When 73-year-old Rosemina Hamzah stepped up to the hex bar at Singapore\u2019s Mbold Seniors Hex Bar Deadlift Challenge in August, she was not just attempting her first deadlift competition \u00ad\u2013 she was rewriting what ageing looks like. Latching onto 67.5kg (149lbs), more than her own body weight of 64kg, the novice lifter pulled it with ease \u2013 a personal best to win her category.<\/p>\n

It was a remarkable feat for a woman who, just over a year ago, could hardly walk and was constantly in pain.<\/p>\n

Before August 2025, Hamzah had seldom exercised. The Singaporean retiree had cycled to and from her work as a cook occasionally when she was younger and carried groceries home from the market every week, but beyond that, physical fitness had never really factored into her life.<\/p>\n

Today, Hamzah \u2013 a mother of six children aged 30 to 50, and affectionately known as Cik<\/em> Rose (\u201cAunty Rose\u201d in Malay) \u2013 is a regular at her local gym in the eastern part of Singapore. There she is often seen training alongside her daughter, Maryam Rahman, a 33-year-old personal trainer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
