I always wanted to know more about what went into Arnold's approach to bodybuilding, outside of what I learned from Pumping Iron. I stumbled across this book at the bookstore the other day, and read it from cover to cover, almost without putting it down.
I have never read a more motivational bodybuilding book in my life. Arnold really lays out what it takes for someone to become a champion, not only in life, but in the world of bodybuilding. His dedication to the sport was phenominal, and with his extremely strong mind and will, was able to become the greatest bodybuilder that ever lived.
The bulk of this book is from when Arnold is 15 to about 21. The rest of it briefly goes over the years 21+, and diet and training protocols. I was more intregued by the up and coming Arnold bodybuilder. There are some great stories in there, such as doing 35 sets of Squats out in the woods, then getting drunk on wine and beer afterwards. Then having the bright idea to bring girls out there with them the next time to cook and to have them to make love to. Man, Arnold is classic!!

This book was written in the late 1970's. Arnold had just retired from competitive bodybuilding ( though he would have 1 more go at it in 1980's Mr. Olympia).He was a rising star, well known but nowhere near as famous as today. This book is 2 halves. The first half is his autobiography. He talks not just about how he got into musclebuilding, but also his family, his time in the Austrian Army, his goals, his love life,etc. The second half is a how to guide for muscle building. Not bad but needed some work. For instance he lays out a diet to gain weight but doesn't give a plan to lose weight ( other than some basic don't eat junkfood,etc.). Also there wasn't enough about strength training. Still, it's worth it, just to see how he was then.
Great and Detailed December 26, 2006
