Will Arnold Schwarzenegger's heart surgery prevent him from appearing in Brasil this month?

A major shock came followed by a calm this month when news broke that Arnold Schwarzenegger went under the knife for heart surgery. We were later greeted by the familiar words of a man that isn't going away anytime soon. "I'm back" were the first words tweeted by Arnold after surgery. But now that we know he is back on the road to recovery - the next question is whether or not he'll be able to attend the Arnold Classic South America. Arnold always appears at every Arnold Classic competition across the world - and it would be a shame to not see him interview the winners in Brasil. While there has been no official word on his travel status - the odds are pretty slim that we will see him at the upcoming Arnold Classic.

In the GI News report above, Shawn Ray also gives us an update on upcoming IFBB international shows, the status of Phil Heath's recovery heading into Olympia 2018, and the stunning guest lineup at the upcoming Pittsburgh Pro. Check it all out above.
