No, and won’t ever even though I’m a huge fan, he’s made enough money off people. Do u think he needed a stupid app, computers didn’t even exist in his day.
Or just some cold steel, dumbell and a barbell?

I believe what he is doing is somewhat different than a money grab, but who knows.

Don't let anyone fool you: it's ALWAYS about the money.

Arnold is an insecure elderly man who is obsessed with securing a positive legacy. Eg, the recent "Arnold" documentary.
Some people become increasingly vain in old age and it doesn't look good.
I choose to remember him from Pumping Iron, when he was probably doing horrible things off camera but came off as cool in that movie.

I've been using the Hevy app the past year or so, and it's been awesome for tracking my workouts. Check that one out.

True, I always try and remember the good things. TBH he is the reason why a lot of us are even into this life style or here on this site lol.
But what I also admire about him is he admits to having insecurities. Then again we got those cringy ass memories of him in the back of our head also, and for sure he was no 6’2. 6’0 max.

Negative.
Ed Coan, Louie Simons and the likes are why I love picking up heavy things and trying to be a no BS person in my life, besides my father.
Arnold was a spoiled narcissist due to his early success. He used to make fun of Lou Feriggno for his hearing aid, his "best friend" Franco for his height. He cheated the Olympia title from Mike Mentzer because he sucked up daddy Weider. Now, in old age, he tries to build a profile of the good hearted, gentle, caring person.
Achouuu!

FU ARNOLD! Screw ur freedom?? Anyone?? Geesh this dude should be canceled completely and forgotten… even after he became a governor and took all his history off the walls at gold gyms…
Why any body would ever again look at him favorably is beyond me… mental delusion

Yeah I felt bad even typing it. Arnold was definitely one of my idols in the 90's.
Claims of his height are a gift that we all just say, "OK, six feet tall, sure"

I’ll call bull shit on that. I said he’s the reason most of us are here and it’s true, he made it what it is today. U have ur guys u like that’s fine, power lifers but do a freakin pole who got into working out because of Arnold or ed Conan/ Louie Simon’s? He would burry both of them together. Plus I heard a lot of bad shit about Louie even from guys that worked super closely with him for years, u think he dident have his personality problems?Negative.

Agree and disagree with parts of your comment.
Louie Simmons: I've been doing Westside since 2012 or so. He said he was going to use steroids until he died. Lived pretty long for someone pushing it so hard for so long.
Arnold was definitely an earlier influence on me for bodybuilding (mainly from Pumping Iron).
Yeah I've read a lot of things about Arnold. He was not a good human being.

yea, I was disappointed when I heard a interview with frank zane saying weirder usto kiss Arnold’s biceps.
I know they butted heads and what not but I kind of believed it.

Louie was rough on the edges for sure, but he was a straight shooter. He didn't pretend he loved you, even if deep down inside he did. You were on the board you meant something, you were not, you didn't matter.
If you 've seen the Westside against the world, check the part that Ed Coan breaks down in tears when he mentions his injury. He bailed guys out of jail with his own money, but he never mentioned it. I have much respect for Louie, I will always have. Even Dave Tate carries part of his legacy of Live, Learn, Pass on. That's what The Brotherhood of Iron means, imho.

That's exactly what I said. My father taught me integrity, honor and sacrifice. I know that in this point in time those things mean dick squat for 99% of the population and even a sign of weakness and being naive, but I stand by those. And I like people that speak their mind and are true to themselves as long as they are not retarded. I like a good argument and I absolutely hate a fucking liar and hypocrite. Arnold is both.

Mabe I’m delusional, but have u seen terminator 2 lol.
And another sad thing you guys made me remember talking about this. This terd took cigarettes from inmates and refused give back the weight like to even low level inmates, said they would get too jacked and hurt guards and some shit about escaping easier or some shit.
I don’t know about u guys but pound for pound I would much rather fight or chase after a guy that’s only been lifting weights than a guy that’s been doing nothing but burpees push ups pull ups and dips and running track.
But what you posted says he wanted to give the equipment back, as it was taken away in 1997.
Don't know if that happened, eventually, but did I read it wrong?

No sorry it wasn’t too clear, all in all, in the end he chose to not give weights back at all not even to low level inmates because of danger to guards and if they escape. Which is a joke.
If that's what happened, you are right, of all people...
Hilarious.
This is about Arnie and you are going to say I am a retard etc but, personally, between him and Frank Zane, I would go for Frank, anytime.
When it's not about bigger, but proportions and aesthetics, it's more my thing.
And that's regardless of other considerations, e.g. that the terminator was, apparently, a selfish, manipulative dickhead.
Zane seems like a good egg, but idk.
After reading about it here, I went and had a look at his website for the app.
It looks like a children's site or something, with basic, shitty animation and a picture of him biting a dog.
I mean, who put that stuff together?
It's far from slick and elegant.
There is this as an example of a workout:
Intermediate
1. Barbell squat: 3 sets x 10 reps
2A. Dumbbell bench press: 2 x 10 reps
2B. 2-arm Dumbbell row: 2 x 10 reps
3A. Dumbbell straight leg deadlift: 2 x 10 reps
3B. Dumbbell front squat: 2 x 10 reps
4. Cable crunch 2 x 10 reps
Advanced
1. Barbell deadlift: 3 sets x 6 reps
2. Incline barbell press: 3 x 6 reps
3. Lat pulldown: 2 x 8 reps
4. Dumbbell front squat: 2 x 8 reps
5. Leg extensions: 2 x 8 reps
6A. Dumbbell overhead press: 2 x 8 reps
6B. Dumbbell biceps curls: 2 x 8 reps
7. Lying leg raise (abs): 3 x 10 reps
You ain't getting a lot of pump with that, but then it's Schwarzenegger writing it and what do I know.

For sure I agree with your point of view, especially a woman’s point of view. Even my son asks me how to dress, I tell him ask his sister or a girl from school I have no idea these days. Us meat heads just think bigger is better. I think frank zane was much more esthetic I’ve heard he even gave Arnold a lot of advice on training and especially cycle design “primo/anavar” that Arnold knew nothing about. Not 100 if it’s true but believable.
Thanks for looking into that program, I had a feeling it was a money grab like me and another member above had mentioned. I was just too lazy to look into it. That looks like a split for a old man or someone’s first day in the gym lol.
I got his encyclopedia of bb years ago. Did absolutely nothing for me lol. Last few dollars Arnold will ever make off me.
