5. Soccer Or Bodybuilding?
Arnold got into weightlifting when his soccer coach took him to the gym. Immediately intrigued, Arnold gave up the ball for the iron. He was 14 years old and began plastering his bedroom walls with images of male bodybuilders. His parents thought he was gay.
6. Chicken Legs
He used embarrassment to pump up his calves, the only muscles that stayed flat as the rest blew up. How? He cut all his pants to show off his legs. The ridicule from others fueled his leg routine. (Incidentally, his calves would later measure 20″ around.)
