Meet the UK's oldest power-lifting couple who between them can deadlift more than twice their combined body weights. Super-strong Catherine Wass, 66, and husband Stuart Hamilton, 59, have both smashed records for their age and weight groups after 'coming out of retirement.'
Catherine set the power-lifting world record for bench press in her age and weight category earlier this month (13/05). She benched 82.5kg, beating the previous record by 7.5kg, at the BPU British Single Lift Championships.
And, on the same day, Catherine beat the British deadlift record by 5kg - registering a weight of 125kg. Her husband Stuart Hamilton, 59, is also a force to be reckoned with, and holds the European record for bench press. He benched 173kg in the same competition last year, beating the previous record by 0.5kg.
