Arnold Schwarzenegger pulled a prank on fans on social media.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has kept his physique in shape in retirement but just how good is his flexibility? The bodybuilding legend decided to play a prank on his fans on Instagram performing splits on his kitchen counter.

Schwarzenegger built a career that has him known as the greatest bodybuilder of all-time. After coming over from Austria, Schwarzenegger caught eyes because of his insane physique and turned it into a legendary career on stage. On his way to seven Olympia titles, Arnold did great things for the sport of bodybuilding as a whole. He continues to be an influential figure in the sport.

The 75-year-old bodybuilder continues to train in the gym. He has changed his diet and nutrition plan, which he has been open about. Schwarzenegger claims to be following a diet that is 80% vegan.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Pranks Fans

The video began with Arnold Schwarzenegger seemingly propped up on his kitchen counter in a split. He positioned a pair of prop legs and stood in the center to make it seem like it was him.

“Mobility and flexibility are so important to me. Subscribe to the Pump Club at the link in my bio for more tips and tricks ????.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared in the video with a cigar in his mouth. Many fans were interested in the video as it racked up over 100,000 views in under an hour.

“Flexibility is just as important as weight training itself. So here we go. Suck it in.”

From his “starting” position, Schwarzenegger then began to stretch his upper body back and forth.

“Up with your arms and then reach slowly to the side. Nice and then the other side.”

The video ended with Schwarzenegger finishing his stretches and walking away from the counter, revealing that the legs were indeed fake.
