As many of us know, having an older relative can be arduous, especially when it comes to addressing concerns about their safety. Yes, nana might still be able to function on her own during routine, day to day activities, but what if the worst should happen? What if, God forbid, she was targeted by criminals as an easy mark and robbed in her own home?

Good news: there’s a simple solution. Just have your grandmother start deadlifting at the gym every day until she becomes a world-renowned weight lifter capable of laying some sick Dwayne Johnson smackdown on any intruder foolish enough to try and smell what she’s probably literally cooking. It’s extreme, but it works, apparently. 

As reported by the Associated Press, on November 21st, 2019, a man approached the home of 82-year old Rochester resident Willie Murphy, claiming that he needed an ambulance. When Murphy called first responders without opening the door, the man reportedly forced his way into the house.

And that, as the old saying goes, is when things got real.

Weight, weight, don't kill me
