10-Year-Old Girl Stuns Fans With Incredible Strength, 64 Pull-Ups
Ten-year-old Lucy Milgrim has left social media users stunned after showcasing extraordinary strength, including completing 64 pull-ups and lifting weights several times her body weight.
The young athlete from Long Island, New York, is a champion wrestler, powerlifter, and kid fitness influencer who has built a following by sharing videos showcasing her impressive abilities.
Lucy previously attracted widespread attention after a video of her deadlifting 180 pounds (81.6 kg) at the Arnold Sports Festival went viral.
The lift was reportedly around three times her body weight, prompting thousands of people online to marvel at the young athlete’s strength and dedication.
Lucy Milgrim explains her workout routine
During a conversation with wellness operator BodybyMark in Manhattan on October 5, 2026, Lucy was asked about her workout routine after being described as exceptionally muscular and fit.
The 10-year-old explained that she trains with weights at the gym about once a week and also does additional exercises at home.
“I’m 10 years old. I lift in the gym once a week. I do extra work at night, like pull-ups and stuff, but when I’m in the gym, I do more weightlifting,” she explained.
Lucy also revealed some of her personal lifting records.
“For deadlifting, my strongest lift is 185; in bench, it’s 90, and for squat, I’m pretty sure it’s 160,” she said.
The young athlete said she had been working with weights for approximately two years.
Lucy Milgrim takes on a 12-year-old’s pull-up record
The conversation took another turn when Lucy was challenged to beat a pull-up record reportedly set by a 12-year-old boy.
The boy had completed 58 pull-ups, and Lucy was offered $100 if she could surpass that number.
She accepted the challenge and ultimately completed 64 pull-ups, surpassing the 58-repetition mark by six.
Lucy also revealed what she planned to do with the money.
“I will buy some Squishmallows and then save the rest for college,” she said.
