Title: This is why Arnold Schwarzenegger is a true Icon!
Post by: Big N on November 20, 2011, 09:06:16 PM
This isn't just about him winning bodybuilding shows, but the unique hardwork that he's had to this day is what makes him stand out whether it'd be in bodybuilding, movies, politics, education or business investments. Anyway, a very well put biography so enjoy  8)

The man has been a true fraud all of his life. If you look up to that, so be it.

Well, he has succeeded in many realms. Whether anyone thinks hes a fraud or not is irrelevant.

Funny how 99% of people who were born poor and become rich and successful through hard work are conservative. Funny too how many born to money and rarely had to work are liberal. Things that make you go hmmmm.

And 99 percent of people born poor that are still poor are democrats.

What a surprise the only people that are for a open economy are those that have directly profited from it.  ::)

Funny isnt it, those that are still poor align themselves with the party they think is going to give them the most handouts. Thanks for pointing out the obvious, dummy.

Arnold is not a true "embassador of bodybuilding"

The fact that he keeps saying that he got in to bodybuilding as a way (ticket)  to become a Hollywood star really pisses me off.... you dont win 7 Fucking Olympia just to have your way to the movies!


Everytime there's a Biography or a "mainstream interview" he says that since he was a kid all he wanted was to be on the big screen and he used BB as a tool to get there.

But when comes March he goes to Columbus Ohio to brag  about his "true love,dream,goal  and passion bodybuilding" .....

Lee Haney wanted to be the best Bodybuilder when he was a kid, and won 8 sandows and is VERY PROUD of his acomplishments in our little "sport" ... who cares if Sly,"Arnold" or even Vin Diesel are more famous?

If you think fishing or playing pocker is better than being a Bodybuilder champ so be it, just be true to yourself,your passion and your roots.



WOOOSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

There was a lot of mistakes in that video, they change the story to suit what they want.

Arnold just had bigger dreams than lifting weights and living poor until he was 70.

Whatever he stated early on he wanted to be like reg park bodybuilder/actor, Im pretty sure he had no interest in doing shakespear if you get my drift. He proved you dont need to be a one trick pony which was the best way to grow the sport.

Does someone that played in the nfl get called a sell out when he starts coaching, no hes simply going to the next logical step.

No mention of the time he spent in London (2 years?) before heading to the USA. It was farmboy in Austria straight to California according to the film.  The American media distorting the facts to present the American dream in the best light.

And that is exactly why he's not such thing as an honest man let alone a "true embassador of the sport"

I think you're missing the concept here. I'm not trying to portray the man's negativity and personal issues. If that's the case then lets start from the presidential level and trickle down to your local janitor. Bottom line, he's selfmade and all about hard work which is what I respect.

I still don't think we're getting the truth of who Arnold really is/was. His Nazi bloodline and the Weider Gewish connection may be a lot more interesting then we are lead to believe.

He's generally been at 14% but for The Terminator and Terminator 2 he was at 8%. This according to his commentary on Terminator 3. That is all.  ;D

you guys want something real inspiring? follow the link and watch the video. it's an interview with arnold in the seventies, and jump to 7:00.

http://archives.cbc.ca/arts_entertainment/film/clips/16238/

he totally OWNS the interviewer. like no other bodybuilder could.

the sad thing is that you can't argue like he does anymore with todays look in bb.

If they make a full-length movie about his life they can call it "Touched by a Weider".

Interesting, i'm sure much of it is true, but it is just a blatant attack by the Democrat party who were pissed Arnold lost them Ohio in the 1988 election and they feel cost them the whole election. So you can't really believe it all.

I see, so you're saying that Joe Weider helped his movie career, his marriage and also become the governor? Again I'm not defending Arnold as the "god" of whatever, the whole point was that I respect his hard work. Do you know how many lazy people there are in America that keep setting us back into stone age.
