is responsible for making bodybuilding so popular and mainstream. Arnold just celebrated his 65th
birthday less than a month ago on the 30th of July so I decided to
dedicate a post to the great man. His bodybuilding journey started off a long
time ago at the age of 15, in his native Austria. He is a 7 time Mr Olympia which is the highest
level of bodybuilding competition, after bodybuilding he went on to have a very
successful Hollywood career, appearing
in movies like Conan the barbarian, Predator ,Terminator and so on. He even
moved into politics becoming the Governor of California from 2003 until 2011.
Arnie was not only good at pumping Iron and acting in action movies but he is
also a successful businessman, I guess goal setting and hard work go a long way
in whatever you choose to do.

is strength.

through the pain no matter what happens.

When I was 15 years old, I took off my clothes and looked in
the mirror. When I stared at myself naked, I realized that to be perfectly
proportional I would need twenty-inch arms to match the rest of me.

I knew I was a winner back in the sixties. I knew I was
destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally
immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way – I hope
it never will.

What we face may look insurmountable. But i learned something from all those years of competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn’t think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.
