Arnold Schwarzenegger: From Austria to the World

By Rachael Gray

In the world of bodybuilding, where he outclassed his rivals, Schwarzenegger was known as the Styrian Oak, or Austrian Oak. In 1967, he took home the amateur Mr. Universe crown. He won three more Mr. Universe titles and the professional Mr. Olympia title six years in a row (1970-75) before retiring after relocating to California in 1968 to train and participate in bigger competitions in the United States. He shocked the bodybuilding community by entering the ring once again to win the Mr. Olympia title in 1980. In the meantime, Schwarzenegger followed his boyhood ambition of becoming an actor. Schwarzenegger performed the lead in his debut movie, Hercules in New York (1970), but a different actor was brought in to dub his dialogue. The famous documentary Pumping Iron (1977), which led to his leading part in Conan the Barbarian (1982), was the first time Schwarzenegger's inherent charm and wit truly showed through
