The “governator” first competed as an amateur from Austria in 1967 at the age of 20, the youngest ever to top the competition. He then moved to California in 1968 and won the Mister Universe title three more times. He later transitioned to the professional arena, and was proclaimed as Mister Olympia six years in a row, from 1970 to 1975.
