A video about an amazing 70-year-old grandfather from Russia, who in his years has a steel press and deftly climbs steep cliffs without special equipment, this year went viral all over the world. Although, in fact, this grandfather, Andrei Didukh, has been climbing almost all his life and does not particularly pursue fame.

Andrei Didukh - or, as the locals call him, grandfather Andronych - belongs to a completely unique movement of the columnists, which has been setting the tone for the entire Krasnoyarsk Territory for several decades. Thanks to this movement, sports are much more popular here than in other regions, and hiking in the mountains or just to nature for local residents is not considered something extraordinary, even for residents of large cities.

Grandfather Andronych looks quite impressive - usually he wears some kind of "show-off" hat, like a skullcap, a bright panama or even a cap, several layers of warm clothes "to keep the muscles warm", and often the clothes are pretty torn, as grandfather Andronych says - "the stones were rubbed ". But under the clothes of the grandfather is a trained body, an almost complete absence of fat - experienced athletes can envy his press!

As for the age of Andrey Didukh, there are no exact data - someone writes that he is 70 years old, others - that he is no more than 65. But one way or another, being in such a gorgeous physical shape and so physically active is at least commendable even at 50 years old., what can we say about the retirement age.

Ded Andronych conquers the Krasnoyarsk pillars without insurance and special equipment. Moreover, he often does it barefoot. Claims better grip this way. At the same time, the paths of the columnists often pass along sheer cliffs and incredibly narrow paths over the abyss - one wrong move and injuries are guaranteed, if you stay alive at all.

Talking about the secrets of his physical form, grandfather Andronych, of course, first of all speaks about the importance of regular exercise: no load - there will be no muscles either. In addition, the grandfather monitors his diet. He completely abandoned sweet and starchy foods. “Each gingerbread is then deposited on the priest, and it becomes harder to jump on the Pillars. My food is water and protein.” In addition to food rich in protein, grandfather Andronych also loves sauerkraut and buckwheat.

Another secret of good health at his age, grandfather Andronych calls a complete cessation of smoking and alcohol consumption. The pleasure from them is doubtful, but the harm is obvious. And the most important thing is to keep your thoughts clear. Grandpa never swears and always looks for good in people. Despite the fact that in his life he had to work in an orphanage with rather problematic children, he is still sure that all people are capable of good deeds, no matter how hard their life beats.
