Bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger proves how strong he still is in new video on his ‘drop kick’ attack
- The Terminator star hardly flinches as man launches two-footed attack on him in a new video showing different angle
- The bodybuilding idol refuses to press charges, saying he wants the attacker to get his ‘life on the right track’
Bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger has always been strong ever since he dreamed of becoming a professional muscleman when he was barely in his teens.
At his bodybuilding peak and on his way to becoming a seven-time Mr Olympia, the Austrian Oak could bench press 500 pounds (226kg), deadlift loads more while showing feats of strengths that saw him hold numerous lifting records all over Europe.
His squats and deadlifts with his great friend, Franco Colombu, are the stuff of legends. Heck, he even managed to carry an entire tree trunk on his shoulders in Commando ... but that’s just make-believe Hollywood style.
Schwarzenegger might be past his prime at 71 but he proved just how strong he still is in a new video that has emerged from the attack by a deranged fan during the Arnold Sports Festival in Sandton, Johannesburg in South Africa last weekend.
The new video, which shows a different angle and has since gone viral, clearly shows the former Governator minding his own business as he takes photos with his fans while a skipping competition is underway. Out of no where a man drop kicks him in the back.
The attack surprised even his own burly bodyguard who wrestles the fan to the ground before dragging the culprit away. The fan could be heard screaming: “Help me! Help me! I need an opportunity!”
