Arnold Schwarzenegger has been the source of inspiration for millions of people around the world spanning multiple generations. Such is the impact of the 7XMr. Olympia winner-turned-Hollywood star, that it has now reached a 3-year-old kid inside a gym in Ohio. This kid, the son of a Hip Hop artist, very often accompanies his father to the gym and works out with him. His father has so far recorded him doing bench presses, bicep curls, weight lifting, and other training regimes, ever since he was 1 year old.
In a recent Instagram post, the musical artist was showing his son doing bicep curls, when his son identified the former bodybuilding legend (possibly from a poster of Schwarzenegger inside the gym) and asked his dad about it. When bodybuilding from a very young age, it is only appropriate to idolize one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time.
