Re: Arnold's Rountine

Arnold is awesome. But the guy was a freak. Those workouts are a recipe for all kinds of overuse issues and overtraining. They're the reason I had rotator cuff issues by the time I was 18... Although it was my own dumbass fault for thinking I should be doing Arnold's advanced workouts just cuz I had 2 or 3 years of training under my belt.
