Joe Weider’s Muscle June 1979 issue

Larawang Tribiya

          Si Arnold Schwarzenegger ang pinakabatang nagwagi ng titulong Mr. Olympia, sa edad na 23-anyos, noong 1970. Noong 1975 matapos magwagi ng ikaanim na beses sa Mr. Olympia, kung saan tinalo niya si Lou Ferrigno, sinabi niyang magreretiro na siya sa bodybuilding. Noon namang 1980, dahil sa masigasig na pagsasanay na ginagawa niya para sa kaniyang papel sa pelikula bilang Conan, napanatili ni Schwarzenegger ang maganda niyang pangangatawan at nagdesisyon siyang muling lumahok sa Mr. Olympia. Muli siyang nagwagi sa ikapitong pagkakataon.

          Sa pelikula, una siya lumabas sa Hercules in New York (1969) kung saan ginamit niya ang screen name na Arnold Strong.

          Nag-auditioned si Schwarzenegger para sa television series na The Incredible Hulk (1978-1982) pero hindi siya natanggap dahil kulang siya sa tangkad (wala pa siyang 6’2”). Si Lou Ferrigno na may taas na 6’5” ang nakakuha ng role.

          Noong 1979, lumabas siya sa dalawang pelikula, sa The Villain (sa papel na Handsome Stranger) kasama sina Kirk Douglas (Cactus Jack) at Ann-Margret (Charming Jones) at sa Scavenger Hunt (sa papel na Lars) na pinagbidahan nina Richard Benjamin at James Coco.
