Meet an “Amazing” Bodybuilder

Jim Arrington, 84, not only has "abs of steel" but a whole "body of steel."

Jim Arrington, 84, not only has “abs of steel” but a whole “body of steel,” having just been named in the Guinness World Records 2018 as the world’s oldest male bodybuilder. He’s been body-building since he was 15. Talk about persistence – as Jim says, bodybuilding is hard work, and beyond the obvious necessity for goal setting, “You need to love the training.”

Since his retirement as a sales and purchasing professional, in addition to entering (and winning) umpteen body-building competitions, Jim enjoys time with his wife and family (including great-grandchildren), listening to classical music, tinkering around the house, traveling, and Formula 1 racing. How’s that for a diversity of experiences!
