Despite relatively high rep ranges, Arnold went as heavy as
he could when training chest to elicit maximal growth. He
typically used the pyramid principle, increasing weight
and decreasing reps on each set of a given exercise.
In addition he also frequently performed super sets, forced reps,
iso-tension (holding poses between sets and after workouts)
and peak contractions (squeezing the muscles at the top of each rep)
in his training. He did whatever it took to increase intensity.
