Pickens said he thinks Obama's workout routine is "pitiful."

This summer, leaked footage showed Obama using 10 lb. weights in a hotel gym in Poland. At the time, Pickens, who is 86-years-old, tried to challenge the President on Twitter to a 1-hour workout where they could also hammer out an energy plan. Obama never accepted Pickens' challenge.

"I tried to get the President involved in that deal after I saw on TV he had 10-pound weights and he was working out. I mean it's pitiful," he told Business Insider.

Pickens went on to say he can lift far more weight than the president.

"And hell, I can curl 30s and he's got tens."

Pickens has been working out every morning at 6:30 with his personal trainer for the last twenty-six years.

He Tweeted earlier this month that his trainer's job description is "Keep Boone alive."
