Arnold Schwarzenegger always made it a point to turn heads around. Be it riding in his private jet, driving the military tank, following a monstrous diet, or working out in the gym, Arnie made it look easy. But the question that lingers is- how feasible was Arnold’s routine? Could anyone and everyone follow it? Well, resting queries to rest fitness YouTuber Aseel Soueid, in 2021, decided to work out in the Schwarzenegger way.

For Schwarzenegger, it was a cakewalk; even to make it easy for the upcoming generation, he left behind a blueprint. From discussing his diet to workouts, he never sighed from sharing his mantra! So let’s get into it and see what happened when Aseel Soueid tried it.

Trying out Arnold Schwarzenegger’s workout routine 

For Aseel completing celebrity workouts and diet plans is a regular job. But when he stepped into the shoes of Arnold for a day, all he felt was extreme pain. In the video shared, Aseel is seen attempting Mr. Olympia’s training blueprint.

The entire workout routine comprised 20 exercises. Starting with Arnold’s favorite exercise, the fitness enthusiast confessed, “I will literally not be able to move for three weeks if I did three sets of every exercise we’re going through today.”
