In addition to being a well-known actor and a former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger is also considered one of the founders of the bodybuilding industry and has a distinguished career in the sport.
On July 30, 1947, Arnold was born near to the Austrian city of Graz. When he was younger, he was self-conscious about his appearance, which is why he initially wanted to try his hand at the bodybuilding business. This choice turned out to be the best one he could have ever taken because this sport helped him advance professionally and led him far.
Arnold won seven Mr. Olympia titles and five Mr. Universe titles. Despite these honors, it was his physical attributes and acting prowess that allowed him to land the part of the Terminator, one of the most well-known movie characters ever.
When Arnold set out to turn bodybuilding into a spectator sport in the US, he wasn’t acting alone. Longtime buddy Jim Lorimer understood Arnold’s vision, and the two collaborated to achieve incredible things. Among other things, they co-founded the Arnold Classic, a well-known bodybuilding tournament.
Sadly, on November 24, 2022, Lorimer passed away. He was also a national track coach, an FBI agent, and a mayor. He was 96.
Arnold shared his grief on the passing of a good friend on Instagram, writing, “I am devastated that I won’t be able to sit with him again and hear his wisdom, or analyze bodybuilders with him, or simply laugh and laugh.”
Many people commented on Arnold’s article. They included well-known individuals from the bodybuilding sector.

“That tribute is felt throughout the entire body, from the bones to the heart and spirit. What a strong statement that is also completely true. Our hearts go out to his family and friends. Jim, may you rest in peace,” a second individual added.
“Life is such a fantastic journey! It moves quickly by! The final comments were, “I’m sorry for your loss,” and “Let us cherish and thrill our loved ones right now.”
We sympathize with your loss over Lorimer.
In the world of bodybuilding, a legend has died. May he rest in peace.
