Arnold stopped lifting over 405 lbs on bech press in 72' (age 25) he also stopped squatting more than 4 plates (405 lbs) at that same age thats way too young, considering his best years were 73 and 74, at that point he was doing all the sets and reps he calims in his books/articles but poundages were relatevilly light for a big guy and a pro Bodybuilder ......
Joe Weider always sold the idea that he was lifting monstrous weights in the photo shoots (smart marketing/business move)
Goes to show you that young Arnold was smart guy from the start , think about it; when bodybuilding as a sport " was still in diapers ....Arnold already knew lifting "heavy ass weights" wasn't really necessary and respected the power of juice .
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
