The Science Behind the Transformation...

I'm sure that many of you are wondering how it is Arnold became so massive, and if fact it was rather scientific.  As he was dominating the body-building industry in the 1970's, he was extremely precise and acccurate in what he ate, when he ate it, and how much.  Arnold has reported eating about 5,000 calories in order to maintain his physical form.  He ate numerous meals a day, about 3 hours apart that were highly protein-rich.  He estimated that a body builder should eat close to .5 a gram of protein per pound of body weight daily, and that has held true even to today's scientific standards.  He stressed the vital importance of consuming enough calories and carbs a day so that your muscles would have more than adequate resources to rebuiled muscles following a difficult and intense workout.  It all came down to protein in-take though, naturally.  Arnold knew that protein is what makes or breaks muscles, so he would consume extreme amounts daily. Arnold's results simply speak for themselves.
