A Man of Loyalty...

Clearly a force to be reckoned even during his teen-age years.

Growing up in Graz, Austria during the mid-20th century, it was expected of all Austrian citizens to serve for one year in the "Österreichisches Bundesheer" (Austrian Army) at the age of 18.  Arnold, in parallel to his invisinble reputation, of course served, and he served diligently.  During his latter-teen years, he had begun training religioulsy so he was rapidly approaching God-like physique.  Just try and imagine Arnold carrying a gun leading a brigade of highly motivated Austrians... Quite a sight.  Despite the fact that Arnold has lived in America for most of his storied-life, as a young man and still as a long-lived legend, has extremely strong-ties to his true motherland, Austria.  This is just another testament to the man's unparalled legacy and natural grace.

The Science Behind the Transformation...

I'm sure that many of you are wondering how it is Arnold became so massive, and if fact it was rather scientific.  As he was dominating the body-building industry in the 1970's, he was extremely precise and acccurate in what he ate, when he ate it, and how much.  Arnold has reported eating about 5,000 calories in order to maintain his physical form.  He ate numerous meals a day, about 3 hours apart that were highly protein-rich.  He estimated that a body builder should eat close to .5 a gram of protein per pound of body weight daily, and that has held true even to today's scientific standards.  He stressed the vital importance of consuming enough calories and carbs a day so that your muscles would have more than adequate resources to rebuiled muscles following a difficult and intense workout.  It all came down to protein in-take though, naturally.  Arnold knew that protein is what makes or breaks muscles, so he would consume extreme amounts daily. Arnold's results simply speak for themselves.
