    "Mac" Richards started powerlifting when he was 57 years old and within a year set new Masters World Records in each of the three lifts: squatting 425 pounds, benching 308 pounds, deadlifting 479 pounds and totaling 1212 pounds.

    In the years that followed, he won 18 National titles and four World Powerlifting Championships.

    Here were his marks at the age of 75 years and 198 lbs, (Still Masters records for the International Powerlifting Association, by the way.)

    Squat: 440 pounds
    Bench: 330 pounds
    Deadlift: 470 pounds
    Total: 1240 pounds

    Mac was inducted into the York Barbell Powerlifting Hall of Fame in 2000. He was also a good friend who will be missed.
