If you’re looking for some serious advice on how to get the best physique you can, look no further. Bodybuilding is about aesthetics — it’s about angles, about balance and about creating illusions. If you don’t have wide, rounded delts, you’re not going to have a slick v-taper, no matter how small your waist is, and angled your lats are. If you don’t have the thick, striated chest, you won’t have a strong and powerful presence, and a well-balanced upper body, no matter how developed your arms may be. So, what are you gonna do? Lie on your flat bench and crank out a few reps? Maybe throw in some dumbbell work — perhaps a few flyes, for example. You’re dreaming if you think this is going to get the job done. But worry not my friend, because building a quality chest and shoulders is about to get a lot easier and your workouts are about to get a lot more productive. It’s time to start training smarter.

We all have habits, some bad and some good, but it’s important to make sure our good habits outweigh the bad, and that our bad habits aren’t derailing our goals. Iron Man has always preached the importance of developing good habits, and this issue is no exception.

We all hit a plateau every once and a while, but it’s important to realise this isn’t because you are doing something wrong — it’s actually because you have been doing something right. When we find ourselves into a plateau it means its time to push harder, set new goals, look for new challenges and spice up your workout. And Iron Man’s here to help you push to the next level.  

Once you step into the gym, you’ve made it now — no sense in turning back. Remember: the only workout you regret is the one you didn’t do. And when your plan involves getting to the gym and training hard — and doing it often — that consistency actually becomes material. You can actually see the hard work in your physique and in your strength numbers going up. By following a plan and sticking to it, you will develop persistent consistency. And Iron Man’s here to help you along the way.

If you’ve ever heard Arnold’s ‘rules for success’ speech, you’ll know that one of his top tips is “Work your butt off.”  That’s good advice for the gym, for business and for life in general. So, this issue, in honour of Arnold’s 69th birthday on July 30, we’re taking a look at one of the ways Arnold built his seven-time Mr. Olympia upper body. With the popularity of the Men’s Physique and Classic Physique divisions growing every day, it’s worth taking a look back at how those guys in the ’70s trained because, you know what, they knew what they were doing.

And as long as you don’t stumble too far off, coming back to the road is no problem. If you know the road you’re on, you’ll always be able to find it again — because you’re headed in the right direction. This issue of Iron Man will help to keep you on you’re the right path.
