Arnold Schwarzenegger’s quick hit dumbbell workout delivers serious strength gains

If there’s someone who knows a thing or two about getting jacked and super strong, it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger. While us mere mortals don’t have time to train like Arnie did – multiple sessions a day, six times a week – the bodybuilder has shared a refreshingly simple workout in his Pump Club Newsletter. This routine focuses on building full-body, functional strength in as little as 30 minutes. Best of all, you can either use a barbell or two dumbbells, making it easy to fit into your schedule, whether you're training at home or in the gym.

Unlike high-intensity workouts, this session focuses on low reps, heavy weight, and making sure you get enough recovery between each exercise, which is key when looking to improve strength. “This workout is not about chasing fatigue—it’s about chasing strength and force,” says Schwarzenegger. “You’ll focus on moving heavy weights with intention, power, and perfect mechanics while still fitting it into your busy day.”
