90-Year-Old Powerlifters Crush Age, Bones, and Expectations
Meet the five fearless Americans redefining 'over the hill' by sprinting, swimming, ping-ponging, and powerlifting well past 70. According to Business Insider, exercise is 'the most powerful drug for longevity,' which sounds like a CVS pitch, but hey, maybe it's cheaper than bingo and prune juice. These silver Spartans didnāt just find hobbies; they built communities, goals, and probably annoyed younger gym rats with stories about the good old days ā like the time they crushed that table tennis match or deadlifted way more than your ego. Spoiler: it's never too late to start (or annoy your family).

Turns out, 80-year-olds lifting weights and paddling ping-pong balls is the anti-retirement plan. Meanwhile, Iām still negotiating getting off the couch without groaning like a dying robot.
Who knew choosing powerlifting over daytime TV could turn you into the healthiest gangsta on the block? Someone get these guys a Netflix series or at least a gold medal for patience.
Forget youth; these grandpas and grandmas just turned their retirement into a competitive sport. Iām exhausted chasing my own motivation, let alone water wings and table tennis glory.
