They say it’s never too late to get into fitness. Well, 66-year-old bodybuilder and fitness influencer Granny Guns is a living example of that approach. Despite being over 60, Marlene Flowers aka Granny Guns, is breaking stereotypes. However, there are doubters around every corner. So Flowers uploaded a reel to silence those who doubt her and everyone trying to make positive change.

Granny Guns uploaded an Instagram reel that starts with the quote, “Too old.” However, the 66-year-old bodybuilder didn’t agree with the outlook and showed off her gains to the camera. The bodybuilding granny hit two back poses, a variation of the back-double biceps and the archer pose. Both poses showed her chiseled upper back and rippling triceps, biceps, and deltoids.

Marlene Flowers also had some empowering words for those doubting themselves. “Thinking you’re too old?… Brother ugghh!” wrote Granny Guns in her caption. “Never let age stop you,” said the 66-year-old bodybuilder. “Old or young. You can chase those goals. Where you START isn’t as important ss where you FINISH,” added the fitness influencer.
