Watch 73-Year-Old Powerlifter Mary Duffy Crush a 250-Pound Trap Bar Deadlift With 50-Pound Chains

Mary Duffy has tried her hand at competitive powerlifting for over seven years. A recent strength accomplishment shows that the 73-year-old powerlifter might only be getting better as time goes on.  On July 27, 2022, Duffy posted a clip to her Instagram profile where she deadlifted 113.4 kilograms (250 pounds) raw with a trap bar that had 22.7 kilograms (50 pounds) in chains attached. Per Open Powerlifting , Duffy has only competed in the 56-kilogram weight class since the start of her career in April 2015.

Mattie Rogers will not be denied when it comes to setting new bars of weightlifting excellence.  On July 28, 2022, during the 2022 Pan-American Championships in Bogotá, Colombia, Rogers’ combination of overhead strength and leg power was displayed again. During the contest, the 76-kilogram weightlifter captured a 141-kilogram (310.8-pound) clean & jerk to set a new Senior American Record . The mark surpasses Rogers’ previous record from the 2022 USA Weightlifting (USAW) National Championships Week by one kilogram (2.2 pounds) .  Thanks to that new record clean & jerk figure, a 111-kilogram (244.7-pound) top snatch , and a 252-kilogram (555.5 pounds) total — Rogers took home three gold medals in the 76-kilogram division. It’s the American athlete’s second Pan-American title in three years (2020, 2022).  Check out a video of Rogers’ American Record clean & jerk from her Instagram profile:             View this post on Instagram
