Meet Iris Davis, the 75 y.o. BODYBUILDING GURU setting world records
Iris Davis, a personal trainer based in the US, was giving a workout lesson to her students at the Beach Bodies Health & Fitness center in Indialantic near Melbourne, Florida, on Friday.
At 75 years of age, Iris maintains a perfectly toned bodybuilding frame, and on her 74th birthday became a world record-holder for performing 21 pull-ups in a row. At 5 feet tall (1.52 metres) and 100 pounds (45 kg) of mostly muscle weight, Iris works as a personal fitness trainer and is an international bodybuilding champion with 11 titles and over 45 years of experience.
Now based in Georgia, the Irish-born fitness guru started her lifestyle in her early 20s, when she was battling depression after losing both her first child and her husband, before deciding to begin a new life in the United States of America.
Iris considers herself a trailblazer in the women's bodybuilding scene, as during the 60s most gyms in the US were still barring women from being members.
