The best part about bodybuilding is that it has no age limit. From children to oldies, bodybuilding has stirred the motivation to work out in many across the world. Last year, a video showed an 80-year-old man achieving his much-awaited bodybuilding goal. Nevertheless, what he achieved will put many bodybuilders to shame.
On September 2022, an Instagram bodybuilding page named Sats Norge posted a mind-boggling video of a man lifting an unbelievable 330 lbs. barbell like a pro. However, his motivation to lift at 80 comes with a special reason related to his wife.

In the video, Magne is seen performing a raw deadlift. He was wearing lifting straps and belts to help him lift the barbell correctly. The 80-year-old had a conventional stance while performing the deadlift. Once he lifted the 330 lbs barbell, he walked a few steps ahead, holding the bar in the upright position. He gently placed the barbell back on the rack and took a few steps back. Later on, he received great applause from the trainers who were cheering him while he was fulfilling his dream.
Moreover, his motivation to keep working on his strength comes from his physically disabled wife. Magne has been training dedicatedly to support his handicapped wife. He wishes to be strong enough so that her wife can live with her.
It seems like after achieving his goal, Magne will aim for more challenging weights.
