?I Inspire Them?: World?s Oldest Bodybuilder Who Trains at the Mecca of Bodybuilding Spills His Secret to Being Fit at 90

Bodybuilding has grown as a sport over the years and has extended its boundaries to a diverse group of people. While the sport still values the most aesthetically pleasing physiques, age has become a fairly irrelevant factor. Thus, Jim Arrington is officially the World?s Oldest Bodybuilder at 90 years old, as per the Guinness World Records.?

Hence, in a recent interview with Men?s Health, the athlete shares his expert tips on maintaining and adapting to age and lifestyle as a bodybuilder. Moreover, he also discussed what keeps him going without any plans of retiring even at such an advanced age.?

Jim Arrington?s secret to keeping fit?

The 90-year-old bodybuilder has tried different approaches to his fitness regime at different points in his life. He believes there?s no one answer to staying fit, and that it keeps evolving over time. He said, ?What works for a person at one time in their life isn’t the same. And that’s the whole thing about bodybuilding: it’s adaption.”

The primary question that arises in one?s mind is what drives the need to compete at 90 years old. Arrington was born as a premature baby and battled through several health issues for the major part of his childhood, per the source. However, a flickering mindset in his teenage years encouraged him to follow the power of his favorite superheroes which drifted him towards fitness in the late 1940s.?
