Chet owned Arnold, especially in the calves and thighs.
In "Education of a Bodybuilder" Arnold said he thought he had won the show, and did not even realize how close it was, and was shocked when he took second.
But Arnold said Chet was "polished", had the awesome calves, knew how to pose, could "twist his upper body so it made his waist appear very small".
Arnold knew he had to get to Gold's Gym in So. Aal at that very moment, and his dream was to come to America-and Joe Weider made that dream happen.
