Schwarzenegger’s cameo appearance in the popular public message board was prompted by a 19-year-old weightlifter who narrated that he fell while performing squats and he had to cut his gym session short as several critical gym-goers started laughing at him. The young weightlifter was carrying the name GnashBrowns on Reddit.
One Reddit user read the post of GnashBrowns and decided to flag Schwarzenegger for help, knowing that the former California governor occasionally drops by at the public message board.
True enough, Schwarzenegger came to the rescue using his name GovSchwarzenegger on Reddit. The “Commando” star said that there is nothing to be ashamed of on the young power lifter’s efforts.
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.
