Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a man of many talents. He is a professional bodybuilder, actor, producer, director and politician. Arnold Schwarzenegger was born on July 30, 1947 in a small village called Thal, Austria.

Here are Arnold Schwarzenegger's LIFTING stats

.
Arnold Schwarzenegger started going to the gym when he was 14 years old. He started an intensive training program with Dan Farmer and soon after that, in 1964, he won his first weightlifting championship. It was the Styrian Junior Weightlifting Championship.
In 1965 Arnold Schwarzenegger was required (as all 18 year old Austrian males were) to serve in the Austrian army for a full year. During that time Arnold Schwarzenegger ran away from the army to participate in the Junior Mr. Europe contest, which he won. Because of that he spent a week in military prison.
In 1966 Arnold Schwarzenegger participated in the Mr. Universe competition in London where he won the second place, lacking the muscle definition that the winner Chester Yorton had. Luckily for Arnold Schwarzenegger, one of the judges (Charles Benett) was very impressed by him and offered to coach him. He invited him to stay in his home. Arnold Schwarzenegger accepted his invitation and started a training program devised by judge Benett which was intended to improve the muscle definition of his legs. The next year, 1967, Arnold Schwarzenegger participated again in the Mr. Universe competition. That time he won, becoming the youngest Mr. Universe at the age of 20.
 .
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s biggest dream since the age of 10 was to move to USA. He saw an opportunity to realize his dream through bodybuilding. He dedicated himself to bodybuilding and in September 1968 he managed to turn his dream into a reality. He moved to USA and started to train under Joe Weider. After that success followed.

Here are Arnold Schwarzenegger’s achievements
