Initially, he started strength training to improve his physique, which later led him to enter the world of bodybuilding. For the subsequent 70 years, he has devoted his life to sculpting his body.<\/p>\n<p>Even now, at age 90, Kanazawa maintains an intense training regimen. Every day, he trains different muscle groups for two hours, and when exercising, he focuses his entire attention on thoroughly fatiguing the targeted muscles through specific stimulation.<\/p>\n<p>He also maintains a strict diet. Kanazawa has followed a traditional Japanese diet centered around rice, miso soup, and natto (fermented soybeans) since he was 50. In recent years, he has also included blueberries in his meals. He particularly highlighted \u201cdiet\u201d as the secret to his health, stating to the media, \u201cThe food we eat becomes our blood and muscle. Since having a fundamentally healthy body is important, meals play a crucial role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kanazawa\u2019s original goal was to remain an active bodybuilder until the age of 90. Now that he has reached that milestone, he plans to set his sights even higher. Kanazawa shared his ambition by saying, \u201cI want to compete until I\u2019m 93 and set a world record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"mainnews_add\">\n<h3>Hot Picks Today<\/h3>\n<p>      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiae.co.kr\/en\/article\/2026092315194165336\" title=\"[Exclusive] Why Are Turnovers So High? &quot;A 10 Million Won Base Salary Gap at the Same Workplace&quot; [National Pension Staff Shortage]\u2461\" class=\"thumb\" onclick=\"gtag( 'event', 'click', { 'event_category' : 'V_\uc8fc\uc694\ub274\uc2a4', 'event_label' : '1\uc2ac\ub86f' });\"><br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cwcontent.asiae.co.kr\/asiaresize\/93\/2026092810465542200_1790560014.jpg\" alt=\"[Exclusive] Why Are Turnovers So High? &quot;A 10 Million Won Base Salary Gap at the Same Workplace&quot; [National Pension Staff Shortage]\u2461\"\/><br \/>\n        <span class=\"t_txt\">[Exclusive] Why Are Turnovers So High? &#8220;A 10 Million Won Base Salary Gap at the Same Workplace&#8221; [National Pension Staff Shortage]\u2461<\/span><br \/>\n      <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, the current Guinness World Record for the oldest male bodybuilder is held by American Jim Arrington, who participated in a professional bodybuilding competition in 2022 at the age of 90 years and 38 days.
