Arnold Schwarzenegger BodyBuilding

Arnold Schwarzenegger is indubitably not one of the but the most popular and reputed bodybuilders of his times.

His contribution to bodybuilding and several other fields also (which has been dealt with below here) is something unforgettable. His life story is highly inspiring.

A simple skinny boy belonging to a poor family of Austria gained the title of a king of bodybuilding.

He Actually Won Seven Mr. Olympia Titles Overall.

Arnold, the bodybuilding star, is simply a source of admiration and an absolute example of unflinching tenacity for many beginners and professionals.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was born on July 30, 1947, in the village of Tal, near Graz, Austria.

Catholics Gustav Schwarzenegger & Aurelia Schwarzenegger

As mentioned above, the family was poor, so compelled young children to work indefatigably.

Arnold (Arnie) has been brilliant since his childhood. He proved himself the best in football. He got an invitation at the age of 14 from the school football coach in the gym in Graz. There as he took the bar and lifted other weight, he realized his true calling.

Being 17 17-year-old teenager only, Arnie won second place in his first-ever bodybuilding competition.

Later on, in 1965, Arnold got conscripted into the Austrian army, where he got the opportunity to consume meat regularly.

All this protein nutrition together with the constant rigorous exercise finally resulted in a significant result.

Further, in 1966, Arnold Schwarzenegger started a new life by moving to Munich.

Arnold finally in the year 1967, got recognized as the ‘Mr. Universe’. After this, he started his acting career.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies

Arnie started his acting career in 1969 by playing the title role in ‘Hercules in New York’.

Later he went on to become known for playing T-800 ‘Model 101’ in ‘The Terminator’ movies.

In the year 2019, Schwarzenegger will reprise his role of T-800 ‘Model 101’ in ‘Terminator 6’. This time, the title character will be played by Mexican-American actor Gabriel Luna, 35.

Moreover, in 2019, Arnold will play James Hook in ‘Viy 2: Journey to China’.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is also a filmmaker, investor, and philanthropist.

Arnold Schwarzenegger As A Politician

Bodybuilding and movies were not all about Arnold. He tried his hands even in politics also.

In the year 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger got the position of California’s Governor. His enormous authority and venerable status allowed him to get elected twice to the governor post of California.

This was the first case when the office was held by a non-American.  Further finally in the year 2011, Arnie left the post.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Net Worth

As discussed above, Arnold is a famous Austrian Actor, producer, businessman, investor, activist, politician, author, and of course former professional bodybuilder.

As of 2019, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s net worth is estimated to be $400 million.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Steroid Use

It’s a bitter truth that modern professional bodybuilding is almost impossible without steroids.

Athletes have been taking these drugs since the middle of the last century. And Arnold was no exception.

Arnold, the star, himself said or accepted that Yes, he took steroids.

But why he did do so, since it’s a drug that is banned in the US and there’s a strict law on its usage? Well, it’s a question which is obvious to rise in one’s mind.

Arnold’s bodybuilding era was the golden era of bodybuilding. At that time, the attitude towards steroids was much more loyal than that of now.

Moreover, as per Arnold’s Statement,

At that time people used to take steroids at a minimal amount only, which was not at all harmful

Arnie once in an interview, that steroid usage has expanded to extreme levels since his day and the emphasis has been removed from discipline:

“YOU CANNOT COMPARE WHAT WE TOOK IN THE SEVENTIES WITH WHAT THEY’RE TAKING NOW. WE WERE TAKING 15MG THEN AND THEY TAKE 1000MG OF THE SAME THING NOW. IT’S REALLY OUTRAGEOUS. IT’S JUST HUGE AMOUNTS OF DOSAGES. IT’S ONLY BECAUSE OF A LACK OF EDUCATION THAT THEY DON’T KNOW THAT IT WILL KILL THEM. WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS RELY MORE ON THE WORK. ONE OF MY SIX PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESS IS WORK YOUR ASS OFF. THERE IS NO SHORTCUT. IF YOU THINK THERE IS, YOU’RE WRONG. EVERYTHING I’VE EVER ACCOMPLISHED IN MY LIFE WAS BECAUSE I WORKED MY BUTT OFF, NOT BECAUSE I FOUND SOME SHORTCUT.”

Further, Schwarzenegger became a politician and claimed steroids were harmful to health and propagandized sport without doing so.

Nonetheless, these might be words only. The Arnold Classic tournament does not provide adequate doping control.

Here’s Arnold’s attitude towards steroids:

• In the year 1974, Arnold admitted to juicing for gaining pounds of musculature.

His words:

Women abuse contraceptives and remind those who consume steroids. I take them under the doctor’s supervision.

• In 1977, the bodybuilding star reported that he took steroids but not the pills contributed to his superiority on the stage. He ensured that the tablets assisted him in muscle mass maintenance on the low-calorie diet.
• In 1985, Arnold said in an interview, that he had never resorted to excessive dosages.
• In the year 1992, Schwarzenegger said that at the peak of his star career, he hadn’t searched for steroids in the illegal market. He said those were the times in which individuals used to visit the physician and ask for something to increase muscle volume. And the specialists used to issue appropriate recommendations, concerning taking medications.
• In 1996, Arnold once again admitted to taking ‘Juice’. Though it was a hazardous practice, he didn’t regret it at all.

Arnold, the bodybuilding star, in the year 1996, filed a lawsuit against a German doctor Dr. Willi Heepe who predicted Arnold’s premature death. As a result, the court filed the offender of 10 thousand dollars.

In the year 1997, Arnie experienced heart surgery, provoked by genetic heredity and intensive training in youth.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Workout

Though Arnold took steroids, that wasn’t enough for the body he gained. He combined his steroid usage with that of a high-level workout.

Arnie used to exercise daily with the double split program and limited nutrition.

During workout sessions in the gym, nausea, dizziness, and fainting were things that haunted Arnie.

As per Arnold words,

After the completion of the first training session, he wasn’t able to ride a bicycle to get home. Moreover, the next day, he wasn’t able to take the spoon or toothbrush. However, that was just the beginning of the ascent to Olympus.

Schwarzenegger’s dedication was absolute, desperate, unshakable, and heroic. He desired to transform his body into an accomplished piece of art badly.

Steroid Used by Arnold: ‘The Oak Cycle’

Steroid courses of that era comprised various drugs. They were mainly built in a pyramid manner and required the infrequent addition of anti-estrogen remedies.

The facts associated with Arnold’s Cycle:

• The cycle comprised of 3 main components
• The first constituent was Anadrol (Oxymetholone)
• The second element was Deca
• The third composite component was Dianabol
• Arnie besides, also practices post-cycle therapy.

So, this was all about Arnold Schwarzenegger and steroids.

From the above discussion, I think one thing is very clear now to you guys the former seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold was really on steroids in his times.

But that was legal at that time.

But Arnold Schwarzenegger now does not encourage steroid or drug usage. However, he said that he had no issues with athletes taking nutritional supplements and several other legal substances to improve their performance.
