Never Too Late: Powerlifter With 19 World Records, Started Lifting At 65

A Royal Oak gym has been the recent home to the many accolades of 78-year-old Nora Langdon, who continues to set benchmarks for her age group as a powerlifter. She says she deadlifts close to 400 pounds- squats 380 and bench presses up to 185.
That bench press though.

Strong genetics. She’s much stronger than most young women. Wonder if she has children? They’ve got to be absolute units

You would think so. Did a quick search to see if there was an interview where she discussed her family. Found a longer write up w/videos:

TBH most people CBA to stick it out here.

I'm stubborn AF in some circumstances and have a history of being disagreeable if someone tells me I can't do something, or I have to do something and the only thing they have to back that up is "because I said so".

That's really impressive. Wonder how her joints are holding up.
To the actual powerlifters here: Would equipped lifting make it harder(due to more weights) or easier(due to less balancing) on the joints?

Why post actual content, when you can keep bumping the same old lame discussion for 18+ pages?
