And you thought all old people sat in wheelchairs all day. This is interesting and proves something I have thought and consider true. No matter the age if you take care of yourself you can do anything you want.
Japanese weightlifter Tsutomu Tosuka won first place in the seniours above 70 category in the 21st anneversary Japan Masters Bodybuilding Competition. What makes this interesting is he didn’t start bodybuilding until 40 which is when quite a few people end. So keep up the good work Tsutomu-さん.
This story is particularly interesting to me because I am interested in bodybuilding on a small scale. I don’t intend to go pro at it, but I have a feeling if I truly wanted to I could. Every so often i get the Bodybuilding bug and I’ll loose a bunch of weight and start to bulk up for a while. There are some interesting things to know about Body Building.
Here are some interesting facts:
- Pro-bodybuilders will eat 10,000 calories a day of food
- For a competition they will get down to about 3.5% to 4% bodyfat
- You die at below 4% body fat for more than a day
- 8% bodyfat you see 8 separate ab muscles
- 10% bodyfat you see 6 abs (six pack)
- 20% bodyfat is love handles
- 32% bodyfat is clinically obese
- They have HUGE belly guts they just hide it well
- In order to make vains pop during competition some competers eat vodka injected oranges
- 60 to 70% of bodybuilding is nutrition
Hopefully I can be as fit as him when I am old.

So does that mean if the competition is delayed for a day, either everyone will be (relatively) out of shape or die? O_O
