A heartbroken middle-aged Japanese man decided to rebuild his life by turning into bodybuilding after his wife left him several years ago.
ある日突然独り身になった、
ハゲ散らかした中年オヤジが、
ボディメイクのコンテスト出場を目指してトレーニングを始め、
コンテスト出場を通じて女性と出逢い
今は幸せに暮らしていると言う物語は実話である。

The man, who goes by Shirapyong on Twitter (@lonestarsde66), lamented that his wife left him for being “a bald, dumpy, middle-aged guy.”
Shirapyong actually did some regular exercise back in college but had “fallen out of his fitness habits” after graduating, reports SoraNew24.
As a means of emotional recovery, Shirapyong decided to hit the gym again and make a strict fitness commitment. To keep himself set on his fitness goals, he first signed up for a bodybuilding contest and then worked out consistently in the gym. The results, as shown in these images from his Instagram account, speak for themselves:
These days, he regularly competes in bodybuilding tournaments, consistently placing in the top 10 as reported by source. His best finish so far is winning fourth-place in the recent Tokyo Open Bodybuilding tournament’s over-40-years-old division.

According to Shirapyong, he is sharing his story not to show off his body, but to inspire others to achieve similar results by working hard for it.
