When it comes to building one’s physique, it is impossible to look beyond the expertise ofArnold Schwarzenegger. The seemingly invincible star who has been an inspiration to people in the field of health and fitness over decades, has also had his share of crippling failures during the course of his bodybuilding career.
Having been invited to America by Joe Wider at age 21, Schwarzenegger was excited at the prospect of winning his third title in his inaugural competition in the country. As things turned out, he lost to the accomplished competitor and legend Frank Zane, which then made him question his abilities as a bodybuilder and his future in the field. Schwarzenegger elaborated inArnold’s Pump Club,
“Frank Zane beat me. I was shocked, I was depressed, and I was all alone.I had just left everyone I knew and everything I had in Europe for this.“
But like all great competitors, Schwarzenegger took the defeat in his stride and was gracious enough to admit that Zane was the better contender on the day. TheTrue Liesactor also used the failure as a positive sign and began training with Zane with whom he went on to develop a close friendship. His perseverance led him to win many more titles.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Tips On How To Combat Failure
“First of all, the biggest reason people fail is that they aren’t keeping their program in front of them and checking their goals off every day. So, if you haven’t been keeping track, start NOW. I always had my program written on the wall in the gym, and I knew I did it every day when I marked it off.”
The Austrian Oak also urged his readers to stop being excessively hard on themselves when they failed. He advised them to embrace their mistakes, take failure in their stride, and continue to move forward toward progress without being discouraged.
