Lucy Milgrim, a spirited 10-year-old from Long Island, has taken the fitness world by storm with her impressive strength training abilities. In a modest garage gym, alongside her parents Michelle and Brett Milgrim, Lucy demonstrated her prowess by dead-lifting a 145-pound barbell; a noteworthy achievement for a child weighing only 58 pounds.
With her vibrant pink and blue high-tops firmly planted on the gym floor, Lucy approached her lifting session with determination. She skillfully performed pull-ups and ring dips, making them appear effortless, while she entertained with tales from school and discussed her favorite hairstyle, battle braids.
Lucy began her strength journey at the age of eight. She has since set three American records in powerlifting and excels in wrestling. Her exceptional skills have earned her a significant following on social media. Managed by her parents, her Instagram and TikTok accounts have attracted 232,000 followers. Her most popular Instagram post showcases her dead-lifting a remarkable 180 pounds at a powerlifting event, which has garnered over 67 million views and 3.7 million likes.
Her interest in powerlifting began upon observing her parents exercise in their home gym. Her father, Brett, an attorney and wrestling coach, supported her interest and recognized the benefits it could provide for her wrestling career.
