Calum von Moger shares the secret Arnold Schwarzenegger gave him for bodybuilding success.

Calum von Moger is becoming a phenomenon in the bodybuilding world. While he may have suffered a terrible bicep injury that has slowed his progress, Calum is still hard at work in the gym looking to get back on the horse.

A recent interview with Men’s Health delved into a number of different topics with the Australian bodybuilder. Chief among them was the question about Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not only has “The Austrian Oak” been a major influence for Calum von Moger, the Aussie has also drawn comparisons to the legendary bodybuilder.

One question in particular was quite interesting as Calum von Moger reveals the secret that Arnold Schwarzenegger shared with him in order to take his bodybuilding to the next level. The interviewer asked Calum about the conversations he had with Arnold to which he replied:

“I only spoke to him briefly a few times, and when I did it was at Gold’s Gym. I just picked his ears off a little bit. He was giving me some help with posing. I asked him, “What did you do up on the stage to guarantee you would stand out?” I remember him telling me all about the Vacuum Pose. He was telling me that you don’t see that too often. If you can pull that off, you’re golden. He told me to practice it in the morning, five times, hold it for as long as you can, every morning.”

Very intriguing advice, especially when you consider the fact that bodybuilding is shifting back towards the classic old school principals of aesthetics over sheer mass. Calum von Moger has an opportunity to walk in his idol’s footsteps and could very well be considered one of the greats if he keeps heeding his advice. Only time will tell of course, but there’s no doubting that the future looks bright for Calum.
