Arnold Schwarzenegger is considered a legend in bodybuilding. He rose to fame as the world’s top bodybuilder, launching a career that would make him a giant Hollywood star via films like Conan the Barbarian, The Terminator, and Total Recall. In addition, he had a physique that people could only dream of.
However, he once felt puny in front of WWE legend Andre the Giant and Basketball icon Wilt Chamberlain.
#tbt to one of the rare moments I felt completely puny, with Wilt Chamberlain and Andre the Giant. I absolutely loved the HBO documentary on Andre this week and it was an honor to be part of it. He was bigger than life. pic.twitter.com/04xn6jRbgU

Seven times, Mr. Olympia had one of the best physiques anyone could ever dream of. His huge chest and perfectly peaked biceps are unrivaled, even in today’s world of mass monsters and improved exercise technology. However, according to him, he looked very puny in front of legends.
Andre the Giant is well-known for being one of the largest wrestlers in terms of stature and physique. Andre the Giant was 7’4 inches tall and weighed roughly 520 pounds. Due to his great stature, he was also known as ‘The Eighth Wonder.’
On the other side, Wilt Chamberlain was a basketball star who was also fairly large in stature. Chamberlain was 7’1 as well. Anyone who is in the presence of these giants would definitely feel little in their presence, and Schwarzenegger is no exception.
