Arnold Schwarzenegger: Bodybuilders
built 648 days ago
Arnold was first introduced to weightlifting during a soccer team field trip to a local gym in Graz. After watching the dedicated bodybuilders there, Arnold was fascinated. His father was disappointed because bodybuilding was the least popular sport in Austria. In 1961 Arnold met Kurt Marnul, the former Mr. Austria. Marnul was impressed with Arnold and asked him if he wanted to train in the Union in Graz. Arnold trained seven days a week.

For anyone familiar with bodybuilding Arnold was ... probably the first truly large bodybuilder. He was the first contestant in an American contest to weigh in at over 250 pounds. At over 6 feet tall this makes him a monstrous person. Most of the other contestants in the major events were around 200 pounds and were under 6 feet tall.

Two black bodybuilders have come forward claiming that California Schwarzenegger has a history of making racist comments. Schwarzenegger has allegedly said ."If you gave these blacks a country to run, they would run it down the tubes."

[W]ould you consider Arnold a guy you wouldnt want to pick a fight with? Looking at his physique in his hey day 6'1-6'2 220-240lbs is quite light for such a muscular buiuld compared to bodybuilders today like Cutler and Coleman
