A 51-year old's first Figure competition

[Shelby]

Here are some before and after shots of my client Carlene, who just competed in her first Figure show this weekend and placed 2nd in the over 40 division.
Carlene is 51 years old, and the before shots are from when we started her prep 16 weeks ago. In the contest pic link, she's the first gal on the top row (the first 3 pics are her).

It doesn't even look like the same person, she did a remarkable job. Who said 50 is old?

F A N T A S T I C ! ! !

She looks so much younger in the after pics... as Pesty said, it's even hard to believe it's the same person. Not only is her body light years better looking than before, but even her face and hair have dramatically improved... what a beautiful woman she is now! WOW!!!

Thanks guys, I'll pass on the props

I also prepped her training partner for the same show, and she took 2nd in the Open Tall Class. Here's her before pic (16 weeks out) and in the link are her stage pics (she's the gal in the top row, the first 5 pics):

Holy cow! What a great job you guys did!!!!! Just fantastic to say the least. Even better she is 51! Just proves, its never too late. I love these over 50 success stories.

Did she just get into training and then got the bug to compete?

 

[MAINEVENT]

Fantastic job. What a change in both of them.

 

[Alex A]

Older is better??? i think so..

 

[MrCyp]

Wow those are incredible changes. I would never think that could be possible for a woman at 51. Thats insane.
