This outrageous coole picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger is a classic photo of the “Austrian Oak” from his competitive-best bodybuilding years of 1974-1975, taken on Venice Beach next to the original Golds Gym.
De 27-jarige Heroe of Muscle, hier in the middle of his first career. Vele zullen nog volgen. Na zevenvoudig Mr. Olympia - ten tijde van deze pic nog schön 5-facher Mr. Olympia -, volgde Hollywoods bestbetaalde ster en daarna ‘governator’ van ’s werelds op vijf na grootste economieën; Californië. At this moment - we talk about his vierde incarnatie! - manifesteert our Arnold zich als true goeroe via de socials.
Arnold Schwarzenegger. He’ll be back? He never left.

Arnold Schwarzenegger (July 30, 1947, Thal, Austria) was the second son of local police chief. His father showed a marked preference for his older brother, Meinhard, and treated Arnold harshly. Against his father’s wishes, he developed an interest in bodybuilding as a teenager. At 20, he became the youngest ever Mr Universe, after that he moved to the US in 1968, where he found work in a few low- budget films.

Schwarzenegger: “The only way to be a champion is by going through torture and pain. Pain makes me grow. Growing is what I want. Therefore, for me pain is pleasure.” 
Hopsakeetje, weer een wijsheid van Arnoldus om mooi plekje te geven in je mind.
