Surprises come in many shapes and forms, and Joey Swoll discovered that on TikTok. The fitness influencer usually reacts to trending videos on the internet that portray people’s experiences in the gym – good and bad. This one time, however, he did not expect that he would walk away with a new lesson. And he has a granny in the gym to thank for that.

A viral TikTok featured an old lady in the gym showing one of the gym-goers an impressive posing trick. It immediately seemed to make him look bigger and have more definition. Swoll did not believe it until he tried it himself. Read on to find out what happened!

The short video featured a built-up old lady in the gym looking at one of the gym-goers pose in front of the mirror. The person in question was trying a bicep flex by holding onto his wrist and standing upright. The lady immediately advised him to lean back a bit for the pose. The result? A visible back and a fuller-looking form. Swoll reacted to this video with skepticism.

The influencer went to the mirror and struck the regular pose first – standing upright, holding on to his wrist, and flexing his biceps. And then he tried out granny’s trick and leaned back and down. Swoll was stunned to witness an immediate change in his form. Fans went wild with their comments, appreciating the lady and noticing the difference.

While others seemed extremely happy about granny knowing the tips and tricks.

Being a rising star in the fitness industry, Swoll has often garnered attention for his reactions and bodybuilding content. However, he once received a huge compliment every bodybuilder dreams of.

Arnold Schwarzenegger met up with Swoll

Just like any other bodybuilder, Swoll has been a huge fan of Arnold. When he met him in December 2022, the influencer tweeted a video expressing his joy upon meeting the legend. This snowballed, and eventually, the Terminator responded!
