80-Year-Old Woman Takes On Grandson's Challenge, Does Overhead Press; Video Goes Viral [Watch]

An 80-year-old woman has taken the internet by storm after she took on the fitness challenge given by her grandson and effortlessly did an overhead press.

The woman's impressive performance was caught on video, which has since gone viral online.

In the jaw-dropping clip posted on Instagram by a user who goes by the handle @Punjabi_Industry, one can see the grandmom lifting a barbell on a terrace as her grandson films her. The barbell appears to have been loaded with 24- to 34-pound weights on each side, yet the woman is able to lift it high above her head for a few seconds before her grandson rushes to help her lower it to the ground.

The woman's grandson was amazed to see his grandmother actually finishing the challenge he just jokingly gave, according to India.com.

Unsurprisingly, netizens who saw the video were so impressed as well. In fact, many of them left positive comments on the clip, which has so far garnered more than 31,000 views.

"You go grans show-em that mad skill," a user wrote in the comment section, while another netizen wrote, "Strong !!!!!!!"

In a similar video that went viral in November 2021, a 72-year-old woman was seen ziplining across an amusement park in India like it was no big deal. What shocked netizens more was the fact that the elderly performed the daring act while wearing a saree, Indian ethnic wear. The clip, which was reportedly recorded in the southern Indian state of Kerala, showed the woman, identified as Paruamma, yanking meters above from the ground with safety gears strapped to her body. She then swiftly ziplined across the park and even fist-bumped with the person taking the video when she reached the line's end. Apparently, the woman had always dreamt of trying out the activity but had never gotten the chance until that day.
