4 WAYS TO RE-ENACT ARNIE’S BEST (BODY) PARTS

Follow his advice to say “hasta la vista” to your girly-man physique

Conan’s chest

At his bodybuilding biggest, Arnold boasted a 57in chest, and he wasn’t far off it when he wielded the broadsword in the Conan movies.

Arnie’s exercises
Flat bench press and incline dumbbell press.

Arnie’s expertise

“Make your grip wider than your shoulders when bench pressing, so the pectorals do a major part of the work.”

Terminator’s back

His opening appearance as the cyborg, side-on and buck naked in classical Greek pose, highlighted his all-round muscularity, but his career- defining catchphrase dictates that we focus on his lats.

Arnie’s exercises

Wide-grip chin-up and bent-over barbell row.


Arnie’s expertise

“When doing barbell rows, keep your upper body parallel to the floor and don’t use your lower back to lift.”

Dutch’s arms

Arnie famously said, “I have a love interest in every one of my films – a gun.” He was also justifiably fond of his own guns, which looked close to their 22in bicep biggest when he went Dutch in Predator.

Arnie’s exercises

Standing barbell curl and seated dumbbell curls.

Arnie’s expertise

“Twisting your wrists as you lift and lower the dumbbells causes a fuller contraction
of the biceps.”

Ben Richards’ legs

In his early bodybuilding days, Arnie was so ashamed of his skinny calves that he cut his sweatpants short to shame himself into working them to a 20in circumference. Handy for evading his pursuers in 1987’s The Running Man.

Arnie’s exercises
Machine squat and standing calf raise.

Arnie’s expertise
“The weight should be heavy, but not so heavy that you cannot come all the way up for most of your reps.”
