Arnold and Ronnie Coleman train together again at Gold’s Gym

Two of the biggest names in bodybuilding history, one gym: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronnie Coleman have trained together again at Gold’s Gym in Venice, California. Coleman released the video on his official YouTube channel; in June 2025 the specialist site BarBend reported on it. On the menu: shoulders and arms.

The exercises are deliberately joint-friendly: machine lateral raises (3 × 15–20), rear-delt flyes (5 × 10), machine dips (5 × 15) and machine preacher curls (5 × 15). Between sets the two swap memories. Schwarzenegger, for instance, explains why he likes training before breakfast: “when we go to the restaurants, we want to look pumped up.” Coleman, in turn, hears from Arnold that high reps on biceps were his “trick” for that famous peak.

Schwarzenegger won the Mr. Olympia title seven times, Coleman eight. The pair had already trained at the same gym in August 2023, under the title “2 Goats Walk Into a Gym”. Above all, the new video shows that training in later life is possible and worthwhile when exercises and weights are adapted to your own body.
