Congrats to wes grandson!

[Humble Narcissist]

The steroids will kill him soon. He'll never see 110.

Jim seems to enjoy life.

Good for him.

What is a REAL Bodybuilder in your opinion?

In what organization is he a pro? And when (if anywhere) did he win any money in a contest?

[Rambone]

Ohhhhh, Jim!

[mryorkielover]

In what organization is he a pro? And when (if anywhere) did he win any money in a contest?

Jim is in the IFBB. Jim competes in the IFBB PRO LEAGUE MASTERS in Pittsburg and in the IFBB Pro League Legions Sports Fest in Reno. You have to have a Pro card in the IFBB to be eligible as the Oldest Pro Bodybuilder for the Guinness World Record Books.  Keep in mind that Jim is also the FIRST Pro Bodybuilder in the World to compete at the age of 90. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.  He competed at the 2022 IFBB PRO LEAGUE LEGIONS SPORTS FEST PRO MASTERS MEN’S BODYBUILDING +80 competition in Reno, Nevada on October 7, 2022 and won it.

So when people like some of the above think he is not a "Real" bodybuilder, you kind of sound silly. Jim has been bodybuilding since he was 16 and has competed Over 45 years. And regardless of what others think, Jim is in the record books, on tv shows, in print and digital magazines, etc, etc.

Now tell me what makes some of you attacking his credentials a "Real" bodybuilder?

How much did he win for that? The Masters O used to give $1000 to the class winners (over 50+, over 60+) back in the day. I haven't seen any footage of that show. With MD being the last periodical standing, that show got hardly any coverage whatsoever.

How did this guy look in his prime?

Per the iFBB website, only the top 3 in each category get paid at the Legion Masters show; and it's $1000 for 1st, $500 for 2nd, and $300 for 3rd.

Funny how you didn't claim to be a "real" bodybuilder. Not all Bodybuilders are Mass Monsters who take Steroids, have major health problems, and don't live past 70.
