Happy Birthday To AH-nold
| Sixty-two years of the Austrian Oak. Schwarzenegger may have had the greatest impact on changing the direction of fitness and motivating more people to workout than anyone in the last half century. Sure bodybuilders are pumped with steroids and produce a physique |  |
that most people would raise their brow at but their hard work, self-discipline, and dedication in the weight room can be appreciated by all. Without these guys exercising to the beat of a different drum we all might be performing an exercise routine from a typical gym class in the 50s. Reading Arnold’s Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding in High School gave me a great knowledge base on proper nutrition and correct exercise technique. Watching him terminate or pump iron on film always gives me the itch to sprint to the gym. Now he’s giving back to the people as the Governator of California. Here are a few videos to celebrate his 62nd year of being the remarkable Arnold.
The Good – Motivational…
The Bad – Hysterical…
The Ugly – Multilingual…
Add some fun & variety to your workout today by performing one set of Arnold Presses in order to honor the Austrian Oak.

Arnold’s impact on fitness is/was monumental. I think bodybuilders would still be on the circus circuit bending steel bars if it wasn’t for him.
Love your first pic although I’m pretty confident it was from Predator and not Commando.
