Arnold Schwarzenegger first started talking about The Pump in the movie Pumping Iron.
“The greatest feeling you can get in the gym or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is The Pump. Let’s say you train your biceps. Blood is rushing into your muscles and that’s what we call The Pump. Your muscles get a really tight feeling like your skin is going to explode any minute and its really tight like somebody blowing air into it, into your muscle. It just blows up and it feels different. It feels fantastic.”
I would go on to what else Arnold says, but we want to keep this article age appropriate. Since the beginning of this year Arnold introduced The Pump Daily Newsletter. The first article helped people build a vision and stick to a routine that would work for any individual. Every week Arnold shares the member of the week-- how the newsletter has helped them out in their health & fitness crusade (our own Randy Jennings was one of them!). Sometimes there are surprises such as rare photos, secret recipes and their things such as a FUBAR trailer which will premiere on Netflix May 25th.
Also, Arnold introduced The Arnold’s Pump podcast where Arnold has trained an AI to read over his daily newsletter each day. It’s like Skynet is about to be alive with a talking terminator.
One of the most recent announcements which we are all pumped up about is Arnold’s Pump Club app called The Pump which is available on the app store.
Upon receiving a special invite, TheArnoldFans.com staff members and others who signed up early were able to get a lifetime membership. The perks included Lifetime access to The Pump App, a weekend pass to the 2024 Arnold Classic, Meet & Greet with Arnold at the 2024 Arnold Classic, Exclusive Group Zoom Call with Arnold and a Pump Club Founder’s T-Shirt. This was sent to a limited amount of people and by the time this article is published the spots will likely be sold out. However the good news is starting tomorrow, April 20, Arnold is opening access up to everyone in his newsletter for a limited time. There is an annual Fee of $99.99 per year and a 7-day free trial.
Being all pumped up for an Arnold app on my phone, I went ahead and downloaded it. When opening the app, you are then greeted with a video incoming call from Arnold which is an awesome touch welcoming you to The Pump Club. Feeling really excited that I was part of the village and having the app was a bonus. Arnold has teamed up with Adam Bornstein and Daniel Ketchell in this fitness crusade.
When setting up in the app, you are able to choose 2 fitness programs to start. If your goal is to lose weight, you choose the Get Shredded program or if you want to gain more muscles you choose Get Big.
You then choose your intensity level which the levels are Starting From Scratch, Intermediate and Advanced.
Equipment: You can choose bodyweight or gym equipment. Gym equipment is not available if you are starting from scratch.
My personal goal is to lose weight and have a healthier lifestyle with better nutrition etc. I’m 6’2” 215lbs and my goal is to eventually get down to 185 which is 30lbs less.
For myself, I chose the Get Shredded program, intensity level Starting From Scratch and equipment body weight.
There are 5 tabs on the bottom of the app. You have the following:
The Home Page: This is where any of the newest content has been posted.
Workouts Page: which have different phase for your specified fitness program. What is very cool is that for each different type of exercises it will tell you the specific exercise, how many sets to do and also a video of demonstrating to proper and correct techniques to use.
Community Page: Adam, Daniel and Arnold interact with everyone in the village where there is no negativity, no trolls. Arnold, Adam and Daniel have different topics they discuss from Training, Mindset, Nutrition, and QA. It is like an open forum where you are able to ask questions that you may have to be answered from the community.
Arnold Pump Shop: You are able to get the latest and coolest designs of Arnold’s Pump Club to work out in.
Profile Page: You can include a picture of yourself, your name and your biography. This will also show your all time stats, past workouts this month and achievements.
What I really love about this program is that Arnold and his team are listening to feedback when it comes to what can they do to improve the app and what features are people needing that might benefit the whole village.
Are you ready to make a change? Join Arnolds fitness crusade and help yourself choose your personal goals whether it is to get fit or turn that mush into muscles. Overall it is great to have our action hero continuing to give his advices based on his experiences. I am looking forward to seeing the results with my goals.
