Arnold Schwarzenegger Shares His 35-Minute Unilateral Dumbbell Workout

Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed a new 35-minute full-body routine using just a pair of dumbbells and a timer. The workout focuses on unilateral supersets—working one side at a time—to improve strength balance, stability, and muscle symmetry. Each superset pairs an upper and lower body move, like single-arm presses and Bulgarian split squats, for 3 rounds each. Arnold says this approach helps expose and fix strength imbalances, making your training more effective. Curious to try it?

Is it love or a symptom? Psychiatrist Stepan Fimkin answers a tough question from Daria, 30, who has schizophrenia and strong feelings for a much older, married man. He explains that schizophrenia can sometimes cause painful crushes mixed with delusional beliefs—known as erotomania—where someone is convinced of a special connection that isn’t real. But not every feeling is a symptom: genuine affection is part of life, and it’s important to know the difference. Unsure if your emotions are real or illness-related? Regular check-ins with a psychiatrist can help. Read more at psytheater.com: https://psytheater.com/article/how-to-tell-if-your-feelings-are-real-or-a-symptom-of-schizophrenia-102470.html
