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.
