Arnold Schwarzenegger

Schwarzenegger began lifting weights at age 15 and went on to win the Mr. Universe title at age 20 before achieving seven consecutive victories in the Mr. Olympia competition. He is tied with Phil Heath for the second-highest total of all-time Mr. Olympia wins. In bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger was nicknamed the "Austrian Oak" due to his impressive physique.
