Arnold Schwarzenegger, the legend who completely revolutionized the world of bodybuilding, has been an idol for several young athletes. From inspiring people with his exceptionally aesthetic physique to sharing his extensive knowledge about the sport in his newsletter, Arnie’s contributions to bodybuilding have been immense.

Schwarzenegger has left behind an unforgettable mark on several people who come from his village as well. One of the ‘skinny men’ from his team, recently revealed how being with the Austrian Oak had turned his life around completely.

Noah Glenn reveals how he became a Strongman

In the latest Guest Corner piece published in Arnie’s daily Newsletter, Arnold’s Pump Club, Noah Glenn, one of Arnie’s team members was featured. He shared how he went from being a skinny guy to a Strongman. He began by saying how he has been on Schwarzenegger’s team for six years, and it was while working with him, that he realized that he had fallen in love with the sport.

So, he signed up for a contest and started training harder. He said, “I never thought weightlifting would be my thing. I honestly thought I was destined to be skinny forever. I still remember how embarrassed I felt when I couldn’t bench the bar in high school.”

He rigorously started picking up stones and logs and carrying heavy things. He went harder on his training and became a 205-pound Strongman, and was in his best shape. He added, “Something changed in my six months of picking up stones and logs and carrying heavy things — I changed. That old hard-gainer skinny kid was now a 205-pound strongman competitor. I was in better shape than I had ever been in my whole life.”  Glenn also went on to share how we learned from failure in his first competition.
