In less than a day, the social media update amassed 143.7k views and numerous retweets. The 75-year-old star insinuated that the aspect of his persona that can be mimicked most effortlessly, is his positivity. Not the Austrian accent or his insane 22-inch biceps, but his optimistic finesse. “The positive part is the easiest part of me to copy. A lot easier than the accent and the 22-inch arms,” he wrote. 

More often than not, The Austrian Oak’s foreign accent and brutal physique are what pique fans’ interests. However, through this update, he intends to spotlight another crucial aspect of himself. The post that originally sparked the conversation read as, “You are such a positive person Arnold, more people should be like you.” Additionally, the 7x Mr. Olympia urged his followers or the Arnold’s Pump Club to refrain from any negative remarks this weekend. Hence, the post stated, “So get going, #ArnoldsPumpClub. I don’t want to see any negativity in my replies this weekend.”
