The bodybuilder and Hollywood star Schwarzenegger will appear at the first Australian edition of his tournament series and seek to promote the sport across Australia.
Administrator and former bodybuilding champion Paul Graham said the tournament had finally hit Australia *because of his close friendship with the star.

Graham, 70, said he was a mentor to the young Schwarzenegger in 1968 in the US.
“I was introduced to *Arnold, we became training partners and I helped him throughout his career,” Mr Graham said.
