4 things that i learned about arnold swarzenegger was that he is great at what he does, that he was in the army, went to jail, and one thing that i found the most interestiong was that he wasnt allowed to work out in a normal gym more than 3 times a week so than we wnet and created his own gym at his house in stead. in my opion the gym was dumb because they lost some bussiness. what i really learned about form watching this was that you can do anything that you want even if there ends up being some sort of obsiticals in your way. with him like jail and not working as much as he wants to but he still does what he wasnt to do.
