According to Arnold, basic exercises like squats and deadlifts should occur "repeatedly" on the schedule. He also recommends: Regularly increase either the weight, the time of repetitions, or the number of repetitions of an exercise.

Schwarzenegger isn't a fan of using your smartphone to train -- even if you use it to log your achievements. Listening to music is okay, but the smartphone can quickly become a distraction.

It is probably the oldest tip for muscle building: eat more protein. Arnold says to focus on the simple things: "Every time you eat something, make sure it has protein in it."

4. Eat more vegetables

If you want to do something long term, the most important thing is: have fun. Life is all about routine. Success is not magic, it comes from doing something every day.
