He also very humbly brought back an ancient teaching by Lord Buddha where the bodybuilder said, ?I think Buddha said that people waste time to make money and then they try to spend the money to get time to be healthy.?

O’Hearn said that ultimately to regain longevity, one has to maintain their body and their mental health and concentrate on their own benefit. O?Hearn?s ideas are always applauded by the bodybuilding world and even the veterans of the classical era.
