Could the competitive stage be in her future?
The last transformation story featured Joe Becker. Joe has a favorite quote that was written by the man himself, Louie Simmons. "Some men grow older, others grow stronger." This is a brilliant quote and I'm going to go ahead and change "men" to "people." In this month's feature, Veronica Ariens, aka Big Ron the Ripper, will be featured and she is the definition of this quote.
At 61 years young, she outtrains and outperforms most people in their twenties. She is truly an inspiration. Over the course of the last year, she has dropped around 9% bodyfat and is now in the low 20 percent range, which is considered excellent for females at any age let alone over 50. She has also shed inches off of her waist and abdomen. She can knock out pushups and pullups with the best of em, squat and deadlift well over her bodyweight and has developed the conditioning of an animal.
Even more impressive, she follows some amazingly consistent eating habits and it shows in both her physique and performance. She has even been asked on more than one occasion if she is a cop. There are some clients that, with a little guidance and direction, will go above and beyond what you would normally expect and take things into their own hands in order to push limits and achieve their goals. Ronnie is one of those clients. Even when she is not working directly with me, she gets in for extra workouts multiple days a week with her partner Gwen (who I'm sure will be featured soon as well).
Any females (and males for that matter) that think pain, injuries and osteoporosis are all that await you as you grow older and that you can't train hard and be an athlete after college have proof right here. Get better everyday; there are no excuses. In addition to the body comp changes in the pics below, take note of the great postural improvements all the way up and down the body, both in rotation and flexion/extension. Big congratulations to Ronnie, keep up all of the amazing work!!
