Fitness Freak Shaquille O’Neal Calls Out Charles Barkley for Faking Workout in the Gym: “It Wasn’t Running, and It Wasn’t Walking”

Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal was the most dominant big man during his prime in the NBA. The towering center could make anyone look smaller by his side. Unlike most humans, Shaq doesn’t lift weights when he works out because he uses whoever is near him as weights.

Recently, a hilarious video of O’Neal curling up NBA legend Reggie Miller in his arms went viral. A lot of fans thought it was hilarious. In his newest podcast titled “The Big Wardrobe Malfunction”, Shaq disclosed the history behind the Reggie bicep curl, among other things. 

The Big Diesel also revealed that Charles Barkley was also in the gym with them. But he called out Chuck for faking the workout.

Shaquille O’Neal laments Charles Barkley’s workout

During the podcast, Nischelle Turner said that Barkley has no filter on TV, pointing out when Chuck warned a Warriors fan that he would date his mom. She said that she couldn’t believe Barkley would tell something like that on TV. 

Then Spice Adams brought up Shaquille O’Neal’s weight room session with Reggie Miller. He said, “…What grown man just jumps into another man’s arms and curls like that?” Spice couldn’t even finish the question without breaking out laughing. 

Shaq said that he would pick Spice Adams up and curl him as well, and pointed to his biceps. He revealed, “…No, this is what we used to do when we were in the Olympics. So this is just me and Reggie would do…”

Adams said that was cool and asked Shaq to continue the tradition. Then Nischelle wanted to know whether Barkley lied about being in the gym and working out with them. O’Neal hilariously said, “Yeah, he was doing something on the treadmill and it wasn’t running and it wasn’t walking. I don’t know what he was doing!”

Barkley has always been criticized and trolled for his size and eating habits during his playing career. But he doesn’t shy away from the notion, he wears it like a badge and has fun with it. It isn’t without reason he is liked by most NBA fans.

In one of the “Inside The NBA” shows, Chuck said that he would rather have a bucket of chicken over Kim Kardashian and Halle Berry.
