  Arnold Schwarzenegger is a five-time Mr. Universe and seven-time Mr. Olympia, the world championship of bodybuilding, according to imdb.com. His exercise workouts are sought after because of the massive size he built during his heyday and because of hit movies such as "Conan The Barbarian" and "The Terminator," which featured his muscular physique. Along with working out, Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, recommends that people eat five to six meals per day with lots of protein.
  
  

Workout Schedule

• Arnold recommends that you lift five to six times per week, using a split routine, according to bodybuildingco.com. Arnold's workout is unusual in that he recommends training large muscles like chest, back and legs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and arms and shoulders on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. He recommends training smaller muscles, such as forearms and calves, and abs every workout.
  
  

Chest and Back Routine

• Arnold advocates working the upper, middle and lower chest for a more balanced look. Do bench press and flat bench flies to work your middle chest. Perform five sets of each exercise. Stay between six and 10 reps on both exercises. Additionally, do incline bench presses for upper chest. Perform six sets of between six to 10 repetitions, since this is the only upper chest exercise. Arnold recommends doing dips to build the lower chest. Perform dips by lower yourself between two parallel bars, using the strength of your triceps to push yourself up. Do six sets of dips while staying between 10 and 12 repetitions for each set.
  
  

Shoulder and Arms Training

• Perform seated barbell presses for building big shoulders. Lift the weight up and down in front of your shoulders. Use a bench with a high back support when performing this exercise. Do six sets of between six and 10 repetitions. Arnold also recommends various lateral raises for shoulders. For example, do side laterals by raising dumbbells out to each side about shoulder height, then lower them back down. Do six sets of six to 10 repetitions.
  
  Do barbell curls for biceps. Curl the bar toward your shoulders, then lower it back down. Do six sets of six to 10 repetitions. Perform push-downs for triceps. Go to the cable machine and place a short bar on one end. Grab the bar with both hands using and overhand grip. Push the bar down and raise it back up. Do six sets of six to ten repetitions.
  
  

Legs and Calves Training

• Build your quadriceps or thighs with squats. Keep your back straight as you move the weight up and down. Go down until your legs are parallel to the floor and no further, as going parallel is better on the knees. Do six sets of 10 to 12 repetitions.
  
  Perform standing-calf raises for calves. Place your shoulders under the pads of the standing calf machine and your feet on the platform. Keep your knees straight as you raise yourself up, then get a good stretch at the bottom of the movement. Do 10 sets of 10 repetitions.
