Weird asymmetry in the lower back. Or just optical illusion.

He's lost a TON of muscle mass since the 1990's. Still have to admire the guy though. At 4'10" he'll never ben taken seriously.

For his 50's he looks amazing.

Obviously age has taken its toll, but this guy has coined it over the years, extremely popular with the fans, always in demand for guest posing and appearances.

Yes, he's lost some muscle (he's in his 50s) but I wouldn't say he lost a TON of muscle.  I think it gets tougher to get ripped when your older and some guys sarcrifice some muscle to get to the necessary bodyfat.  Age will decrease muscularity some too.

Some?  Duh! Try A LOT.  There's a reason why you don't see a lot of guys in their 50s and 60s bulging with muscles.

The point is that he is still fairly muscular.
