His 24-inch bicep and sculpted physique in his prime reflect his heavy-weight training regime. The internet recently discovered a training video where ‘The King’ did leg presses with more than a ton of weight.

During a heavy-weight leg workout in his prime, the beast’s enormous strength astounded the bodybuilding community. They took to the comments section to reveal their thoughts on the frightening grit of the 59-year-old bodybuilder.
