Lou Ferrigno shares physique update with some chiseled abs at almost 71 years old.

Bodybuilding legend and actor Lou Ferrigno recently showed off some impressive abs at nearly 71 years old. The veteran bodybuilder revealed his midsection in a recent post to social media.

In the modern age of the internet there is really no excuses when it comes to building your best possible physique. While not everyone has the incredible genetics of top tier bodybuilders, most have the ability to get into the gym, eat right and apply themselves to make great gains.

As we age the ability to build quality muscle decreases, but that doesn’t mean it’s completely gone. Even at an advanced age we can still have incredible physiques. But starting early and being consistent is the name of the game for longevity. In the case of veteran bodybuilder and actor Lou Ferrigno, having all those many years in the gym have carried over to his physique at an advanced age.

Having put in serious training for 58 years, Lou Ferrigno has been able to maintain an impressive physique. His time as a competitive bodybuilder saw him face off against some the most legendary competitors ever. Chief among those rivals was none other than the legend Arnold Schwarzenegger himself. The twos intense rivalry featured in the 1977 documentary Pumping Iron inspired a generation of bodybuilders. They inspired each other as well to be the best bodybuilders they could be.

Ripped at 71

Fast forward to 2022 and we can see that the fruits of Ferrigno’s hard labor are still paying dividends. Now at nearly 71 years old Lou Ferrigno is still in great shape and he has the abs to prove it. In a recent post Ferrigno revealed his midsection showing that he still has it even at his advanced age.

“I’ve been training for 58 years. Proud to still be able to maintain my physique by staying dedicated at almost 71 years old!”
