7x Mr Olympia, Arnold Schwarzenegger has spoken about Shaq’s physical condition before. In a previous interview, Schwarzenegger expressed his surprise at Shaq’s unusual body fat percentage, he said after witnessing his meal, “Staggering, the way this guy devoured, and he burns it off by playing basketball and practicing, and that’s why he has such a low percentage of body fat“. Considering his towering stature. The 75-year-old Arnie was taken aback by the unique combination of Shaq’s size and low body fat, further emphasizing the impressive nature of the Lakers giant’s physical transformation.
Looking at the big man’s new transformation, the Austrian Oak may very well feel impressed. Shaq and Schwarzenegger met for the first time back in 1993, back when Shaq was an Orlando Magic player, with the Terminator describing the meeting as, “I think this is a whole new dimension; it seems to me. He (Shaquille O’Neal) came over today to Planet Hollywood, and he ate his lunch there. I’m telling you the waitresses went and kept bringing food, one meal after the other, and he must have eaten like 10 meals,” said Arnie.
Shaq’s transformation is a testament to his commitment and work ethic. The dedication he has shown in sculpting his body is a reflection of his drive to constantly improve and push his limits
