Bodybuilding legend Lee Labrada still pushes himself to train hard at 65. In his latest YouTube video from May 22, 2026, he revealed his current training split that has helped him stay fit in retirement.
Competing during the early 1980s and 90s, Lee Labrada built a strong legacy against all-time great bodybuilders. Despite being outweighed by up to 50 pounds, he gave elite names a run for their money, including former eight-time Mr. Olympia winner Lee Haney and 1983 champ, Samir Bannout.
Even though he stepped away from competing, Labrada still serves as a top bodybuilding ambassador. He’s used his platform to offer up-and-coming talent workout and nutrition advice. His son, Hunter Labrada, followed in his footsteps and has emerged as a top Men’s Open contender.
Labrada has made longevity a top priority since his time onstage. He still boasts impressive muscularity and low body fat in his sixties. And now, fans can finally see exactly which exercises have helped him maintain his physique.

Labrada can still train frequently and with intensity. He joined 2000s bodybuilding icon Branch Warren for a grueling old-school arm pump workout. In between sets, Warren shared that depth has returned in the Men’s Open class after a dry spell.
“In the past three or four years now, there’s a lot of depth there. You got some good athletes and young guys coming up. You got Samson, Derek, Hadi, Martin, Hunter, Nick, you got these young guys.”
“Do they look like us in the 2000s? No. Did we look like you guys in the ’90s? No,” shared Warren. “I don’t know if that’s for me to say [if the Men’s Open is headed in the wrong direction].”
Labrada continues to guide the new generation of bodybuilders on the horizon. Based on progress photos shared through the years, this training split appears to be working for the IFBB Pro League Hall of Famer.
