In the latest edition of Daily Pump Newsletter Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals the toughest competition he faced during his bodybuilding days.

“I think the answer has to be&#8230;” &#8211; Who Was Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Toughest Rival During His Bodybuilding Career?

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the name is taken parallel whenever we talk about the
greatest bodybuilders of all time. He is a man that has inspired generations of
bodybuilders from around the world. Furthermore, the Austrian Oak has had an
impact on bodybuilding and changed the sport forever. However, bodybuilding is a
competitive sport and a number of individuals gave Schwarzenegger tough
competition back in the day.

Even though Schwarzenegger has had a track record like no other, the Austrian
Oak recently mentioned a bodybuilder he had a hard time competing against.


ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER REVEALS HIS TOUGHEST OPPONENT DURING HIS BODYBUILDING
CAREER

The list of the greatest athletes of all time is incomplete without Arnold
Schwarzenegger. The Terminator star is the only bodybuilder to have won seven
Mr. Olympia titles, out of which he won six of them consecutively. However,
Schwarzenegger did have some great competition while he competed for all these
titles. And recently, Arnold revealed the names of the opponents he faced in his
career. “I think the answer has to be Sergio Oliva, who won Mr. Olympia twice in
a row before he beat me for his 3-peat in 1969,” Schwarzenegger revealed in the
latest edition of the Daily Pump newsletter as reported by SportsKeeda
[https://www.sportskeeda.com/bodybuilding/news-he-beat-3-peat-arnold-schwarzenegger-names-sergio-oliva-toughest-rival].



Schwarzenegger described Oliva as “a dragon” that he had to slay before reaching
the top. The Terminator star was full of praises for Oliva. He urged everyone to
Google Oliva’s body while also calling him a “monster.” In fact, the Governator
confessed to have done everything to win against Olivia in 1970, including
trickery.


THE AUSTRIAN OAK ONCE TRICKED SERGIO OLIVA

While competing for the Mr. World title in 1970, Schwarzenegger once tricked
Sergio Oliva to win the competition. Back then, the duo were going head to head
for the title. However, the judges were unable to make up their minds on who
truly deserved the title. So Schwarzenegger cleverly convinced Oliva to walk off
the stage making him believe that they did have not to do any more poses. As
soon as Oliva left the stage, the Austrian Oak did another pose turning the
decision in his favor. Schwarzenegger funnily admitted how he never lost a
competition ever since.



Despite the rivalry, it seemed like the two shared a great bond. The
Kindergarten Cop revealed how “The Myth” is a sweetheart of a guy and that he
loved hanging out with him in Chicago.
