The Gold’s Gym in the 1970s was a hub for elite bodybuilders like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbu, and Frank Zane, who used to train for hours to build a physique that could earn them the prestigious Sandow Trophy. Despite the struggle to follow the strict diet patterns and training regimes, they never backed out from taking up challenges while lifting weights.

Their hard work at the gym fetched them Mr. Olympia titles and a place in the IFBB Hall of Fame. Zane, the Father of Aesthetics, often shares his thoughts on the sport with the bodybuilding community. “If you really want to focus on the muscle you need to isolate it and blast it,” he wrote in his recent post.

While emphasizing getting a pump, The Chemist narrates how a bit of pump every time will add to the overall look of the bodybuilders. “And gradually that accumulates over time and that creates your look,” he suggested. His enlightening post caught the attention of fans as they praised the valuable lesson in the comments section.
