NBFA Open – Larvik
As the only athlete in the 60+ class I got my second Norwegian Championship.
Official photos will come but here are a few pictures taken by the newspaper Østlandsposten and posted at their website the same evening. Athletes from different classes were on stage at the same time. The “blue” guy is 40+:

The fact that the ” blue guy ” qualifies for the 40+ plus class, only goes to prove how it is possible for a person to hold that form well into your senior years. providing they continue to put in the required effort. Surely, an inspiration to the younger folk that there is life in BB after 30. Well done!

You rock Gunnar: Being 60+ and in that shape for sure requires a lot of efforts and abnegations. I know you are serious with your diet too.
Congrats with your Norwegian Championship! I admire you for the spirit as I’ve heard your going for the World Championship next year!

)))great body.I hope to be like you one day,only 20 years left.I have been thinking a lot about the age and you are the proof .How many people can be ln this shape of the body and the mind?

Thank you Ivelin Two years ago (at 62) I became certified Personal Trainer and love to train other seniors. It is not about age, it’s about breaking myths. I am now training 5 days per week, focusing on my weakest muscles. My goal is to compete in IFBB World Championships Masters +65 in nove/des 2012. My wife is 63 and is working as training instructor for seniorgroups. She want to see me on stage when I am 70 !
Hope to meet you sometime regards Gunnar

PT education 2 years part time at Norwegian School of Sports Science. Training senioors for strength and hypertrophy has to be more aware of weaknesses and injuries after a long life behind a desk. Then comes problems with falling testosterone and so on.

I prefer free weights for more functional training and adaption to daily tasks for most people. Machines are good for isolation but none of my clients is going to compete on definitions
I advice my senior clients to let their doctors measure blood testosterone level. If too low they will get medical help to reach normal levels. For seniors it is important not to fall below a minimum level to retain vitality and a good life.

I do not know many ways to reach it)).
What about the suplements?
The food?
Or it is the same like all of use just more caryfull?
Thank you for the answers in advance

Medical help equals testosterone. And food has to be anabolic with 40 / 40 / 20 energ% from proteine, carb and fat And enough sleep. And enough rest between retraining a muscle group.
