The 91-year-old World War II veteran just recently set the bench press world record in the over 90 class of the World Association Of Benchers &#038; Deadlifters with a 187.2 pound bench press. This demolished the previous bench press record of 135 pounds that has stood since 2005.<\/p>\n<p>Sy started working out at the age of 60 and is in better shape today that a lot of men half his age.
