From Back Surgery to Bodybuilding at 73: Why It’s Never Too Late to Get Strong with Renee Landers
Quote from Renee & Kelly It’s never too late to start - but you want to start right away :) Kelly & Renee
Episode Title: From Back Surgery to Bodybuilding at 73: Why It’s Never Too Late to Get Strong with Renee Landers
How do you go from a walker to walking across a stage in a sparkly bikini—with confidence?
You meet someone like Renee Landers.
After back surgery in her late 50s, Renee didn’t just recover—she reinvented herself. Now, at 73, she’s competed in over a dozen bodybuilding shows, earned a pro card, and become the definition of what’s possible.
In this episode, Renee is back on the podcast to share what’s changed in the past five years—and how she’s still getting stronger with age. We’re talking real strategies for body recomposition, how to fuel with protein (and not fear it!), and the mindset shift that changes everything.
💡 HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1️⃣ Muscle Is the Mission (Not Just Weight Loss) Renee’s body changed not from eating less, but from eating smarter—and lifting consistently. DEXA scans don’t lie.
2️⃣ You Can’t Wait to Feel Ready “I wasn’t planning to compete.” But she did it anyway—and now she’s sponsored. It all started with one decision to begin.
3️⃣ No Old Speak Allowed Age is not the problem. Your mindset is. Renee's rule? Don’t talk like you're old. Don’t hang around people who do. Don’t believe the stories that say your best years are behind you.
