“Sometimes, It Makes Me Cry”: Once Hailed as the Epitome of Human Physique, 75-YO Arnold Schwarzenegger Makes a Heart-Wrenching Confession

The discussions on the greatest bodybuilders always include IFBB legend Arnold Schwarzenegger’s name. During his prime, his physique was widely recognized as one of the finest, helping him secure six consecutive Olympia titles. The same aspect of the bodybuilder’s life was highlighted in a fresh interview. He even spoke on the matter, revealing a saddening revelation owing to his iconic bodybuilding career.

It has been over five decades since Arnold Schwarzenegger’s debut in the late 1960s. Therefore, even his grand physique has undergone changes that don’t seem ideal to him.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s struggle with aging and unwavering dedication to fitness

In the interview, while referring to his iconic role in the Hollywood series, Terminator, the source shared that even today he grinds at the popular Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach, like a “rusted T-800” while slowly moving around, giving in to his age. 

“He mills around Gold’s like a rusted T-800, with lumbering steps and an ever-so-slightly hunched back,” it read. Besides, even his ideal “ostrich-egg biceps” don’t seem as pumped as before, and “his elbows ache.” Nevertheless, when asked if he still hits the classic poses, he disclosed the most heartbreaking fact with a smirk on his face: Schwarzenegger shared that he does, but only in private.

“Yes, but only in the bathroom because sometimes it makes me cry,” said Arnold Schwarzenegger in a chat with Men’s Health. His ideal proportions have eventually faded away into time, yet his zeal stands against it. After achieving great careers in bodybuilding, Hollywood, and politics, the actor now takes his responsibility as a health and fitness influencer very seriously. And he is not ready to stop at anything.

From bodybuilding icon to social media influencer and beyond, what’s next for the multi-talented legend?

With his progressing age, the seven-time Mr. Olympia doesn’t speculate depending on his abs, chest, or biceps. Arnie ensures that he excels in any field he sets his mind to. As if that weren’t enough, he has also seamlessly integrated himself into the Gen-Z era as an iconic social media influencer. More so, the social-media boom has proved to be a great platform to spread his message and staggering mindset to the youth.

Besides his 413k+ subscribers to his newsletter, Arnold’s Pump Club, he also boasts of a massive following on Instagram (24 million) and TikTok (5.9 million). His upcoming Netflix dramedy, FUBAR, is set to release followed by a three-part documentary, Arnold, next month. Moreover, he intends to impart great motivation with his new book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life. At 75, in a battle against the test of time, the Austrian Oak stands tall and unwavering.
