Arnold Schwarzenegger often credits his visionary talent for his successful career in different arenas. He even confessed in his documentary that he visualized being the best bodybuilder even before competing in the events. Having led an unparalleled professional life, Arnie is now inclined to give back to society. So, he started his newsletter and podcast, Arnold’s Pump Club, sharing tips and fitness mantras with his village.

The Austrian Oak, however, never limited his platform to a one-way conversation and often shared inspiring stories of his tribe. The recent edition also included an inspiring story of Adam’s dad, who fought against cancer with optimism and a clear vision.

Adam is one of Arnie’s associates who helps the bodybuilding legend with the Arnold Pump Club. In an episode titled “Sentenced to Life“, Adam shared his dad’s inspiring story, who braved terminal brain cancer for three years before resting in peace a couple of days ago. But the mourning son is proud to share his father’s wisdom with Arnie’s fitness village. Having been given a death sentence in six months by doctors back in 2020, Adam’s father decided to live with optimism.

The 68-year-old took to a healthy lifestyle and started enjoying every moment of his life by including a training routine, a healthy diet, and walking. Despite undergoing treatment for his ailment, he took the adventurous path by trekking hilltops, competing with ocean waves, and inculcating acro-yoga into his daily routine.

After losing his left arm to cancer, the sexagenarian father trained with his less preferred arm. The determined dad rebooted his reading capacity after losing vision in one eye. Narrating his father’s sad yet inspiring plight, Adam confessed, “When cancer left him unable to walk or bathe himself, even though he hated his limitations, he asked for help because that was the bravest and strongest thing he could do.” Adam’s dad proved the doctors’ prophecy wrong and lived for almost three years after the critical diagnosis. However, on his deathbed, he shared an important life lesson with his son.
