95 year old powerlifter

Rip,

I know you are not a big fan of outside links, but I think this deserves an exception.

Apparently there is a 95 year old out of Scandanavia that can pull 290 lbs after a heart attack three years ago.

It is not the best written article, but it goes a long way to show what this kind of training can do for people when it matters most.

I don't imagine this gentleman is going to break a hip falling out of his wheelchair anytime soon.

Or taking any crap from anyone else for that matter.

Cheers,

Tom
