Five-time Mr. Universe, seven-time Mr. Olympia, and Mr. World, Arnold
Schwarzenegger is the name in bodybuilding. Here is his classic
bestselling autobiography, which explains how the "Austrian Oak" came to
the sport of bodybuilding and aspired to be the star he has become.I
still remember that first visit to the bodybuilding gym. I had never
seen anyone lifting weights before. Those guys were huge and
brutal....The weight lifters shone with sweat; they were powerful
looking, Herculean. And there it was before me--my life, the answer I'd
been seeking. It clicked. It was something I suddenly just seemed to
reach out and find, as if I'd been crossing a suspended bridge and
finally stepped off onto solid ground. Arnold shares his fitness and
training secrets--demonstrating with a comprehensive step-by-step
program and dietary hints how to use bodybuilding for better health. His
program includes a special four-day regimen of specific exercises to
develop individual muscle groups--each exercise illustrated with photos
of Arnold in action. For fans and would-be bodybuilders, this is Arnold
in his own words.
