Schwarzenegger answered a fan’s question about whether more reps or higher weights were important during training. Let us see what the Austrian Oak thinks about this dilemma.

Arnold recommends both for strength and muscular endurance

According to the bodybuilding legend, reps and higher weights are equally important. “We want muscular strength and muscular endurance,” he wrote to the fan who asked the question.

“When I give you an exercise that starts out at 15 reps every week, I do not mean for you to do the same weight for 15 reps every week,” Schwarzenegger added. The bodybuilding legend said he wanted this weight to go up.

Arnie also stated that he was looking for progress at all rep ranges. “I do not want you staying the same every week,” the Terminator star implored.

According to Schwarzenegger, giving “1% more” was essential. “Give me 1% more. Eventually, you’ll be shocked how it builds,” he wrote.
