Bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger is a man of many talents. After moving on from professional competition, he made a name for himself in the world of entertainment and even found success in politics. In the freshly released Netflix TV mini-series Arnold, Schwarzenegger revealed he was left stunned by Linda Hamilton’s insane arms when the two worked together on Terminator 2.
Arnold Schwarzenegger first rose to prominence for his massive build as an IFBB Pro League Men’s Open competitor in the 1970s. Hailing from Austria, Schwarzenegger found his passion for bodybuilding at a young age and traveled to the US to fulfill his potential in the sport. After falling short of three-time Mr. Olympia Sergio Oliva, Schwarzenegger came back stronger than ever to secure his maiden Sandow trophy in 1970. He was a dominant champion who defended the title five times in a row and returned after a five-year hiatus to win his seventh Mr. Olympia title in 1980.
Following a historic career, Schwarzenegger chose to test out the waters of Hollywood. He applied the strong work ethic he developed as a bodybuilder and quickly found success in his new venture. His starring role in the fantasy Conan the Barbarian (1982) skyrocketed his celebrity. He proved to be a certified megastar with several box-office hits under his belt. He established his status in pop culture with a lead role in the sci-fi action film franchise The Terminator (1984), which amassed a cult following.
Schwarzenegger likes to motivate fans with workout updates and tips on how to lead a healthy lifestyle. He offered a quick five-minute workout that could be performed anywhere to start your day without the use of any equipment. He suggested performing the workout as a warm-up or first thing in the morning for better blood flow. Then, he detailed an intense workout of the week using cluster sets designed to boost strength gains and get the pump going.
‘The Austrian Oak’ laid out the negative effects of not sleeping enough when trying to lose weight a few weeks ago. He recommended his fans get at least seven hours of sleep every night and ideally aim for about eight hours to aid their weight loss goals based on research by Harvard scientists.
The 75-year-old reflected on the changes in his physique over the years last month. He admitted he didn’t like his physique in old age considering he ‘used to be the best-built man’ on the planet. He declared his plans to stay active forever and indicated no plans to retire anytime soon.
Arnold Schwarzenegger detailed four highly-effective ways to build a custom routine that fits into any schedule three weeks ago. He believes in forming habits one can follow consistently without overcomplicating things.
Last month, Schwarzenegger revealed Dianabol and testosterone as his two favorite PEDs (performance-enhancing drugs) of choice that he utilized during his days of competing on stage. Given the rise in bodybuilders dying from steroid abuse, Schwarzenegger cautioned fitness enthusiasts against taking gear due to the health risks.
Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals first response to Linda Hamilton’s jacked arms
In the Netflix series Arnold, Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed his reaction to co-star Linda Hamilton’s insanely cut arms when the pair worked together for Terminator 2 (1991).
He was left stunned after noticing how ripped Hamilton’s arms were and likened it to a bodybuilder.
“A few days before we start shooting, Jim Cameron says to me, let’s all get together and have a nice dinner,” said Schwarzenegger. “Linda comes in and then she takes her sweater off and I’m looking at her arms. Veins on the biceps and then the triceps.
“Everything was like a bodybuilder except miniature. I said, ‘I cant believe that son of a b***h is f***ing more cut than me,” Arnold told Daily Mail.
Arnold Schwarzenegger provided two brutal circuit workouts targeting the upper body last month. He also stressed the need to avoid thinking before workouts to improve consistency. He followed up with a grip strength test and another circuit training routine for longevity.
