A grandmother who became an international powerlifting champion in her 60s says she looks and feels better than she did 30 years ago.
Mary Duffy, 71, from Trumbull, Connecticut started working out at the age of 59 after piling on weight following the death of her mother in 2007, losing more than 50lbs within one year.
She quickly became hooked on weight lifting and now spends around 20 hours a week pumping iron in six hour gym sessions, and has more than 30 state and world records to her name.
Despite being told she's 'too old' to be hitting the gym, Mary holds world records for deadlifting 250lbs - more than a baby elephant - as well as benching 125lbs and squatting 175lbs.
