The 1974 photo book “Pumping Iron” features iconic images of a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was considered among bodybuilders to have not only the best physique but the best style of posing.
In Butler’s images of Schwarzenegger, who was considered among bodybuilders to have not only the best physique but the best style of posing, there is no shortage of gorgeous studies of the ripples and striations of his muscles and the elegant composition of his form. Shots of his face in frenzy, as he lifts the maximum weight his body can handle, tell a gratifying story of pure exertion.
At the beginning of the book, Butler explains that, when he met up with Schwarzenegger to ask permission to assemble the collection, Schwarzenegger, by that point one of the most famous and highly compensated actors in the world, puzzled at why Butler had not, since they had first met, made more of an effort to become rich.
Despite Schwarzenegger’s desire to distance himself from his “Pumping Iron” days, Butler and Gaines’s storytelling clearly played a part in helping him cultivate his own image. When they first began working together, Gaines asked Schwarzenegger if it had ever occurred to him that his body was like a classical sculpture.
In the most memorable scene in the “Pumping Iron” documentary, Schwarzenegger tells a story about the intensity of his devotion to bodybuilding. “If you want to be a champion,” he says, “you cannot have any kind of an outside force coming in and affect you.” He explains that once, two months before an event, a crucial time for preparation, his mother called to tell him that his father had just died.
