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. With that in mind, her deadlift training feat — where she wore a lifting belt and lifting straps — is 2.4 times her usual recent competition body weight.              View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Mary Duffy (@mduff2404) [Related: The Best Sled Workouts For Muscle, Strength, Fat Loss, And Recovery ]...
