Browns Running Back Nick Chubb is an absolute monster when it comes to the weight room activities. The exact reason behind his brute force and strength is the amount of time he spends at the gym, surprising his mates with insane powerlifting skills. But did you know the star even broke Arnold Schwarzenegger’s unofficial gym record?

A few months ago, even before the season had begun, the 26-year-old amazed the fans with his crazy squats that went viral across social media. The Georgia product squatted 675 pounds in one go, making it look effortless. Not to mention everyone inside the gym was stunned looking at his attempt. And guess what? He inadvertently broke Arnold Schwarzenegger’s unofficial record of 544 pounds by lifting 200 more.

Although the seven-time Mr. Olympia uses this kind of weight for his day-to-day workout and training sessions, surpassing them is still an achievement. The greatest bodybuilder of all time had some crazy figures, like a 498-pound bench press and 709-pound deadlift, but imitating them as a normal human or an athlete is hard to imagine. However, for Chubb, these skills were inducted from his school days at Cedartown.
