For years Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone has been a darling in pop culture, especially among boxing and fitness fans. This is mainly due to the success of his ‘Rocky franchise but also partly because of his incredible work ethic and charming persona. Thus, it shouldn’t be surprising when a renowned fitness YouTuber and bodybuilder tried to mimic ‘Sly’.

In a recent YouTube video, IFBB pro, and bodybuilding legend, Greg Doucette tried to replicate a workout done by Stallone and also parody the original workout.

The bodybuilding icon can be seen holding two 45lbs plates in his hands while kneeling on the floor. He then proceeds to pick up the plates and stand upright using his shoulders and forearms after which he hilariously screams. “I’m Sylvester Stallone“. Moreover, the video cuts briefly to Stallone doing the same workout.

This was not all as the fans were also quick to jump in and share their thoughts on the video.
