I’m a 72-year-old bodybuilder more shredded than much younger men – every day I prove age is just a number

Andes allegedly smoked and drank so much before then that his doctor recommended he go to the gym to improve his health.

After a gym near his home in Madrid, Spain, Andes quickly took to bodybuilding and developed a passion.

A few years later, at 53, Andes began competing and even won a few shows due to his shredded physique.

The strongman broke powerlifting records in his age category and competed until the age of 72.

Tragically, in 2016, Andes died in a car crash traveling to competition in the city of Alicante.

Three others were severely injured but survived the event.

Either way, the bodybuilder's legend lives on and seemingly paved the way for other older bodybuilders who also prove that age doesn't define them.

For example, Lee Haney, 63, has revealed the secret to losing weight at any age.

Haney recently addressed his 274,000 followers on Instagram during a promotional post for his self-help fitness book, Fit at Any Age.

"The key to losing weight is to make sure your body is in a calorie deficit versus a surplus in calories being consumed," Lee explained.

Fans are likely to take Lee's thoughts to heart, given his bodybuilding resume.
