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.

Interestingly, when Hemsworth recently met his childhood idol though, their encounter was a bit awkward. Where did the duo meet though? Let’s find out.
