84 Year Old Don Wildman: Amazing!
Posted: Sat Dec 10, 2016 7:35 pm
I was watching the Shark Tank last night. An 84 year old billionaire named Don Wildman was on the show helping out a younger guy pitch.
84 years old, high school dropout, military vet (Korea). This guy was ripped. He's done something like 9 Ironman competitions, skis, snowboards and trains like a madman. Made his money selling his gyms to Bally's which turned into Bally's Fitness. Needless to say he captured my attention. I did some more digging and found this:

He's renowned in his neck of the woods for running "The Circuit" at his home. He's joined by a group of younger guys including professional athletes and sometimes the occasional celebrity. What caught my attention was the "Circuit"....from what I can gather it's circuit training with weights and exercises that can run up to two hours. 30 reps per ex is what's mentioned in some of the articles. He runs it 3 times a week.
Sound familiar?? Most of his lifestyle seems to be "E" based too.
Here's a vid of him doing pull-ups at 76 years old. I swear to God he looked like he was in even better shape at 84 on the Tank last night. I urge you guys to read up on him, especially if age sits at the back of your mind as an issue:

I can't find the Shark Tank vid, but if anyone else can, then please post it!
