Mike O’Hearn just gave an extremely profound way to look at bodybuilding in his new video. The 54-year-old Titan considers bodybuilding to be art and the Gold’s Gym is like a museum to him. His outlook will transform the way many people think about fitness too! The bodybuilder, who has the fountain of youth stored in him, shared his idea about being shirtless inside the gym.

He is never shirtless inside the mecca of bodybuilding but why?

Mike O’Hearn considers bodybuilding to be art

The YouTube video was named, “Don’t Disrespect the Dojo,” which is a pretty big hint at what O’Hearn might be getting at. He is never shirtless in the gym, and now that he says it, many people will notice that it’s true! He never showed his jacked physique inside the gym while working out. But why? The bodybuilder stated, “I cover up because I still don’t think that I am ready to unveil this artwork in this place but that’s how I think of this gym. This is how much it means to me.”

The Titan pointed out that there are greats like Arnold, Flex Wheeler, and Chris Cormier who came to the Gold’s Gym and who have done legendary things for the industry and set a golden standard. There should not be any other bodybuilder shirtless on the same premises. He believes that their physique is an art and that being shirtless while working out is not the ideal way to respect them. It was a pretty deep thought that even made his gym buddy conscious of his sleeveless clothing.

He said that a random guy might like to become shirtless in front of the greatest physiques in the history of mankind, but that is not how O’Hearn rolls. O’Hearn, who worships the gym and always talks about longevity, further said that he respects the mecca of bodybuilding and the art of bodybuilding. His outlook is very profound and makes one think. He even pointed out once that TRT and HRT are not bad and they are just like medicine for the body.

Mike O’Hearn defends the use of HRT and TRT

While speaking to Dr McClain, the renowned expert running regenerative and sports medicine practices, the Titan talked about TRT and HRT. He mentioned how the human body is a beautiful thing, but when it falls sick, the doctors recommend medicine. He associated TRT and HRT with something similar. Something like a cure for the body when it is falling apart, just like when people go to therapy during cancer treatment. He said, “HRT is something you can use when your body starts falling apart, and isn’t wouldn’t that be considered in a sense to a layman’s person well, you’re fixing something wrong with you. So, you can live a better life. This is a medicine.”
