Arnold Schwarzenegger Chest Workout Blueprint — Breed Muscle

Chest was always the dominant part of Arnold’s Body, his massive broad and thick chest has always been in conversations and still people talk about his massive pecs. When I first saw a pic of his side posed pecs and literally thought they are not natural it looks like they have been inflated by air, but we all know that is not true.

After careful and thorough search, I am sharing with you Arnold Schwarzenegger Chest Workout, Arnold’s most loved exercises that he performed to have that enormous chest.

Bench Press (Wide Grip)

In videos and pictures you can clearly see he is doing Bench Press with wide grip, so if you are following this program then I must recommend you to do the same. Perform 4 sets of 10,10,10,8 reps with full range of motion.

Incline Bench Press (Wide Grip)

Best exercise for developing upper chest, perform 4 sets of 8,10,10,10 reps with full range of motion.
