Sarnia bodybuilder Bernie Mockler is a national champion for the fourth time.

“Still going strong,” he said.
Mockler is a three-time CPA champion and a one-time Canadian Bodybuilding Federation champion.
He won a silver medal at the National Physique Committee’s North American championships earlier this year in the men’s masters 60-plus light-heavyweight division.
