Senior RKC Mark "Rif" Riefkind posted this on his blog. It got me to thinkin'. Arnold was the single most influential fitness figure in my young mind from the earliest years I can remember until, well, I read The Russian Kettlebell Challenge. The guy had some swagger, and some size on him, which was amplified by the smile he always wore, content like a statue, knowing that what he did for a living was lift weights. Say what you will about his Gubernatorial savvy, the guy had it made for many years. And while these days I search for safe and effective methods to bring strength and health and sexy parts to my clientele, rather than the 'traditional' aim of straight up cosmetic exercise, I remain one of the million kids who was turned onto bodybuilding, and ultimately health/fitness, by the Oak. I used to own a copy of the movie this clip was taken from. It was titled "Pumping Iron" and followed the lives of 4 bodybuilders, Lou Ferrigno and Frank Zane, to name two, en route to the , I believe '76 Mr. Olympia. Spoiler ALERT! Arnold wins. I passed it on and never was it seen again. If you have not seen this film, go to it. Do it, DO IT NOW!
