At 55 years old, Grant Higa is still squatting nearly 700 pounds, breaking American records, and competing against lifters half his age.

We sat down with the legendary powerlifter and strongman to discuss how he's maintained elite-level strength for over three decades without performance-enhancing drugs. Grant shares his approach to training, recovery, injury prevention, and longevity, including why he now prefers six-week training cycles and how strongman training keeps him motivated.

We also get into his recent performance at the Olympia, where he broke four American records, the evolution of powerlifting since the 1990s, and why staying strong for life matters more than chasing short-term success.
