#193 Arnold Schwarzenegger (Arnold's first autobiography)

Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

It was the summer I turned fifteen. A magical season for me because that year I discovered exactly What I wanted to do with my life. It was more than a young boy's mere pipe dream of a distant hazy future. Confused fantasies of being a fireman.

Detective, sailor. Test pilot. A spy. I knew. I was going to be a bodybuilder.

It wasn't simply that either. I would be the best bodybuilder in the world. The greatest. I'm not exactly sure why I chose bodybuilding, except that I loved it. I loved it from the first moment my fingers closed around a barbell.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
