Sy Perlis, 91, hugs his wife, Joan, 69, after setting a new international record in the 90-and-over category for the bench press in Phoenix on June 8. Perlis, a 91-year-old Arizona weightlifter didn't just break a world record for the bench press, he powered through it by 52 pounds (23.5 kilograms). Sy Perlis set the record by benching 187.2 pounds (85 kilograms) at the National Bench Push-Pull Press and Dead Lift Championships on Saturday in Phoenix.

Go ahead. The gym is waiting for you, young man :colbert:

website loads great from Boston.

Guess people still care about the Guiness book of world records. I think I need to become a kid again.

Yeah, it has a survey halfway down (scroll down). You have to do a 1 or 2 question survey to see the rest of the pictures, otherwise it whites out the rest of the page :p

I read in another story he took up weightlifting at the age of 60.

You'd think he'd be at a big disadvantage compared to those lifters who have lifted all their lives, however maybe not having all that wear and tear on his body from a lifetime of lifting was an advantage for him instead?

My joints now sublux if I even put 5lbs of force on them. Yea, the gym is not for me.

He set the record for the 90 and over category at 91 that's pretty young : p
