Arnold’s Diet: Schwarzenegger believes that in order to build muscle you must fill your body with the highest quality nutrition only.

Schwarzenegger staggered his calorie intake – some days would be high-caloric intake days, while others would be low-caloric days. This allowed his metabolism to stay up to speed.
