Seniors Bodybuilding

Post by milly »

Hi, Intrigued with senior bodybuilders (hate that word "senior") but as an example Ernestine Shepherd. As we get older, the metabolism slows, muscles decline, things go south, etc, etc.
How do you think she manages to stay looking so awesome. Is it diet, strict exercise regime? I am a senior, yech!, and would love to hear suggestions, thoughts etc. I lift weights and have for some years, but she looks fantastic.

It's both. There's no real secret to it. If the diet and training are correct you get the results.

i think ernestine has great genetics too. She doesn't have a loss of elasticity so common in older age.
