In the "collab of the century" legendary Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Mr. Olympia title holder Ronnie Coleman trained together at Gold Gym in Venice this week at the inspiring ages of 76 and 59.

The ultimate bodybuilding duo pumped iron in a new YouTube video Thursday as the two proved to audiences there is no age limit on strength and determination. In the iconic video, the two spent the day outside in the California summer heat as they encouraged one another on the workout bench as they pumped their biceps.

In the video, the two legends cheer each other on during their difficult sets. Arnold jokingly says to Ronnie: "For retired people like us gotta take it easy. That's enough Ronnie! They're exploding, stop it."

The former Governor of California was coached by Joe Weider, who was the creator of the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding contest. The famous athlete later went on to win the Mr. Olympia title seven times. Arnold first began his fitness journey at just 15 years old in Austria and at the young age of 20, won the Mr. Universe bodybuilding contest.

Ronnie Coleman had an equally impressive career as he is labelled as either the "greatest bodybuilder of all time" or the second greatest behind Arnold. Coleman previously held the Mr. Olympia title for eight consecutive years at the height of his fitness career. After being labelled one of the strongest bodybuilders of all time, Coleman was inducted to the International Sports Hall of Fame in 2016.
