Old Ladies Lift Chat with Barbara Cheney - Not Dead, Can't Quit
Welcome to Old Ladies Lift Chat! This episode features Barbara Cheney, a 72-year-old lifter from Florida. Over the years, Barbara has recovered from various injuries including a monteggia fracture on her arm and knee replacements in both knees. Nothing has stopped her from competing and setting records. She inspires us all with her ability to persevere, to recover, and to lift heavier and heavier every year. She is a wonderful example of our motto: age is inevitable, weakness is not.
Age is inevitable. Weakness is not.
The Old Ladies Lift group is for all the women who have come to strength sports later in life. As older women lifting heavy weights, we are charting unknown territories. Training regimes and research were almost all exclusively developed by young men for young men. There are virtually no programs or research on how older women might need to train differently to achieve maximum lifts. We're going to build that body of research here together. Whether you do Crossfit, Olympic, or powerlifting or all three, if you are a woman over 40 who trains hard, lifts heavy, and has learned a thing or two along the way, please share your stories, videos, insight, and questions.

Old Ladies Lift Chat Episode 8: Powerlifting After Brain Injury
Is powerlifting with a brain injury possible? Yes, it is. Today we talk to Arlyn Smith, one of the most inspirational members of the OLL community. Arlyn suffered stroke that affected her cerebellum when she was 23 years old. She was not expected to live, let alone go on to become a powerlifter at the age of 41. Arlyn reminds us daily that it is not about what we cannot do, but what we can.
