Mary Duffy has tried her hand at competitive powerlifting for over seven years. A recent strength<\/a> accomplishment shows that the 73-year-old powerlifter might only be getting better as time goes on. <\/p>\n

On July 27, 2022, Duffy posted a clip to her Instagram profile where she deadlifted<\/a> 113.4 kilograms (250 pounds) raw<\/strong> with a trap bar that had 22.7 kilograms (50 pounds) in chains<\/strong> attached. Per Open Powerlifting<\/em>, 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<\/a> feat \u2014 where she wore a lifting belt<\/a> and lifting straps \u2014 is 2.4 times her usual recent competition body weight. <\/p>\n
