“My Grandpa can outlift your Grandpa!”

 

Sidney Coad Williams Interview

 

 

By:  Matt Weik

 

 

Ok, for starters, Sidney isn’t really my grandfather.  But seriously, this guy is amazing.  For most people his age sitting around all day and taking naps is a norm.  Not for Sidney, while most are sleeping he is in the gym training—AND NOT WITH ANY SISSY WEIGHTS! 

 

 

Sidney, thank you for taking time out of your day for this interview with me.  You have quite an amazing story.  You are a world record holder, health activist, as well as a retired South African Police Detective Superintendent.  For those who have never read about you, can you give them a brief background on yourself?

 

 

Most 83 year olds have no problem sitting on the sofa all day and watching tv and taking naps.  What motivates you to stay active?

 

 

Now you have been training since 1945.  That’s longer than some of the ages reading this interview!  What got you started in weight lifting?

 

 

How many days a week do you train?  And what do your workouts look like?

 

 

You are one of the strongest people in the world for your age class, what does that mean to you?

 

 

You actually challenge people to try and beat your world record.  Has anyone come close?

 

 

Are you currently trying to break any other world records?

 

 

Sidney, your story is truly inspirational.  I wish you the best.  Thank you again for taking the time for this interview.  Cheers!

 

 

Greetings

Thank you for the accolades.

Yes I started training in 1945 with dumbells, a barbell, a headstrap and iron boots as we did not have any gyms then.

My driving force was to get sufficient strength to face up to bullies who are too scared to confront men who are their equals strength wise.

I train twice a week with heavy weights as I concentrate on strength training.

I use loose weights barbells, dumbbells and machines.

I am one of the strongest people in the world in the age group 80 years and older.

I have been featured on television, in newspapers and I have a presence in most blogs.

My challenge is in all my blogs but to date I have not received a challenge.

I am a HEALTH ACTIVIST.

I hope that there are other men or women out there who are in the same category as myself 

because I will then be able to conclusively prove that adopting a 

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

can benefit everyone.

I AM NOT ONE OF A KIND
