Arnold Schwarzenegger puts in the work across a varied gym session

A resistance-machine set gives the clearest focal point in a montage that also moves through barbell and bench work.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is shown moving through a varied weight-training session, from a resistance-machine exercise to barbell and bench work. The machine set is the montage’s clearest moment: he works the raised handles through a controlled range, with the padded supports keeping his position fixed.

The sequence then shifts between different kinds of equipment. A loaded barbell brings a separate lifting task; later, Schwarzenegger lies beneath a bar while another person stands close behind the rack. Each setup changes the demand, but the thread is practical: one movement, then another, using the equipment at hand.

There is no need to make the short sequence into a claim about a particular programme. Its interest is in the contrast between machine work and free weights, and in the straightforward rhythm of moving from one exercise to the next.
