That's not what this thread is about. Yes, she's over 50 now but is long retired. This thread is about women over 50 who are still bodybuilding.
Christa was still bodybuilding in her 50s and even 60s.
I was going to nominate Kris Clark, who was 53 or 54 or so when she died. She was 52 when I last saw her, and in huge hard shape.
When I saw this thread, the first woman I thought of was
Patty Corbett, 5'0" with massive shoulders, back, biceps and calves, she has competed for a very long time, eventually making IFBB pro. I've met her and hung out with her, and she is a total sweetheart.
Another woman, who I'm very surprised hasn't been mentioned is Michele Ivers, I mean, Michele Brent. I first saw her in WPW Magazine in pose similar to this
With a caption telling her weight at "only" 135 pounds, "but those arms belong on a much larger competitor!" I was blown away because I weighed 135 pounds at that time. Many years later, I was at the Olympia meet-n-greet and saw her among the crowd. I instantly recognized her and approached her asking if she's Michele Ivers. She answered, "I'm Michele BRENT...How did you know me as Michele Ivers?!" I told her WPW Magazine. After that she always would talk to me at events, even local competitions (where pros would compete) even remembering some of my posts on social media as conversation starters. Yes, she's one of the good ones.
Another mention is Tammy Patnode. I remember her from my WPW history as well, and introduced to me by Michele Brent. A very impressive competitor who has also been training for many years.

I can't leave without mentioning Danita Ross. This pic was taken almost a decade after her final competition showing she still trains and still has the peaks!
Annamarie Barnard.
I don't know her age but she has caught my eye pretty hard.
