WWII veteran Warner Schlaupitz aims to bench press 100 pounds at Delaware's senior olympics in September. He works with a personal trainer and credits his healthy and active lifestyle to his longevity.
Warner Schlaupitz, a Delaware resident who recently turned 100 years old, is working toward an impressive goal: Bench press 100 pounds at the state’s Senior Olympics in September.
"So I got to get to 100 between now and September," he told FOX Television Stations. "I’ll work at it until September. And if I can go better than 100, I'll be happy. But I'm going to make 100." Schlaupitz, who was born in Germany but raised in Dover, works with a personal trainer weekly who has been helping him to successfully complete the skill. "That’s my goal," the father of three added, noting that fitness and nutrition are the secrets to his longevity.
Schlaupitz also cited the importance of nutrition, crediting his caretaker who makes him nutritious meals daily. He said his upbringing, growing up during the Great Depression, has also contributed to his healthy lifestyle over the years.
