Sylvester Stallone Shows Off Massive Arms at 74 Years Old

Age is just a number for Sylvester Stallone and he is proving that by showing off his huge arms on Instagram.

Is Sylvester Stallone using fake weights? Have they been legitimate? One thing we do know is that whatever he has been doing — it seems to be working. In his latest Instagram post, Sylvester Stallone shows off the results of his hard work with a photo of his massive arms.

Over the last month, there have been discussions and rumors going around that Stallone might be training with fake weights. These speculations came to light thanks to an Instagram video that was posted back on June 7.

Stallone was videotaped lifting himself up from the ground while holding two 45lb plates. There is belief that this video was made for publicity. If that is the case, then it was done successfully since the video has been viewed 4.9 million times. Since then, the Hollywood star has taken to the social media site to show off some progress to his 13.3 million followers.

Most recently, the 74-year-old Stallone showed off his massive arms after a gym session that he did not want to participate in.

“Went to damn the gym today when I didn’t want to. But, Doing things when you do NOT want to , I found an extremely important key to success. Plus, I have to get ready to start doing some old school ACTION!”

For nearly 50 years now, Stallone has been an inspiration to those wanting to improve their lifestyle and build. He is continuing to do so by preaching keys to success, especially when it comes to the gym.

Stallone has been known for his impressive physique. He burst onto the scene in 1976 after the release of “Rocky.” Stallone went onto star in five movies within the series. In the midst of the craze surrounding Stallone as Rocky Balboa, he continue to show off his carved exterior during “First Blood” as John Rambo.

Stallone is up there with the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno when thinking of chiseled actors known for their build. Today, Stallone still features that rock-hard upper body and could be showing it off on the big screen soon enough.

In his Instagram post, Stallone mentions beginning to prepare for “some old school action.” It is unknown what he means by this but Stallone is part of three movies that are being released soon. We know that one is a voice role in the new “Suicide Squad.” Rumor has it that Rocky Balboa could be making a return, this time as a mentor. Nothing has been confirmed just yet.

Fake weight or no fake weights, there is no doubt that Stallone still hits the gym extremely hard. Stallone has shown that on Instagram and is on his way back to show it in movie theatres all around the world.
