7X Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger has had a full life when it comes to professional ventures. He has tried almost everything possible, meeting with the biggest names on this planet, working with the most successful movie stars, and even proved his mettle in the realm of politics. However, everything started with his mere dream of becoming a professional bodybuilder. With his life journey, he has inspired countless individuals, including the likes of Chris Hemsworth, who is renowned for his role as ‘Thor’ in Marvel movies.

Chris Hemsworth, who is deep into fitness itself, has a fitness app of his own where he provides training and nutrition-related assistance to his subscribers, helping them to achieve a healthy and aesthetic physique. However, it was recently revealed that the motivation behind Hemsworth’s own ripped physique is none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s impact on Chris Hemsworth’s life

Everyone is aware of the impact that Schwarzenegger has in the field of fitness and bodybuilding. Despite being at the tough age of 76, he maintains an active lifestyle and trains regularly. His app, which goes by the name of ‘Centr’ has already helped countless people in their fitness journey. But what led to Hemsworth following this road of achieving a Greek-god physique? In the origin story of his app, it is revealed that one of the biggest influences has been of ‘The Austrian Oak’s.

“Nothing puts you in a state of burning discomfort like repping out on squats. His [Chris’s] uncle dabbled in weightlifting, too, and a teenage Hemsworth worked out with him in his garage gym, posters of a jacked Arnold Schwarzenegger all around.” This led to Hemsworth paying more and more attention to his nutrition as well as other training factors as well.
