Title: Ronny ROCKEL just won his comeback show !!
Post by: affeman on September 06, 2025, 08:41:27 AM
53 yrs old, just won the Masters division in Italy. Legs still on a totally different level than all the other competitors (there seems to be barely a guy over 50 with any leg development out there, probably because training legs is too hard for old farts)

It's not about not training hard, it's just one of the things that goes first when aging. Catastrophic quad tears aren't uncommon for older gym rats still training "hard" so you gotta be careful.

No tears, only back pain, so nerve damage and destroyed knees.
Once again, never do deadlift, squat, bench or overhead press.
Only machines..

Agreed

Would be even more impressive if his waist was 3-4 inches smaller

Impressive conditioning considering he's 53 and hasn't competed in like 6 or 7 years
