Core tip:Arnold is not always the winner in some important games, but he knows that games are a good way to understand yourself and improve.
In the years before Arnold truly rose to prominence, Cuban bodybuilder Sergio Oliva had few competitors. He defended his two-time Mr. Olympia title undisputedly. But after 1968, he encountered unprecedented challenges. In 1969, the 21-year-old Arnold had just won his second European Mr. Universe title when he met Sergio Oliva.
Arnold recalled: "When the final moment came to decide the outcome, Sergio Oliva and I went to the end and warmed up backstage. Sergio Oliva always wore long-sleeved clothes before going on stage. Others The player couldn't see his muscles. When he took off his clothes on stage, he certainly knew that I was constantly observing him. He stretched his arms and expanded his back. His huge figure could block the light! This is a very A strong deterrent! I know I lost."
"We were standing on stage demonstrating, and then I heard the whole room shouting Sergio! I tried my best to demonstrate and couldn't beat him, I just heard more screams of Sergio. Oh. I kept smiling and posing, and I beat everyone but him. He gave me a big hug, knowing that I was younger and only I dared to step on it. I challenged him on stage and I lost, but I proved myself!"
Failure is the key to knowing how to find success. Arnold knew he would come back. The story ends here. You don’t need to defeat anyone now, you just need to defeat yourself through hard training!
