“Let’s Not Forget He Is 5 Years From 80”: Bodybuilding World Empathizes With Legend Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Shrinking Stature With Age

After building an illustrious career in bodybuilding, Arnold Schwarzenegger aced the film industry, featuring in iconic movies like his career Terminator. If that wasn’t enough, he also gained the public’s support, electing him as the 37th Governor of California. He is one who has utilized the full potential of his youth. However, the inevitability of time has exposed him to criticism based on his declining physique. 

The bodybuilder turned actor shared an intriguing workout video on YouTube with two notable celebrities, Fortune Feimster and Bert Kreischer, at the Gold’s Gym. The latter posted a snippet from the interview, giving a glimpse of the enthusiasm from the day. However, some users were piqued with an unusual observation. But the community came to his rescue.

Besides, even the 50-year-old comedian is set to release a movie, The Machine, to hit the theatres on May 26th. Bits of the celebrities powering through their workouts were presented while they were lucky enough to be trained by the legend himself. “#TheMachine x #TheTerminator x #TheFortuneTeller hit the gym,” the caption hinted.

A handful of users came with their critical stances, pointing out the star athlete’s height difference with Bert. “Holy sh*t I thought Arnold was like 6’5,” a comment read. Another claimed that they’d heard Bert saying that he was 5’10. Thus, the remark added, “How tiny is Aronld now then???” A user appreciated the comedian’s shoulders, and said, “I think your shoulders are bigger than arnold’s.” Irked by the feat, fans took over the comments section to hail the three stars while also taking the star athlete’s side against the criticism.

One fan recalled his peak physique and mindfully wrote, “Arnie was a strong 6’1/weak 6’2 in his prime but years of compression on his spine and the many injuries he’s has has made him lose a God 2-3 inches. Let’s not forget he is 5 years from 80.” Another fan asserted that he is still the same height, whereas Bert is 6’7 himself, and also a “superior athlete.” 

“Look up the photo of him with Wilt Chamberlain and Andre the Giant!” a comment implied. Another fan taking his side pointed out that years of lifting heavy weights haven’t helped his back at all. Therefore, many others like him “shrink by inches.”
