Never Train Every Day — Here's Why

You've probably been told that more training equals more results. Paul believed that too. Twenty-five years old, Venice Beach, full beard — the kind of guy who looks like he knows exactly what he's doing. He trained chest every single day for a year. Same gym, same dedication, same obsession that made Arnold famous. His chest didn't grow. It went backwards. And the reason has nothing to do with effort.
