Arnold Schwarzenegger is a bodybuilding legend. He won an outstanding seven Mr. Olympia titles, which was only bettered by Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney. Despite retiring a long time ago, many still consider Arnold as their motivation when it comes to bodybuilding.
After retiring from professional bodybuilding, Arnold Schwarzenegger went on to forge a successful career in acting as well as politics. On January 12, 2023, Arnold Schwarzenegger posted three photos on Instagram along with the following caption:
"TBT Before free newsletters and e-books, and even before people knew my last name, this was how I spread the fitness crusade all over the world. Click the link in my bio for the modern version and join the fitness crusade."
The photos were from Schwarzenegger's days as a professional bodybuilder. The first photo had the following caption:
"BUILDING THE LEGS OF AN OAK by Arnold Strong"
In the next photo it was written:
"MASSIVE ARMS by Arnold Strong"
The final photo posted by Arnold Schwarzenegger read:
"BUILDING A CHEST LIKE A FORTRESS by Arnold Strong"
In all three photos posted by Arnold, his last name wasn't Schwarzenegger. It was Strong. All these were booklets from the days of his professional bodybuilding career. In the caption, Arnold had mentioned that he used these booklets to spread his fitness crusade worldwide even before everyone knew his last name.
Reacting to Arnold's wrong last name in the photos, one of his followers wrote:
"Schwarzenegger is the meaning of 'strong'!!"
A follower asked whether Schwarzenegger's real meaning is Strong. According to Wiktionary, the word Schwarzenegger means a person from Schwarzenegg. It also states that there are two places in the name of Schwarzenegg, one in Switzerland and the other in Austria.
