The athlete most recently competed in the IFBB Professional League event, and was placed in the 3rd position in men’s bodybuilding in the 70+ category and 1st in the 80+ category.

Growing up Arrington suffered from asthma and often fell sick. When he was 13 years old, he saw a bodybuilding magazine and instantly fell in love with the idea of having a muscular body.

Subsequently, he ordered a 25-cent pamphlet, which had a basic training advice for bodybuilders, that he used for his own transformation. Within three months of his training he went from 115 lbs to 125 lbs. Years went on, however, his love and passion for bodybuilding didn’t fade, if anything, it grew more and more as he is still very much into the sport, and still participating in tournaments.

Jim follows a strict workout regimen three times a week and his sessions last about two hours each and are split into specific body sections.

Mondays focus on legs, Wednesdays on mid-body exercises (including abs, chest, and back), and Fridays are dedicated to his shoulders and arms. Arrington from Los Angeles, has now been weightlifting for over 60 years. after at 15, he began bodybuilding to impress girls. He is a retired sale professional.
