His parents were Gustav Schwarzenegger - and Aurelia Schwarzenegger, nee of Yadarni - they got married on October 20, Gustav was 38 years old, Aurelia was the older brother Mainhard born on July 17.

The family was a Catholic religion and visited the church every Sunday. Arnold was baptized as Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger. During the war, he served in Feljandarmeriy, where he received the rank of Gauptfeldepubel to the senior sergeant. After the war, Gustav was allowed to work as the chief of the local ... police, since there was no evidence of his war crimes. The family lived poorly; One of the most striking memories of youth Schwarzenegger calls the purchase of a refrigerator.

Arnold had a difficult relationship with the family, because for Austro-German parents it was more important to subordinate the generally accepted rules than the personality of the child. In protest, the young Schwarzenegger always wanted to become rich and famous. Under the influence of his father, Arnold began to engage in football, but at the age of 14 he preferred a career as a bodybuilder.

He was inspired by such well-known bodybuilders as Reg Park, Steve Reeves, and an athlete-pier Johnny Weismuller, whom he often saw in the cinema. He studied daily in the Libenauer gym in Graz; Although the club did not work on Saturdays and Sundays, Arnold still studied on weekends, climbing through the window along the ladder. During this period, Schwarzenegger practiced the reception of anabolic steroids.

Arnold did not appear at the funeral. Also, Schwarzenegger did not come to the funeral of his father a year later. Arnold’s army service at the age of 18 was drafted into the Austrian army for 1 year, where he received a military specialty of the driver of the tank. The future Governor of California received this position, despite the fact that people aged 21 were usually appointed in the Austrian army.

Only in the army, for the first time, Arnold began to eat meat every day. He took part in the Mr. Europe contest among juniors and won it; For the sake of the competition, he went to the “Samovolka”, after which he enters a military prison for two months according to other sources - for two weeks to guardhouse. Schwarzenegger himself writes in his book “The Education of the Capitalist” that he was sitting in Kartsere for one week, after which he was given a two -day vacation, as the officers considered that his victory brought some prestige of the army.

Contrary to common opinion, this performance was not a debut; The debut took place two years earlier at a lesser -known competition in Graz, where Arnold took second place. As the future governor of California later said, he was able to find time and place for training even during tactical exercises, when he lived in the field for several weeks. He equipped a bar from improvised materials and kept it in a tank.

I achieved great progress at the initial stage of my training when I served in the Austrian army and had a lot of things. When we participated in the maneuvers along the Czechoslovak border for six weeks, I had to drive a tank for fifteen hours a day, roll up the fuel with a manual pump, “fight” with huge fuel barrels and engage in repair. We slept in the trenches or under tanks and had to get up at six in the morning.

However, my friend and I got up at five, climbed into the compartment for tank tools in which we stored their rods, and to the general rise trained for an hour. After the day of the day of the exercises, we trained another hour. I can not imagine more difficult conditions for training and therefore claim that finding time and effort for classes is a matter of motivation and interest.

A real athlete will always, in any situation, will find time and place for training. At the same time, as he subsequently admitted, he was not an ideal soldier, and once drowned his tank. Describing his service in the army, Arnold in an autobiography tells how impatience he was waiting for the order of the officers to proceed with physical training, and calls the main result of the service a significant increase in muscle mass.

The move to Munich after the army moved to Munich in the year, where he worked in a fitness club. During this period, he lived well, for some time he had to sleep on the floor in the gym, until he was able to rent an apartment. As Arnold himself mentions in autobiography, at that time he behaved extremely aggressively, entering into fights almost every day and collecting fines for violations of traffic rules; He writes: "I was like a bull that went for his meat." After some time, he began to lead the gym himself, but at the same time he had a lot of debts.

Such a result was a surprise to himself; Arnold initially counted on no more than the sixth to seventh place. In the year he won this title.By his own admission, at that time he did not own English and talked with a strong accent, which created difficulties for him. According to Arnold, moving to the United States was his dream from 10 years old. At the end of the 10th - beginning of the 10ths, he is in the country illegally, violating the conditions of his visa.

In the Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding, Arnold writes: “I was a capable student. I approached the judges and asked what, in their opinion, I did wrong. " He learned a lot from his "colleagues in the workshop", including from his idol Yuri Vlasov after a personal acquaintance.

Stressed work brought numerous victories; A special place in his career is victory at the Mr. Olympia contest in the year; She became an unexpected return after a five -year break. During the absence of Schwarzenegger, due to the growth of bodybuilding popularity, competition in competitions has increased significantly.

His problem was originally too much muscular mass, looking unnatural for the cinema, and a strong German accent, because of which it was necessary to avoid long complex dialogs.

For a number of films, Arnold had to significantly reduce weight. He takes acting lessons and tries to get rid of the accent. The director of the “predator” John Mactirnan notes: “This guy is capable: they said that it would take at least twenty battles to work with him, and there are three or four of them. He learns quickly. " Subsequently, Schwarzenegger calls his most unloved work in the cinema, Hercules in New York.

Critics say that the acting of the Iron Arnie leaves much to be desired, and it avoids long complex dialogs; comedian Robin Williams notes that "there are fewer words than Arnold Schwarzenegger, only the Scottish collie Lessi said." In an effort to get away from the image of a reinforced concrete killer who pronounces five or six phrases for the entire film, Arnold begins to star in comedy films.

For some of them, including for the very first, “twins” a year, he does not ask any fee at all, limiting himself to sales interest. The comedy "The Last Cinema" becomes Arnold's parody of himself and his image of the "Terminator".

In the year, the long -awaited sequel “Terminator Washing Machines” is released, after which the summer Arnold leaves the film industry.
