I saw here give an account of the battle....He didn’t have a chance. She was a trip.
You know you are in trouble in a fight when the other person doesn't bother with the club, or the hammer, or the baseball bat, or the jack handle, or the beer bottle, but goes directly for a table.
The only thing worse is when the other person decides to use you as the club.
You go girl !
Mrs. Murphy was trying to "help him" out of the house, but the criminal wasn't able to get out until the police arrived.
Good for her, may her strength and spirit inspire others.
YMCA? Does the YWCA not have a weight room? Whatever, this woman done good! Love it.
Yeah, I’d bet she throws straight punches, too.
Oh, I want to be her when I grow up! Awesome!
Those might be antique guns, but they apparently still pack a wallop.
Kudos to her....she either naturally has lots of testosterone to help her. ..or takes it...and nothing wrong with that!
I saw it...
> Not many men could dead lift 225 pounds. <
Not to brag, but I’m over 60 and I can dead lift 240 pounds. (Just not all at once. But 12 lifts of 20 pounds each, that would be quite doable.)
HE WAS BEATEN UP BY AN 82 YEAR OLD WOMAN!!! Life will NOT be good for him in prison.
He sure did pick the wrong house. :)
Here's the abstract and I have underlined the amazing parts (and added paragraphs for clarity)...
Abstract: Aging is commonly associated with a loss of muscle mass and strength, resulting in falls, functional decline, and the subjective feeling of weakness. Exercise modulates the morbidities of muscle aging. Most studies, however, have examined muscle-loss changes in sedentary aging adults. This leaves the question of whether the changes that are commonly associated with muscle aging reflect the true physiology of muscle aging or whether they reflect disuse atrophy.
This study evaluated whether high levels of chronic exercise prevents the loss of lean muscle mass and strength experienced in sedentary aging adults. A cross-section of 40 high-level recreational athletes (“masters athletes”) who were aged 40 to 81 years and trained 4 to 5 times per week underwent tests of health/activity, body composition, quadriceps peak torque (PT), and magnetic resonance imaging of bilateral quadriceps.
Mid-thigh muscle area, quadriceps area (QA), subcutaneous adipose tissue, and intramuscular adipose tissue were quantified in magnetic resonance imaging using medical image processing, analysis, and visualization soft-ware. One-way analysis of variance was used to examine age group differences.
Relationships were evaluated using Spearman correlations.
Mid-thigh muscle area (P= 0.31) and lean mass (P= 0.15) did not increase with age and were significantly related to retention of mid-thigh muscle area (P= 0.0001). This occurred despite an increase in total body fat percentage (P= 0.003) with age. Mid-thigh muscle area (P= 0.12), QA (P= 0.17), and quadriceps PT did not decline with age. Specific strength (strength per QA) did not decline significantly with age (P= 0.06). As muscle area increased, PT increased significantly (P= 0.008) [Apparently regardless of age]. There was not a significant relationship between intramuscular adipose tissue (P= 0.71) or lean mass (P= 0.4) and PT. This study contradicts the common observation that muscle mass and strength decline as a function of aging alone. Instead, these declines may signal the effect of chronic disuse rather than muscle aging. Evaluation of masters athletes removes disuse as a confounding variable in the study of lower-extremity function and loss of lean muscle mass. This maintenance of muscle mass and strength may decrease or eliminate the falls, functional decline, and loss of independence that are commonly seen in aging adults.
Someone tried to break into our house once when I was gone. He met my wife with her double 12 gauge and left in a hurry.
What’s that image a cross-section of, Teflonic?
This fellow learned that Mrs. Murphy is not one to be trifled with.
