Monday Motivation: Find Your Village
I have a gym at home with everything I could ever need.
It sits empty unless I'm doing a second workout in the evening.
Every morning I get on my bike and ride to the gym. And when I walk in, my friends joke that it takes me about 30 minutes to get from the front desk to my first set.
There's someone who wants to tell me about a new personal record. There's someone who wants to give me a hard time for wearing a shirt with my own face on it. There's someone who just started and wants to know if they're doing it right.
People ask me why I don't have my security clear a path straight to the bench.
Because that would ruin the whole thing.
I don't wear headphones either. I never have. I don't listen to music when I train, and I don't want anything tuning out the people around me. They're the whole point.
I love people. I love the schmoozing. The laughing between sets, the guy who pushes me for one more rep, the crew that notices when I don't show up. That energy is half the reason I'm still training every day at 79.
There's a myth in fitness that the most serious people do it alone.
You know the type. The Lone Wolf.
Headphones on. Hood up. Nobody talks to them, and they like it that way. They think support is for people who are weak. They think needing anyone is a crack in the armor.
When I was competing, there were a lot of guys like that. They trained alone in gyms that looked like dungeons because they thought they were so intense they needed to be isolated to win.
Meanwhile, I surrounded myself with my crew and laughed through my workouts.
The trophies didn’t end on the lone wolves’ shelves.
A few years ago I gave the commencement speech at the University of Houston, and I told the graduates something I tell everyone. You can call me Arnold. You can call me Schwarzenegger. You can call me the Austrian Oak. You can call me Arnie.
But don't ever, ever call me a self-made man.
Yes, I trained five hours a day. Nobody lifted the weights for me. The vision was mine, and the fire was mine.
But I didn't do it alone. Not even close.
Yes, I have always had insane vision and drive. That was my engine. The people around me were my fuel.
A lifeguard and a few bodybuilders at the lake where I grew up taught me my first chin-up on the branch of a tree. They brought me to the weightlifting club in Graz, where the coaches pushed me, and the lifters around me made me want to be better.
The words as text: what a screen reader can follow, and all there is when images don't load.
