Shirley Webb is 78-years old and can deadlift 225 lbs. I spend quite a large amount of time at the gym (humble brag) and I hate deadlifting. It’s good for you, but it takes forever to gather all the weights, set up the bar, put it on the floor, lift it a few times, then put everything back.
According to GQ, Shirley owns some world records:
Shirley already owns the Illinois and Missouri records for deadlifting in her age bracket (237 lbs and 215 lbs respectively), but she’s not done. According to ESPNW her next goal is to set a national record, which shouldn’t be to hard as there currently isn’t even a national record for women her age.
