The sub culture of BB was when it was it's best.Arnold was #1 and he knew it had been working in films and starting to become famous the other guys gave him heaps but the guy just look the other way as if they were not there.If Arnold taught me one thing it was it doesn't matter what Fools think.Long live the King.

great post Karen.
-
If anybody tried to piss Arnold off he would laugh out so loud the whole gym could here him and he would make them feel small.You have to know Arnold to have any idea what I am saying.The other king was Joe Gold, joe was like Arnolds dad.The two off them would spend so much time laughing.Arnold loved Joe Gold as Joe loved him.It was a sad day when Joe Gold died.
-
Awesome memories miss Karen. Thanks for sharing. When did you train around him?
-
Keep guessing.

No way, wrong there. But, I got to take a shower with Arnold plenty of times. ;D

haha good thing you chimed in here so I can ask you the same questions over and over again. ;D
1- Did you train with Arnold? I am pretty sure you already said no.
2- How was the atmosphere in the gym when Arnold was around? Did the temperature level rise?
3- Any cool or interesting things Arnold would do in the gym?
Story time my friends! Only Onlyme can get me glued to the screen with those wild and crazy detailed stories of his! ;D
-
You have no idea who I am or who I know.
and we never will.

This has all the specificity of a horoscope & sounds made-up. Now it's my turn: "Arnie was a great guy, he used to work out with Franco. Sometimes with Waller or Corney." ::)
Maybe we could hear some details from Onlyme, who was actually there...
-

Judging from your posts here, you forgot what he taught you.
-
I never trained with him but I have met him on many occasions and the man has a personality that everyone just is drawn to him and you can't help but like the guy.
I bet! did you meet him when he was younger??
-
cap thats awesome! your very lucky.
-
Dude meeting one of my idols from when I was a little kid was awesome.
I believe it! i'd be star struck...i donno what i'd say!
-
I've been fortunate enough to meet celebs and even lesser known ones are cool to meet. You have to collect yourself a bit.
I'd love to meet arnold, Lee Priest and in hollywood i'd say Nicholas Cage.
-
Lee, despite what people say on here, is one of the quietest humble people to meet in person. I would describe him as shy but cool as hell. He sent me two autographed pics personally signed after I met him. This was back when he lived in Lancaster though.
yes, I belive it, he seems really cool thats why i hope to meet him.
-
For sure do it. Hope I didn't seem like I was rubbing it in. Def the best pro to meet IMO. ;)
nono! its cool you've met quite a few people, I hope to go to Las Vegas next year for the 1st time to see the Mr. O.

GOLD'S Gym was NEVER on main Street in Santa Monica. The original Gold's was on Pacific Ave. in Venice. Then it moved to 2ND Street in Santa Monica, then to it's current location on Hampton Drive in Venice.
Arnold trained at the first location and at WORLD Gym on Main street in Santa Monica.
Know your facts when you try to make up these stories.
-
Mike Sapp, former owner of The Gym in Honolulu was one of Arnold's training partners prior to the 1980 Olympia. I have sat back and listened to many a story from Mike about the Oak, and the Barbarian brothers.
-
Saw him train at Worlds Venice (Main St & Abbott Kinney) a few times in 92'- 93'... I think. That would have been post Terminator II. All upper body stuff; dumbell presses, seated side laterals, upright rows... some bicep & triceps work. Nothing crazy. He was training with Ralph Muller a bit at the time.
In all the years at Gold's Venice, I only saw him in that gym one time. He wasn't there to train, he was just giving some friends a mini-tour.
I have seen him at Sparky's Yougurt about 50 times though.... does that count?
-

Yes, in fact it's a big part of the current regimen.

Arnold a true king among kings, I would have loved to see or train with him back in the day. I hope before he dies I get a chance to meet him and pay homage to the greatest of all time, I wouldn't know what to say but I am sure something would come to mind, I could talk for hours with him but for sure I would thank him because if not for him who knows if I would have ever gotten into weightlifting ;D
All Hail King Arnold 8)
-
I'd like to meet more Ironage BBers though. The comraderie they had would be interesting to hear about. Plus I like their physiques a bit more than modern GH freaks.
totally agree there.

Having seen it, i can assure you that he will be great to talk to, as long as (1) there are others around to force him to be friendly, and (2) the conversation's assured to be 15 seconds or less, unless you can help him with something. ;D
Minus those two things you'll be tossed aside like a piece of wet kleenex. ;D
He does nothing just for the hell of it.

Vince Basile.
hahahahaha, that penis licker never trained with the great Schwarzenegger, Arnold would have laughed his Austrian ass off if he saw Vince in the gym.
-
I guess I was lucky enough to have a different experience. Sounds pretty harsh though.
yes it does :-\

I worked as a trainer at a gym in NYC where Arnold would train when he was in town. This was the movie star Arnold. He was about 40 at the time, and weighed a pretty ripped 210.
He trained light and did sets in the 15 rep range. One exercise I remember seeing him do regularly was seated one arm tricep extensions with a 35lb dumbbell. He did a lot of work on machines: preacher curls, rows and seated bench presses.
A great guy and amazingly patient with all the people who approached him with stupid questions, which were really just an excuse to talk to him.

He always liked those 1-arm extensions. Somewhere I saw a list of his movie-set workouts and ya, reps were 15 and he had gone more in the direction of machines & cables.
That gym in NY was probably around Broadway, across from the Lincoln Center; he owned it.
By the time of big movies he knew he had to be publicly friendly. Once in a while though, there were still some episodes, stories that have never been refuted. There was the time he demanded that a Beverly Hills clothier close their store to everyone else, so that he could shop in private, then walked out much later without buying anything. ;D

It was the Vertical Club, under the 59th St. Bridge. I'm not sure which gym across from Lincoln Center you're talking about. There's the Reabok club, but that wasn't open at the time.
-
That might've been it; artice in the Times about him training on the upper west side in the gym he bought, sometime in the mid-late 90s.

Hi Adonis. We all know by now ForMotherRussia is one of your gimmick accounts... ::)
-
Came in my gym in 1968 or 1969. said as soon as he walked in no one talk to me at all during my workout.
put 180lbs on the squat bar and did really high reps sets. close to 50 the owner said. then did the same with bench pressing
-

hehehe This sounds very familar. One of his first workouts in LA he was sent over the Vince's Gym, walked in and announced "I am Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mr. Universe". Vince in classic fashion retorted "You're nothing but a fat fvck". :o

she could have just mistaken pacific for main
I mean, they are basically the same road. as anybody that knows the area, the two run the same direction and are incredibly close together- pacific is just a tiny bit further west

actually from most of what i've read about him, he comes across as a grade A asshole

Dont believe everything you read. There comes a point when it gets very annoying when you cannot take shit without some fan sniffing your asshole after. The guy prob does the best he can. he is a human and owes you nothing.

never said he owes me anything, but he actually does, seeing as how I'm a resident of California ::)
From what I've read about him, he's an egotistical, anti-semitic, racist jerk
-

The 15 women he's harassed reasonably hint at the A-hole probability. ;D
Actually anyone who didn't pick that up just from PI's a little slow.

From what I read about your mom she loves the cock to such a high degree she once was part of a 36 man 7 tranny bukakke video. ::)

Ok those with information please post more stuff. Like actual events in the gym or otherwise where Arnold would be faced with a challenge and so on. Feel free to make it as detailed as possible. :)

I defnitely don't have many Arnold stories even if I have seen him a bunch of times. Back then I did not really talk to too many of the guys unless they talked to me first. I was young and they all seemed allot older than me. Other than my training partner Ron Depolito the guy I talked to most and became friends with was Joe (Gold). I talked to Louie and I said hi to most everyone but I was a kid just there training and to watch. I really don't even remember Arnold much in the gym. I saw him more in the shower like I said than in the weight room. I think he got there earlier than me. I do remember seeing him walk across the street. I actually talked to him more and associated with him more during the Special Olympics in 86-88. Me and him hosted the first weight lifting competition at the LA Games. He might have also been on the celebrity Volleyball team too but can't remember.
Stuntmovie has allot of Arnold stories, since Arnold lived with him for awhile.
The first pick was in the VIP room. He was eating a brownie and didnt want it in the pic. The second one was when me, him and Spice Williams were signing autographs and getting our pics with the kids and parents. I had Arnold hold a sign to a kid who competed the 1st day and was in the hospital the next. His mom asked us to do this for him and she took the pic and blew it up and we signed it and she put it in his hospital room.

I first met him at an event in Los Angeles involving the LAPD and the Dodgers. I talked briefly with him there and took some pics. (I think I was in 7th grade). The next time I talked to him was at an LAPD function in Hollenbeck Division involving a Christmas toy give away. he joked with me and my dad. He told my dad that he was playing him in the Terminator. I asked him a bunch of questions about movies, such as the Terminator and True Lies. I was awestruck and asked him questions about lifting because I wanted to get serious about it at the time. He was very serious about it and gave legitimate advice to a younger kid. Don't lift heavy to start out and use free weights to get a foundation. Don't be quick to get results, be patient. He also asked me about what I wanted to do in the future as a career and took interest in it. The conversation continued like this and then there was the photo-op.
Wow thats cool man!

Wow thats cool man!
that is very cool.

My Bad it was World Gym not Golds Arnold was not in golds that I know of.I didn't like Golds way to many Clowns in that place.Good find tho You are right it was World Gym on Main.I would some time go down to Golds but only for fun.A lot of the Pros were down there.
-
On most days Arnold, Lou,Danny,Bob Paris,Zabo,Eddie G,and a few others always there.Training and joking around.Some Asian tourist would come and ask Arnold for a pic and he would ignore them but as soon as women wanted a pic he would drop everything for that pic.Arnold is Arnold love him or hate him he was the Best in his time.
-
that is very cool.
It more then cool it's cutler ;D
