He raised the bar high with his impressive persona as he ruled the fitness industry for four decades. At 54, the ubiquitous fitness champion still works hard to maintain the stature that he built during his prime. But, how does he do that?

With his jutting cheekbones and muscular prowess, O’Hearn is undeniably the most elite athlete.

Interestingly, Bjornsson also conceded with O’Hearn’s idea of focusing more on bone density rather than “doing half reps on everything”. Clearly, the 54-year-old is indeed the product of decades of rigorous workout sessions but with the right approach.

O’Hearn’s approach to keeping the body robust

Winning the bodybuilding title at only 14 and then moving forward with that winning attitude till 54 requires great strength and a hoard full of moxie. Nonetheless, the powerlifter, Mike O’Hearn has done that and still is unstoppable. He believes, ‘to keep the body healthy you gotta shock it and don’t go to the easy stuff”. Interestingly, for the martial artist, “range of motion” and keeping the body “as functional as you can” will definitely give the power for the long run.

The fitness star loves what he does. Now, he is guiding the young generations toward a healthy lifestyle.
