Shaquille O’Neal bodybuilding fitness routine

Overview

Retired NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal, 54, has gained attention for his commitment to a bodybuilding-style fitness regimen. Following hip replacement surgery in 2023, O’Neal transitioned from running to walking on a treadmill and now trains four days a week, combining low-intensity cardio with weightlifting.

His routine focuses on high-repetition exercises, such as cable chest flies and lat machine variations, to achieve a muscle pump. O’Neal’s fitness efforts recently gained viral traction on TikTok via an 86-second workout video in which he playfully referenced Arnold Schwarzenegger with the caption, “Here I come Arnold Shaqanager.” While the video was intended to showcase his physique, social media commentary also focused on the movement of his clothing during the exercises.
