For decades, individuals who have pushed the limits of physical strength and aesthetics have graced the bodybuilding arena. But as age catches up, even these iron-willed veterans acknowledge that their prime days of lifting brutal weights are behind them. The 50-year-old veteran, Ronnie Coleman, who wishes to remain anonymous, has competed on stages worldwide and has etched his name among bodybuilding legends.

With age, however, he has realized that his body isn’t as receptive to brutal lifts as it was in his prime. Lee Priest, who secured sixth place in Mr. Olympia, is a well-known, heavily tattooed, and muscular bodybuilding star. When he started his bodybuilding career, Lee used to train his entire body three times a week.?In a YouTube short video, he talks about this alteration in workouts that will help a person in the long run.
