Two years ago, 78-year-old Shirley Webb's exercise of choice was mowing the lawn.
"That's about the only exercise I ever got," she told ESPN.com.
That all changed when she walked into the Club Fitness gym in Wood River, Illinois, two years ago. Back then, she couldn't climb the stairs without getting winded. These days? She's a state and national record holder for the deadlift. A recent video posted to Facebook showed the strong woman lifting 225 pounds three times — and her maximum is 245 pounds.
