Former Mr. Olympia?Arnold Schwarzenegger?is arguably among the fittest 76-year-olds in the world. Despite his age, the bodybuilding legend regularly bikes to Gold’s Gym to workout. He even follows a similar workout routine he did in his?bodybuilding?prime, only reducing the weight and reps. However, even a disciplined former champion like the Austrian Oak suffered health issues from time to time.

The few times Schwarzenegger has undergone surgery, it was for his defective heart valve. The last time he had to replace a valve was in 2020. However, fans got concerned when Arnie recently sported a bandage on his forearm and elbow. Later, it came to light that?Schwarzenegger had undergone elbow surgery. Now, a mere ten days after getting spotted with a bandaged arm and visible bruises, the 76-year-old has shocked the bodybuilding world.

The seven-time Mr. Olympia’s vigor was evident in the video as he showed off his bruised arm by pulling down the sleeve.

“The doctor said that I can go back to working out. To take it easy,”?Arnie said in the video. The Austrian Oak lived up to his nickname yet again as he showed a thumbs-up to the camera in between sets of shoulder presses.?“Nothing can stop me,”?said the bodybuilding icon.

Not even a botched heart surgery could keep Arnie down

In a recent interview with Fox News, the bodybuilder recalled his botched 2018 heart surgery. While doctors planned for a non-invasive surgery, things didn’t go according to the plan.?“We made a mistake and poked through the heart wall,”?the doctors told Schwarzenegger after his initial surgery.?“Well great. This is really great news. I mean, Jesus,”?responded Arnie, and then he went under the knife.

The open heart surgery threatened to derail Arnie’s plan of filming for Terminator: Dark Fate. However, the 76-year-old did not give up. He showcased immense willpower, tried to improve a little every day, and made a full recovery before filming began.
