'Jacked Up' Shaquille O'Neal 'Rips Apart His Shirt' to Show Off Transformation After Surgery, Slyly Compares Himself to 7x Mr. Olympia

Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most unique physical specimens the NBA has ever seen. Standing at 7’1″ and weighing close to 325 pounds, it’s safe to say Shaq is a big guy. However, since retiring from basketball, his fitness at one point was questionable. That being said, Big Diesel has been working on himself relentlessly in recent times. In fact, he recently shared a post on Instagram showing off his incredible new physique. Despite having had surgery a few months back, Shaq is looking great, even going so far as to compare himself to 7x Mr. Olympia, Phil Heath.

An avid Instagram user, Shaq is very active on social media. He loves sharing content with his 31,700,000 followers and often gives them a sneak peek into his many adventures. This time around, he decided to share the results of his amazing workout. A post, where he looks more jacked than he ever did before.

To say that Shaquille O’Neal is active on social media is an understatement. The big man loves sharing content online and loves engaging with his many fans. More often than not, his content is basketball related, but there are times when he focuses on himself, and the things he is doing in his life.

Recently, he took to Instagram, where he decided to post a video showcasing his new look and incredible physique. With some hyped-up music playing in the background, The Big Aristotle appeared on screen, where he ripped off his grey tank top to show how jacked he has become.

He then proceeded to pull off a few Mr. Olympia poses before comparing himself to former seven-time winner Phil Heath. His transformation is impressive, as his ripped biceps and abs were on full display for his millions of followers.

“In my former life I was Phil Heath, we almost there Rashid Shabazz. That Novex Biotech #gf9 baby!”

Shaq is showing that even at the age of 51, anyone can look as good as him. All it requires is a bit of determination and a lot of hard work. Kudos to him for inspiring millions to be their best selves, both physically and mentally.

Shaq looks great despite having had hip surgery a few months back

A while ago, Shaquille O’Neal went completely AWOL. The Inside the NBA analyst wasn’t seen on TV and rarely posted anything on social media at the beginning of the year. This had many concerned, as they wondered just what happened to him. Surprisingly, a few weeks later, he posted a picture of himself in the hospital.

The concerns grew to fears as many were shocked to see such a post. Fortunately, Shaq later explained that he had gone in for hip surgery and everything was well.

It’s been a couple of months now since O’Neal underwent surgery. And, if his recent post didn’t confirm it, it’s safe to say that he is feeling great.
