Sharie Mobley is a 69 year-old woman from Little Rock, Arkansas who has become known as “Granny Hulk” because of her ability to deadlift 305 pounds! Sharie is hoping to show the world that age really is just a number.

“When you’re retired, you have the opportunity,” Sharie said. “It’s my motivation. It’s what keeps me going. To sit at home, I couldn’t do it.”

Sharie broke the all-time world record in the deadlift for her class/division when the 123 pound grandmother of ten pulled an amazing 305 pounds at a sanctioned Powerlifting meet in Little Rock. She managed to accomplish this even though she started going to the gym when she was 60.

“I think she’s helped me out more than I’ve helped her,” said trainer Kurt Mattison. “She looked at me and she said you cannot swear around me, do you understand me? I thought I was being scolded by my mom. I was like. ‘yes, ma’am.'”

Sharie explained that she began lifting as a way to offset osteoporosis, and that she can’t standing sitting at home doing the stereotypical grandmotherly things.

“Dogs are their lives or playing cards or reading and that’s just not my thing,” she said.

Sharie now works out for two hours, four days a week, and she can do 175 squats. She is hoping to be able to do even more by the end of the year, with Kurt’s help.

“He says a lot of it is up here [mind]. He said I got the strength and the ability but the gray matter gets in the way,” she said.

Sharie is hoping that her story will serve as proof that a soul can stay young forever.

“I would tell anybody my age, it’s never too late to start,” she said.
