If you want to get results, you need intense workouts. Gurning, sweating and
screaming is definitely the way to go!
What kind of workout routine should you do? The following exercise routine
and principles made Arnold Schwarzenegger who he is today, but one should not
simply mimic him (how many people can workout 6 times a week?). As the great man
has said, he doesn\'t believe that working out is a "one-size-fits-all" routine.
Take what you think will work best for you and adapt it to your own bodybuilding
philosophy. That\'s how he got to where he is, by working out intensively and
intelligently.
