This seasoned gray-hair of a young 85 years pressed 55lbs. for a WR. That's pretty damn impressive.
World record set for bench pressing by an 85-year old woman (http://www.examiner.com/x-1869-New-England-Fitness-Examiner~y2009m8d18-World-record-set-bench-pressing-by-an-85year-old-woman)

did she really need 2 spotters for that????

Way to go though!!! It's good to see the older generation trying to stay active and fit instead of rotting in a rocking chair.

I love the video, just goes to show anyone at any age can do it:boxing:
Now only if my patient would do it, then maybe they won't spend so much time and energy in bed. J/K I love each and every patient of mine.
