Schwarzenegger said that GnashBrowns should be proud that he was not afraid to fail. Because people can only fall so much and once they hit the ground, there is no other way for them but be back up. Failing and falling are nothing to be scared of, cites the original “Terminator.”
The former California governor lauded the courage of GnashBrowns for not giving up just as easily despite getting embarrassed. Schwarzenegger said that the young weightlifter could have made excuses not to walk into the door but still proceeded. Despite being uncomfortable with the situation, and feeling awkward, he still went on, and that’s a sign of great weightlifters, according to Arnie.
Schwarzenegger also recalled how he lobbied for strongman Eddie “The Beast” Hall, who eventually broke a deadlift world record in Australia also in March.
Arnie said that the last guy whom he rooted for broke a world record in the deadlift. He said that GnashBrowns have more things in common with “The Beast” than he thinks, so he is also rooting for him too.
The “Commando” actor said that GnashBrowns took the first step and he fell. The good thing about it is that he fell in the right direction. He encouraged him to get back up and take the next step because moving forward from there is the only way to succeed.
