ONE bodybuilder has long been motivated by a friendly competition with his extremely buff grandfather.
Tom Seed regularly has “pose downs” with his 64-year-old grandfather David where the two men compare their physiques.

The younger man may be a prominent TikTok fitness influencer with more than 75,000 followers, but commenters have said the grandfather still has the edge.
“Dave’s bicep peaks are insane!” Seed wrote over one pose down video.
“Dave is competing tomorrow in the over 60 Mr. UK bodybuilding title,” the TikToker said in the description.
“Who won??” he asked.
“YOU ARE MAKING PROGRESS BUT GRANDPA IS STILL… THE LAW….” one commenter said.
“There’s a reason granddad starts with ‘grand'” said another.
“Is it even a question,” another commenter said.
“Never give up young one it’s obviously in your genes.”
That video was uploaded back in October, but commenters said the grandpa was still ahead beneath a more recent pose down clip from March.
“Grandpa on some gear,” one viewer said, referencing a slang term for anabolic steroids.
“Bro pulls all the grandmas in church,” said another.
“Grandpa almost has an 8 pack almost,” another commenter said.
“I know, how ridiculous!” Seed replied.
But David is not the only gym rat grandparent who’s garnered attention on social media for their youthful physique.
Andrea Sunshine is a 51-year-old grandma from London, but the blonde body builder still gets plenty of attention from younger men.
She said a physique like hers is attainable for most women her age.
“If women aren’t happy with something, they can only blame themselves for that,” Sunshine said.
“Women who complain about looking old only have themselves to blame and need to be more committed to working out.
“It’s all about attitude and choices. Workouts improve life quality, physically and mentally.”
That’s why she works out at least six times a week and said her sessions never last less than three hours.
