    Today at the gym I bench pressed 25 kg for the first time . I think thats 55 lb. I managed 3 x 5 reps before I had to drop down to 20 kg .
    I am so exited and pleased with myself and thought I would share it here because my family just laugh and think I am nuts to even think about lifting weights at my age.

    Anyway for those that are interested my stats are

    Age 63
    5 feet 1 inch tall
    116 pounds

    and heres todays celebratory pic after the lifts

    You go Granny! That makes me feel hopeful for myself once I manage to get access to some weights.

    Your pic is going right into my inspiration folder. I will never complain about being too old and tired again.

    I'm 61 and everyone has been laughing at me because I've started doing some boxing training. But it's such fun and hopefully it'll help me get some more weight off.

    You are such an inspiration to this 51 year old grandma who just started lifting. Thank you for that, and congrats on your NSV!
