Vince DelMonte: Hey, guys I have a very special guest here and he is a world class physique. You are a builder?
Male: I am a body builder.
Vince DelMonte You are a body builder and you guys know I always tell you, you seen those guys in your gym who are 75 but they look like they are in their 40’s? Well here is one of them. You would not believe how old this guy is. Do you want to tell them?
Male: No.
Vince DelMonte Okay, he is three years older than me plus five.
Male: I was born in 1943, I am 65.
Vince DelMonte This guy is 65 years old and one of the most impressive physiques I have seen ever on my life on a 65 year old, I love to get some advice. How do you stay motivated to get up on stage at 65?
Male: First off, age is a statistic and not a burden. There is no reason why you cannot be in the best shape of your life at any age if you just have the determination and discipline to do it.
Vince DelMonte: Wow!
Male: Really something.
Vince DelMonte: So from a weight-training standpoint what is a 50 year old plus guy looking at? Three times a week, ten times a week or how do you do it?
Male: Well, I train for body buildings so I am also a personal trainer and I work at Birmingham, Alabama YMCA and I got about 30 clients with ages 18 years old to 75 and all of them, first thing I tell them is that 80% of what you want to accomplish. You are going to accomplish with a knife and fork. The other 20% you are going to accomplish with me in the gym.
Vince DelMonte So it happens on the kitchen.
Male: It is all about diet. It is all about what you eat and how often do you eat. How much water you drink? The type of food you eat, what breakfast, dinner.
Vince DelMonte So how do you handle social situations, are you with the family, everybody is chowing down how do you risk the balance, how do you manage all that?
Male: My family supports me, my wife is Italian and she says now look this thing is not yours it is not mine so you can go ahead and have your tilapia and spinach but I am going to have eggplant parmesan and we are going to sit on the same table. Which is why that works out, she calls me and say what do you need darling, I said egg whites and I need beef and I need tilapia and I need salmon and an oatmeal and she gets it.
Vince DelMonte So you got the social support it sounds very important for you.
Male: You have to, I got two daughters, one of them is a 23 and she thinks daddy is really-really cool. I have one that is 21 that says I do not know about daddy and I it is okay running around and posing some ‘hmmm’ I am not sure if, it is okay dad. I am glad you like doing it. One-daughter loves it and the other daughter is not so happy about it.
Vince DelMonte Okay we have teased these guys long enough, get the shirt off bro, show them what you have and then pose down. This guy knows how to pose so he will probably make me look small. There you go, you are going to give me a there you go. Look at this guy, 65 years old like he said age is just a number and what did you say the start statistic is not a burden?
Male: Age is statistic and not a burden and there is no reason why you cannot be in the best shape of your life at any age if you just have the will of power to do it.
Vince DelMonte It is beautiful, you look tremendous.
Male: Thank you.
Vince DelMonte Thank you so much for the time and I wish you the best of this tournament.
