Grandma, 65, bench presses 115.5 pounds
United Press International - NewsTrack - Quirks - Grandma, 65, bench presses 115.5 pounds

ZIONSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Mary Miller of Zionsville, Ind., a petite 65-year-old grandmother of five, is one of the world’s strongest women -- and she has the world record to prove it.
Miller last month set a world record in the bench press for her age and weight class, lifting 115.5 pounds during a World Association of Bench Pressers and Deadlifters competition in Lansing, Mich., The Indianapolis Star reported.
The previous record was 95 pounds.
Miller plans to lift 120 pounds in November at the world championships in Anaheim, Calif., the newspaper said.
Miller started lifting about 15 years ago when she realized she was beginning to lose muscle mass. She and her husband, Curt, started to work with personal trainer Pete Rogers.
"When we started out, I just wanted to stay fit," she told the Star. "Pete made everything happen. He made me believe in the strength I have."
Miller said she also has a genetic connection to physical strength -- her father was a 5-foot-4-inch, 135-pound boxer. He died at age 95.

Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
