Arnold Schwarzenegger shares golden bodybuilding advice for a chiselled chest with NBA icon Shaquille 'O'Neal on The Big Podcast With Shaq
Shaquille O'Neal, Image via Getty NBA icon Shaquille O'Neal is a self-proclaimed fan of popular Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger . From praising his bodybuilding techniques to the Terminator star's dedication towards his fitness, the Boston Celtics alum has been one of the biggest fans of Schwarzenegger. During a recent episode of the popular podcast The Big Podcast With Shaq, the NBA star went on to receive some golden advice from Mr. Olympia with respect to bodybuilding. Shaquille O'Neal gets some great tips from Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger on bodybuilding During the recent episode of The Big Podcast With Shaq, the former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal had a conversation with Arnold Schwarzenegger about fitness and bodybuilding. In between the discussion, O'Neal straightaway went on to ask for tips behind maintaining a chiselled chest like Arnold Schwarzenegger from the early 90s. To which the True Lies star replied, 'In order to really get a great chest, there are four exercises that are very important. One of them is the bench press, then the incline press with a barbell, and then flies with dumbbells or with a flying machine. Now they have machines for all of that stuff, so it's with dumbbells or with a flying machine, and then the other one is the pullover. You know, that gives you the rib cage. You know where you go back, and you know, and really stretch your back and stretch your lats, and so that's the combination of those four exercises. Then when you compete in bodybuilding, it gets into more details with cable crosses and doing dips and all of those kinds of things.' Shaq Asks Arnold For Bodybuilding Advice, If He Liked Acting Over Politics & His Netflix Show FUBAR The Fubar star further elaborated, 'I think a basic routine—if you do, like, you know, those four exercises and do three sets each—I think you're going to get a really good, defined kind of pectoral muscle and chest. Then you can rip your shirt off anytime and then go, you know, make the chest go up and down, you know, and that's right exactly, and you know, and have fun with it and have all the people kind of look at it.' While citing his example, Schwarzenegger said, 'It really depends, you know, on how your joints are. Like, for instance, at my age, you know, I'm almost 78 now. I feel that it is better for me to train lighter and just to do more reps because every time I try to train heavier, then all of a sudden my shoulder hurts, or my elbow hurts, or something hurts.' Shaquille O'Neal has expressed admiration for Arnold Schwarzenegger's legendary physique and the way he built a diverse career beyond bodybuilding. He's noted his respect for Schwarzenegger's seamless move into acting, business, and politics, viewing it as an inspiring example for his own goals.
