Product Description
Product Description
Five-time Mr. Universe, seven-time Mr. Olympia, and Mr. World, Arnold Schwarzenegger is "the" name in bodybuilding.
Here is his classic bestselling autobiography, which explains how the "Austrian Oak" came to the sport of bodybuilding and aspired to be the star he has become.
"I still remember that first visit to the bodybuilding gym. I had never seen anyone lifting weights before. Those guys were huge and brutal....The weight lifters shone with sweat; they were powerful looking, Herculean. And there it was before me -- my life, the answer I'd been seeking. It clicked. It was something I suddenly just seemed to reach out and find, as if I'd been crossing a suspended bridge and finally stepped off onto solid ground."
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold shares his fitness and training secrets -- demonstrating with a comprehensive step-by-step program and dietary hints how to use bodybuilding for better health. His program includes a special four-day regimen of specific exercises to develop individual muscle groups -- each exercise illustrated with photos of Arnold in action.
For fans and would-be bodybuilders, this is Arnold in his own words.

This book is a very interesting read. Half Autobiography half gym and diet routine. If your thinking of getting into bodybuilding or just getting in the gym this is the book you need.
Format:Paperback
If your intersted in how Arnold started his body building career then this book is worth a read. The first half of the book gives a good insight as to how he got into weight training, and how he progressed into the No 1 bodybuilder in the 1960 and 1970's. What comes across most of all is the drive and determination he had to be the best he can be and indeed the best in the world at time. His account of many of the old school body builders he trained with and admired and the training methods he used to build his 250lbs body adopting the basic old sschool methods of training will hold the attention of anybody budding body builder
