Before Arnold Schwarzenegger was the Terminator

Schwarzenegger tried individual sports like the javelin and shot put, "but none of those things felt right to me," he said in his autobiography. Then his soccer coach brought the team to a bodybuilding gym for weight training and something "clicked," he said. "Those guys were huge and brutal. I found myself walking around them, staring at muscles I'd never even seen before. The weightlifters shone with sweat; they were powerful-looking, Herculean. And there it was before me -- my life, the answer," he said in his autobiography. "It was something I suddenly just seemed to reach out and find, as if I'd been crossing a suspended bridge and finally stepped off onto solid ground."
