Ummm what?

She has better form than me, and I'm 20. 

But anyways, Bleacher Report and espnW were able to get the background info on Granny The Impeccable Deadlifter. 

According to espnW's Rachel Marcus, Webb has set deadlifting age- and weight-group records in Illinois and Missouri, with a 237-pound mark in Illinois and 215 pounds in Missouri. Webb went on to say that she was unable to walk up a flight stairs, so she joined a gym with her granddaughter two years ago and, well the rest is history. 

"I have no intention of stopping right now," Webb said. "When I go to the gym and work out, when I leave, I feel so much better than I did when I went in, and I just feel so good. I feel tremendous."

Such an awesome story. Is it bad I'm kind of jealous, though?
