MOVE over Majak Daw, Ray Moon has a rippling rig the envy of men half his age. The pumped up 83-year-old is not letting age slow him down and when it comes to his life's passion, body building, he's still going strong.
After two years in semi-retirement, Mr Moon has won a battle with bladder cancer and was back dominating the stage at the NABBA International Championships in Thornbury on the weekend.
The octogenarian Arnie hit the stage in the men's masters over-35 section competing with blokes half his age.After his illness two years ago Mr Moon started back at the gym gingerly, lifting just 1kg of weights in each hand. He says he is now back up to 45kg on his lateral pulls.
Mr Moon reckons he gives North Melbourne footballer Daw a run for his money.
"He's incredible. There's only one catch: he attracts more girls," he said with a laugh.
