Former Mr. Universe Mike O’Hearn continues to defy age with his chiseled physique, leaving many in awe of his dedication to fitness. Despite his jam-packed schedule, O’Hearn refuses to compromise on his workout routine, which he has followed since his teenage years.

In a recent revelation on his YouTube channel, the Titan shared insights into his workout routine. He offered a glimpse into how he manages to stay in prime shape amidst hectic movie shoots. Reflecting on a typical day, O’Hearn remarked, “Fighting like four or five guys in a scene, so woke up this morning stiff, came in and decided to do back.”

Flexibility seems to be key for the bodybuilding icon, as he adapts his workouts to address specific needs. “Arms was scheduled, I said skip arms, we’re doing back because of the fact that I wanted to loosen up this lower back,” he explained. His approach underscores the importance of listening to one’s body and prioritizing areas that require attention.
