What was Arnold Schwarzenegger's secret to supreme muscle gains?

(Original Caption) April 1976- Jeff Bridges (L) and Arnold Schwarzenegger who is lifting weights in a movie still from "Stay Hungry".

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a name synonymous with bodybuilding greatness, sculpted one of the most iconic physiques in history. A key component of his success was his high-volume training approach, a method that has intrigued and inspired countless fitness enthusiasts.

What’s workout volume, though? Volume is calculated by multiplying sets, reps, and weight. Following Arnie’s footsteps, your aim should be to increase volume from workout to workout. You can do low sets with high reps in one session and high sets with low reps in the other. This allows for switching up your workout without sacrificing gains.
