And as both a strength training fan and long-time Arnie-admirer, Im excited to give it a go.

These rivals boast a plethora of plans and workouts to choose from.

However, by limiting your choice, The Pump aims to keep you consistent for continued results.

Another element of this app I like is the focus on community.

Arnolds team again does things differently.

This reinforces my view that bodybuilding staples are staples for a reason: theyre effective.

Would I use Arnold Schwarzeneggers The Pump app again?

Fortunately for him and his vast appeal, that still casts a very wide net.

The only reason I wont be subscribing to The Pump long-term is because I have wider training goals.
