The Nine-Year-Old Powerlifter

I'm sure I would've set a bunch of powerlifting records I was nine years old, too, but at the time, I was busy memorizing the lyrics to Yub Nub.

You're Never Too Old to Deadlift Over 400 Pounds

Joe Stockinger -- age 82 -- is my hero.

Supergirl

Naomi Kutin is 9 years old and weighs 88 pounds. And earlier this month, at the New England Powerlifting Championship in Vermont, she set youth-class records for both the deadlift (193 pounds) and back squat (187 pounds -- enough to eclipse even the previous record of 180 pounds in the WOMEN'S Open division).



This is a girl who's still too short to get the barbell off the squat stand -- and yet she's already squatting more than double her bodyweight.



When I was nine years old, my greatest accomplishment was learning how to make fart noises with my hands.
