Former Mr. Universe & Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Training Partner Karl Kainrath Dies at 77

Karl Kainrath, the former Mr. Universe and training partner of Arnold Schwarzenegger, died on July 26. His death was described as “sudden.” Kainrath was 77 years old.

Schwarzenegger paid tribute to Kainrath in a tweet that read, “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.” According to Kainrath’s IMDb page, he appeared in three documentaries about the former governor of California, the most recent coming in 1994.
