Few days ago, another bodybuilder named Jim Arrington made the headlines. There have been rumours that he was born prematurely and had several health issues as a kid. That started to change when he started attending the gym as a youngster in the late 1940s and made the decision that he wanted to get muscular like his favourite superheroes.
Reports suggest that Jim continues to workout for two hours at least twice a week at Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach, even after seven decades. He claims he has no intentions to retire, having competed in his final bodybuilding competition in 2022. As a result, at 90 years old, he is now the world’s oldest professional bodybuilder.
