I’m a bodybuilding grandma – people say I’m too old and can’t build muscle, but they can’t stop granny
A FIT woman has shattered societal expectations by showing that grandmothers can also be in exceptional physical shape.
She said people say she’s too old and can’t build muscle because of it, but she continuously proves them wrong with her physique.
Bodybuilder Marlene Flowers (@65_strong) goes by Granny Guns online and showcases her lifestyle as a sculpted senior citizen well into her 60s.
In a TikTok video, she shared some of the negative remarks she’s received from critics about her fitness regimen.
When the video began, she walked into the frame holding a baking pan with a serious expression on her face.
She wore a pink sweater, black turtleneck, and black leggings that covered her from head to toe.
Several subtitles appeared that read negative phrases such as “You’re too old,” “Just retire,” and “You can’t build muscle.”
Marlene, also known as Granny, looked at the camera straight on before the visual changed to show her at the gym.
She filmed herself from the side as she worked out at several machines that caused her arm muscles to flex and reveal her veins.
Granny definitely can build muscle, and it’s apparent that she put in the hard work with both her physical fitness and nutrition.
The content creator boldly wrote in the video caption that you “can’t stop granny.”
Many people praised her in the comments for her body confidence and positive attitude.
“Do what you can do and do your best,” a viewer commented.
Another chimed in: “I think grandma can lift Mars,” to which Granny replied: “And Jupiter.”
“It’s the insults that power you,” a fan added, while another wrote: “Love your content. Keep it up.”
