This Singaporean grandma, 73, couldn’t walk without pain. Today, she deadlifts 67.5kg
When 73-year-old Rosemina Hamzah stepped up to the hex bar at Singapore’s Mbold Seniors Hex Bar Deadlift Challenge in August, she was not just attempting her first deadlift competition – she was rewriting what ageing looks like. Latching onto 67.5kg (149lbs), more than her own body weight of 64kg, the novice lifter pulled it with ease – a personal best to win her category.
It was a remarkable feat for a woman who, just over a year ago, could hardly walk and was constantly in pain.
