Schwarzenegger
“Just like in bodybuilding, failure is also a necessary experience
for growth in our own lives, for if we’re never tested to our limits,
how will we know how strong we really are? How will we ever
grow?” – Arnold Schwarzenegger”

Early life
The relationship between Arnold and his brother and father was very toxic. The father
punched and frightened him, and also turned the brothers against each other. According
to Schwarzenegger’s memories, the atmosphere in the house was very tense. But every
cloud has a silver lining. Arnold was pretty close with his mother Aurelia. He loved her so
much. When she passed away in 1998, his world just collapsed…

Use basic exercises with free weights
Gradually increase the activity
Follow the ideal technique of performing exercises regardless of the weight taken
Recognize your weaknesses and work on them
Find a strong training partner
P.s. The bodybuilder himself liked to give advice on training, nutrition and performances. At
the same time, he was very fond of joking and often the advice was harmful. Unfortunately,
not everyone understood this and many began to use it to their own detriment.
