90-Year-Old Bodybuilder Reveals His Secrets

What does it take to become the world's oldest sporting deliverer

The incredible, 90-year-old Tim Carington is here to reveal his secret. You have to burn

You're missing the most important thing. They say, no pain, no gain

But, uh, let's hear his surprising and heartwarming origin story. You know, it's boring

I'm a month and a half premature. I weigh five and a half pounds. And my parents struggled and struggled to save me

Have fun, Tim. Okay, thanks. I was an asthmatic, very unhealthy sicko my life

In 1947, when I was 15 years old, I decided that I couldn't do that anymore because I wanted to be a superhero

76 years later, Jim still hits the gym regularly. Yeah, I see Jim almost every day

He does more than a good 60% of my clients or anybody that comes in his gym

He does these guys. He does. Oh. Right now, I train three times a week, two hours per session

Jim has a few tricks for his longevity. Five years coming in

This business of doing 10 reps and holding the weight for 10 seconds, and then doing 10 more reps and doing that several times, you get to burn

No pain, no gain. But Jim's biggest secret is adaptability. What works for a person at one time in their life isn't the same

And that's the whole thing about lifestyle. It's adaption. To continue doing this, you know, so far into his years, it's an inspiration to me to know that I have the opportunity, hopefully, to be able to experience it for that long

And it's just awesome to see that he still has his fire and still keeps it all going

I want to be like you when we grow up. It's not just the workouts that changed over the years

But his diet is key. I used to do the old style. Lots of milk and lots of beans

Those are the two foods that I'm not allergic to. But it leads to inflammation

Changed my diet entirely. I'm doing more goulash, olive oil, mushrooms, things like that

But, really, if I do that, I can continue to change. And I can keep this thing up

I'll tell you something. I got 110% sure that you're going to go to heaven

Oh, good. Because you act like a king. Tim is a graphic filmmaker

He's a film-influenced competition winning bodybuilder. This is the year that I got serious and gained weight

My first contest, and I placed second, and in one of the most muscular, and I got two good ads

I've done many shows that muscle means probably 20 years ago. He's in first place, you know

First place! I was only saying it's over 80, but I got first place

Tim first achieved the record at the tender age of 83, and he is still competing

Being a Guinness World Record holder is what's the inspiration for me

I've done over 60 competitions. You know, I've been through that, I know

You know, it's opened an entire new universe for me. I've enjoyed it very much

I think everybody can do one of them. But I think the facility is too good to do that

There is no doubt that Tim is a true inspiration for young and old

And what inspires me is for people to come up and say I inspired them

I mean, 84 years young, you know what I mean, with abs, you know, muscular 84 years

I have a very low opinion of myself, physically, you know, as a bodybuilder

And I feel fantastic for me. And I knew the only way I could make it is that if I outlast everybody

And that's exactly what I did
