Now this is something you don’t see every day. Ernestine Shepard is 73 years old and is in the Guinness Book of World Records’ as the oldest female bodybuilder. While the majority of the world is still asleep, she’s up running and hitting the weight room. Ernestine took first place in a 2008 NPC bodybuilding competition and is preparing for another one this weekend.
Granny’s Got Guns!
ABC News has a great story on Ernestine and it’s worth reading. She says she runs 80 miles a week and bench presses 150 pounds. That’s awesome!
