Following Arnie’s directives with utmost precision, the young man in the video is seen making an analysis of how much protein he should consume. Having done the research, he soon goes to the kitchen to make breakfast. Frying four sunny-side-up eggs with peanut butter toast and steaks, Matt makes it a point to add exactly 207 grams of protein. Completing breakfast, he is handed his pre-workout protein shake by his wife.
Next in the frame, Matt is spotted wearing the iconic red Arnold-style gym wear. Having had his protein shake and changing into workout clothes, he is quick to hit the gym. He soon starts with his first session with shoulder exercises. For those unversed, Schwarzenegger used to split his exercise routine into two sessions. Matt informs that he would focus on the arms in the second session.

After doing one exercise after the other, Matt returned home for lunch. Grabbing a plate of proteins and veggies, he remarked, “I am unbelievably hungry right now.” Feeling better with the nourishment and the much-needed break, Matt again prepared himself for the next round of exercises.

As he continues his 24-hour living like Arnold’s challenge, he returns to the gym to proceed with his arms exercise. As he analyzes the number of reps and sets, he calls it “ridiculous.” Completing his Arnold-style arms workout routine, he remarked how he enjoyed doing it more than the previous session.

Retreating home after a tiresome day, he is seen with his younger son at the dinner table. Having a whole roasted chicken alongside some rice, Matt was seen having a mug of Xanthohumol. However, the day was not over yet. He soon came back with a bowl of cottage cheese. Though he could not really complete the bowl, he returned with the last dose of protein shake.
As the day drew to a conclusion, he shared his honest take on his day. He remarked on how the amount of protein that Arnold consumed was significantly higher and the volume during the exercises, which he called “stupid.” He noted how 99.99% of the population could not make it through the routine.
