SO evidently many more than three people have beaten Schwarzenegger, including some no-names. But:

  • Quote:
5) Bob Gajda has said that he beat Arnold at the 1966 FIHC World Physique Championships in East Berlin (23rd October). The original contest report appeared in Kraftsport revue (Nr. 29), making it clear that Arnold was the guest poser and not a competitor. Albert Busek informed Joe Roark that Arnold was not allowed to compete as he was not sent by a German or Austrian bodybuilding organization. A list of the first seven place winners was also published in IronMan magazine (Jan 1967, vol. 26/2, p.18). A picture of Arnold guest posing appeared in Bodypower magazine (Jul 1988).



Now that doesn't sound like the whole story, but still.

Arnold also backed down from a challenge by Bill Pearl, who came out of retirement for the 1971 NABBA Universe:
