Arnold Schwarzenegger discussed how gym goers should focus on these variables rather than nitpicking which days per week and how many workouts you are getting in.
“Scientists found that if you’re stressing about optimizing the number of workouts, days per week, or specific exercises, you’re missing the forest from the trees. Consistency and compliance are the most important variables for building more strength and muscle.”
Schwarzenegger also acknowledged that goals can determine how to set a guide for training and overall workouts.
“If your goal is increasing strength, the variables change. You’re ability to become stronger is determined by progressively using more weight, the frequency of your training sessions (three times per week appears to be the sweet spot), and exercise order influences muscular strength.”
Overall, it is about the consistency of workouts and making sure you are sticking to habits in the gym. If this happens, Arnold Schwarzenegger believes that you will begin seeing desired results within your physique.
“Focus on your habits, make them automatic, and then you can figure out how to push yourself hard enough to see the desired results.”
