With his sights set on smashing not one, not two, but a whopping 31 state and national records, Hays is proving that age is just a number in the world of strength sports.

Hays, who only took up powerlifting five years ago, is a testament to late bloomers everywhere.

He’s not just competing against his peers in the masters division, but also going toe-to-toe with athletes a third of his age in the open division.

In a recent chat with KSTP Sports at Timberwolf Fitness in Roseville, Hays showcased his impressive strength and determination.

His fitness journey is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to start, and there’s no such thing as too ambitious a goal.

As Hays gears up for the championship this Saturday, he’s not just lifting weights – he’s lifting the spirits of everyone who hears his story.

So here’s to Joe Hays, the 63-year-old powerlifting prodigy, who’s showing us all that age is no barrier to breaking records.
