I didn't know it.
Yeah.
It was in London, the same stage as Ridge Park. So you still hadn't made it to the US yet? No, no, not yet. And was your brother also lifting weights? Was he a weightlifter?
Did you guys get along pretty well? Is that him or no? That's him, yeah, that's Meinhardt. Oh, that's a cool, what is Meinhardt? Yeah, Meinhardt, yeah. I just wonder what it would be like, because I have a brother too, so I'm just thinking sometimes like it would be, yeah, I just think about my brother a lot, so I guess I was just curious what it was like, what your brother was like.
He wasn't passionate.
God, they always give it to the person that doesn't want it.
Yeah. We had a guy like that.
Always trying to correct you. Exactly. That's right. Yeah.
And it gives you control. I mean, if you're bodybuilding, it's just you against you. You don't have to depend on anybody else. I mean, I guess you have to depend on the judges when you go to actually compete. But day to day, it is you against your own emotions and mentality and ability.
Okay.
And this is when you came to the US? Yeah, so he brought me over in 1968. Okay, before we get there, Arnold, and not to interrupt you or anything, but you did a show, you went to like one of the first interracial shows that was in South Africa?
Oh, that was later on. So that was 1975. Got it.
So you're absolutely correct. So you get to the U.S. Very good research. Do you remember your first, thank you. Do you remember your first day in America?
Why were they giving you all that? Oh, just to make you feel welcome.
what's it like finding a gym that really fits you? Like, what's that like at that level of bodybuilding where there are a couple of gyms you try it out and you're like, this isn't it. Or did you already know where you wanted to be?
Was it hard for you to train? I mean, were people at that point just standing around watching you train?
Well, I remember when I first moved to Los Angeles, we went to Firehouse, I don't know if it's still there or not. Yeah, yeah, Firehouse. Was that the place? It was a big protein place. It was like a, was that, I think it was- Well, Firehouse now is a restaurant down there. It used to be like a place where you could get literally like a bowl of chicken.
That's crazy. It was like, yeah, I remember I ate, I ordered like a month worth of food right there just at lunch. Yeah, it took me like five hours to get out of there just because I didn't want to like... Yeah, I was never a big eater.
When, cause I used to buy, I don't know if I used to bodybuild. I used to use steroids when I was like growing up and just lift weights a lot. I loved it for years, you know? And I think whenever I get like, you know, whenever I quit working as much, I'll probably try to get back more weightlifting. Was steroids pretty popular then? Or what was it like?
Was that part of the, cause I'm sure it was part of the culture.
