His dad was apolice officer and was considered a nazi. He was mostly with him mom most of the time and proved to be a strong willed person. Arnold had hardly any family. When he turned 12 he had his first job. This helped support his family. It wasn't until he was about 14 that Arnold started lifting weights.

Mature Teenager

Arnold was strong as teenager and helped out his family. He started lifting weights in his early teens and soon joined the army at the age of 18. But there was a problem. His army service was interfering with his dream to become the most built man. So he then went AWOL in order for him to enter, and eventually win the Mr. Junior Europe Competition. His life soon became lifting weights and he built a massive physique. People everywhere stared at him in awe. Back then there wasn't too many really built people, but Arnold was just mind boggling. A few years later, Arnold would set foot in the United States, having no idea of his amazing life set in front of him.

His 20's through 40's

Arnold finally reached his goal of clearing 6 foot. This is when Arnold finally set foot in the USA in 1968. He was already setting his mark. This was when Arnold became extreme with bodybuilding . He won the Mr. Olympia and then proceeded to win six more of these titles. He then realized he had pretty much fulfilled his dream of becoming the best built man. So he started to pursue his movie career. He starred in movies such as Hercules in New York and Pumping Iron. Arnolds body was so built and perfected that almost every director wanted him to play a role in their movie, whether it be a body builder or even Hercules! But Arnolds career was just beginning. For when he was in his early to late forties, Arnold blasted off his movie career.
