps, and watch as the number of sets goes down over time.
Exercise 1: Pushups - 50 reps
Exercise 2: Dips between Chairs - 50 reps
Exercise 3: Rows between Chairs - 50 reps
Exercise 4: Sit Ups - 100 reps
Exercise 5: Bent Leg Raises - 50 reps
Exercise 6: Bent Over Twists - 50 reps
Exercise 7: Squat - 50 reps
Exercise 8: Calf Raises - 50 reps
Exercise 9: Chin Ups - 30 reps

Final Word
While this workout is challenging, do not think this workout alone will allow you to achieve a body like Arnold's or a significant increase in muscle mass. This workout is great for when you cannot access the gym or are just starting your fitness journey and want to start building your strength prior to entering the gym. This workout can add some serious results if combined with your normal workout routine as it targets the full body and due to the high volume, will burn calories!

I do this routines every a day and my body gets real nice.
I get a so strong I do double the times each exercise now.
Ones day I squat 150 tines and lost my 💩 movement pero it ok.
Arnold workout real nice.
I Truly Love my snake eyes Suit. It is by far now my favorite suit from super X and I truly cannot wait till you guys come out with more superhero suits like this, It fits perfectly and Can be worn in In any environment. Thank you so much
Earlier this year, I 3D printed and custom painted a Power Ranger helmet for myself, much to the elation of my inner child. Then, when I saw SuperX's line of Power Ranger SuperSuits, I knew I had to get one to compliment my helmet. It was well worth the wait for the product to arrive, because it feels fantastic and looks even better than I imagined it would on me. SuperX makes quality products and if you're a proud nerd like myself, you will be more than satisfied with what you receive from them.
I genuinely couldn’t be happier! I had reservations when I ordered and realised it was a preorder and a 16 week wait, but my god was it worth it. Quality 10/10. Fit/Size 10/10. Detail and design 10/10. Communication regarding the 16 week delay and process 10/10. Delivery once dispatched 10/10. Worth every penny and now looking at what else I want from SuperX
