that most people would raise their brow at but their hard work, self-discipline, and dedication in the weight room can be appreciated by all. Without these guys exercising to the beat of a different drum we all might be performing an exercise routine from a typical gym class in the 50s. Reading Arnold’s Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding in High School gave me a great knowledge base on proper nutrition and correct exercise technique.

The Ugly – Multilingual…

Add some fun & variety to your workout today by performing one set of Arnold Presses in order to honor the Austrian Oak.
