"Common Arnold W" - Fans react to Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'meme marketing'
Arnold Schwarzenegger, considered one of the most successful bodybuilders of his time, is no stranger to the Mr. Olympia title. The Austrian Oak has claimed the prestigious award a record seven times. Only Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney have bettered that by winning eight.
Schwarzenegger is now 75 years old but still works out, although not rigorously due to his age and health condition. On Tuesday, Arnold Schwarzenegger posted a meme speaking about his e-book. Along with the meme, the Governator wrote the following caption:
"Kids these days. Listen to the experts, get the free e-book at the link in my bio and hit the gym and lift each other up."
In the meme posted by Arnold, we see a teenager starting a conversation with a bodybuilder. The teenager writes that he has begun training at the gym, is doing exceptionally well, and doesn't need any help. In the following image, a professional bodybuilder asks the teenager to slow down and insists that even pro bodybuilders need extra help.
The final image of the meme shows another bodybuilder talking about Arnold's e-book. The meme says:
"I love the positivity, gentlemen! Check out this new E-book from Arnold. I think it's a great place to start when it comes to setting goals and staying in shape."
In response to the meme posted by Arnold about his e-book, one of his followers wrote:
"Common Arnold W."
This comment alone has garnered 2353 likes so far. The link to get the free e-book is available on Arnold Schwarzenegger's Instagram bio.
