Legend Arnold Schwarzenegger has always been somewhat of an overachiever in life. He excelled in most professions he pursued and never looked back on his past mistakes. One crucial driving factor was his intellectual powers. The former athlete is perenially focused and aware of his actions. Thus, even taking his positive corner on the internet Arnold Pump?s Club quite seriously, he often asks for feedback from his readers.?

Therefore, the latest installment of his newsletter featured a reply from a subscriber describing his fitness objectives ahead of his wedding. The note, in turn, encouraged a fascinating memory from Arnold?s prime around 48 years ago. The athlete once made a bizarre confession to his co-athlete Lou Ferrigno ahead of the 1975, Mr. Olympia that ended up being true.?

According to the newsletter, the 76-year-old athlete displayed few interesting replies from readers on his newsletter under the ?Question and Optimism? category. Thus, the foremost feedback was from an enthusiast soon to be married in November. Arnie congratulated him and supported him in achieving his fitness goals.?

While highlighting that the wedding is ?more important?, the former bodybuilder asked the reader to pre-write his achievement update just like Arnie once did for himself. ?Or if you want to get really crazy like me, write it up now,? he wrote in the newsletter. Implying the significance of envisioning one?s goals, the Austrian Oak recalled a striking memory of Pumping Iron.?

Arnie revealed in the newsletter, ?the way in Pumping Iron everyone thinks I am a little crazy for telling Lou I?d already won the Olympia the day before the contest.? In the documentary, the star athlete had told ?The Incredible Hulk’ actor and bodybuilder, Lou Ferrigno, that he had already won the 1975 Mr. Olympia a day before the event. While Arnie was evidently not telling the truth at that point, he did manifest it into reality. The 1975 Mr. Olympia was expected to be his last show in the sport but the athlete concluded his career after winning the 1980 contest. Similarly, the pro once reflected back on another aspect of his life.?

Arnold Schwarzenegger found positivity in his father?s negativity?

Arnold never really shared a positive bond with his father, Gustav Schwarzenegger. Born to a police chief in a war-stricken Austria, the star athlete recalls having a rough childhood.

However, the bodybuilding icon once reflected back on these experiences with a positive connotation.?

The former Governator reminisces his father?s great advice on being useful, based on which he launched his latest book, Be Useful: Seven Tools For Life. The athlete said, ?He always talked about being useful and don?t waste your time and just looking at yourself in the mirror in a bodybuilding gym so he meant well.??
