Even at an age of 75, the Austrian Oak still hits the gym to maintain his giant physique. Further, the Terminator actor still has a few insights to share with his fanbase.

However, in 2019, while promoting the latest sequel of his trademark movie The Terminator, Schwarzenegger revealed something that annoys him in the gym all these years. What are the gym habits that annoy the seven-time Mr. Olympia? Let’s find out.

Schwarzenegger believes the modern bodybuilders only craves for ‘size’

The veteran bodybuilder has now seen all the phases of bodybuilding. Schwarzenegger began bodybuilding in his teens and has never stopped since. After experiencing half a century in bodybuilding, he believes that modern-day bodybuilders create an obsession with size. 

In a 2022 interview with Insider, Schwarzenegger commented some competitors only think about “size, size, size.” As the heat of competition increases, bodybuilders try as hard as they can to be victorious. He continued, “The more extreme it gets and the more competitive the top athletes get, the more they are lifting weights that the body was not meant for.”
