Arnold Schwarzenegger oozes confidence
While bodybuilders finesse their bodies to the perfect bicep curls, one cannot imagine the time they spend working on it and on their preparation for a significant event. Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia contests are the most prestigious competitions associated with bodybuilders. Thus, an athlete takes his time, ripping their body to perfection before entering the contest. But in Arnold’s case, he did the exact opposite.

The level of confidence they displayed put other bodybuilders to shame. As for Columbo, he happens to be in the same timeline that Arnold competed in events. Nonetheless, Columbo won two Mr. Olympia titles in 1976 and 1981. He remained a friend with Arnold and was the best training partner for “The Austrian Oak” for years to come.
