Hollywood has seen him save humanity from an apocalypse and command every scene with his staggering physique. Yet, at the end of the day, Schwarzenegger is but human. The actor had recently undergone elbow surgery to fix nerve damage a couple of weeks ago. However, in his latest Instagram video, the actor shared himself doing what he probably should not be – lifting weights! “Nothing can stop me,” the veteran actor declared in his caption.

“…this surgery wasn’t easy,” said the actor as he slid down his patch to show the bruises. Interestingly, he also had an explanation as to why he was hitting the gym instead of taking a rest. Apparently, the doctor had told him that he could go back to the gym if he “took it easy”. However, by the looks of it, it certainly was not that easy. Regardless, the fearless Schwarzenegger brushed all apprehensions off with an effortless, “so what?”
