Arnold The Early Years: • Arnold Schwarzenegger'... - กีฬา
Looking back it's easy to see why Arnold blew up and the sport blew up with him. The guy was extremely intelligent on top of being a chad.
He was CHAD!
What is 'chad'?
@@glynhannaford7332 See-Arnold Schwarzenegger.
@@MisterBlue80 Well, thank you for that detailed definition!
his looks didnt hurt
I came here to listen to Arnold only. And it was worth it. ALWAYS.
Thank you. I have to admit, this one was a rare find!
@Nikos Nikos Oh well.
I cameh here to listen to aaaaahhhhh-nold ohhhhnly!!!!
Tiou all those likes..
Yeah same here bruv!!
I can't believe there was a time when it was bad to be muscular and strong. Guy in the video called it envy. He was absolutely right. It's easier to mock then to put in the hard work.
I would say it still is like that, I have gotten a bunch of hate.
the thing that is really beautiful is Lizzo's portly physique
@@franz2547 Take it as a courtesy. Jealousy is the most disgusting trait of human race and they partially deep inside hate what they want to be but they can't comprehend the quarter of the procedure so they get emotional in order to express their feelings. This is required in order to keep their illusions grandeur, despite of opposite reality which is just sad to behold.
No, its not. Just bodybuilders. Fatty strongmen and ordinary muscular athletes (boxers, swimmers) was acceptable by people.
It wasnt bad to be muscular and strong, it was bad to be oiled up on stage in budgie smugglers
"some girls find it too big and are not used to it." said arnold calmly.
Oh god. F in chat for Dumbledore and Arnold
“Stahhp that’s how the body’ supposed to look like”
@@EisonDoesEverything 😂why dumbledore
Amen.
Right! 😂😂
People who talk shit on people who go to the gym are the worst. I heard one person say, “The gym is full of insecure people.” 🤡 Well at least they’re doing something to improve themselves not like people who just talk shit all the time.
Well said 👍
I agree. But they are not the worst. Prejudice people are, on a detrimental scale
@@alfjones6377 no.
@@dontletherspeak7575 hahahaha. You are just trolling. I get it ^.^. Have a nice day
@@alfjones6377
I don't get why you'd bring that up. If that's the case then what about:
Psychopaths? Rapists? Mass murderers? Tyrants?
Arnold brought bodybuilding from obscurity to the mainstream...💪
Exactly, this is one example
not arnold but weider brothers. he was just tool...
More like the Weiders brought it from obscurity and enlarged it by bringing Arnold from Austria
The Weiders were good businessmen.
But Arnold was someone you don't find a dime a dozen.
He's got that charisma, that is a major factor.
In this short interview as well.
The way he speaks, and he's right also on what he says.
@@Ve-suvius JOe Weider brought him from Austria
A lot of the guys look reasonably natural & well-proportioned too.
I believe they were
.... some roid-acne though. But in general, natural looks.
Here we go again with the "natty" B.S who cares if they are or not.Its a personal choice that shouldnt even be a topic or bother you..Gear does nothing at all without putting in animalstic work.Remember that.
If gear doesn't work, why not just stay natty then. lol
@@Simon-talks gear at actual moderate dosages say under 1 gram a week total Will only work if everything else is on point. And yes if You have never taken anything before you Will grow at first But its the same as training you can get to a 315 squat and get some results But if You keep doing that 315 for the same reps it Dont to shit for growing more muscle. You either have to up the weight or do more with 315 to grow more. And upping the weight Will very likley get you injured and meanwhile doing 315 for 20 eventually is much safer But still making progress. So yes gear works But not very Well unless you are perfect in all other aspects it just helps those things you already do work better and it lets you grow more from those things.
Arnold did for Bodybuilding what Bruce Lee did for martial arts!! Great video!!!👍
I always say that too
Arnold did for bodybuilding what Gene Kelly did for tap dancing. And what Evel Knievel did for daredevils 🙃🙃.
Yeeees Sir!!!🤓 well Said
Yep, its sucks though he isn't what people say he is!
What? Nahhh you dont know bodybuilders, he isnt the first to make it so fake.
Go do some more research
Arnold was just on whole different level, both physically and mentally.
Dude he still is truly. Even old as hell keep himself peak performance for age...crazy how his mentality always was and had a goal and advanced shit...amazing..he my favorite bro
@George Prince HAHAHAHA comon Bro...even if thats true...he completely deserves that hahaha!
He's very intelligent
That first guy had a very good structure
He was freaky good
Tons of injection spots 2
@@Lefthandrightband I too have lot of injection spots, those injection are from mosquitoes.
@@mr.nobody7258
Garlic is your friend.
@@Ve-suvius, I don't know why you said that, but luckily I don't have any mosquito related disease.
I wish I could find the video of Arnold being asked why he took up bodybuilding, and he replied (and you have to imagine his thick accent saying this) "When I was 15 years old I stood naked in front of the mirror, and realized that one part of me was way too big for the rest of me. So I took up bodybuilding to make the rest of me seem more symmetrical."
That's awesome
He told it to Johny Carson on the Tonight Show when Johny asked him what made you want to get so big?
This can't be real :))
@@usernameRika True Story he also told a story on another show how he saw an agent to get into the movies.So the agent according to Arnold told him look you have a name that is hard to pronounce and your accent is to thick and your just to big for the screen just stick with Body Building! I’m sure that agent is kicking himself everyday! I can see him drunk in a bar telling people I could have been Arnold Schwarzeneggers agent!
@@richardyoung784 haha, thanks for sharing!
Arnold on the ball, as usual. He made bodybuilding the sport it is today.
Absolutely, numero uno
@@pablomansini6449 👍👍❤
Bodybuilding today sucks, and its not Arnolds fault... just saying.
@@bondesfrang9241 Why do you feel that bodybuilding today sucks?
@@glynhannaford7332 Too much drugs, Guys are super big, growth bellys, Politics, the lack of posing skills on pro bodybuilders, bodybuilding not on TV, an average person cant relate to it. Honestly whats better in todats bodybuilding compared to the old days?
I was there as they were filming at Findlays gym in Burwood Rd Melb.. in 1975..I recognise my old buddies Peter Napoli and Don Mahony.. The man in the suit is Frank Burwash the promoter who was also a judge at the Mr Olympia in South Africa that same year..Peter McCarthy (Mr Australia 1971) was the owner of Findlays gym back then..

Wide as fuck, square chest and big legs
True that

Arnold has always been a good speaker. His words are like gravity, they kindof just pull everything in.
actually he was not :-) i saw documentary and he clearly claimed that he was shy and couldn't speak. but reg park was great speaker which was inspiring for arnold. when arnold visited reg in england reg just threw him into water one day when on some meeting after his speech he let, respectively forced arnold to speak. and arnold started to work on it. when he arrived to usa, he was already quite experienced...
@@non9886 yeah. Im sure it wasn't easy to become a confident speaker. He has always been a good speaker from everything I've heard

What a great find. Thank you for posting!
You're welcome
This is a cool retro video presentation on bodybuilding from the '70's when the sport was becoming more popular. Cool interview featuring Arnold. They were right, people did not understand the principles and disciplines of bodybuilding. They ought to understand that bodybuilding is a sport and an art, the art of human sculpture.
Back then the sport was practice by a few who understood it and loved it, now it has evolved into something else
Wow. Never seen this before. Great!
People that have worked out regularly and have built their body know that the feeling you get physically and mentally from staying on a disciplined program is what drives you, more than the looks. If you workout only for looks, it's likely you will have hard time doing it, because your looks will not change over night. You have to go through a discipline and mental change before you will even see any major change in your looks.
Awesome Video. I had never seen this interview until today. Thanks for posting!! 👊🏼✔💯🔥
Ive never seen this before. Thank you for posting it.
Arnold’s shoulder proportions are incredible. Thanks for the upload
Amazing!
Much love from Quebec, Canada
Terrific video! Thanx for posting it.
This was a very good quality video thanks for the upload mate.
Arnold, the biggest chad ever. What a gift to the world 🙏
You find the best stuff. Thank you. Really enjoyed it. Arnold was never camera shy. I wonder how many more clips of him are out there
Many
Thanks for uploading :)
Never saw any of this before, thanks for uploading.
You can tell Arnold always had a good head on his shoulders. Love to Arnold, Australia, and our only hope for a new Terminator: Baena, Arnold's Guatemalan son...from this Guatemalan!
He’s a very well read and extremely intelligent individual
Was that his love child with the housekeeper? Lol
@@RestingBeachFace721 Baena is the child with the housekeeper, yes. Arnold is human just like us; he makes mistakes just like us. Baena has proven to be an awesome kid and Arnold even more so for recognizing and supporting him. Try to be a better human being, brother; it really isn't that hard.
@@erwino8618 but with the housekeeper. C'mon.
@@RestingBeachFace721 Arnold is still the man. Who are we to question him. Imagine someone calling you out on some mistake you made. Shit, dude, I know I am far from perfect.
WOW. Arnold looked and speeched fantastic...... huge charisma....👍👍👍
Good posting
I was under the impression the word narcissist was more commonly used after the millennium. Seeing him say it in 1975 made me realize that Arnold was truly way ahead of his time.
Gotta read more budda
Comes from Narcissus. Narcissus was a Greek god who feel in love his his reflection in a pool of water. The flower Narcissus is named for him.
I think it’s pretty obvious Arnie is a narcissist, takes one to know one. Still respect the guy
Arnold says once that nobody would name a runner a narcissist bec he asked someone about his running time.
How am i looking? Oh, how narcisstic.
How fast i was?
Youre 11,02! So great!
This video is still relevant, and it's true what was said about others feeling jealous about others physique and lashing out happens indirectly in different ways, attitude, name calling etc, and that's specially true with people with an inflated ego, it hurts them.
3:10 this guys back is underrated
Great video!
Awesome video bro! Arnold is the man! 👊😎
Arnold was in a way more articulate a couple of years after learning English, than 20+ years after learning English.
His brain aged 🤷♂️👴🏻
He's a fine athlete, and so well spoken. he's going places. I mean we're rich, but he's Schwarzenegger rich.
(Excerpt from the Dave Chappelle's show)
Arnold is one of the most consistent greats. Flawless.
Wow cool ass old school interview! Thanks for the upload!
On the set of the movie predator the cast said Arnold was so much down to earth and like them even though he was ahead of them Arnold would not accept special treatment whatever the cast went through he went through phenomenal class act
Thank you Arnold for all that you did and still doing for bodybuilding... your my favorite bodybuilder and my favorite action movie star🧔
Great video mate! I have always admired your virtue and vision for the truth to be out and I appreciate the hard work you put into your channel! Not everyone has true, pure content as his. Very informative, educational, motivational and helps a ton! Thank you man GOD bless 💟🙌😘😘🌼
You're welcome
Wow brilliant video 🙏🏻💪🏻
Totallly awesome video ! 😎👍
Arnold has always been exceptionally bright and intelligent. Even when he's young. As sad as it is, he simply cannot be with us longer after all these years and with the regime...I'm talking chemical, etc that he needed to do to get to that level...in the 70s... He's literally on borrowed time. Which sucks because he was the man when I was a kid. The biggest Male star on the planet. People seemingly expect him to be here forever. But soon, one of these days he won't be. Like Stallone, the world and definitely entertainment won't be the same place. Especially for guys that work out, every guy...every single guy that works out or has worked out looks up to or is a fan of Arnold. Period. Imagine when he is gone how much love is gonna be coming his way. I wish people treasured this guy and his influence more while he is alive.
What are you talking about? Arnold’s 75. He retired in 1975 and the age of 28.
@@vinceyoung5912 he actually came back and won again.
I know that
Everyone loves Arnold
@@theostgard6212 he only won because the judges were biased in favour of Arnold
Interesting find. I think I saw this interview once before with Arnold at his prime. This was at the same time Sergio Oliva was busy making the movie “El Poder Negro” while going into the WBBG.
Haha, sounds about right
This is super random but I met the interviewer in France a couple of years ago, he told me about when he worked for the ABC and that he interviewed arnold in the bodybuilding days. I remember I looked for the interview but couldn’t find it and then today it pops up on my recommended
That’s hilarious
Thx for Arnold very rare interviu
It's impressive how good he speak english, seriously. He was a very smart guy in that time and he knew exactly what he does.
He still a very smart guy
It’s funny cause some ppl still believe that muscles can turn to fat 😂
Only old dumb people
all they are trying to say is you lose muscle and gain fat... but are unable to articulate that or don't understand how the end result comes about.. but the end result still comes about - if you stop training and eating will you get weak and fat automatically as if your muscle turned to fat.
So the arguement is that if you will lose it all - then why look buff temporarily and not work on something which will stand after you die - like building an estate ;) . Do you see? Men who were about being successful thought long term and found that playing at being a body builder for a while is a waste of time - it only wasn't a waste of time for Arnold because he used it to get into movies and launch a career that outlasts body building.
Have they like never been in a biology class? Lmao
@@agnidas5816 no, some people are actually convinced that muscle turns into fat
@@AndreaAustoni his point is, it’s irrelevant what they believe as the end result is the same. If you stop training whilst continuing to eat, your muscles will atrophy and you will gain fat. For all intents and purposes, the muscle has turned into fat, at least it has been replaced by fat
PURE GREAT VIDEO FROM THE GREATEST
Pretty interesting to see Australia in its early stages of starting a bodybuilding competition.
Also Arnold Schwarzenegger talking about his time there as a bodybuilder seemed to be some good insight into the area there as well
Some girls say “it’s too much, it’s too big” I get that too Arnie
_That’s what she said_
Excellent upload sir💪👍
Thanks
Just found this gem of a channel. THIS IS THE SUBGENRE I NENER KNEW I WAS LOOKING FOR. TAKE MY CAPSLOK!
One thing is for sure, you 'll never hear about any bodybuilder doing any harm or being a threat to public order. They are 100 percent dedicated people who have to stick to their game all of the time.I' ve come across a few and they seemed to be very quiet and very humble people who just do their own thing. That can't be said about boxers who have to be violent.
Great development for nine months of working out.
No kidding. Must have been in good shape before.
Decent genetics, diet full of eggs and meats 🍖 during childhood and adolescence along with being active in sports from a young age is all that's needed for a good natural build.
@@michaelangelo5783 It's good to finally read a comment that's decent and not ignorantly stating "roids roids roids".
@@rufusgreenleaf2466
Right. I think the people who always yell roids are those who've never really given proper diet, proper lifting (mind muscle connection I see so many people in the gym lacking) and sleep 110% for more than a month at a time...or they unfortunately have horrible genetics or improper development due to growing up on Ramen and hot Cheetohs.
He was a cop after all. So, probably athletic already before starting
Well heres the proof that Arnold spoke perfect english even back then and that the reason he kept his thick accent is because of showbusiness.
*then
But you are totally right!
@@oscarahlke1585 then* ty I keep messing it up
His accent was/is perfect for Terminator
A linguist once told me that it is difficult to lose your accent after 19. Basically if u move to a new country and learn a new language at 20 it'll be hard to lose your accent. I noticed this woth friends of mine who migrated around that age
Thanks for this man! Really good! Keep up the good content! 👍💪
thanks for that!
This must of been back when he still valued freedom.
💯👊🏼
Funny how now, 45 years later, my Gf is making fun of me for exactly the same things Arnold is describing back 1975 :) Some mentality never change.
Bons tempos... 2022 e 2050 ainda será muita inspiração...
I have never seen this Arnold video. Great find!
Not 1975. It was in 1974 when he went to Australia in the off-season summer before the 1974 Olympia. He did guest posing there in the Southern Hemisphere contest. He was at his peak at that point.
You're probably right, but the ABC states it was 1975...which doesn't make sense
@@GoldenEraBookworm Cool. Cheers. For most of 1975, he was walking around at 209 lbs as he was doing the "Stay Hungry" movie and then decided to do the 1975 Olympia just 3 months before the contest because of the "Pumping Iron" movie. 1974 was his best year as he hit his career peak. Got huge in off-season and then shredded down to 248 lbs for the 1974 Olympia. Cheers!
@@GoldenEraBookworm Nowadays nothing ABC says makes any sense!
Thank you TH-cam algorithm for recommending this ✔
Wow I never thought this channel existed
Awesome interview
Wow ! Gold!
Arnold is an absolute chad
always has been
You could tell Arnold was just different. The way he speaks and uses the english language is sophisticated. The way he structures what he says shows he is smart. Definitely a one in a million in a world of meat heads. And that is why he stands out.
Omg we’ve come a long way!
Body builders dedication is second to none!! R.I.P Luke Sandow!
Arnold's command of English almost seems better back then than now.
He had speech training to maintain his accent as its part of his image, you wonder why he never lost it during his decades in america.
This was a great find. He goes into woman not totally hating muscles also about how certain men think working out is for gay guys. Which some still think that. He puts intelligence to what he does. Not some dumb meat head as people probably thought he was at the time.
Working out is for gay guys?
Thanks
It's unbelivable to see what impact on our sport had! He was way ahead of his time! What a smart businessman!
What a unique human. Almost doesn't seem human, too godlike.
Arnold the OG Chad....
When Arnold starts with bodybuilding he was a millionare. Some people forget this fact.
Arnold's English was awesome back then, years later he was back to his Austrian accent... Uh oh,,geth toh da thoppah.. 🤣😂 But he's still my favorite in action movies and the inspiration for the bodybuilding
It's unbelievable that people think muscles turn to fat if you stop working out. During basic training, I was not allowed to go to the gym the first 4 weeks, so I lost about 19 lbs of mostly muscle, but because we were running a lot, I stayed lean, if anything, I got leaner. If you stop working out and stop all kinds of physical activity, then yes, you will lose some muscle and gain fat, so, to the ignoramus, it may look like the muscle is turning into fat.
I've had to hammer this home to my dad lol. The reason people think this is because when people stop working out, they don't adjust their caloric intake to suit the decrease in physical activity so they enter a caloric surplus and this gain fat
That's Arnold at his biggest right after the 74 Olympia.
Train like this. Broke my back powerlifting and now I have another 50 years of pain to look forward to until I die.
Then your introduced to gear..The game changer .I LOVED IT..DBOL WITH SUSTENON AND SOME ANAVAR..I FELT INDESTRUCTABLE
It was Stallone who got me going to the gym because Rambo's physique seemed possible (it wasn't). Arnold just seemed like a god...
I'm old school - Frank Zane was my idol when I was in early 20s.
He was obviously focused and driven from a young age. His remarkable work ethic sets an example to all of us; very few people rise to the top of one profession, never mind 3 like Arnold. A damned shame his being born outside the US precluded him from running for President of the country he loves.
Arnold did bodybuilding to get in Hollywood movies. He retired with contest in a very young age. But, im happy he didn't stop with bodybuilding because movies needed his muscles. He made a lot of money like Sylvester Stallone with his muscles.
Amo su canal!!! Tendría que subtitular en castellano 😥
Arnold came to US when he was 18, assuming he didn't know English until then... here he speaks better than native english speakers. This is why he is a legend.
I understand what he is saying but most body builders at least in media and the ones I encounter are completely narcissistic and Arnold himself was definitely no exception. I'm a fan but many people over the years have said unflattering things about him and I admit I'm sure many were jealous it happens to everyone on top.
Hoping GBW will interview Arnold one day!
Thanks to Gregg I am able to find this gem
Mi ex used to say that I’m a narcissist bc I used to look me in the mirror some times.
I dumped her ass.
It makes me angry until this day, only we know the grind, the struggle o bodybuilding, even more if you’re a natural bodybuilder. All the sacrifices, all the hard work. Meeen
1975??...Ah yes indeed, but just wait until you see another body-builder from Australia, "A blond myth" he shall be named, then you will behold a physique truly worthy of remembrance, there but 3 years old.
In time however you shall never forget the name, Lee Priest.
Thank u Arnold
2:35.
He did exactly that😂.
On numerous occasions.
Nevertheless the man lived a life that was amazing.
Best bodybuilder in my eyes ever.Dude had the whole package.
Looks,body and charisma.Never will be anyone like him again.
