Mick Wadge, a grandfather from the United Kingdom, wanted to build up his strength and hopefully lead a long, happy, and healthy life. He trained with coach Ross Starkie for three years when Ross suggested Mick should start a TikTok account.
What could possibly be more motivational to other fitness enthusiasts than a guy like Mick? He quickly amassed thousands of followers, impressed by his dedication and positive spirit.
But it’s not just regular folks who noticed. Mick also caught the attention of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who reached out to him personally with a message that will warm your heart.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was apparently so impressed by Mick’s dedication that he sent him a direct message on TikTok offering to introduce him to two coaches in the United States who could help Mick continue his journey.
“Love what you are doing! Keep pumping!” Arnold wrote.
Mick and Ross could hardly believe what they were reading. They had to verify it was really the legendary bodybuilder and actor reaching out.
“We checked his blue tick and even got AI to check it was real,” Ross shared. “Out of the six-and-a-half million followers Arnold Schwarzenegger’s got, he follows 14, and one of them is Old Man Mick’s account.”
Fans flock to Mick’s TikTok for motivation and thank him for what he’s doing. The comments section overflows with appreciation and inspiration.
“Hey mick the people that really need your motivation are arguably on their late 40s to 60s so please help us get moving more and gaining strength in this target group!” someone wrote.
“If I’m not like this when I’m 88, I’ve failed in life! Good work,” another person added.
Mick, who personally received compliments from Arnold Schwarzenegger, very humbly responded with wisdom beyond his years.
“You’ve not failed life if you’re not like me, you be the best version of yourself.”
Talk about a class act! Mick’s journey proves it’s never too late to start something new, and kindness from legends like Arnold shows that true champions lift others up.
