Mike O’Hearn is one of the bodybuilders voted among the 12 greatest physiques of all time in the fitness world. At 54, O’Hearn continues to maintain a jaw-dropping physique. Though the bodybuilder is doing a great job staying in shape, the cons of his growing age have caught up to him. Though his physique is as impressive as ever, he can no longer keep up with the same training routine that he had back in the day.

Although Mike O’Hearn is still active in the industry and travels quite a lot for different ventures, his body eventually gets tired. In a recent YouTube video, O’Hearn opened up about this aspect of his life.

Earlier this year, the Titan sat down for a chat with YouTuber Olav Johnsurd. Johnsurd had shared clips from their conversation on Instagram. At a point in the video, Mike O’Hearn was taken aback by a question from Johnsurd. The YouTuber had asked what O’Hearn wanted to be remembered for.

After giving it much thought, O’Hearn replied he wants to be known for his “dedication and longevity. The long game.” After staying relevant in the industry for 4 decades, the 4x Mr. Universe has successfully left that impression on the bodybuilding community. Additionally, O’Hearn believes in spending a quality life rather than a long life. That is another thing he wants to be remembered for. “Not 100 years old but the quality that you’re here. That’s what it should be about,” O’Hearn concluded.
