When you’re Shaquille O’Neal, you can pretty much do whatever you want. Here’s Shaq have the best time ever doing curls at the gym. Pure Diesel power.

There will never be another Shaquille O’Neal in NBA history. His size and raw athleticism helped make him a four-time NBA Champion with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat. Having to guard Shaq in the low post in the 1990s and 2000s was the worst assignment a big man could draw in the NBA.

Now that Shaq’s employer Turner Sports is not covering the 2017 NBA Finals, it’s now time for O’Neal to get in even better shape during the television offseason. We’ve seen him turn random dudes into Chris Dudleys during pick-up games. There was also a ghastly image of his toes appearing on the internet the other.

Now we have seen another bit of Shaq internet gold here on Wednesday morning. Here is O’Neal pumping iron in a hilarious, albeit suggestive manner. While he may be kissing and even licking the 30-pound dumbbell, you know that these reps are giving him even more diesel power. Like he needs it, but whatever.

Throughout his playing career and his transition into on-air basketball analysis, Shaq has never been camera-shy. While his acting chops definitely needed some help in the cinematic masterpiece known as Kazaam, nobody looks as good on Instagram than Shaq pumping iron.

Though he’s never going to play a meaningful basketball game for the rest of his life, O’Neal has no issue with asserting his dominance by any means necessary. It’s kind of a power move to kiss the dumbbell while you cordially invite the internet to the gun show. Then again, gyms are not always the cleanest places on earth. Hopefully O’Neal has a some mouthwash in his gym bag.
