Arnold, the Likable Jerk

Arnold Shwarzenegger, in “Pumping Iron,” psyches out his opponents by asking them if they are nervous and critiquing their workouts. This occurs throughout the entire film. He even tells a story about how he intentionally gave poor training to a German bodybuilder.

Ken Waller also psyches out a competitor by hiding his T-shirt. This is all the wrong he does in the movie.

Arnold is loved; Ken is hated. Arnold bothers others with a smile in his face; Ken is portrayed with an evil grin. A smile made the difference!

Arnold is just too likable.
