Whenever anyone says the name Arnold Schwarzenegger, automatically, a rough and tough, tall and solid body comes to our minds. But that is who the Austrian actor is. Before becoming a sensational action hero, he was a professional bodybuilder. The 7-time Mr. Olympia title winner shared some of the tips for building a competition-winning physique like him.

Despite being a 75-year-old man, the Commando star still works out and tries to stay fit. He shared some of his favorite exercises per Men’s Health, which would help gain muscle and make you strong. If you want to create a 57-inch chest like the actor, he suggested the flat bench press and incline dumbbell press. While sharing this exercise, Schwarzenegger also shared a tip related to the exercise as well. For this one, he would prefer your grip to be wider than your shoulders while pressing the bench. It will help pectorals to do all the work.
