Arnold Schwarzenegger – Mr. Olympia

Is it possible to talk about the ’80s if we don’t speak about Arnold Schwarzenegger? Before he made it as an actor and a politician, Schwarzenegger was a famous bodybuilder. He was so accomplished that he even won the Mr. Universe title, which would become part of his long track record of success.

He earned the title of Mr. Olympia several times and holds the record as the youngest person to ever win it at age 23. However, he surprised the world when he suddenly retired in 1975 from professional bodybuilding but returned in 1980 to take the crown.
