A 70-year-old grandad has caused shockwaves on the internet after revealing his incredible body transformation.
Wojciech Węcławowicz, 70, from Poland, has showed that there is no age limit when it comes to looking and feeling your best.
The 70-year-old retired from his job as a PE teacher 10 years ago and quickly fell into an inactive routine.
He became frustrated and found himself losing his energy levels and healthy physique.
Unsure of where to start, he enlisted the help of his son, Tomasz, who started training with him at the gym.
Now, after years of workout regimes and meal plans, Wojciech says he's the fittest he's ever been.
The fitness fanatic, who has 375,000 followers on Instagram, recently shared a clip of his transformation, which racked up over 6.6 million views.
His Instagram bio reads: 'Ripped at 70. Breaking stereotypes with every rep. Join the movement, because shredded knows no age.'
In the clip, he shared a picture of himself age 61, sitting down with his top off and stomach on show.
Then, Wojciech appeared to be flexing his muscles and abs while smiling towards the camera.
He has reportedly embraced over twenty different sports, from ice skating and skiing to running and shot-put.
Now, he's on a mission to encourage other individuals to get into their best shape, regardless of their age.
The fitness fanatic, who recently celebrated his 42nd wedding anniversary, also trains with his wife - Iwona Węcławowicz.
Iwona, 64, has similarly got onto a fitness hype – and uses Instagram to share her journey.
Iwona has overcome several health issues to become the fitness guru that she is today, including a liver tumour, knee and back issues.
The 64-year-old also trains with her son, Tomasz Węcławowicz and claimed that consistency is the key to fitness.
It comes after a man who is 'obsessed with becoming a dad' shed almost half his bodyweight by eating a 'carnivore' diet consisting of just meat and eggs in a bid to improve his fertility.
Isaiah Caldwell, 28, from St Louis, Missouri, tipped the scales at 434 pounds at his heaviest - but has now lost a staggering 210 pounds.
He started to make changes to his lifestyle after being told his weight might be causing fertility issues - and now weighs 224 pounds and feels 'a million times better'.
Tech salesman Isaiah, lost the weight by working out and following the strict carnivore diet, which sees followers ditch anything that has not come from an animal - leaving them with meat, eggs and dairy.
Isaiah, who is 6ft4 in height, is now happier and healthier than ever and he and his wife Amanda, 29, are still trying for a baby.
Isaiah said: 'Having a baby became an obsession of ours - we were really excited about it.
'We started trying for a year before we began to suspect that there might be some issues fertility wise.
'I knew if there was anything I could do to give us a chance, I would do it.'
Isaiah vowed to start shedding the pounds and immediately went on a diet, ditching all food groups except for meat, eggs and dairy.
Isaiah said: 'People think there's some magic to it.
'But the reality is you're just eliminating overeating as it's really hard to binge eat meat - it's very restrictive and probably not for everyone.'
Isiah lost 21 lbs after just a month by eating steak and smoked brisket - and said he was 'blown away'.
He decided to stay on the carnivore diet for another month, losing another 18lbs, and continued on it until he was down to 368lbs.
He said: 'I felt unbelievable even a week in - psychologically I felt so much better, my brain fog was totally gone. I felt a million times better.
'But I knew I wasn't going to be able to keep it up forever just eating meat.'
After ten months he had lost a mammoth 118lbs, after expanding his diet to include some fruit and dairy.
Once the weight loss began to slow up, Isaiah decided to do a deep dive on the training regimes used by bodybuilders and began meticulously tracking his calorie intake.
He lost another 35lbs- taking his total weight loss to 140lbs in total.
Isaiah then continued his calorie deficit to keep losing weight and is now around the 210lbs mark.
And he said: 'If anyone is thinking maybe they can't do it, they should know that I felt exactly like that too.
'It felt impossible and hopeless, but everyone is capable of it.'
