Seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s determination and discipline can hardly be matched by anyone. Despite being at the tough age of 76, the bodybuilding veteran ensures to train regularly and follows a healthy diet. Even though he retired from the sport decades ago, Arnold maintains an active and healthy lifestyle, as he has already faced his share of health troubles, including two heart surgeries.

Adding to the list of troubles, he recently had elbow surgery as well. However, no surgery is big enough to keep ‘The Austrian Oak’ away from the iron. In his recent Instagram post, he uploaded a video of him training days after the surgery, as the lifting community expressed their disbelief over Schwarzenegger’s dedication to fitness and the gym.

Schwarzenegger underwent elbow surgery for his right arm to fix issues related to nerve damage. Surprisingly, the operation took place just days after he made a shocking revelation about his second heart surgery, where he was told that the success rate would be only 60 percent. Despite having a bandage on his arm after the elbow operation, he was recently at Gold’s gym training deltoids, according to his recent Instagram post.

 

The caption of the post read, “Comebacks are a part of life. I was pumped to get back into the gym after my little elbow surgery. What are you coming back from? Join us in Arnold’s Pump Club at the link in my bio.” Schwarzenegger’s energy was visible in the video as he showed off his bruised arm by pulling down the sleeve. Arnie described his health issues as “a little nerve situation” that required surgery. “The doctor said that I can go back to working out. To take it easy,” Arnie said in the video.

After coming across the post, many bodybuilding veterans and people from the lifting community expressed their love and wishes for a speedy recovery in the comments.
