That is to say, advertising the project UVZSHOP.ru Recall that Arnie is not mowed, and honestly served in the army, was a real tanker. Service, he took on the American M47 "Patton - 2". Military specialty in 18-year-old future "Terminator" was "a driver." Interestingly, in the Austrian army to control the tank allowed no earlier than 21 years. Thus, Arnie became one of the youngest drivers tanks. One of the interesting facts about military service, you can remember what Arnie even on field exercises managed not to interrupt your workout.

He was a self-made rod, which he drove in ZIPe tank. " I made a lot of progress in the initial stage of their training, when he served in the Austrian army and had all sorts of things. When we are in a period of six weeks, took part in the maneuvers along the Czechoslovak border, I had to drive a tank for fifteen hours a day to pump fuel with a manual pump to "fight" with huge fuel drums and do repairs. We slept in the trenches or under the tanks and had to get up at six o'clock in the morning.

However, my friend and I got up at five, climbed into the tank compartment for tools, which kept their rods, and up to a total lifting practiced for an hour. After the end of the day of the exercises we trained for another hour. I can not imagine a more heavy duty for training and therefore argue that finding the time and energy Sports - it's a matter of motivation and interest. This is always an athlete, in any situation, find a time and place for training. "


Arnold Schwarzenegger. "The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding"
For the sake of the competition, "Mr. Europe", he went to the "self-propelled". This had two consequences AWOL - Champion title in the junior titles and two weeks of his release on the "lip". In other matters, in the cooler Arnie spent all week - term knock off and even given two days off since his victory undoubtedly increased the prestige of military service.

Well, another day Arnie managed to drown his tank: "One day I woke up one morning and found that my tank was gone. I realized the wrong parking - not the parking brake, and the tank rolled into the river. There he found" , - said Schwarzenegger at a meeting with soldiers of the American air base in Ramstein in May 2004.






Later, in memory of the service, he bought the tank on which he served.

Well, actually, a comment to the event from the newspaper "Tagil Worker":

Fans of power sports the name of Michael Koklyaeva well known. Russian multiple champion in weightlifting and power extreme, world-class athlete in weightlifting, the owner of the absolute record of Russia in the deadlift (415 kg). Rated PLSE (Professional League Power Extreme) Michael Koklyaev is the "most powerful man in Russia."

He was born and raised in Chelyabinsk. But few people know that Michael now lives and works in Nizhny Tagil on one of the subsidiaries of Uralvagonzavod "UBT-Ecology" as an advisor to the Director of Physical Culture and Sport.

And recently, Michael spent his show of force in the framework of the past in our city a unique sporting event in the open air - "Russian Classics", the main action of which was a hockey match between the teams of "Sputnik" and Orsk "Southern Urals".

Just recently, Michael Koklyaev took part in international competitions "Arnold Classic".

Bodybuilding Tournament "Arnold Classic" is the second largest professional competition after the tournament, "Mr. Olympia", the Federation's IFBB, and thus the second largest in the world.

The tournament was organized by Arnold Schwarzenegger and his partner and mentor in business, producer of many sporting events Jim Lorimer and first held March 11, 1989 in Columbus, Ohio. Since then, every year in late February or early March in Ohio unfolds a real sports festival. Within a few days pass not only bodybuilding competition, but also a great sports exhibition Arnold Expo, as well as a variety of exciting shows featuring the stars of bodybuilding and fitness. All this beauty is called the Arnold Fitness Weekend and helps promote a healthy lifestyle in general and bodybuilding in particular.This year the tournament was held in the 27 th time.

To date, the award for first place in the "Arnold Classic" is 100 thousand dollars. In addition, the winner gets a car "Hammer" and watch "Rolex".

While in America, Michael told us about the event by phone

- I was invited to break the record of raising the bar with one hand. It was erected in 1931 by the French strongman Charles Regulo. Rod weighed 115 kg. In the first approach, I picked up 100 kg and made three attempts to 115.5 kg. And he was very close to victory ... At these competitions attended by representatives of the Guinness World Records.

Unlike the standard weightlifting barbell, barbell at the annual exhibition of sports and fitness "Arnold Classic" longer, and instead drives are installed on metal balls. Maybe it and prevent the establishment of a new record. Because everyone needs to practice and training. On a conventional rod is my best result of 110 kg.

Many thanks to the leadership of Uralvagonzavod and hello to all tagilchanam. I will try to break the record in 2016, as immediately after the show I was made a formal offer to try again next year.

In memory of his participation in the competition gave them to Michael Koklyaev organizer Arnold Schwarzenegger model T-90, and the first model of diving watches 193 FRQ Zlatoust plant, which was released in titanium.
 
Good to know he was Tank Commander
 


This is actually an SK 105 Kurassier light tank. The first prototype was ready in 1967 and delivery of pre-production vehicles commenced in 1971. Austria had 153 M47's in active service from 1957 till 1982. So he probably learned on the 18 ton Kurassier before moving to the 49 ton M-47 Patton. Unlike the M-47, which left Austrian service in 1982, the Kurassier remains in service with the Austrian military today.

These photos were ~1990 recorded when Arnold was already famous. His mother continued to live in Styria / Austria and he visited her once or twice a year, while he attended also his old unit in Graz (Capitol City of Styria), the PzB 4 (Panzerbataillon / Tank Battalion 4), now JgPzB 4 (Jagdpanzerbataillon / Tank Destroyer Battalion 4). Look on his unmilitary long hair! But now this was been converted to Kürassier and hed rove a few laps with the Kurassier in the barracks.
The man right, a Lieutenant Colonel, was the former Commander of the JaPzB 4 at this time.

Arni served in the Austrian Army from October 1965 to June 1966, PzB / JaPzB4 changed the tanks in 1977.

Hey Penguin, by now your own wiki link lists the Kurassier as no longer in Austrian service (see under former operators)
