• Graz, Austria native
• Schwarzenegger: “Karl Kainrath welded some of my first weightlifting equipment, he was a fantastic training partner, and he supported me during my first victory at Stuttgart for Junior Mr. Europe. People like him are the reason I don’t call myself a self-made man. My thoughts are with his family.”

Schwarzenegger and Kainrath had physical similarities and almost identical quad structures.
