Arnold Schwarzenegger: Years
built 660 days ago
In 1999, Schwarzenegger sued Dr. Willi Heepe, a German doctor who publicly predicted an early death for the bodybuilder, based on a link between steroid use and later heart problems. Because the doctor had never examined him personally, Schwarzenegger collected a DM 20,000 ($12,000 USD) libel judgment against him in a German court. In 1999, Schwarzenegger ... sued and settled with The Globe, a U.S. tabloid which had made similar predictions about the bodybuilder's future health. As late as 1996, a year before open heart surgery to replace an aortic valve with a human homograft valve,[29] Schwarzenegger publicly defended his use of anabolic steroids during his bodybuilding career.[30]

Schwarzenegger, whose award-winning physique was his ticket to fame, certainly earned the honor of the number two spot, even playing a clone in the Sci-Fi thriller "The 6th Day." All but one of the top ten are over 30 years old, quite a contradiction with the industry that has long touted the glories of youth. In fact, the average age of the top 10 picks is 38.

Schwarzenegger launched his bodybuilding career in Portsmouth, England as a young adult. He trained regularly in a gym located in Albert road and went on to become Mr. Portsmouth before advancing to more prestigious competitions. One of the first competitions he won was the Junior Mr. Europe contest in 1965.[5] He won Mr. Europe the following year, at age 19.[5][15] He would go on to compete in and win many bodybuilding contests, as well as some powerlifting contests, including five Mr. Universe (4 — NABBA [England], 1 — IFBB [USA]) wins, and seven Mr. Olympia wins, a record which would stand until Lee Haney won his eighth consecutive Mr. Olympia title in 1991.
