Wow! That's actually kind of impressive!

His skin looks surprisingly tight. Obvious distended abs, but holding on to some muscle especially in chest and back, and extremely low fat percentage.

First, Im assuming he never got stupidly huge. Built slow and steady, not a lot of weight fluctuations,  probably very consistent diet year round, probably medium weight, moderate intensity,  volume, and exercises outside of bodybuilding,  like bodyweight exercises,  tumbling, gymnastics?

What do you suppose this guy took to get in this kind of shape? HGH? And???

I think a pacemaker, two stents, hip and knee replacements, and a glass eye.

No matter what looks great for 80. His last words may be “cream of rice is pretty good” but respect for living the dream as he sees fit.

Yes impressive, plus that gut control issue shows he’s juicing pre-contest. Kind of like those grandmas who live to 104 and always smoked cigarettes.
