JAPAN-WEIGHTLIFTING-LIFESTYLE

In this picture taken on October 9, 2017, Japanese bodybuilders line up backstage to go on stage during the Japan bodybuilding championships in Tokyo. The number of bodybuilders registered with Japan's national federation has almost doubled over the past six years to around 3,000, with women making up 10 percent as part of a nationwide fitness boom, officials said. In ageing Japan, female bodybuilding is dominated by women in their forties and fifties, as many usually only start after their children have grown up. / AFP PHOTO / Behrouz MEHRI / TO GO WITH Japan-weightlifting-lifestyle, FOCUS by Alastair HIMMER (Photo credit should read BEHROUZ MEHRI/AFP via Getty Images)
