Bodybuilding molded Arnold into the man that he is today. From earning him fame to giving him the reputation of a legend, the sport is an inseparable part of The Austrian Oak. He may not be competing professionally, but that’s not a reason for him to stay away from the gym. Sharing the clip in an Instagram story, it’s needless to say, it was done in an attempt to keep the fans inspired and motivated.
In the shared video clip, Schwarzenegger, dressed in comfortable gym wear, was seen working with the shoulder press machine. Even in his prime, Arnold earned accolades for his impressive upper body. At the bodybuilding events, his shoulders and biceps was the show-stealer.
It’s often claimed that he had an upper arm circumference of 22 to 24″. The secret to achieving such sleeve-busting arms was a training technique called “21s.” As the video continued, Schwarzenegger remained undazzled by the surrounding. Engrossed in his workout, the only sound heard in the video was the machine’s screeching noise.
