“Arnold Schwarzenegger is the dominant figure in physical culture of our time. He came to own weight-lifting to such an extent that, because he is a bodybuilder, most people refer to all forms of weight training as bodybuilding, even though that’s no more accurate than referring to all forms of music as the waltz. Schwarzenegger also came to own the concept of muscle. So, if you have even a passing interest in contemporary physical culture, or particularly in weight training and muscle, Arnold’s memoir is a must-read. The book is funny, it’s candid. It is full of practical information. A lot of the best-known people in physical culture learned to lift weights by reading this book. It still serves as a good guide for an absolute beginner and it’s a great refresher for advanced lifters, too.” Read more...
