In a video released by Men’s Health Mag on X, Schwarzenegger revealed his first exclusive tip. In it, he stressed on the importance of warming up before starting each exercise.
“We always start off with high reps, so we kind of warm up the area,” he stated. “The first set we start with 30 reps, or sometimes 50. The same when you do squats you warm up your knees, or when you deadlift you warm up your back. It’s all about warming up and cooling down.”
According to the Terminator star, this helps to warm up the blood in your muscles. Moving on, his second and third exclusive tips dealt with mistakes that are usually made by numerous fitness enthusiasts.
Target the real delts, use the full range of motion, says Schwarzenegger
The Greek God of Hollywood’s second tip dealt with the targeting of the rear delts.
Schwarzenegger said that it is essential to keep your head up and chest out while using the rear delt fly machine. “If you go forward too much, you will feel it in the back. If you keep your head up and your chest out, then it is going into the rear deltoid.”

For his third and final tip, Schwarzenegger advocates for the highest level of full range of motion during machine exercises. He believes that a complete full range of motion can only be achieved when he hears the weight stack “clinking.” “Why rob one-tenth of the movement?” Which could be, we don’t know exactly, but it could be one-tenth of the growth,” he said.
He also has one final bonus tip for building greater bodies.
