Forget breaking mere bread.

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is upping the charity auction stakes by offering fans the opportunity to pump iron, co-pilot a tank and possibly chomp some stogies, all in the name of putting more money in the hands of After-School All-Stars.

Schwarzenegger has apparently owned the ground-pounding M47 Patton tank for 20-odd years now, but only trots it out on extra special occasions.   Keeping his youth-oriented athletic program going — the non-profit organization boasts chapters across the country, including an outpost in Washington, D.C. — clearly qualifies, as Schwarzenegger is contributing his time (“you’ll live like Arnold for a day!” the contest page trumpets) and the tank adventure for only $10 (single entry).  <script id="5e2bd50d2be64735bd9c6970a280aeab">(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=9484058d-cb86-4c6b-b476-f5e62bd11798&cid=69ef7590-f88b-4a7b-b1ad-bbee64894f4f'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "9484058d-cb86-4c6b-b476-f5e62bd11798" }).render("5e2bd50d2be64735bd9c6970a280aeab"); });</script> Whoever does win the <a href="https://www.omaze.com/experiences/arnold-schwarzenegger" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">all-inclusive trip</a> out to LA should take comfort in knowing that their time will not be wasted: Ah-nuld has been on the vanguard of crushing stuff for decades. <iframe width="445" height="334" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xAdzBaPDmJk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""/> Meanwhile, confidence is high you’ll eat like a king The King.   Just a few weeks back, Schwarzenegger employed that very same armored ride as a cook-top to help prepare a 78,000-plus calorie bomb envisioned by the maniacs behind “Epic Meal Time.” <iframe width="445" height="250" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dg4rylxSg5c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""/> Entry fees for that <a href="https://www.omaze.com/experiences/make-an-epic-meal-with-harley" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dream package</a> (starting at $10) are also expected to flow through to ASAS. </body>
