My fascination with Arnold Schwarzenegger started as a teenager in the mid-90s. My dad had a copy of the Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding, and my brothers and I loved flicking through the pages to read about the fitness icon's tips on sculpting a body like his.
Of course, I never really had the same determination as the Austrian Oak, so I never got to have ginormous pecs or the colossal arms he had. Nevertheless, reading his bodybuilding bible became somewhat of a hobby for me over time, and at some point, I could even quote sections from it.
