Zionsville, Ind. - Mary Miller of Zionsville, Ind., a petite 65-year-old grandmother of five, is one of the world’s strongest women -- and she has the world record to prove it.

Miller last month set a world record in the bench press for her age and weight class, lifting 115.5 pounds during a World Association of Bench Pressers and Deadlifters competition in Lansing, Mich.

The previous record was 95 pounds.

Miller plans to lift 120 pounds in November at the world championships in Anaheim, Calif.

Miller started lifting about 15 years ago when she realized she was beginning to lose muscle mass.

Miller said she also has a genetic connection to physical strength -- her father was a 5-foot-4-inch, 135-pound boxer. He died at age 95.
