19. Age is just a number to the world’s oldest bodybuilder.
Sometimes it’s hard to get up in the morning to do exercise, and as you get older, the struggle gets worse. However, for Jim Arrington, going to the gym to train is something that he loves at the ripe age of 88. And believe us, he’s in the best shape of his life. This great grandfather and retired salesman have been competing professionally in bodybuilding events for the last 70 years. The great part of this is that he’s good at it! He has competed in over 60 competitions and won 16.
Jim’s impressive muscular body wasn’t always like that. When he was young, people nicknamed him “Skinny Bones” because of how slim he was. As a result, he committed to training to be a bodybuilder and become one of the best. To maintain his physique, he chances his regime constantly depending on the goal he has for his next competition. However, most of the time, Jim Arrington does full-body workouts for over an hour twice a week. He also has a mostly high-protein diet to keep himself in good shape even when he’s not training for his next event. Talk about commitment!
