To be fair to Arnold, this was the 70s and 80s when exercise science was quite elementary

Its insane how many people still believe this despite literally everyone who knows anything about fitness telling them it's wrong

This and "no straps to train my forearms" like what? Just train them separately if you actually care about their results

I’ve absolutely never understood this. These people care soooo much about their grip and forearm strength that they… do back exercises to train their forearms? Like dude, if you want big forearms, train your forearms.

Ok but on this topic, people treating the word of Arnold and other older bodybuilders like their word is gospel. YES they are some of the greats of bodybuilding and deserve all of the respect in the world, but we need to acknowledge that these guys did not have modern information available to them, and they are not experts. People will act like it’s blasphemous to say that your average person understands muscle growth more than Arnold, but it’s true.

Not saying he's right or that people should still follow his training. I'm saying that he didn't have the proper information available at the time.

No yeah I agree. I just think its frustrating how often I see people still treating the word of Arnold like it’s actually credible
