9-Year-Old American Girl Stuns With Record-Breaking Deadlift

Columbus. While most 9-year-olds are occupied with mobile games or toys, Lucy Milgrim of the United States has carved out a unique and daring identity. Lucy has astonished people worldwide by lifting three times her own body weight.

She became an overnight social media sensation after successfully deadlifting 180 pounds (approximately 82 kg) at the recently held Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio. Weighing only 60 pounds herself, Lucy demonstrated remarkable athletic prowess by lifting a weight three times her size in a single motion.

She has already set three American records through USA Powerlifting. Given her professional wrestling background and rigorous five-day-a-week training regimen, many have dubbed her a 'Super Girl.'

According to her father, Brett Milgrim, she has been naturally strong since she was a toddler. As she began to walk, she would mimic her parents' gym workouts.

With her father being a wrestling coach, she found additional inspiration to pursue sports. 'Seeing my parents working out hard in the gym made me want to do the same, and that is how I reached this point,' Lucy said regarding her passion.

However, Lucy's achievement has sparked significant debate and controversy on social media. While many praise her abilities, health experts and the public have expressed concern that lifting such heavy weights at the tender age of 9 could have serious consequences for her body.

Critics argue that lifting heavy weights at a young age could hinder bone development and lead to future physical issues, labeling the activity as unsafe. Lucy and her family have not yet provided an official response to these criticisms and concerns raised on social media.
