Lee Johnson placed fourth in Saturdayβs NPC Terminator over-50 bodybuilding competition at the Fox Tucson Theatre.
And while fourth meant last in the four-person contest, Johnson, 72, is not discouraged.
After all, he hasnβt competed in 11 years. And he has five titanium joints.
βIt was worth it because I re-established myself with some friends, and people came up that I didnβt know and said I looked awesome even if I didnβt win,β said Johnson, who was profiled in Sundayβs Star.
Johnson estimates that his competitors were all closer to the 50-year-old benchmark and heavier than he. Heβs calling this contest a βtune-upβ and already has his eye on future competitions.
Lee Johnson just might be back.
