Weider Day

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger honored his long-time friend, muscle guru Joe Weider, on Monday, declaring it "Joe Weider Day" in California. At the governor's request, the state Senate issued a resolution in honor of Weider, publisher of a Woodland Hills-based fitness magazine empire that he sold in 2003.
In the 1960s, Weider helped Schwarzenegger become established as a bodybuilder with financial support and extensive promotion in his magazines.
