“Muscle is temporary. So is life itself.” -Tom Platz

Tom still looks great. #Respect

Tom Platz looks amazing and to this day still does ATG squats with 300lb for reps. Not bad at all for a 68 year old.

There is no way that any of those guys got that way without steroids It's amazing they are still alive

Paul Dillett fell on stage in the 1994 Arnold Classic but retired in 2012.

No matter how tough you think you are, time is tougher than anyone. - personal quote.

Can’t expect bodybuilders to look peak all their lives, the flesh weakens with age. Respect to the athletes who had the fortitude to compete ✊🏼

Jay Cutler also looks great even today💪

Tom still looks great for his age. Remember fellas muscle is temporary but improved connective tissue and joints will carry you through your lifetime.

Ronnie's story is heartbreaking 💔 That really sucks that he's wheelchair bound after looking like a superhero for most of his life

Makes Me Sad As. Especially Seeing Ronnie.

Tom looked great after retirement and continued to train pro bodybuilders..and has many great stories.of the golden era .

G. O. A. T Ronnie Coleman

Paul Dillett was a giant among giants!!! Legend! 💪🏾

Dillet was a monster in his day.

Tom is still out there teaching and killing it.

Tom is still a beast

Not a body builder, although I do enjoy working out. I experienced a total body cramp. I was helping a friend move and was sweating but didn't think much about it. My fingers, toes, back, legs, arms everything started locking up. I could only take very small steps but if I stopped it got worse. I drank 4 of the larger gatorade and 2 reg bottles of water within a hour. For a hour or more I was almost in tears. I have never cried from pain but brother that was as wicked as it gets. Stay safe and strong brothers.

Tom in this days he still looks good❤

Paul dillets physique was legendary, probably even ahead of its time

Ronnie didn't quit , he retired. Big difference boy

Tom looks good and he is alive, a very good final.

Tom still look great. No ones can stay on top forever.

Tom the quadfather , put some respect on his name G

Tom actually is the body builder who cept the most compere too any other ever ,his legs is still crazy .

“You have to achieve failure” -Tom Platz

But they are still alive... unlike others

No one can beat time

Tom platz still looks amazing

Proof health is more important than raw muscle and size.

There are still some bodybuilders in their 70s looking really good and they use to be in the Mr Olympia contest. Arnold Schwarzenegger is still training everyday although he's skinny you still training and then his late seventies🙏

lifting heavy didn't put Ronnie in a wheelchair, a botched spinal surgery did cmon people

My respect to all of them, you need to have dedication and sacrifice

Why this gives me Nostalgic vibes, reminds me when i used to travel with my mom and dad on summer holidays

Paul fillet looks great he looks fit and healthy why should he die to remain a monster he has secured his place in history!

Father Time is undefeated.

Bottom line is, if you don't take any risks you'll never know your full potential 👏👏👏

I'm with "stop look at me." *_rocky Stop look at meee_*

As you get older it all goes away

Jay Cutler still big, true bodybuilder and athlet

I had the privilege of working out with Paul dillet in the early 90s, he liked small uknown places where he wasn't bothered. He's the one who taught me about reversing my grip. Was only a handful of times, but he left his mark.

Tom is still huge

Dont work too hard, cause work wont end, the person will end

Everyone crosses limits, Bodybuilders and other athletes suffer with age, they deserve the same #respect

Dillet got out and looks good and still moves well. Good for him.

Tom Platz is 69 years old. He's still very fit and mentally he's sharp as a tack.

Wow, almost 1 second spent on showing how they look now. Bravo

We need a top 10 of bodybuilders which didn't change much after retirement, that would show who was natural.

Ronnie Coleman should be telling people stop look at me

It’s crazy how that much mass just comes off

Coleman had back issues before he even started lifting.

Tom Platz must sleep in a Tupperware box - looking FRESH ❤

Platz def deserved at least one sandow he was a totally underrated great bodybuilder

ronnie coleman was my hero, i cant believe hes handicapped now, so sad

Bodybuilding, like any physical pursuit, can be considered temporary for several reasons: 1. **Peak Physical Condition:** Bodybuilders often push their bodies to extreme limits to achieve a certain physique for competitions or personal goals. Maintaining this peak condition, which often involves strict dieting, intense training, and supplementation, can be unsustainable in the long term. 2. **Aging:** As we age, our bodies naturally undergo changes that can make it more challenging to maintain the same level of muscle mass and definition achieved during the peak of bodybuilding efforts. Hormonal changes, decreased metabolism, and other factors can all play a role in this. 3. **Injuries:** The intense training and heavy lifting involved in bodybuilding can increase the risk of injuries over time. These injuries can impact a bodybuilder's ability to train effectively, leading to muscle loss and potentially altering their physique. 4. **Lifestyle Changes:** Bodybuilding often requires a significant time commitment, strict dietary adherence, and a focused lifestyle. As priorities change or life circumstances evolve, individuals may find it difficult to maintain the same level of dedication to bodybuilding. 5. **Health Concerns:** Extreme bodybuilding practices, such as excessive use of performance-enhancing drugs or extreme dieting, can have negative effects on long-term health. These practices can lead to issues such as hormonal imbalances, organ damage, and other health complications. While bodybuilding can be a rewarding pursuit that promotes discipline, physical fitness, and self-confidence, it is important to approach it with a balanced perspective and consider the potential long-term implications on both physical and mental well-being. Many bodybuilders transition to more sustainable training approaches or adjust their goals as they age to prioritize overall health and longevity. 🤷‍♂️

True. True. Stop training hard, and the pounds melt away fast. So true is the old saying, "USE IT OR LOSE IT"

Tom is actually still super jacked his legs are still insane at 69 years old

Tom is aged well and he is doing great until today. Big respect to this achievement

Tom still looks great imo

Ronnie still bangs the weights with Arnold every day at Golds!

All that weight lifting really breaks you down.

a lot of bodybuilders still look amazing, those who still train regularly.

Respect to these guys though. They sacrifice so much looking like that😢❤️

Paul Dilletts genetics were insane.

The spinal injury one reminds me of all thr times I've hurt my back 😬

Incredible. Great content

They're still all bad ass athletes in my book. The discipline and will to get there never goes away, they just had more will than their bodies could handle.

Still legendary Men inspiring us to this day

Dorian, Cutler and Priest are still looking and doing great

Tom Platz went from looking like a younger version of himself, to looking like an older version of himself.

Ronnie was a beast

Tom and Arnold still look amazing. Ronnie just got really affected legs, else the man’s upper body is still good. These legends shall not be forgotten.

Tom is still putting in that work

Tom went from looking like 25 to 80 after just 55 short years. Truly sad

You make it out like these guys have transformed into something that we should be shocked at. They've just aged, but still look better than others of a similar age. Even though Ronnie uses a wheelchair, the guy is carrying way more muscle than any of us. Please don't do a disservice to these guys, they all looked insane at their peak and still look great now

Dillett actually retired around 2002-2003, not 2012. He had a one-off appearance in 2006 at a show, but in reality he barely competed after 1999. He was the freak of all freaks in his prime, Paul's physique in 1993 and 1994 was unmatched in history.

Does anyone remember Lyle Alzado? Alzado was one of the first major US sports figures to admit to using anabolic steroids. In the last year of his life, as he battled against the brain tumor which eventually caused his death, Alzado asserted that his steroid abuse directly led to his fatal illness. 1949-1992 RIP

😮🙏 Thank You So Much for All these Superstar Bodybuilders' sacrifices to show us mere mundane folks what our bodies are capable of when subjected to bodybuilding regiments & respective food intakes! We must appreciate & take good care of our fragile human bodies when young , so as to reduced the many bodily problems when we aged! 🙏🌷🌿🍎🍊🌍✌💜🕊

Should have shown Markus Rühl from Germany. Dude still looks like a beast

They went from looking like Greek gods to looking like, "Get off my lawn!" retirement. Age and muscle is temporary. But their greatness is forever legendary. Totally worth it if you were them.

Update your stuffs Ronnie is on his feet training now!!😮

Tom is now The Quadgrandfather. He looks amazing and at 70, still has huge legs.

At least they accomplished something great and are true legends.

Well this video is good for me on days I feel bad about missing the gym😂💪🏽💪🏽

It's insane how different these guys look after years of no lifting

High price to pay when you use all that juice

Robbie Robinson, looks the best of any ex Bodybuilder in the World 🏋🏽💯💪🏽 !

WTH?! Tom platz looks amazing for his age and he never stopped working out

They aren't failure ..... But they are motivation 💀

That Azhar mix is killer. Aim to Head channel is dope AF

Ronnie was the Man

The Quadfather did pretty darn good!

I love 'n respect body builders like Ronnie Colman

You either die a hero or live long enough to see your body sucumbe to the effects of Father Time.

Well, I'll give them this: they didn't sit around resigned to the Inevitability of Time. They lived their best lives.🎉🎉🎉

Tom Platz, a super strong version of JFK Jr.

BODYBUILDING IS UNHEALTHY, KNOW WHEN TO HOLD'EM, KNOW WHEN TO FOLD'EM.

Ronnie needs to contact DDP. Seriously, DDP has done some amazing things with people through his DDP Yoga program. Butterbean is one of his more notable success stories. He was in a wheelchair and couldn't stand up straight. But, now he's in great health.

The quadfather still rockin it!

To ALL of the bodybuilders of the world. You get NOTHING but R.E.S.P.E.C.T. from me and all who adore you. 😇🖤✊️
