It’s great when a workout plan comes together. Comparing side-by-side pictures of yourself before and after and realizing how much better you look is a rush like little else. That said, perhaps that experience is a teeny bit more exhilarating when nothing other than Arnold freakin’ Schwarzenegger compliments you on your progress.

Superstar YouTuber MrBeast posted an update on how his workout plan is going, which consists of lifting and 12,500 steps a day. He admits he’s got a long way to go, but is absolutely looking better than before. And one of the greatest fitness proponents of all time was watching and ready with some encouraging words:

We are unbelievably jealous of MrBeast casually getting an invitation to lift with Schwarzenegger in L.A, but though we’re sure he’d be a very friendly workout partner, it’d be nervewracking to pump iron alongside the Austrian Oak himself. The replies indicate this is indeed going to happen, so expect this to hit YouTube very soon:

Arnie himself is having a moment in the spotlight right now. Netflix’s Fubar proved to be a very funny and action-packed ride through the espionage world with similarities to the classic True Lies. That landed roughly alongside Arnold, a fascinating deep-dive documentary into his career and personal life that didn’t pull any punches.

At 75, Schwarzenegger seems to be smoothly moving into an elder statesman role in Hollywood. We’re hyped to see him giving the younger generation some tips on weights, likely also showing us that even in his 70s you don’t want to go toe-to-toe in a lifting showdown with him.
