Are you Arnold Schwarzenegger? Claim this pageSeven-time Mr. Olympia, actor, and former Governor of California, still training daily at 78. Founder of Arnold's Pump Club, the daily newsletter, podcast, and app he runs with Adam Bornstein and Daniel Ketchell to hand out science-backed basics for free.
Daily training, deliberately joint-friendly now: machine-centric lifting at moderate volume, around 25 sets a session, with movement every day rather than heroic single workouts. Roughly 70% plant-based eating, adopted on his doctors' advice to bring down cholesterol and blood pressure, with meat now an occasional thing rather than a staple. Supplements kept to three he takes daily and selected for the Arnold Stack: protein (whey isolate or plant), creatine, and vitamin D3.
The basics, done for decades. In his words: "I've seen every fitness trend come and go. Trends don't build greatness. What actually works has never changed: committing to the basics and doing them well." Train for the life you want at 80, not the photo you want at 30 — and give the information away, which is the whole premise of the Pump Club.

L-Theanine - Momentous 200 mg
I take mine 30-60 minutes before bed and that's where it actually earns its spot in my routine. No morning grogginess, just an easier time turning my brain off. One capsule (200mg) is the full dose. L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid found in tea leaves that promotes calm, focused mental states without causing drowsiness. It works by increasing alpha brain wave activity and supporting neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin, helping you stay relaxed yet alert. Would work for day time too.

Momentous | Creatine Chews 150-Count
Delicious! Easy to take when on the road or at the gym. Five chews a day gets you to 5g, the dose that's actually been studied. Texture is firm and tart, closer to a Sweet Tart than a gummy. I started taking these on travel weeks when I don't want to pack a shaker. Muscle recovery case is the same evidence behind every creatine product and might be good for the brain too!

Wild Maui axis deer sticks: 10g protein, 55 calories, zero sugar
These are jerky-adjacent sticks made from wild-harvested Maui axis deer—leaner and denser in protein than beef. The Peppered variety delivers 10g protein in 55 calories with zero sugar, keto-friendly, and minimal ingredients (venison, salt, spices, cultured celery powder, citric acid in a beef collagen casing). They're shelf-stable and designed as an evening protein hit without the sugar crash.
Jacked Factory Creatine, 5gm per day
Jacked Factory's Creatine Monohydrate™ powder features 5,000 mg of unflavored, pure creatine monohydrate in every scoop. Creatine monohydrate remains the gold standard of creatine supplements, with hundreds of studies proving its effectiveness in athletes, bodybuilders, and gym-goers alike.
David Bronze Variety Pack: 20g protein, 150 cal, actually tastes like dessert
Eight bars split between Cookie Dough Caramel Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chocolate—engineered for the macro math, not whole-food purists. 20g whey/milk/egg protein per bar, zero sugar, third-party tested. Maltitol sweetener and collagen structure mean it reads more like candy than performance food, which is the point if you're short on protein budget but not calories.
