Rudy Kadlub (73 years old) squatted 195kg twice!

Every exerciser would like to lift weights until an advanced age. But the reality is different than the imagination and few manage to exercise even in old age. However, sometimes there are those who even at a very advanced age perform really impressive feats and few can imagine that we could do something similar at such an age.

One such exceptional man is Rudy Kadlub, who will be competing at the USPA Drug Tested National Championships, which will be held May 27-31 in Atalanta, Georgia. He won this competition last year, so his goal will be to defend his title. However, Rudy is currently 73 years old!

Kadlub began his professional powerlifting career at the age of 57 and has been competing regularly for the past 16 years. Over the course of his career, Rudy has competed in 37 sanctioned competitions and has won gold medals in 31 of them.

Personal bests:

• Squat: 182.5 kilograms (402.3 pounds) (2015 APF Winter Classic)
• Bench Press: 142.5 kilograms (314.1 pounds) ( 2021 IPL Drug Tested World Championship )
• Deadlift: 235 kilograms (518 pounds) ( 2020 USPA Drug Tested North American Championships ) U110KG split world record
• Total: 547.5 kilograms (1207 pounds) (2015 APF Winter Classic)
