The California Culturist


Book Description

Excerpt from The California Culturist: July, 1860 Rom a very remote period in the world's history, silks and their fabrics have F ever maintained the first rank among fibril manufactures for beauty, elegance and commercial value. The geographical extent of the countries of the old world, favorable to silk production, is so limited, and the demand for its fabrics so world-wide, that its importance to the commercial and domestic economy of those provinces where it forms a staple production, can hardly be over-estimated.

The weight lifters shone with sweat; they were powerful looking, Herculean. And there it was before me—my life, the answer I’d been seeking. It clicked. 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.

This is his classic bestselling account of his experiences in bodybuilding—his discovery of the sport as a teenager; his parents’ pressure to give up on it; his obsessive determination and ambition; and his rise to international celebrity. In addition, Arnold shares his fitness and training secrets—demonstrating with a comprehensive step-by-step program and dietary hints how to use bodybuilding for better health. His program includes a special four-day regimen of specific exercises to develop individual muscle groups—each exercise illustrated with photos of Arnold in action.
