Yes and I'm suprised any getbigger complains about his methods. Arnold freely admits back in those days it was all about him, everything he did was to get where he is, he acheived every goal he had. His old girlfriend barbara outland knew pretty soon she was on arnolds ride and that was it, he told her he'd be governor of california in the 70's, that's how driven his is. People can sit moaning about him making mike mentzer break down or upset zane but as arnold himself said you aren't in competition to make friends. He ignored everyone saying he couldn't do this or that and gained everything he wanted.
Yes he's done some shitty things like cheating on maria but there's no saints in this world no matter how much Steve reeves may have seemed like the perfect gentleman or Roger Walker a standup guy there are faults in everyone.
Arnold gives back to bodybuilding and everyone that's been there along the way living the high life while we all sit typing on a message board, funny really.
Most people are losers, lacking belief in themselves. They point to others as a source of their own shortcomings. Guys like Arnold whom are driven and obsessed with goals and very competitive are often cited as evil. They are perceived as evil by those whom are losers and lack the traits required to be as relentless. I can admire guys like Arnold. I understand how they operate, cold,calculating, cutt throat. People will say he stepped on toes blah blah blah. The haters are afraid to do what it takes to win, conquer goals. Yet if those accomplishment where merited to them they would be happy, even though they did not earn them through the fight it takes to actually achieve them.same way they made participation trophies for kids who did not earn anything through winning. Weak minded people will always accept a trophy not earned yet vilianise those that earned it the hard way. Fuck weak minded people that act this way.
