A few years ago, Muscle and Fitness shared an article about John Cena talking about a few rules about working out. Surprisingly, he recalled not being able to do Olympic Lifts perfectly, which bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger did without any effort.

The 16-time world champion said, “I remember when I started doing Olympic lifts. I couldn’t do them. And I came to the junction in the road where it was like, ‘Learn how to do these correctly—or don’t do them again.’ And I dove all in. It was very humbling. But it worked out.”

The Austrian Oak took part in Olympic weightlifting competitions around 1965. Moreover, his highest snatch record is 243 lbs. (110 kg.) which is comparatively less than the WWE legend. John Cena once shared a video of doing a snatch of 137kg (304 lbs).

As Cena mentioned in about, he learned to do it perfectly and he surely exceeded himself. The former WWE Champion went on to break Schwarzenegger’s record by a difference of almost 17kgs or 61lbs.

Surprisingly, listening to music is not one of them. He said, “I don’t listen to music when I lift. I don’t listen to music before I go out for WWE, either. I just like to hear the audience.”
