Jan Olejko,75. To age with a smile, even when the iron hurts.
It is a testimony on how to age in good health and How to deal with injuries and the millions of age-related complications.Take Wes, Oldtimer, CoachisBack, and they will tell you that getting older is extremely difficult, especially when you have been bodybuilding, but to last this long and be able to go on stage is truly incredible. Don't look at it like you would look at the horrible Bhank who will die before the age of 50 but if one day you reach 60 you will probably be in poor health and then you will realize that this performance is crazy.
Compared to a corpse he looks great but is that meaningful?If a decrepit 95 year old who can barely walk from the nursing home happens to make it to the same stage then Arrington loses his title.His "record" is similar to those 90 year olds running sprint races.Does Jim actually look at photos of himself in these shows and what does he think about his physique?
This guy deserves a ton of respect. What bothers me about this is that this shows that you can do everything possible to try to maintain muscle cells and at some point no matter what they will always die. You can bet that this guy trained hard, probably ate an adequate amount of Protein and new more the healthy end of bodybuilding than damn near anyone and no matter what his muscle cells steel died and likely there’s nothing that can stop it.
I disagree with EVERYTHING you said on this matter. But you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that
90 year old guy doesnt lift at allApart from a bit more belly fat they look the sameArrington has been lifting all his life
This is as amazing as what Ronnie Coleman did.The guy stands on his legs, is still fairly straight, walks without difficulty, shoulders that still seem functional and has muscles without fat.The guy can rely on his knees, hips and lower back.Very few of you will come out of this whole without pain or surgery and no one will be here at 92 years old. All the heavy loads that you have lifted like idiots will cost you your healthy old age with a still functional body.
Cool story. No one knows this guys name so there is that. Jim's been on tv shows, magazines, billboards, books, etc, all over the world.
and amazingly physique wise is no different than someone who doesnt even lift or has never liftedMy point is there is a time when you shouldnt be onstage in budgie smugglersHes 20 years way too late
I would never compete now or at that age as I know I look like crappola. But I suspect it keeps him both motivated and busy. Better than doing nothing and/or voting Democrat.
Truer words have never been spoken
