my diet !! 80% of recommened nutrional food...the rest of time naught food like choklits and fruit yogurts and bad fried eggs and bacon ..if i spike my blood sugar to7.5 ..gives me great pleasure burn it out in the gym or pool ...i feel good and watch all body funtions!! dailly ..zzzz sleep 6 hrs well .. avoid stresssss !!! . feel about 57,8 yrs old in human age!!! not anywhere near 75 ...iwake up with a""wee"" on board not with a wet sheet !! im gonna leave the physical world in v good condition and my B|P up to 140 kg again ..... go well to all out there ....fit and strong compatriots !!!
bless this man..... i always say this about getting older--its going to be tough, but how do u want it? i would rather feel the awesome weights above or beneath my frame, as i struggle to complete my difficult workouts, and feeling great afterwards, knowing i gave it my all and im achieving my goals, even at age 57, or 67,77,87 or 100...... id rather go that way instead of constantly relying on doctors, medications, and having to use a walker, and the motorized carts when i shop--how humiliating....... but when u have no discipline and no heart, i suppose thats the way to go.... not for me though.........
Inspiration is rare, this inspires me. Off our couches get to the gym. No one dies old and frail unless they get sick or have chosen to neglect their body. Stop drinking the koolaid.
@ HXCpr0n Yes, it is impressive to a man who is almost 81 who is still in this type of shape. Mr. Cantu actually can lift more than shown on this day in this video. He was coming off a sore shoulder and was going light. I hope to still be strong at the age of 80 !
Pretty impressive. I'm only in my mid-sixties and I can't touch 250, lol. Lucky if I can push 200. AND, that will only continue to decline along with my T levels. This guy is a genetic freak! Keep on trucking!
Testosterone shouldn't decline as much as it does (new research on this). Its rising cortisol levels as we age (not all but many). Cortisol reduces test production and competes intracellularly. Read up on Ashwagandha and it cortisol modulating/test increasing effects. KSM66 is a good certified Ashwagandha.
He still workouts out every week from people I talk to. I need to catch up with him. It's been a few years. But this guy will never stop working out. He will lift up until his last day on earth.
Im 37 and he certainly inspires me to keep going especially on those days when I feel those aches and pains from getting older. Give him our best when you see him again.
I hear you man. It inspires me too. I will be 47 years old this month and I sure hope to still be that strong when I am in my eighties. Age is just a number in your mind. How you live your life is up to you. As for me, I will keep giving it my best until it's time to go. Have a good day man.
He has since passed on as we all will eventually do. He stayed active up to the very end. Definitely had a good quality of life for as long as possible and better than most his age at the later years of his life.
I seen another video guy 80 who said 255 was world record bench who only went half way down you looked much better full bench & prob would gotton much more without all warm up reps.
darren hill those are two 45 lbs. plates on each side with two 5 lbs plates and a 2 1/2 lbs plate on each side. The bar is 45 lbs. it’s 250 lbs legit. This gentleman actually did more than this in competition. Kilo plates can actually appear thinner than these. I’ve competed myself using both types of plates.
bible bill yes, at the time of the video he was 81 years old. He would be 89 today. He trained at the gym I trained out of. His records are recorded and they verify your age by ID at powerlifting meets.
Oh hi! Have you thought about the Explosive Muscle Method (do a google search)? My friend says it gets people ripped fast... Oh hi! Have you thought about the Explosive Muscle Method (do a google search)? My friend says it gets people ripped fast...

Insane arms for an 80-years old!
Age is a question of number.
If you want to do it you can do it.
Volere è potere💪💪🏆🏆
Good reps good job !

Old school never went away. And with growing knowledge of metabolic processes, it's just gotten better.
Get up, get informed, and Move!
Very IMPRESSIVE
Awesome!
Maravilhoso!!parabens Mr Joe

Can be nice to see a new video of this guy.
Boy I better get started lol before get to the late ages, I guess you can get in shape at any age way to go such an inspiration.
awesome to see. I will always workout as long as Im alive also. Use it or lose it.
Real life super hero!
Incredible!
That's my uncle the beast that man and his poetry writes is awesome
Ramiro Cantu I know your uncle from the Gym. He is a good man.
Yes sir he is my dad is the same way but not the weight lifter but on good shape like joe
That's George Johnson spotting Joe with a lift off on his sets. Must be near 80 years old, too and doubt if he has added 5 lbs since 1960.
George Johnson is 81 years old now and still trains religiously at Lynn's Gym 5 days a week.
Impressive
Great stuff. I am 74. And need to hit my legs.
What's his squat like?
Pretty impressive. I'm only in my mid-sixties and I can't touch 250, lol. Lucky if I can push 200. AND, that will only continue to decline along with my T levels. This guy is a genetic freak! Keep on trucking!
Research foods that boost you testosterone level and then eat those foods daily. Garlic is one for sure.
Testosterone shouldn't decline as much as it does (new research on this). Its rising cortisol levels as we age (not all but many). Cortisol reduces test production and competes intracellularly. Read up on Ashwagandha and it cortisol modulating/test increasing effects. KSM66 is a good certified Ashwagandha.
I am in my mid sixty’s and put up 340#. No need to make excuses, just get busy.
Wow
How is he doing today?
He still workouts out every week from people I talk to. I need to catch up with him. It's been a few years. But this guy will never stop working out. He will lift up until his last day on earth.
Im 37 and he certainly inspires me to keep going especially on those days when I feel those aches and pains from getting older. Give him our best when you see him again.

cant believe he is 80+
+savory icon He is almost 85 years old now and he is still at it.
@@JAMESARONHUNTER still?
GG Mr. Cantu passed away a few years ago and he trained in the gym up to the very end. An inspiration no doubt.
Anyone know if he is still alive
He has since passed on as we all will eventually do. He stayed active up to the very end. Definitely had a good quality of life for as long as possible and better than most his age at the later years of his life.
I seen another video guy 80 who said 255 was world record bench who only went half way down you looked much better full bench & prob would gotton much more without all warm up reps.
Agree, he wasted far to much energy on the meaningless warm up sets.
how much did he weigh at time of press . that has a lot to do with the age 80 lift. i did 275.03 lbs at age 80 and 165 body weight
Gerald CampbelRege Park
Joe cando...
Right, that's my excuse destroyed!
barely any wrinkles on his skin 0.o
Dude looks mid 60s.......
Are those 50 kilo plates otherwise it doesn't look like he's lifting 250lbs
darren hill those are two 45 lbs. plates on each side with two 5 lbs plates and a 2 1/2 lbs plate on each side. The bar is 45 lbs. it’s 250 lbs legit. This gentleman actually did more than this in competition. Kilo plates can actually appear thinner than these. I’ve competed myself using both types of plates.
THOSE MEN ARE STRONG BECAUSE THEY ARE DEDICATED POWER ATHLETES. CHECK MY TWO POWER VIDEOS ON RUclips.
Oh hi! Have you thought about the Explosive Muscle Method (do a google search)? My friend says it gets people ripped fast...
Is he really 81 yrs old ? Look at Paul Bragg Who lied about how old he was said he was like 99 when he was like 81 .
bible bill yes, at the time of the video he was 81 years old. He would be 89 today. He trained at the gym I trained out of. His records are recorded and they verify your age by ID at powerlifting meets.
Good enough , thank you .
I'm jealous lol
Is he on TRT at all?
Of course he is.
