With the background of oiled bodies, bulging muscles, and wide mouthed smiles, there is Mr. O, at the ripe age of 66, who works as hard, as long, and as disciplined as any other bodybuilder at Muscle Beach in Venice, California. He commutes two hours from a bad part of town to begin his daily workout routine. In this “big dog eat dog” world, he lifts and flexes to disprove the expectations of the crack and dope world he is from. And with every lunge and squat, Mr. O moves closer to his mission of becoming Mr. Universe.
