Bodybuilder turned Hollywood icon, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has got the community talking once again over his latest show on Netflix, FUBAR. The action-comedy series has received mixed reactions from the fans, but most are simply elated to see him on screen after years. However, his declining age seemed to be an issue for a particular user, who took to Twitter to pinpoint Schwarzenegger’s biceps development at 75.

Filled with gratification, Schwarzenegger acknowledged the post with a brief note of thanks on Twitter, resharing it with a “Thanks for watching!” Hence, the animation encouraged a critical comment from a user. Taking a dig at The Austrian Oak’s ostrich egg biceps, the user wrote, “That’s Arnold’s bicep in Predator back in the 1980s, he won’t show his biceps now, it’s disappointing that he doesn’t keep them looking good, even at 75 a man can have nice biceps.”

Fueling the debate, another fan shared a recent picture of Schwarzenegger working out at the gym, highlighting his still shredded biceps. Still not convinced, the hater retorted with another comment on Arnie’s build.

The user claimed that the photo further “proves his point” as now his biceps are mostly composed of flabby skin, and he has little forearms now. Although, the user appreciated his “shape” as great for a 75-year-old. The fans couldn’t hold back their emotions and took turns dismissing the user’s comment.
