Arnold Schwarzenegger He is one of the greatest legends of bodybuilding. The seven-time Mr. Olympia winner has visited ‘The Pat McAfee Show’, where he has shared his weightlifting records. In this case, he has remembered his best time in the world of fitness, when he was physically at his peak.

“My best bench press was 525 (238 kilograms), my best deadlift was 710 (322 kg) and my best squat was 610 (276 kg)”he began by saying.

Those were my lifts then, but I have to say they are nothing to write home about compared to what some of the bodybuilders and lifters are doing today.“I can tell you that, because today there are guys who are doing squats with 700, 800 pounds and there are guys who bench press with 600 pounds.”

“They’ve really improved a lot, but you know, time moves on, people improve all the time, their muscles are better now, and thicker, with more definition and stuff like that.”the Hollywood actor continued explaining. “It’s a different time. But I was very happy with my lifts back then, and that made me grow very quickly.”

The former governor of California no longer lifts the same weights, but he continues to train at a high level, six times a week. “I go to the gym every day, I ride my bike, I go down to Gold’s Gym, I train for 45 minutes and then I come back on my bike.”. Also, leave one last piece of advice: “That’s something I do every day… Remember, if you rest, you get rusty. It’s that simple.”
