Please go to the Political forum with that nonsense. It amazes me that there are people out there that fail to comprehend the magnitude of the mans genious and the wonderful things he has done for so many people world wide. Including signing off on Tookie.

surprisingly, you make a post about a politician in OOT and if people dont praise your republican you scream foul. you may have posted this in the wrong forum unless you just wanted this to turn into some circle jerk on what a great governor arnold supposedly is.

Yeah, Arnie is great.

I used to do lotsa weights, and the books he did were good, solid advice.

Arnie is cool his books are [censored] awful. Some of the worst advice around really.

Please understand when The Bible was written. It was pretty cutting edge advice in the time frame. It has provided many, MANY, professional bodybuilders with a basic frame of referrence and starting point of their knowledge of working out. Either way, I got my copy signed so its awesome. I'm awesome.

The basics in the Bible are still solid, I'm sure. And the other books I've read of his are typically cut-downs from the Bible. Maybe you've read others.

It's packed away, and I'm saying this from memory, but it runs through all the basic exercise moves still used today, instructs on warm-up and warm-down, goes through the patterns of reps/sets still used today, so what's to be awful?

What, you think solid weight-training advice is trumped by 7-minute abs and sht like that? Or you need some inspirational horse crap to get them weights moving?

Sweet, I'm part Austrian and a big AS fan. It makes me want to move to Cali.

wasnt there a (weak) movement to revoke arnold's austrian citizenship because of his stance on the death pentalty? isnt the general consesus that austria is ashamed of him?

That's somewhat true I guess. Basically, when all the publicity about The Tookie Monster got around, the city back there that adopted him threatened to remove his name from a stadium built in his honor. Arnold had his team of lawyers fly to Austria last month and forced the town to remove his name and likeness from all things they had of him in the city (and that was quite a few things). The city offered to revoke their threat of taking his name off the building, Arnold refused and his name is now no longer associated with the city in any way.

Translated the Socialist party and Green party are ashamed of him.
On a recent radio show the majority of Austrians who phoned in said that although they did not support the death penalty they still supported Arnold and the fact that he was upholding a court decision.

When my dad introduced me to the Governor, Arnold shook my hand, took a step back, got this wierd look on his face while looking me up and down and said, I swear to God, "wow, you're looking very pumped up!" Unreal. The [censored] Terminator told me I looked pumped up. It felt like it was a Hanz & Franz skit.

this was certainly my favorite part. That had to be sweet as all hell.

great story and pictures. were I in your situation, though, I don't think I'd be able to restrain myself from blurting out random Predator quotes

JihadOnTheRiver · #10 12-28-2005, 06:55 PM

Euro,

Yeah, that quote will be told many times. My grandkid will come in and be like "yo grampa, I just benched 400, I'm so yoked." And I'll just say "you little pecker, I used to bench 400 easy, and THE TERMINATOR SAID I WAS [censored] PUMPED UP!" Lol, I'm gonna average once a day with that story for the next 4 years.
