WATCH: Ripped Bodybuilders Over 70 Years Old!

We all know bodybuilding & physical fitness is an intense sport that requires hours of hard work in the gym along with the strict diet. So you would think that the prime age of a bodybuilder would be young and have a short shelf life. But bodybuilding is not just for the young guns, as we see many professional bodybuilders in late 40s and early 50s still place high at the Mr. Olympia.

Mr. Olympia 2016:

1. Phil Heath – 37 years old
2. Shawn Rhoden – 41 years old
3. Dexter Jackson – 47 years old
4. Big Ramy – 32 years old
5. William Bonac – 35 years old
6. Roelly Winklaar – 39 years old
7. Cedric McMillan – 39 years old
8. Dallas McCarver – 26 years old
9. Kevin Levrone – 52 years old

Some competitors continue to lift and pose well over their 60’s. That’s why there are Masters competitions. Today we are sharing some video of the old but badass bodybuilders:
