Arnold Training For T3

[EDIZ]

As anyone who has seen T3 is aware Arnold got him self into pretty decent shape for the movie.Does anyone have any info about the diet and training regime he followed to get his muscles back into shape.

[EDIZ]

didnt he only have like 3 months or something to get ready for T3?

i remember seeing a pic of him in a magazine on the beach and he looked old- saggin arms and gut. then all of a sudden T3 came out.

was awesome change- but then it is arnie so i wud expect nothing less

I raised the question because i remember reading in a 2003 Flex magazine about his training regime which he stated that upon completion he was the same weight as T2 about 220 i believe.However i also read that some lady who worked on the film said that a lot of his muscles were added on later via computer effects.I find that hard to believe knowing Arnolds work ethic,muscle memory and the man's pride that he would allow that to happen.

we're talking about a former Mr Olympia here dude, he dont need no special effects to make him look big, muscle memory, training knowledge, nutrition knowledge and more then likely Human Growth Hormone was what did it for him

What sort of training program did you formulate for that three-month period?
It was very much along the lines of how I used to train for contests. I trained twice a day, six days a week, doing, for the most part, 15 sets a bodypart. Heeding the advice of my heart surgeon, I didn't lift maximum poundages, do forced reps or any other intensity techniques. Instead, I did high-rep sets to failure. [See "Arnold Schwarzenegger's T3 Training Program."] I took short rests between sets. It was basically a conditioning and hardening-up program.

I can't remember the exact details, but I remember in the behind the scenes footage, he looked pretty buff too. Remember when he's acting like that trainer guy with the southern accent at Skynet who the terminators' were based on? It's been so long, but yeah, he looked very muscular running on the treadmill.
