Elizabeth Rohde
News — By Patricia on April 28, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Elizabeth Rohde started bodybuilding at age 53 and now competes in Figure shows.
The hairdresser by trade has been on a pursuit of physiological perfection ever since a local bodybuilder introduced her to the sport two years ago.
“I want to be like a sculpture,” she said. “I think you can accomplish that … I cannot give it up. I’m addicted. I love it. I just love the sport.”
It comes with sacrifice. In addition to keeping a meticulous diet, Rohde had to gradually stop most food and water intake in the days leading up to the competition. She drank just eight ounces of water the day of the event to achieve a look that is dazzling to the eye.

I can’t get behind that dehydration routine. It’s the one aspect of body building that doesn’t seem healthy at all, and it’s all in the name of looking good. I know you have to do it to compete, but it makes me oogie.
Yes, try doing it ugh. Feel all dizzzy etc. It does work though, assuming you are lean enough.
Uncommon post. Thanks for sharing. The muscle women are really hard specially ARNOLD 2009. I am surprised seeing photos.
