So, how does he manage to stay so fit in his 60s? Stallone works out six days a week, twice a day. Though, relatively shorter in height (5'9") than most of the other cast members of the film, Sly trained extra hard on traps and forearms to stand out. He says, "A tip for you guys out there who perhaps, like me don't have the height advantage but want to create a powerful looking shape — train your traps and forearms. That's something I did for the film. Something I've learned over the years, it creates the illusion of being much, much bigger."
