CrossFit Ready 2 Live

<blockquote>I'm Sally Haas, a 72-year old competitive powerlifter in the St. Louis area, and I thought my story might be a good fit for The Patch Online. I started powerlifting at age 70 (with only one year of gym experience) and I now compete, hold state records, and train with people decades younger than I am.&nbsp; Along the way, I've become passionate about challenging the idea that getting older automatically means becoming weaker or less capable. I train with my powerlifting coach, Zach Cayer at The Edge, who also lives in Affton.&nbsp; He trains me exactly as he would a much younger powerlifter - age isn't the standard; strength is. I share my training as "GymGrannySally" on social media, where some of my videos have reached thousands (and even millions) of people.&nbsp; I've also written a book, Grow Old or Grow Strong,&nbsp;about the same idea that drives what I'm doing now:&nbsp; we have far more control over how we age than we believe. What started as a documenting of my own lifting has turned into something bigger - encouraging older adults to rethink what they believe they can still do. My message is simple:&nbsp; Muscle knows no age. If you think this might make an interesting local feature, I'd be delighted to talk with you.&nbsp; Zach and I would both be available, and I can provide photos and lifting videos as well. Thank you!
