AFL legend Ben Cousins proved he’s still got it on Sunday as he showed off his ripped figure during a grueling workout.
Ben, 46, shared a video on Instagram of himself lifting weights in a small gym.
The former footballer showed off his bulging biceps in a black tank top and shorts, teamed with black sneakers and socks.
First he performed an incline bench press with dumbbells, before moving on to targeting his shoulders and lats.
He also lay down on the floor and did some old-fashioned medicine ball exercises.
“Yes, good morning,” he said as he entered the gym and set down his bag before hitting the weights.

At the end of his workout, Ben said, “Sometimes you just have to drag yourself out here… It makes me feel better.”
In the caption for his clip, Ben also wrote, “Days you don’t want to do are the days you have to do it! Go after it.’
Ben turned his turbulent life all around after a heartbreaking battle with drug addiction and recently revealed he is the ‘happiest he has ever been’.
His turnaround also included working hard on rebuilding his relationship with his children: Angelique, 11, and Bobby, 13.
Last week he did took to social media to share the news that his daughter was graduating from primary school, followed by a photo of the lavish Christmas wish list she gave him.
“My girl on her last day of school going too fast,” he posted alongside a photo of the couple cuddling.
‘And long after that photo, this Christmas frame of hers landed. Help,” he wrote.
In addition to designer clothes, money and jewelry, the toddler’s list also included a MacBook, a new cell phone and a stocked mini fridge.

Ben played 238 games and scored 205 goals for West Coast between 1996 and 2007, winning the premiership in his penultimate season in Perth.
The former midfielder captained the Eagles from 2001 to 2005, winning the club’s best and fairest award in four of those five seasons.
He was suspended by the club in March 2007 – just six months after the grand final win over Sydney – for alleged substance abuse and sacked six months later after being arrested for drug possession and refusing to submit to a blood test.
He returned to the AFL with Richmond in 2009, before retiring at the end of the 2010 season.
He was imprisoned six times in thirteen years and spent seven months behind bars in 2020 when he apparently decided enough was enough.
He is now on the right track and reads the news for Seven in Western Australia, and recently appeared on Dancing With The Stars.
Ben has said his only regret is how long it took to get clean.
