A bodybuilding grandfather spends his time schooling younger men and lifting ‘beautiful women’ on Australia’s most well-known beach thanks to his incredible fitness.
Gojkovich Dragan, 73, was born two years after the end of the Second World War in 1947 and now spends much of his time working out at the outdoor gym at Bondi Beach in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
The gym is mainly frequented by social media influencers and Instagram bodybuilders but judging by new videos Mr Dragan is there to teach them a lesson in humility.

In one of his recent Instagram videos, Mr Dragan does a slow chin-up next to a 24-year-old man who is less than a third of his age.
Once the pair reached the top of the bar, they held their position for an extended period.
‘Yeah, 25 seconds. You can go down now,’ the man filming said, prompting the younger man to immediately drop down and say “oh, f**k” in relief.
But Mr Dragan held on and only let go after his younger counterpart, chuckling and smiling after winning the endurance contest.
