the majority do, don't get me started on math :) I wanted to know how old Arnold was because Im always wanting to know what it was like for pros when they were 20 ish. mags never seem to cover much on that time but i would like to know how most of them got started, did 19 year old Arnold party?? or was he at home eating Tuna.

Arnold did anything he wated pretty much. He was forced to join the army but because of his father they made an exception for Arnold to become a tank operator(he was too young and too tall). He excaped at night to go and win junior mr. Europe. When he got back he got locked in jail but then they promoted him to hero status and made him train his ass off all day. Arnold was 18 at the time. Then there are stories of him entering beer halls and he would constantly get challenged by others but he was himself a bully. He would get into fights all the time but wisened up when he visited Reg Park in south africa and learned to use his aggression in the gym instead.
