20 year old Darilyn Doddy of Bay City, is making world records in weight lifting, including youngest girl in the world to bench over 400 pounds.
Recently at the National weightlifting event in West Palm Beach, Florida on April 2, 2011, Doddy set the world record for the youngest girl to ever to bench over 400 pounds. Her record bench was at 402 pounds.
In November 2010, Doddy placed 1st and was a gold medal winner in Mikkeli, Finland. There were 500 competitors from 24 countries around the world, who qualified in the competition.
Doddy is also a certified personal trainer and works part time at Waterfront Market in Downtown Bay City.
Doddy does much of her weight conditioning at Old Town Gym in Bay City, and does her heavy weight lifting at Howell Fitness Center in Howell, Michigan.
Doddy said she got started in weightlifting when she
was in a strength class in high school and noticed she was stronger than all the other girls.
Doddy said, "I didn't really think anything of it, just thought it was fun. Then when I graduated I joined Old Town Gym in Bay City and was benching for fun one day and a guy who worked there came up to me and was surprised by the amount of weight I was benching and told me I should try power lifting."
Doddy continued, "I had no idea what power lifting was all about, so I started talking to a few of the local power lifters."
And now the rest is in record books.
Whats next for Doddy?
"I'm guest lifting at the APF Gulf Coast Competition in New Port Richie, FL May 28th and then 4 weeks later at the end of June IPA Worlds in York, PA", said Doddy.
MyBayCity wishes Darilyn Doddy continued success and commends her for her extraordinary accomplishments.
