Arnold Schwarzenegger

Charles "Wag" Bennett, one the judges at the 1966 competition, was impressed with Schwarzenegger and fered to coach him. As Schwarzenegger had little money, Bennett invited him to stay in his crowded family home above one his two gyms in Forest Gate, London, England. Yorton's leg definition had been judged superior, and Schwarzenegger, under a training program devised by Bennett, concentrated on improving the muscle definition and power in his legs. Staying in the East End London helped Schwarzenegger improve his rudimentary grasp the English language. Also in 1966, Schwarzenegger had the opportunity to meet childhood idol Reg Park, who became his friend and mentor. The training paid f and, in 1967, Schwarzenegger won the title for the first time, becoming the youngest ever Mr. Universe at the age 20. He would go on to win the title a further three times. Schwarzenegger then flew back to Munich, training for four to six hours daily, attending business school and working in a health club (Rolf Putzinger's gym where he worked and trained from 1966–1968), returning in 1968 to London to win his next Mr. Universe title. He frequently told Roger C. Field, a friend in Munich at that time, "I'm going to become the greatest actor!"
Move to the U.S.
Schwarzenegger moved to the United States in September 1968 at the age 21, speaking little English. "Naturally, when I came to this country, my accent was very bad, and my accent was also very strong, which was an obstacle as I began to pursue acting." There he trained at Gold's Gym in Santa Monica, California, under Joe Weider. From 1970 to 1974, one Schwarzenegger's weight training partners was Ric Drasin, a pressional wrestler who designed the original Gold's Gym logo in 1973. Schwarzenegger also became good friends with pressional wrestler "Superstar" Billy Graham. In 1970, at age 23, he captured his first Mr. Olympia title in New York, and would go on to win the title a total seven times.
