![TIL during filming of "Conan The Barbarian", Arnold Schwarzenegger had to cut down his workout routine because his arm and chest muscles were so big that he couldn't wield a sword properly.

Great memories but here is the reality. Working with John Milius was fantastic, because he was so hardcore. But it is true that he thought I looked too much like a bodybuilder - I needed to lose some of the cuts because I had just won Mr. Olympia and I was way too ripped to be a barbarian. So he told me to eat normally and not diet at all - I let my body fat get to around 12% I had no issue with swinging swords even before I changed my body. I had been training with Sensei Yamazaki for three years before we filmed. I'd also been training in kendo and horseback riding for those three years by the time we filmed. Reps, reps, reps. I knew I had gotten good with the sword when James Earl Jones let me hit him right in the neck on the bloodbag even though if I'd missed by a couple inches I could have hit his head or his ear. His neck had a protective leather cover under the bloodbag and I didn't miss. I got attacked by a dog on the very first day of shooting - he pulled me down from the rocks into a thorn bush and I had to be stitched up on the set. Milius walked up to me and said "this sets the tone" - he meant this in a positive way Also, it is true that I had to bite a real dead vulture because in those days they couldn't make one that would look good in a close-up. So they soaked it in alcohol to kill bacteria and dried it out. It still had lice. permalink embed save parent report give gold reply jimbonics 1459 points 4 hours ago I was way too ripped to be a barbarian.
