Shaquille O'Neal Puts Impressive Muscles on Display in Shirtless Video
Shaq is flexing his physique!
The former pro basketball star has been recovering from hip replacement surgery since March, and now he's showcasing his progress in a new video where he put his ripped figure on display.
Appearing in a gym with equipment surrounding him, he hopped up from his position on a bench press and commenced to tear his grey undershirt—which was dripping with sweat from his workout—straight off his body on-camera.
The 51-year-old then put on a mini performance as if he was on stage, jokingly striking a few poses to flaunt his large, muscular frame.
"in my former life i was @philheath," he opened the caption, referencing professional bodybuilder, Phillip Heath.
O'Neal continued his social media note: "we almost there @rocshabazz that @novexbiotech #gf9 baby."
In the comment section of the August 3 post, fans and followers applauded the NBA icon's progress but also didn't spare his feelings, adding a few jokes of their own.
"Shaq got in his second prime," one complimented, as another wrote, "Playful billionaire. In everything you do in this life try never to loose [sic] your childishness, it relieves you of life stresses and depression."
Meanwhile, several noticed his legs were much less muscular in comparison to the upper half of his body, dropping comical remarks about the NBA on TNT host "skipping leg day."
"Go for the legs. They doing a lot but won’t be able to handle more stress," one suggested, as another added, "Looks like you skipped a leg day. Like all of them."
Someone else hilariously pleaded, "SHAQ MY BOY please work out the legs man! Lmao.??????."
We're glad to see the basketball legend in great spirits a few month post-hip replacement, and even more happy that he hasn't lost his sense of humor!
