Toshisuke Kanazawa: Meet 81yr Old Bodybuilder (pic & video)

At 81 you would have thought it’s time to watch others lift weight while taking a rest. Not for Japanese bodybuilder Toshisuke Kanazawa whose physic is so stunning you’ll never believe he’s an octogenarian.

Kanazawa was a multiple bodybuilding champion in his youth days. He retired at 34 and started living life the way he wanted, eating, smoking and drinking at will. At a point he looked at his body and felt bad, that this was not the body of a champion. When he was almost 50 years old he got back the motivation he needed and went back to bodybuilding. His body gradually came back to its cute shape.
Reports say that about 30 years ago, Kanazawa’s wife started feeling sick frequently, and while thinking of ways to make her feel better, the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. In order to please her, he decided to go back into the gym, drastically change his diet and regain his toned physique.

To stand a chance of losing his flabby gut and becoming “Japan’s best bodybuilder” at such an advance age, Toshisuke had to give up smoking at drinking and adopt a diet based on unpolished rice, “natto” fermented soybeans, miso soup with eggs and protein supplements, but no meat or fish because they were too difficult to digest.
