Arnold Schwarzenegger Dissapproves Miracle Drug Used by Elon Musk, Charles Barkley, and Others: “Work Your A** Off, There’s No Shortcut”

Having faced multiple challenges in his childhood years, Arnold Schwarzenegger knows the importance of working hard. Being born in a small village in Austria just a short while after World War 2, the Schwarzenegger family lacked even the most basic necessities at times. However, with hard work and determination, Schwarzenegger pushed through the half times and now has a whopping net worth of $450 million. 

The bodybuilding veteran was recently asked about his views on ‘Ozempic’ which is a common weight loss medication used by internet personalities and actors. Opening up about the same, Schwarzenegger bashed the drug and its usage and explained how these compounds are making the younger generations weaker and weaker.

As Schwarzenegger is promoting his upcoming book ‘Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life,’ he sat down for a podcast with Howard Stern. Among many other things that the duo discussed, Stern inquired about Arnold’s views on Ozempic. It is a medication that was made to control type-2 diabetes. As it helps control the insulin, it can also help in weight loss. Even though it is not a steroid and is approved by the FDA, its actual purpose is to cure diabetes only. However, many entities rely on it for their weight loss journey, including the likes of Elon Musk, Margaret Josephs, and Sharon Osbourne.

Giving his views on the drug, Schwarzenegger said, “To me it’s all about hard work in and that’s why I say in my book you know work your ass off and because there’s no shortcut.” Continuing further, he explained that this country was made by hard-working people. And so, we need to step out of our comfort zones as well. He added, “These were ballsy women and men that went out there at five in the morning and got up and they struggled and they fought, and they worked their butts off. That’s what made this country great.”

Schwarzenegger explains why he thinks this is a “generation of wimps”

Arnold explained that the founding fathers of America worked hard to create this nation. But the newer generations are becoming weaker and weaker mentally. Explaining this further, he explained that he realizes the importance of being considerate, but it is also important to be tough in order to make it big. 

Suggesting the new generation to walk on the same path as their ancestors did, Schwarzenegger started, “Don’t start creating a generation of wimps and weak people and stuff like that, where we go into being concerned about “how are you feeling today,” “oh I don’t want to hurt your feelings.”” Clearing his point, he added, “It’s nice to be considerate; yes, I totally agree with that. But let’s not overbaby the kids. Let’s go and teach kids to be tough.”
