He is the man who many decades ago, when bodybuilding was done by a very small misunderstood group of people, took what he learned and marketed it to the whole world, and started the IFBB. When the world never believed in physical fitness of that sort, he made fitness and muscularity fashionable and desirable.

He is a large reason why Arnold is Arnold.

So "generally accepted" knowledge was pioneered by him. So that's why they call him the Father of bodybuilding. Literally.
