Local Grandmother Setting Records in the Gym
Inspiring Detroit
A hometown native Detroit grandmother is setting records all around the United States, she’s setting a new standard at her age and is not slowing down. Nora Langdon began her journey at the age of 68 in 2007, and after watching the other lifters within the Royal Oak gym she became inspired to look into powerlifting. Her coach Art Little was very hesitant at first to train her when she first asked him. However, she showed her power and determination to start off with the basics and work her way to setting records for her age group. She is competing in squatting, dead-lifts, and benching in competition, all together, lifting a combined total of 900 plus pounds of weight.
