Arnold also revealed that his father was a hard-working and diligent man who taught him and his siblings to always ?be useful.? In the published article, there was also an excerpt from the new book that read, ?There were no free passes in Gustav Schwarzenegger?s house. No free meals either.

Despite having a love-hate relationship with his father, the two-word advice proved to be the best lesson in the bodybuilder’s life.
