Mary Duffy has tried her hand at competitive powerlifting for over seven years. A recent strength accomplishment shows that the 73-year-old powerlifter might only be getting better as time goes on.  On July 27, 2022, Duffy posted a clip to her Instagram profile where she deadlifted 113.4 kilograms (250 pounds) raw with a trap bar that had 22.7 kilograms (50 pounds) in chains attached. Per Open Powerlifting , 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 feat — where she wore a lifting belt and lifting straps — is 2.4 times her usual recent competition body weight.              View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Mary Duffy (@mduff2404) [Related: The Best Sled Workouts For Muscle, Strength, Fat Loss, And Recovery ]...

On July 27, 2022, the Canadian strongman showed why with a 195-kilogram (430-pound) log press during a training session that he posted to his Instagram profile. According to the caption of Boudreault’s post, he referred to the massive log press as “final tuning” for the upcoming 2022 Shaw Classic . The Log Press is one of the staple events on the final day of the competition.

People who ate Swedish, Icelandic, Finnish, and Norwegian staples for six months lowered cholesterol levels and amounts of saturated and unsaturated fat in the blood, while improving blood sugar regulation, per research from the University of Copenhagen. Both are attributed to weight loss . In the study, blood and urine samples were collected from 200 participants over the age of 50, who had elevated BMI and were at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

The fact is, few people seem to pay attention to the triceps, but they’re hard at work in nearly every lift and they’re essential for almost every goal. Often neglected and underappreciated, your triceps can have a dramatic impact on both your physique and your performance. It doesn’t take a ton of work to build bigger, stronger tris , but it does take some smart training. Here are the best movements to put this muscular background player on centerstage.
